Everyone knows that in the 17th century, the Native American Indians under British colonial rule and the slaves who were trafficked from Africa lived a miserable life.
Although black Americans in the 1960s and 1970s made the efforts of various civil rights movements to eliminate racial discrimination in the United States, and legally gave blacks equal status and equal voting rights with other ethnic groups, but in living conditions It is still unequal in the world, resulting in a very difficult situation for blacks in American society.
We have to admit that racial discrimination in the United States still exists due to the inferiority of the theory of racial superiority in concept. Since the 1980s, racial discrimination in the United States has intensified.
Beginning in 1981, Ronald Reagan was the president of the United States. After he took office, he made a series of adjustments to black policies such as budget cuts, which caused a lot of economic blow to black people. Few people dare to openly discriminate against black people in American society, but the discrimination in behavior is obvious enough.
This 1982 film is a product of that period.
What this film expresses on the surface is nothing more than the blind racial self-worship of racists, extreme values, the selfishness of human nature hidden under the surface of hypocrisy, ugly, self-righteous, vain attempt to distort nature, and white dogs corrupted by deep-rooted sins A final blow to humanity.
These are obvious.
But about one scene in the church in the play, the only one that stuck in my head was the image of Jesus and the white dog at his feet.
When the white dog killed the black man in the church, the camera switched to the stained glass statue of Jesus on the top of the church. There were crows and doves of peace among the birds standing on Jesus' open arms, antelopes stood at his feet, and the white dog and cranes, with two eagles flying behind them. The white dog who had just killed the black man with blood in his mouth raised his head and glanced at it knowingly.
I always believed that it was the director's intention. Even religion is involved.
Why did black men run into the church to seek shelter but the church was empty, causing the only black death in the film, is it God's indulgence or warning?
BTW, attach the biblical meaning of the animals on the church glass:
In the biblical Genesis, the crow is an unclean bird that feeds on rotting corpses, and when Noah let it out from the ark, the ground was full of The corpse was enough to meet its needs, so it stayed outside.
After the crow, the dove was released, and the dove was a clean bird, and it wanted clean food, so the dove flew back to the ark with a freshly twisted olive leaf in its mouth.
The Bible has always portrayed sheep as human beings. Both are weak, easily lost, and lost. Basically, they both like to live in groups and cannot take care of themselves or find a way back home.
The earliest Jews were proud that they were the chosen people of God. They looked down on other nations and often called Gentiles dogs. The Old Testament also despised and hated dogs. For example, in the book of Philemon, there is a "dog" that refers to foreign Jews who disturb the peace of the church.
The eagle is often used in the Bible as a metaphor for a man of power who is dedicated to following God.
