nice. Come to think of it, I probably haven't seen a black movie. The first half has a taste of anthropological research, the group portraits are interesting, and there is no plot that does not affect the attraction. The white police, the black group, the Italian shopkeeper and the Korean small businessman have a little bit of tension, and the people who have a strong sense of personal substitution are Koreans, and the language It doesn't work, because it is not the mainstream to open a store for one year and tremble with jealousy. Later, I found out that this is just a shadow of the Italian store owner. Even if the Italians have been here for 25 years, it will not affect their heterogeneity. Do the two sides have real recognition? No, I just think I can make money here and eat pizza here. It was not until the beginning of the conflict that it was discovered that it was more like history. The teaching plans of the late Qing Dynasty conflicted with religious studies, and even a bit of the White Lotus Sect of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom. The rejection of non-I races only needs a small explosion point. What really matters is the authorities, killing people. Yes, but the object of anger is often places where outsiders such as churches, and this group anger will expand outward into large-scale xenophobia. At least the insurance company still loses money in the movie, the Koreans are fine, and people are still reconciling. Violence cannot defeat violence, and it may be difficult to remember that.

    #11th BJIFF No.4 I don't know much about Spike Lee. I only get a glimpse of this person from some interviews and his public remarks. This is his first movie I've seen. To be honest, I don't have that much liking for this person and this movie. It seems to be expressing some questions, but it doesn't make me feel too touched. There should also be a reason why I didn't have a deep understanding of the internal and external contradictions of the black race, so this work was a little unclear to me. At the end, Li quoted two paragraphs about violence. It seems that he is both against violence and in favor of violence when necessary. What is called when necessary? To smash Italian restaurants that have nothing to do with police crime? There is also a lot of occlusion and laziness about the black people in the film. In short, I don't understand the director's position. 80s Brooklyn's city and character, retro tones, and black music are good. 9.20

    Chatter and flow. Unexpectedly, Tong Dawei also played a Korean in the film, which I really admire.
