Correcting the obvious error in the previous post:
1. Wayne and Roland heard Mrs. Faber say that the one-eyed black man has many nephews and nieces, and they looked at each other and thought that the one-eyed black man was suspicious because the pastor had said that Julie had said that he was going to see "aunt" . They suspect that this "aunt" is the wife of the one-eyed black man.
2. The purpose of Gint's coming to Roland's office was to order Roland to work hard for himself, kill the case that Allen wanted to overturn, and suppress it.
I am so sorry!

1. 80 Years: Saw Frame Restaurant

Tom, who was separated from his wife and son, broke the jar and broke into the sawmill restaurant where Lucy was employed. He always knew that Lucy was betraying him constantly.

Roland, who reported the crime on the street, came over alone, pulled Tom up from the ground, and settled into his home. Their later personal relationship was really established from this time.

Tom, in the arrogant white cultural environment, is used to it, the slur he uses when referring to Wayne.

But soon he realized his fault and apologized frequently.

As a failed and painful middle-aged man, he became a clown in the eyes of the people around him, and he realized that he was in a weak position like never before.

It was precisely because of this situation that he and Wayne, who was in a racially disadvantaged position, had achieved spiritual commonality, and that was why he cried and apologized so bitterly.

2. 90: Arkansas Police Department

Deputy Captain Roland is in charge of the review of the Purcell case, dispatching troops, and Wayne as his confidant. The relationship between the two is reversed compared to ten years ago.

3. 15 Years: Alyssa's Apartment

Like 25 years ago, the elderly Wayne gradually embarked on the road of "reviewing" the Purcell case. This old and sturdy man, as MacArthur famously said:

"Veterans don't die, they just fade away."

Although old Wayne lost his memory, his eyesight was still there. He glanced at the entrance, beside the messy double bed, and two wine glasses, the red one and the strong one.

Wayne said sorry to disturb you and your friends.

But Alison said it was only herself.

The purpose of Wayne's visit is to obtain clues to the case.

Alison pulls out a stack of skeleton photos of the corpse, Lucy's cousin, Dan.

In 1988, Lucy died;

In 1990, Dan disappeared.

Is there a connection between the siblings' deaths?

I think Alison's identity may not be purely a TV reporter, because she paid more attention to the Purcell case than a reporter's professionalism, with strong personal emotions.

I'm wondering if she has anything to do with Roland. If she was Roland's daughter, Roland would probably already be dead.

4. 80: Arkansas Police Department

Gint used Purcell's case to appear on the show and became a star politician, and Wayne's words exposed his power mentality. Ten years later, the results showed that he had succeeded, showing the irrationality of the social situation.

The fingerprints of Freddy with long hair, one of the trio of A Fei, were found on the bicycle.

5. 80 years: Lucy

Emilia came to Purcell's house, found Lucy, and comforted Lucy, but there was a role in the comfort. Look at this peeking action that uses hair as a covert to see that there are other intentions.

Lucy really took the bait and poured out her heart.

The main meaning of Lucy's expression: I am often fooling around, my life is disorderly, I am sorry for the child, I want to commit suicide.

But this section incorporates a lot of Emilia's subtle movements and expressions, and it seems that she was touched by Lucy's memory.

Emilia solemnly and sincerely recommended Wayne to Lucy, Lucy turned her face, and the racial discrimination in her bones escaped.

The actor who played Lucy could compete for best supporting actress for her performance in the film. Her image of a bitch is very convincing, with her tone, pause, severity, and her line skills particularly outstanding.

6. 80 years: Woodard

The scarred Woodard still managed to scavenge for a living, and this scene alone has formed a critique of the entire system and social conditions.

His conversations with children are very friendly, the distance is appropriate, and his attitude is fair.

7. 90s: Pharmacy Video

Wayne and Roland went to the police station where the pharmacy was located to check the video.

Years 8 and 15: Wayne's Vision

The old tough guy Wayne recalled the case with difficulty and recorded it while resisting the intrusion of auditory hallucinations and hallucinations.

In his fragmented words, broken information was revealed.

Julie '90 appears to have been spotted hanging out with a group of kids on the street.

One detail that should be noted is that her confused memory led him to confuse Julie and his daughter as one person.

For him, he couldn't find Julie, which means he couldn't find his daughter, and he was suffering.

The correspondence between Wayne's daughter and Julie in the play forms a clear echo at this time.

His recollections also reveal the psychological damage to the two children from his quarrel with Emilia.

The pistol appeared for the third time, and the message displayed this time was very clear. The extreme guilt made him have the urge to commit suicide.

Wayne's study was full of ghosts, and the ghosts were accumulating more and more. Mostly Vietnamese regulars and militias, and two others, one white and one Indian.

It is currently speculated that the whites are dead comrades and the Indians are Woodard.

Woodard had a bullet hole in his forehead.

According to Wayne's psychological logic, ghosts are the manifestation of guilt, and those grievances in wars and cases have tormented him for a long time.

9, 80: Freddy

Brother Freddy was invited to the police station to drink tea. The guy didn't take two sips, but he urinated first.

The previous concealment now seems to be shooting himself in the foot.

Combining the confessions of Freddy's two fox friends, Freddy bullied William, who was looking for his sister, in Devil's Den Park on the day of the crime on November 7, 1980, and chased William into the bushes for half an hour.

10, 90: Julie

Wayne, who was watching the video alone, found a video of Julie stealing from the drugstore.

That face is definitely Julie.

Why did Julie go to the pharmacy? Addicts like to use drugs to solve their addiction. Little Julie may have gone astray, becoming a bad youth on the fringes of society.

11. 80 years: "This is facing the enemy"

Woodard, who was chased and killed by a white motorcade at gunpoint, ran to his home, turned his living room into a Vietnamese jungle, laid landmines, took up a steel gun, and waited for the moment when the fish died and the net broke.

The moment the police arrived, the white uncle kicked the door with a roar.

This is the enemy, who is the enemy? The enemy of today is not the enemy of yesterday.

Racial antagonism is the mine that strikes the enemy.
