In fact, the context of this movie is very clear:
Luce grew up in a war zone and was adopted by American adoptive parents at the age of 10. All Americans want to use Luce as an example to prove that the American democratic society can change the children in this war zone and let him grow up and become a "successful" child.
Therefore, various social resources and preferential treatments will favor this child. At the same time, all people in society hope that he must become a perfect and outstanding child.
But to Luce, he was just an ordinary child, no different from other blacks or ordinary people. The whole experience is similar to that of a child from a rich family, asking the best teacher, having the best resources, and being forced to live under the spotlight. Similar to "Sicong", Dad gave so many resources, it is not unreasonable ~ but ignored that he is an ordinary person. However, Luce didn't like it himself, as he could understand from his dislike of public speaking.
Regarding Luce's girlfriend, everyone was just getting drunk and playing games. This may be normal in black circles. However, it caused harm to Luce's girlfriend (or Not). Luce comforted his girlfriend for his brother, broke up with his girlfriend, and didn't want her to be hurt anymore (the other version downstairs is more convincing, slut girlfriend doesn't care. Playing with those friends, Luce was sad after knowing it, and proposed to break up).
However, at this time, Mr. Wilson appeared. She saw this situation and was very dissatisfied with the children's actions. She wanted to encourage the girls to report on these children. Luce believed that Mr. Wilson's approach would make his friend's future lost. . Here, Mr. Wilson has accounted for political correctness, that is, black Americans are a gang of gangsters in the eyes of white people, which is not worth mentioning.
At this time, the first scene appeared, I don't know whose fireworks were placed in Luce's cabinet. At the same time, Luce wrote his homework and thought that he should stand up and resist those oppressed. In fact, it is difficult to say whether this view of resistance is correct. If “ISIS is a terrorist”, then it should be eliminated and politically correct. However, in the eyes of the so-called “terrorists”, the United States is an outsider who doesn’t know where it came from. Another oppressor who came for his own purpose should stand up and resist. Teacher Wilson represents the political correctness of the United States. That is, how can children in the war zone have the thought of resistance? However, the Americans may have killed Luce's father, mother, and brother, because they may be members of the so-called "terrorists" or "rebels." Because the premise of being adopted is that Luce has lost his original parents.
At this time, it is particularly understandable that Americans, or those who are politically correct, just want to create a beautiful image of the United States, and created Luce. He must be politically correct, abandon all hatred, and grow up to all people. As needed.
Therefore, Mr. Wilson began to use her "democracy" and methods to achieve goals, such as infringing on Luce's human rights and privacy to search, and without investigation, he said that the fireworks belonged to Luce, and at the same time affected the closest people around Luce. People, use them to put pressure on Luce. Is this very similar to the current political correctness of the United States, imprisoning people from certain companies for no reason, obtaining so-called evidence by illegal means, and using people around the opponent such as independent forces within the opponent's organization to exert pressure and so on. It seems correct, but it is actually play dirty.
On the other hand, she also consciously favored Luce in the process, found Luce’s fireworks, and chose to tell his parents that she found Deschamps’ marijuana, but she resolutely reported it, causing a promising young man to fall. Luce didn't like to see it, he wanted to protect his friend. Just like the idea of resisting oppression, from the perspective of Luce, it is also to protect the people around him. Here Luce understands that Mr. Wilson did this, not for Luce's sake, but to fulfill the requirements of the school and society. Luce must be perfected by American society. He cannot make outsiders look like the American "black entirety". "Impression" is equally depraved. For this reason, it is reasonable to sacrifice the lives and interests of some other people.
Luce’s choice is very interesting. Most people don’t have this. First of all, he verbally warned Wilson through communication, saying that I like Independence Day. The so-called Independence Day is actually the anniversary of the victory of the War of Independence. I opposed it. colonial ruling! This is a blatant declaration of war on Mr. Wilson.
The action of revenge is very clear in the film. First, through FB, I searched for the person next to Mr. Wilson, that is, her sister, and decided to start with them, create chance encounters, induce their illness, create contradictions, and then bring her to School. Later, a series of incidents were created, including finding someone to write on the teacher’s window, asking his girlfriend to deceive the teacher, making the teacher feel like a winner, but then the teacher was betrayed by the crowd, and Luce took advantage of what his adoptive parents wanted to be correct. (You need to protect your own "achievements" for many years in school meetings. After returning home to investigate, the adoptive mother forced the adoptive father to stand in line after knowing that Luce had set off the fireworks. Instead of asking the facts, only asking about standing in line), the principal wanted political correctness (Understand the general situation, don’t continue to investigate the facts, acquiesce that Luce is correct), and the political correctness that society wants (the principal said to the teacher that the school can’t protect you anymore, who asked you to challenge our political correctness). Luce won very thoroughly, he knew it too well. Finally, Luce faced her adoptive mother and said that I am good at disguising. I knew that you put the fireworks here. When facing the teacher, I also admitted that he did it. The scene in the final dialogue with Wilson The sentence that's different is to admit.
Teacher Wilson also said, do you think we are what we think of you? The pressure of this school and the pressure of society affect everyone. The political correctness of the entire country is-"Blacks are gangsters, whites go to good schools casually, the American system is superior, and a child from a war zone can succeed in becoming better when they come to the United States." This is not something you and I can change. Although you can defeat me, you still need to succumb to political correctness.
In the last scene, and the most tragic one, the protagonist Luce said insincerely, saying that he can be who he wants to be, forget his name, throw himself into the arms of a stranger, pretend to lose himself, smile, and never again Like when I was practicing speaking, I cried because I thought of my native family and told everyone that the United States is good, that is, it can make me successful. However, in his heart, he is the one running, with hatred and anger, working hard and moving forward! This is the real Luce, he is not the representative of the American Light, he is just an ordinary child from the war zone, working hard to protect the people around him.
