If I sum up my experience in one sentence, maybe what I want to say is: It's necessary to do a revolution, even though it won't work.
From the beginning of the film, the background at that time is clearly explained. It clearly shows the character and image of the male protagonist, a black man with business talent.
The story begins in Texas, a region that is heavily discriminated against blacks. The male protagonist came to Las Vegas in order to develop his career.
There, he made his first pot of gold by cooperating with white people to buy, sell, decorate and rent houses. But while he was in high spirits, the sudden death of his white partner led him to be threatened by his partner's wife, who wanted to buy his shares at a super low price. Since he was black and no one helped him, there was no proof that half of those rooms belonged to him.
After finding nowhere for help, he decided to buy the bank's building and turn from a game participant into a game maker. But as a black man, you can't do this, and you find a white man to trade, even if this white man can't do anything~
The film has always told about the difficulty of the black male protagonist from the side, despite his outstanding ability and decent language, there is no way, just because of the black colcour.
The reality didn't bring him down, they made a lot of money through the facade. Back home in Texas at this time.
The real transformation of the male protagonist starts from here. He begins to challenge the public system and the status of white people.
I think what moved me the most was the dialogue between the two black people about buying a bank. Buy it, knowing that it must be a "wrong" decision. How do you know if you don't try?
The pain of black people comes from unfair treatment. If they can't take out loans, they don't have enough money to buy a house and rent a house to do business. If they don't have starting capital, they can't improve their lives.
Black restaurants get graffiti, black people don't deserve to have their shoes washed, and black people can't go into banks. . . Even if the male protagonist's bank has always belonged to him, it doesn't help, the bank is not a root cause.
In the end, what the male protagonist said in court was the most shocking to me. He knew that if he said something he shouldn't have said, it would definitely not end well.
but! That's it, Faith! People always have ideals and goals in life, say what they want to say, stick to themselves, be fair and just, and strive for their ideals.
Maybe fail, but don't regret it.
