Several protagonists are very brilliant

At the beginning, I felt that the performances of several leading actors were a bit "hard", and slowly I thought that when the leading actors met in "formal" occasions in the background of that era, everyone's psychology was indeed not "natural", and the experience environment decided Heart-to-heart communication is hard to do. It's a slow-moving movie, and it's boring to watch as a war movie. In my opinion, the film is not about a great battle but a civil war in the hearts of people.

The emotion of the protagonist, Captain Shaw, has been surging under the shy and even cowardly face of his thin body. He was a man of pure dreams but unconfident, and he didn't even show much heroism until the moment when his life burned to the brightest, but he certainly became a hero. It's true that the fearless is that a warrior is not necessarily a hero. The image of Matthew Broderick Xiaoshou fits the protagonist very well, but several black protagonists are very powerful and steal the limelight of many protagonists. In particular, the two leading black actors are very interesting in this film. Someone asked Denzel Washington, a fugitive slave, what did you do when you ran out. He replied with a cold joke, "I went to run for president, but I didn't get elected." If I watched this film two years earlier, it would definitely not be as interesting as it is today.

The characters of Denzel and Morgan represent confusion and determination, respectively. Morgan has been a believer from the beginning, fighting for his family name FREEMAN for himself and for his family. Likewise, his emotions were suppressed until he returned to the land from which he fled, from which we fled yesterday, and today I return to this land to free him. And Denzel is confused, life is a flight, no family and no friends, what is freedom after only? He doesn't know. Therefore, before the final battle, his speech was simple but the most moving. The other two black characters prefer the smiling man (the sharpshooter), whose long smile reveals simplicity and optimism. And the protagonist's childhood is not an easy-going character. He is enthusiastic but does not understand war at first. Many times it is not others discriminating against you, it is you who thinks that you are special, which is the result of lack of self-confidence and distrust. This Denzel's role is more obvious, until Morgan says there is only one nigger here.

Uh, I left out another white protagonist, a guy who doesn't have a strong sense of existence but is very likable, and plays a role in filling the gap, such as the conflict between the protagonist and the "property" black, their common childhood playmate Footnotes to the scene.
