It may just be an uncommonly normal day, and even the little things that happen, but those so-called little things can touch deep-rooted racial issues at any time. Apartheid, if the Italians and Koreans set up shop here to make money, is a kind of expulsion of black residents, then at the end of the fire station water gun section is the actual expulsion. In fact, this is not only a racial distinction, because as pino said, the famous black people with outstanding achievements are not only black people, there are even black people in the police behind them. In fact, only low-class black residents are discriminated against and targeted, like my sister. People who feel more intellectual are not discriminated against in pizza places. There seems to be an antagonistic relationship between other races and the residents here, just like the three old men who also want to expel other races from the community. The director seems to stand in a relatively objective position. The oppressed people are all incited. However, there are various factors to be incited, which can be hot weather or loud music. They take out their grievances about the police killing of black people on the pizza parlor, or the match lit by the stuttering preacher, and the Koreans almost suffered, everything is ridiculous, but it really reflects the nature of human nature. It seems impossible to tell which person in this residential area is absolutely evil, just like the theme song of circular brainwashing has been emphasizing, fight the power. Who is this power referring to? Only white police officers appear to be portrayed as villains in the film.
There is plenty of satire in black humor, such as the stammering anti-racism slogan, the broadcast in the name of love. A lot of slanted compositions and straight-on close-ups add to the character conflict.
So what are they supposed to do? It seems that nothing can change the status quo, and most people may choose to do nothing. As it should be, this title is really good, but the biggest question is, how to judge it is the right thing? Just like the two paragraphs of Martin Luther King and Malcolm x at the end of the film, anti-violence theory and self-defense theory, it seems that there is no solution to the conflict, just like the film, the second day of this violent conflict happened, except for street clutter and broadcast news Except for the formalist mayor's manifesto, nothing seems to have changed. Both theories can be absolutely correct when they are independent of the real situation, but how do people choose when they are combined with the real situation? In fact, what needs to be solved fundamentally is the ideological problem of human beings, but it is really a long way to go to solve the root problem, do the right thing to fight the power.
Attachment: Looking at the film review, I saw this shock and started a new round of thinking.
Lee says he has been asked many times over the years if Mookie did the right thing. Then he observes: “Not one person of color has ever asked me that question.”
