heavy hope

I never thought that so much suffering permeates a word. The meaning of the word itself is neutral, but man-made turmoil has stained a word with so much blood. The struggle is not tears, it is the humiliation of generations. , The misfortune of several generations, the struggle of several generations, who said that all living beings are equal? Who says people are not equal, if they are not equal, then what is the point of the efforts of those fighters. The father and son in the movie are fighting in different ways. It seems that the father is submissive, but as a father, he can neither transcend the limitations of his own identity and thoughts. , just a little more pessimistic, just like Martin Luther King said, they use their labor and trust to gain the respect of the white world, and the change of the path chosen by the son can see the choices made by black Americans on the road to fighting for rights, At the beginning, the non-resistance movement was just like what Gandhi did in India, but at that time, it was undoubtedly a failure, and it would not work if Martin Luther King did not occupy it peacefully. Peaceful means will bleed if you encounter robbery politics, to mafia-like revenge, to resolution from judicial bills, like experiencing darkness, layers of black engulfing, when you can't see the light , a trace of dark light will be in tomorrow. Hope the word COLOUR is just a word to describe color
