As far as the plot is concerned, there are quite a few flaws. The director wants to express the line - from silence, to resistance, to peace, the three-act drama hone the routine of the protagonist. but in the middle
1. Political correctness that is overkill. Starr's white friends and black cop Uncle have expressed it, and it's a complicated issue. The police are also there to protect themselves, and the black community is indeed more dangerous, and this reverse point of view comes out well. But the protagonist, as the main displayer of values, actually fell out with them completely. Is it for the sake of political correctness? It's intolerable to overcorrect and make people feel a little uncomfortable.
2. The ending didn't hold up. Although the meaning of Kaseni and Thuglife is good, it is like a dispensable stalk buried for two hours just for this second, which is too deliberate. In the end, it was a coincidence that the police arrived "just in time". The police came by coincidence every time. Starr stood in front of the gun because he didn't want his younger brother to kill people, didn't want the police to shoot at his family, and didn't want to cause chaos. It is not enough to express the restraint and awakening of "hatred" as an ending.
Of course, the film still has many advantages.
1. The heroine's appearance is arrogant, and she shines every time she smiles. Cool dirty braids, tied at the back of the head, split a few on the other side, and then wear a Hoodie, so handsome. No wonder both boyfriends are handsome and drive luxury cars (although this is also a slot.)
2. The plot rendering skills are really good. The moment Khalil died, the tears came straight down. It was only ten minutes after the movie started. It was the fastest movie this year. There is a strong sense of substitution in all the places where tears can be shed in the whole article. If the purpose of this movie is to let everyone experience empathy with black people and to promote the elimination of racial discrimination, it is really perfect.
3. Song. The lyrics, style, and appearance of each song are all wonderful. The attitude of DNA at the beginning, the strangeness of Everyone in the school parade, 2pac that Khalil likes, Trap that Chris likes, etc. Every scene and person is broadened by these songs, and they all sound very good.
4. I like two lines very much.
A sentence comes from my father: "Reasons to live, Give reasons to die." "Why live is why you die." In the context of black people's struggle for rights, it not only has a romantic philosophical meaning, but also the blood of a strong man breaking his wrist.
A quote from Starr - Father said: "Girls usually go with boy who look like their daddy, Guess I ain't set a good example of a black man for you." , it seems I'm not a good black man role model." Starr replied: "No, You Didn't. You set a good Example of what a man should be." "Yeah, you're not. But you're a good A role model for men." The white-hater father was also a racist. Deliberately distinguishing races when there is no need to distinguish them is racial discrimination. My daughter sees this clearly, in one sentence.
5. Black people have a history of being oppressed for hundreds of years. This is a very long span. In retrospect, the representative film and television works are generally "12 Years a Slave" and "Django Unchained" that reflect the slavery period. . But now that Hiphop culture has become mainstream, the world has long been more magical. While everyone worships and consumes the culture of black people, they deeply believe that black people are of low quality and dangerous. This moment really needs such a film that reflects the cultural dilemma encountered by black people during this period.
