Judas and the Black Messiah is a decent historical film and could be better.
The film cuts into a piece of history of the Black Panther Party from the conflicting character "Judas", as subtle as surgery. "Judas" is a believer and a traitor. The mining rate of this bonanza is at most 30%. The topsoil of Erwuzai will only be turbulent, which will suppress the layers of human nature, and it is very unusual to turn away from the struggle to break out of the ground. Perhaps, in the limited space, the director pursues the symmetry of the structure. With "Judas", "Messiah" should be at least equal. In fact, "Judah" is only a secret path leading to a piece of history, and "Messiah" is the backbone of this history.
"Black Messiah" compendium. He was awe-inspiring and distanced. Add a few blemishes to him, perhaps, to make people feel kind. The prototype of "Black Messiah" is a young man in his early twenties. What do most men look like in their twenties? Hairy guy. No matter how talented you are, it's always a bit vulgar, isn't it? It seems that he is born with the appearance of a great mentor and trainee from beginning to end. Although he raises his arms and shouts with emotion, the characters are also symbolic.
It is no wonder that the "Black Messiah" is not only a reappearing historical figure, but also a representation of the Black Panther Party.
The Black Panther Party, praised by ancient history textbooks and advocating armed struggle, is truly revolutionary, much more real than Dr. Kim who died at gunpoint.
However, the Black Panther Party reflected in "Judah and the Black Messiah" neither rebelled nor divided, and their gun-wielding behavior seems to be within the framework of the Second Amendment. They also do many things to build a peaceful society, set up education and medical care. The "Black Messiah" is more like a self-sacrificing saint than a fighter.
Is the Black Panther Party a Saints organization? Hard to say. The film also exposed a little of their dark side, such as the massacre of traitors. The "dark side" is still less exposed, more exposed, making the "Black Messiah" a pun, both black and dark. In this way, it may be possible to answer the question, how did the Black Panther Party go silent? Is it just because the enemy is strong, fierce and cunning?
It is a rare drama about the Black Panther Party, but I hope it can explain the Black Panther Party more thoroughly.
