idealists don't die

Great story, and loved it beyond expectations. Discrimination and prejudice, race, gender… it seems like America’s story, but it’s everyone’s story.

Bernard, played by AM, is bold, stubborn, has a keen financial sense, and a genius mind. Because of these characteristics, he challenges his destiny, not only his own destiny - as the politician in the play said: he has achieved the goal of belonging to Personal American Dream. It's just that his idealism wishes he could do more for it. Samuel's Joe is a man who understands the reality but is still willing to pay for Bernard's innocence, for the pervasive discrimination that has been tacitly accepted, for his fellow countrymen who step into what he knows is bound to fail. plan. That's why I love this movie, Bernard, Joe, Eunice: idealists rebelling against their destiny. And there are real stories adapted to write the most realistic footnotes for this idealistic and cruel story-there are indeed a group of people who fought against an unfair fate and splashed water in the long river of history. Really romantic.

Rebellion against fate is inseparable from "discrimination", and the whole story also reveals the most real and most detailed discrimination against black people in daily bits and pieces. When I was a teenager, I could only eavesdrop on white people doing financial business, black people doing real estate or banking are all idiots, neighbors complained about black people, police officers didn't trust Bernard to buy real estate - and Bernard did it just in case. Okay, a copy of the title deed even more so he's faced/knows how profound this stereotype is, separate drinking water in Texas, white people's suspicion of banks' distrust when they lend money to black people, and Matt's wife who thinks Bernard and Joe don't at all. Won't be smarter than Matt - because they're black...and the opposite is their resistance to these discrimination, Bernard breaks the stereotype that black people can't play white people to make money and become a genius banker, Joe loves to see / The fruits of helping fellow countrymen, the Irish businessman with whom Bernard finally has faith and ability, Matt can still admire and respect the intellect and character of Bernard and Joe...

The whole theme of defiance, the tight, thrilling adventure and ambition set against the backdrop of discrimination, and the fun day-to-day nurturing Matt and cosplaying make the story exciting. At the same time, the characterization is also very good, Bernard and Joe briefly mentioned above, but I want to talk about Eunice, Bernard's wife. The deep affection and mutual support between the couple is touching, but she is far richer than the label of wife. She has a unique insight: whether it is believing that Bernard has the talent and consciousness that can break fate or knowing Joe's surface Play boy Get the real him. In the subversive big deception, she is a very important member. The professor of dining etiquette cannot do without her. To supervise Matt, she puts on cleaning clothes, but she does not easily fool the cleaning work - she always does what she does. most. I think the most ingenious part is when Bernard was reluctant to put on his cleaning clothes at a critical moment and said to Eunice, who said he also put on cleaning clothes for him, "It's different, you are a woman." Prejudice and discrimination. Eunice replied angrily at the time that if you said that, how would it be different from those who discriminate against black people because of their skin color. This is very real and clever, and Eunice clearly believes that skin color should not be discriminated against just as gender should not create inequality. This is really surprising, the pursuit of equal rights is the same.

When Bernard first met Joe, he thought he was just a playboy, and when Joe first met Bernard, he thought he was a dumb idiot, but the two of them did a feat that could be said to be shocking in the context of the time. One is deeply aware of how heavy discrimination is but insensitive to politics, and the other is rich in experience and knows that this is a social movement, but they still do it. On the day of the trial, the arguments were enthusiastic, but the bad guy achieved the goal of recovering the bank, and the two were still imprisoned... This is the reality, and their deeds have inspired many black compatriots who thought they were really not good at first. Unknown, the new promulgation How much has the law to promote fairness affected by this shocking case? This is probably why I always love idealists.
