    In fact, there are many angles, black people are not necessarily weak

    Written and directed by Ryan Coogler, he presented the Fruitvale subway station incident in San Francisco with a surprisingly calm and objective perspective, and worked hard to restore the last 24 hours of the life of the black youth Oscar Grant. The director took the size just right, neither deliberately sensationalizing to beautify Oscar’s image, nor to vilify the police’s accusation that justice was delayed, everything was left to the viewers to judge, silence was better than sound, we felt so unanimously at the moment the gun fired. Shock and sadness
