The first is racial discrimination. Even if Obama becomes president, will blacks and minorities really be able to integrate into the mainstream white society? I don’t think so. The drug cartel in the film has almost no white people, black people are the mainstream, murders, drug dealers, abducts and sells girls, and they do almost all evil. And when the young police mediate a conflict, both of whom happen to be people of color, the prejudiced police officer, enraged, shoots and kills the young black man. It's quite similar to the shooting in "Crash." A small conflict, but the distrust and discrimination between white people and people of color, and between different ethnic groups of people of color, are vividly displayed. Sal did the same at home playing cards with co-workers, because his wife was a person of color, and his police co-workers were humiliating enough to get into a fight. In the seemingly peaceful American society, those discrimination and conflicts have never disappeared. They have been deeply suppressed, but they are often triggered at a moment's notice.
The second is guns. In the film, guns have indeed become terrifying monsters. Whether just policemen or unjust criminals, use guns to kill people. In those gunfight scenes, the director deliberately strengthened the bloody scenes when they were shot and killed by guns. A momentary close-up of violence. presents us with a cruel world. Regardless of the background of the police shooting the citizens or the actual shooting and killing of black youths, there is also the fact that Sal used a gun to kill criminals at will, asking for stolen money, and finally Tango's revenge bullets and the manslaughter by Sal's colleagues. , It can be seen that a murder weapon is a murder weapon, no matter who is in the hands, it is not safe. Maybe a big living person who goes out in the morning and can't come back in the evening, shooting to death is no longer news in the United States. Thinking of the lawsuit in "The Runaway Jury", how to control the use of guns is perhaps the most important topic in American law and order. The Constitution entitles citizens to use guns for self-defense, but this often becomes a weapon of murder and social instability. the root of .
There is also bureaucratic corruption within the police organization. Why did Thrall go mad and go astray? In his own words, we are fighting to the death every day on the front line, but the stolen money that was seized went into the pockets of high-level executives and was used by them to decorate luxuriously. The office and expensive Persian rugs, but he can't even buy a slightly better house, only the death of the state compensation can lighten the family's burden slightly. The same is true for Tango. For the sake of his future and official position, the high-level officials do not hesitate to force him to engage in various activities, even endangering his life. In order to force Tang Ge into submission, it can be said that all kinds of tricks are used. Sometimes we also have to question, are those law enforcers who represent justice really as unselfish as propaganda? Maybe they are also sinful, and unlike those crazy drug dealers, they are better at disguise and more insidious.
This is a very realistic film that shows us a naked New York and even another side of the United States. It is not democratic and peaceful, but dark, sinful and ugly. The reality is cruel, and sometimes, we need some courage to face it.
