We are all being crushed by the naked reality...

People are most afraid of their dreams being shattered, and when their dreams are shattered, the spiritual world will collapse... The house built by the grandfather that Jimmy always pursues, he can leap from the discrimination of whites, the discrimination of both blacks, and the white eyes of real estate agents, but that is his only He can endure all violence, but as long as he can get the house built by his grandfather, it seems that everything can be better...The only one by his side, who supports him, and who has hope for life, is out of his own In the drama that was finally performed, he was told the truth, but this is reality...The death of a friend reveals the estrangement between blacks that can never be erased, and white discrimination, but it is far less than the reality of mutual trampling between the same race. black person is always a very casual name for each other. Jimmy has never called anyone nigga, and so does Monte. He always wears an old suit and shirt, but he always wants to prove himself that he is an identity and educated person...

On the side of the Golden Gate Bridge, there is the city that white people want to escape quickly, but there is a "castle" that black people will never get there. On the bus, he heard the white people scold the city, and Jimmy still defended him. , But there will never be a place for him, reality...naked reality. Jimmy saw his mother, whom he hadn’t seen for a long time, on the bus. First, his mother recognized him. The very polite dialogue between the two made people feel helpless. How many broken families brought pain to young children. It's a real problem...

Everyone asked Jimmy, "Hey! Are you still skateboarding?" It seemed that this was the only impression he gave to everyone, including his father... Jimmy was skating on the skateboard and walking on the street. Everyone thought that black It should be inferior, vulgar, swindling and kidnapping... But Jimmy and Monte kept the rules in everything. They wanted to integrate into the life of San Francisco city, but people's vision could never be changed until they finally learned about this house. It was not covered by his grandfather. He stepped on the only skateboard that belonged to him, which also revealed that he has no hope anymore. The collapse of the spiritual world is so fast...Reality, still naked...

Monte’s one-man show is full of scenes of everyday life on the streets of the neighborhood, the speaker fighting against environmental pollution, the swear words of street gangsters, and everything is to pay tribute to the friend who was shot on the street, when Monte invited him to be a guest. At that time, in a clean house, he was so polite, but after leaving, he still stood on the side of the street, followed other people, insulting Jimmy and Monte, his inferiority complex turned into violence, and real life forced them to change. Become the self you don’t want to be...

When all of them saw this play, some laughed, and some couldn’t calm their hearts...Yes, they all lived in a place that had been polluted for more than fifty years. Monte was on a small boat, a fish bouncing up. With four eyes, nuclear pollution is so serious, but...this is where they live, no one can change, no one can change it, so Jimmy wants to escape here, and Montessang follows Jimmy to leave here...to live together As a human, why can't you pursue better everything?

The black people were singing the praises of San Francisco on the street. When Jimmy went to see his father, the black people on the street sang "My Dear Dad"... but this place does not belong to them, even if there is more love...

In the end, the only thing Jimmy can do is to leave. He left a note in the notebook of a good friend, because here, there is no more dream, no more spiritual support, how much he loves San Francisco, but in the end I can only leave all this in my own past... How sad!

A movie seems extremely dull, but it exposes all the social problems in it, and people can't help but think, what is depth? This is the depth. What you can see is the depth. Everything that happens every day is the depth. It’s just that you put it on the screen and magnified it countless times before discovering that the real life is so helpless. Haven't looked up! A very good movie, which is deeply touching, especially at a time when the United States is anxious due to the issue of racial discrimination... Produced by A24, it must be a boutique!
