Adapted from real events. This year marks the 50th anniversary of the "Detroit Riots," one of the deadliest racial riots in American history. Among them, 43 people were killed, 467 people were injured, and more than 7,200 people were arrested, second only to the Los Angeles riots in 1992. This incident directly led to the shutdown of business in Detroit City, which was originally known as the "automobile capital", schools closed, banks closed, and the city fell into a dead silence. More seriously, a large number of white people fled Detroit as a result, and the structure of urban residents has undergone a fundamental change. Today, more than 80 percent of the population is black. Serious racial rivalries and structural imbalances have made Detroit stagnant ever since. The politicians who run the city are also mostly black. Detroit has been ranked among the worst cities in the United States for many years. It finally declared bankruptcy in 2013, becoming the first largest city in American history to file for bankruptcy. The pattern of the movie is not big, and it chose to start with a police shooting of a civilian in a hotel during the riot. During the martial law period, the army was full of soldiers. In order to vent their hatred, the black youth even opened a toy starting gun to the garrison troops. This deliberate provocation led to death. There is a reason for the incident. The black and white races have been holding grudges for a long time. One side committed suicide, and the other took advantage of the situation to abuse, and eventually lost control and led to tragedy. Starting from the military police rushing into the hotel to search for the sniper shooter, and then extorting confessions from the crowd for nearly an hour, it was extremely embarrassing and creepy, and it was the biggest attraction. Especially Will Poulter (Will Poulter) who plays the white policeman, his domineering and humiliating appearance really makes people grit their teeth, and his acting skills are praised. The white military police treat a group of black people as dolls who wantonly play fraud, pretend to benefit the public, put personal feelings above the law, and show their obscenity. Intimidation and intimidation failed, and the angry police also shot and killed a black youth who was unwilling to lie. Since the jury was all white and the lawyers were eloquent, the massacre of the two bodies did not allow the white police to be punished by the law they deserved, causing an uproar. Social public opinion fermented rapidly, and the contradiction between black and white became increasingly acute, and the city began to turn from prosperity to decline. The nearly two-and-a-half-hour movie has a smooth rhythm, and all kinds of foreshadowing are matched in one go, and it doesn't seem to be long. Now the black issue has become the main theme of political correctness, but it has become a tiger's ass. This kind of subject matter is easy to be made into a blind crusade against white people. It is rare that director Catherine Bigelow does not have a one-sided tendency to black innocents. Romain Rolland said, "Good and evil are two sides of the same coin". The flowers of good and evil exist in the hearts of every character, and if there is a cause, there will be an effect. This is a social disease worth pondering.
