This film is utterly helpless!
In the end, the riot was just a small-scale city hall demonstration, but it did not achieve the desired result and was violently driven by the police. The result is nothing.
Some people think that such an ending is a hasty ending, justice has not been served, and that the film does not give a satisfactory ending. Actually, you are wrong!
First of all, it is necessary to understand that the community in the film is a place with high crime rate, drugs are rampant, and drug dealers can threaten the lives of residents. Therefore, the police have a stereotype of black people in this community - every black person can be a drug dealer, and every black person can be a criminal.
Second, understand that the jury is clearly underrepresented against black jury members, and is racially discriminatory against blacks, and the result, of course, is not to prosecute white police officers.
Furthermore, even if the black people demonstrate, it is bound to fail to achieve the desired result, because the white people control the judiciary, and the fact that the local crime rate is high cannot be changed, and the inertia of this concept is difficult to change.
In fact, this movie is just showing the whole process of a racially discriminated police shooting of innocent black people, which led to black people's demands for a fair trial case and the whole process of a demonstration that entrusted black people with their due rights. The root cause of this incident is racial discrimination and the lack of good employment in the community.
Black people don't have enough employment. Drug trafficking is a good way to make money to survive, but many black people are not willing to do this kind of thing. The heroine's father was imprisoned for drug trafficking before, but he was very aware of the dangers of drug trafficking, so he raised his children like that and tried to be a good example.
From the perspective of the heroine, it is the racial discrimination of the white police and even the white society, and the unfair and even brutal treatment of blacks has given hatred to the younger generation of blacks. The heroine's younger brother finally took up the gun and aimed at the person who hurt his father, which is the evil result of racial discrimination. Why do children hold guns? Because he felt unfair, he wanted to protect his loved ones.
The heroine rebelled for her friend and raised her arms. Although I didn't get the results I wanted, at least I had a clear conscience.
It is worth saying that the heroine's family is trying to get their children to go to good schools, and the middle-class whites are grouped together, which is also a manifestation of trying to get a better class life. Fortunately, her boyfriend and many classmates did not exclude blacks, which shows that the school is more tolerant of blacks. The film is set in the 21st century, which shows that racism is not as serious as it used to be, but the problem of racial discrimination in some black communities is still serious. That's what this movie is going to show.
If black people want to be treated fairly by white police, black people must obtain it in a reasonable way. At least they must behave in a safe manner to make the police trust you. When the police point a gun at you, you must at least raise your hand and cooperate.
This film is methodical, and it portrays the heroine's psychological changes in a delicate and precise manner. It is a good film.
Don't watch this movie from the perspective of asking the movie to solve social problems, because the problem is not solved at all! The problem is complicated! Very serious!

Replenish:
Explain any points in the film that may cause confusion
1. Some people think that the police always come too soon.
It's not that they came in time, but that the local police are very "concerned" about this community. In addition, the police have performance appraisals. The more criminals they arrest, the more likely they will escalate.
2. Some people think that the values conveyed at the end are too deliberate and too politically correct.
NO! At the end, the female protagonist was expelled after the riot. She had lost the will to resist the local racial discrimination, and she also had a different way to deal with it. Because of the inherent prejudice of the local police, it was useless to pass the parade, but hatred cannot be used. Continue to be strengthened. You should stand up bravely before the guns of the police and express your willingness to cooperate. Please stop being nervous and shoot at will to kill black people who have personal rights.
In fact, this is also kind of helpless!
This film shows the bad influence of racial discrimination on the younger generation through the perspective of middle school students. It is relatively novel and in place, and the film is not cynical, but gives the heroine a more peaceful and tolerant mentality at the end. This is the heroine's Growth is also the sublimation of the film!
3. Chinese people do not understand and misunderstand racial discrimination in the United States
Some people are indifferent to the racism in the film, arguing that the black reaction to the shooting of an innocent black man by a white police officer was too violent and emotional.
I'm sorry, if you think about the examples around us, you don't think so. It is very common for locals to exclude foreigners. As long as the accent is not local, it will be discriminated against by locals. Hillbillies are always discriminated against by city folks. Among your peers, if you are short, you will be easily bullied and discriminated against. Black people have dark skin and different customs and habits from white people, so they are easy to be discriminated against. And some black people do have body odor, which white people don't like. In addition, black people have a history of being enslaved, which makes white people discriminate even more. Just as we discriminate against people who were thin and thin when they were young, many people will discriminate against them, even their children, even if they grow up now.
When a black man gets into the car, the police will say "Don't move, I'm going to shoot", and when a white person gets into the car, the police will say "raise your hand", the difference is: the police are likely to directly attack the black man Shoot, don't give black people a chance to turn around.
If you don't think human life is worth the outrage of the black community, then there's not much to say.
