The banker, filmed based on real deeds, is even more refreshing to watch! (But after shooting, only the front two-thirds have this feeling). At that time, black professional shoe shiners, drivers, cleaners, etc., had obvious occupational restrictions. Bernard was also a shoe shiner when he was a child, but he would eavesdrop on how white people do business, and he was determined to make money like white people. shoe). In the film, Bernard teamed up with Joe (this role is too humorous!), two black people found a white Matt as the front door, joined forces to start real estate, and bought one big bank after another. It's really cool to see them make money. arrive. The experienced Joe sees that society clearly. He doesn't trust whites and blacks, but he enjoys the process of dealing with people, which is very interesting. He saw Bernard's intelligence, ambition, and deep anger. He said, "This is not a good idea," and finally supported him to go back to his hometown to buy a bank, which was a turning point. Probably starting from Bernard's surrender to "wearing a driver's hat" and "wearing a cleaner's clothes" again and again after returning to his hometown. In his hometown where racial discrimination is too severe, he cannot win the fight. "It turns out that you are an uncompromising revolutionary." When it comes to confrontation, the lines are better than the filming, and the feeling of confrontation is really not well filmed. In the end, he hastily explained the changes in the residence policy and occupational policy brought about by the two black people (I feel that the part of Matt's hometown has become the protagonist after returning to him, and several people are all around him, but the important part has not been filmed well). Racial discrimination is a history that will be very depressing to read, but in the end, we can win, and we should not forget the process. Father to Bernard "Child, you were born of the wrong color." Bernard to Matt (white): "You represent us to the world"
