Collin witnessed the shooting of a black man in the street by a white police officer in the final days of his parole. His friend Miles is a white nigger who smokes marijuana and advocates violence. Miles isn't a black man, but he's not a white man either. His braces and pistol are gear to make him blacker. Over time, he got used to this way of life and forgot that he could be a good person, and it was not until his son played with his gun that he felt the fear...
Blindspotting blind spot, quoted from a knowledge point in the book: Vase or two faces? One can only see one side of it at a time. Collin wanted Val to forget the bad side of himself. When Val questioned Miles' character, Collin was still defending his buddies, and later when Miles was about to shoot innocent people, Collin felt that what Miles did was too extreme.
The most classic of the whole film is the two dialogues: Collin's questioning to Miles and the rap that Collin sings with a pistol pointed at the murdering policeman. The racial strife culminated, Collin looked at the graves on the hillside, the dead were standing by their respective tombstones... What happened to the black people? Black people don't deserve to live? Young black people are also a living life! Why do black people have to be illuminated by police with strong lights when they are walking on the road? Racial conflict is condensed in Collin and the murder cop.
At the end of the film, Miles in turn starts comforting Collin and tries a healthy vegetable juice. Collin and Miles can actually be said to be two sides of Blindspotting, and can also be regarded as the same person.
