like

1. The clothing is excellent, and even the shirts worn by the shoe shiners who only appear once are worn out.

2. It truly reflects the discrimination against blacks in American society in the last century.

3. Samuel L. Jackson's acting is really fascinating.

Confuse

1. The film does not say much about Bernard's knowledgeable and aesthetic wife. What was her experience?

2. The black partner Joe was born in a wealthy black family. What was the driving force behind helping Bernard with real money? It would be too far-fetched if it was just "like the feeling of manipulation" mentioned in the film. In addition, while declaring that he did not trust anyone, he had unconditional trust in Bernard, even at the critical moment when the foreseeable future was going to be difficult. Bernard's reason? For the benefit of black people?

impression

Based on true events, it tells the inspiring story of how a black man made the leap through long-term unremitting efforts in a discriminated society. The story is a bit old-fashioned. On the one hand, it tells that the American dream can be achieved through hard work. On the other hand, under the severe suppression of the "system", the protagonist's efforts have been in vain. Although the equal housing bill was passed a few years later, the protagonist's The situation is really sad.

In the story, the protagonist made progress through hard work, and then got the help of nobles to complete the step. It is reflected in reality that if there is no help from nobles, it will be very difficult for him to succeed. Might make the audience feel that the story is far from themselves. In terms of performance, the characters created by the old drama bone Samuel Jackson are fascinating, but it seems that the characters are portrayed from an "omniscient perspective". After thinking about it, it is a bit unreal. In contrast, the protagonist's character is a little thin and not three-dimensional.
