One of the contradictions, if Jack is fake, why does Jack know and work with one-armed friend Biga at the beginning of the movie The live young boy Tess? What impression or story would this child have left on a rough slave owner six years ago. Because he's a friend's child? And he'd rather die than admit he's fake? But it can also be said that he did not kill him, there was another person, Townsend! The second contradiction, how could so many servants welcome the return of a rude slave owner? Of course, it is also possible that people have been looted by war, and they need a backbone and a spiritual pillar to restore production and restore prosperity, in order to live. But his wife Laura, although she appeared to be slightly happy, was also well-dressed. Is she also for life? In order to preserve her former status? But she can still bear hardships and stand hard work, and she can be hard and simple! The third contradiction, how could a bad-tempered bad guy tell others how he was and how his servants were back then, shouldn't it make others happy? It may be a little bit longer, but it will not be very detailed. The fourth contradiction, he pretended to be a person who looked like him (such a good condition), and did not distribute the land to others for his own selfish interests, but only for a destitute woman with children? He may have bigger plans to free blacks and break slavery. But how can people with such lofty aspirations give up life so easily! For the sake of the victory of the revolution, you have to insist on defending yourself that it was someone else Townsend who killed it!
I think Jack is real, he is the brutal slave owner back then, no one can forgive his past, no one believes that he can make a new life, then he is willing to use his death to prove himself, even if the farmers are willing to do it for their own benefit believe.
There are still many psychological contradictions in this movie, the inner contradiction of the protagonist (whether or not to reform and become a refined person, he has restrained his emotions), the inner contradiction of the heroine (whether or not to believe him), farmers and The inner contradiction of the servant (how to not hurt him and not hurt themselves, they cried), the inner contradiction of the director (whether such an ending can be accepted), the inner contradiction of the audience (whether it is true or not), everyone in the movie Knowing the protagonist's past, while the audience only knows the protagonist's present, this kind of contradiction in docking. It's a blur, hazy beauty!
