The reason why I quote this explanation at the beginning is to restore the superficial misunderstanding of the director. As soon as the film "Tong" came out, it was regarded as a copy of Crash, so many people regarded the film as a realistic film that reflected racial discrimination. Of course, the Mexican director Alessandro can touch the conflict between people of color and whites when he directs the scene of the nanny of illegal immigrants in Mexico. It has been eight years since I came to the United States, and I can support myself even if I rent a house... The words also show the unspeakable pain in the hearts of many illegal immigrants. In the process, they can feel the pain caused by racial discrimination. In addition, there is not much performance on racial issues. There are three reasons:
1. The twelve people in the film are divided into three countries and have four different destinies. It is the film that builds an invisible connection frame to enhance the plot and look and feel
2. The film shows that although there are differences in language and culture, love is the guide and the bright theme. Brad Pitt's meticulous care and care for Blanchett made him lose his voice when he heard the tender "complaint" of his son from afar; when the kid who shot the gun knelt and surrendered for his brother, the arrogant police showed mixed emotions of helplessness and pity; the local guide finally Refused to accept Brad's money and goods, but only tried to help the injured; the nanny did not care about his arrest, but paid more attention to the whereabouts of the two children; the police hugged the naked Rinko Kikuchi with his father, trying to open his autistic heart... These shots all inadvertently convey the director's original intention - the world is in harmony in their "ghosts", and only love can overcome the language barrier and restore the essence. The objects of these scenes are the care of the strong for the weak, giving "unity and integration" in the original sense of "chaos". The last two scenes of the film are very interesting, the father and Kikuchi hugging on the balcony, and the scene Yu La Yu Yuan, there is such a kind of family love pervading the night, dotted with stars on the streets of Tokyo, and after the end of the film, a subtitle appeared: "Dedicated to my child. The darkest night, the brightest light." It perfectly shows the light of hope in despair.
3. The director uses the Bible as the title of the film and pays more attention to the original reflection of human nature under the differences. In addition, through allusions, it will not only be caught in the performance of racial discrimination.
"Six Degrees of Divide" makes a subtle connection appear among the six people in the world, so that an independent world of the six people also appears.
