The speech of "Black Jesus" also made me feel immersed through the screen.

Unexpectedly good looking. A story of Jesus and Judas in the Black Panther Party.

The rhythm is tight, the plot is complete and rich, and the most exciting is the performance of the two black protagonists, especially Hampton, who symbolizes Jesus, and is full of personal charm.

He has clear goals and a big-picture view. In his speeches, he was extremely provocative and contagious, passionate, direct, sharp and sincere. Lobbying other gangs to join the cooperation is also straight to the point. In private, his feelings are so shy and delicate, full of humanistic care, he cares about the future of the disadvantaged, and the experience of the organizers... and he is not the kind of person who can only talk on paper and talk freely.

As for the undercover O'Neal, who symbolizes Judas, of course we can easily point and gnash his teeth, but his body and mind are always between black and white. He just lived "people do not die for themselves". He's just not Jesus.
