Today, I would like to share with you an American movie "White Dog". The director of this film, Fuller, is known as "American B-movie, film noir, independent film - the godfather of the third line". The thriller "White Dog" is absolutely amazing. You have a different experience.

Fuller's films have always exuded a rough, raw, direct and minimal temperament.

"White Dog" is no exception. At the beginning of the film, Julie, the heroine, drove into a white dog at night, which was a white German shepherd.

Julie took the white dog to the pet hospital for treatment. Fortunately, the white dog was not life-threatening. Julie took the white dog home temporarily, and has been putting up claim posters.

In the middle of the night, a thief entered Julie's house to steal. Julie and the thief met head-on. At the critical moment, the white dog rushed to the thief, causing the thief to fall to the ground and unable to move.

Julie is very grateful to the white dog for saving her life. She decides to treat the white dog well, and their relationship is getting better and better.

One night, the white dog ran out. It saw the black driver who was driving the cleaning car. It jumped into the car, and then bit the black driver. The cleaning car also rushed to a nearby store.

The white dog jumped down and went home.

When Julie saw the white dog covered in human blood, she just thought that the white dog had fought with other dogs.

But when Jolie was performing with a black actress on the set of the movie, she was shocked when the white dog suddenly pounced on the black actress and bit her.

Julie also learned from this that white dogs were domesticated by racists, causing white dogs to only attack blacks.

Seeing this, you probably know where the beauty of this movie is. In a film that wants to express racial discrimination, the protagonist is actually a dog, which can not help but shine.

The white dog does not have as many ideas as human beings. There are only black and white in its world, and it will never have the concept of racial discrimination. And the people who tame it can be filthy, turning a pure dog into a tool of his discrimination, which is embarrassing.

Julie is reluctant to give up the white dog, after all, it is also her own savior. She brought the white dog to a professional trainer, hoping to domesticate the white dog into a harmless dog.

The animal trainer, Charlie, happened to be a black man. He told Julie: More than a hundred years ago, people domesticated dogs to chase and attack black people, and let the black people whip the dogs when they were young. attack black people.

Sounds a little weird, doesn't it? Unexpectedly, some people in the world have domesticated dogs as tools to vent their racism, and cute puppies have turned into black demons.

Benign domesticated animals can help human beings in many ways, such as police dogs, guide dogs, cattle in ploughing fields, etc. They are all good helpers in human life.

But there are also many white dogs that have been viciously domesticated in the film. They are used by people with ulterior motives to satisfy their own selfish desires, and those people use the trust of animals.

Whether animals are to be tamed by humans is a long-debated question.

People have racism and class discrimination, and pet dogs are also labeled as precious, purebred, beautiful, etc. for the benefit of people. Is this trend really good?

In the second half of the film, Charlie's daily training of white dogs is emphasized. Charlie wears heavy protective clothing to let the white dogs bite, so as to increase the white dog's powerlessness to attack blacks.

Charlie feeds the white dog with his own hands, and the white dog's subconscious also begins to change, thinking that black people are not so scary.

The horror of this film is that the audience does not know whether the white dog will suddenly show a hideous face in the next second and rush to bite people.

There is uncertainty in such training, and no one is sure whether the white dog will change completely in the end.

One night, the white dog escaped and killed a black man in a church.

Everyone was desperate when Charlie and Julie arrived.

In the holy church, the tools of racial discrimination are so used against the discriminated people, which sounds a little absurd.

Julie decided to give up the white dog and wanted to destroy the white dog humanely.

But Charlie felt that the domestication schedule should be carried through to the end, and if the white dog was consistent, then it would be finished.

At this time, the original owner of the white dog came to the door, it was a white uncle and his two little granddaughters.

Julie saw the kind-hearted white uncle and didn't believe that he domesticated the white dog, but it was true.

The uncle is also proud of the white dog he has bred since childhood, and his family education is also very repulsive and hates blacks. It is not difficult to imagine that his two young granddaughters must be firm racists in the future.

Some people look neatly dressed and very kind, but you don't know what kind of devil lives in his heart.

At the end of the film, the last day of the white dog's domestication arrives, and Charlie, Julie and the farm owner are there to witness the results of Charlie's training.

The white dog without any leash dashed to the field. Of the three people present, only Charlie was black, and Charlie was also very nervous.

The white dog did not attack Charlie and Julie. When everyone was about to breathe a sigh of relief, the white dog rushed towards the owner of the animal farm. Just as he was biting him, Charlie took out his gun and ended the white dog's life.

It is worth mentioning that the owner of the animal farm is quite similar in appearance to the original owner of the white dog.

The film ended, and the editor also felt a lot.

Every wounding incident caused by the white dog and its own death in the end should be attributed to its original owner. Of course, the original owner is also a representative of a group of racist forces.

In the end, the white dog did not attack the black man, but turned to attack the white man. You can also think about this.

As the name of the film, "White Dog" also has two meanings in the editor's understanding. One refers to the white dog in the film, and the other refers to the racist lunatic in the United States who does evil things with faith, even for this reason. pride.

The white dog is the victim of racial discrimination, it is almost impossible to domesticate, it is like an incurable disease.

The white dog has not been cured, this is the doomed ending, and so are those people in reality.

Today's sharing ends here! Originality is not easy, I hope you can give Xiaobian a like and encourage it~
