First of all, purely from the evaluation of the film itself, 5 stars to 3 stars, 10 points to 6.5 points. Director Paul Greenglass is good at partial documentary films. But "contemporaneous" I think is also an indicator to consider any art work, you can add 1-2 points. The film tells a fact relatively neutrally.
But I want to stress that the movie is not a fact, the movie is made. The fact that you see is the fact that the director gave you.
So let's ask a few whys.
Why did this shooting happen?
Why did the director make such a movie?
Why are we discussing these?
Why did this shooting happen? First, not for fun, not pure evil. Officials say it is the most personal homicide since World War II. What is his purpose then? Does he truly represent his or his group's interests? Or is it just being used by other groups? I don't study history and politics. If you have some insights, please let me know.
Why did the director make such a movie? The ass decides the head. Another point, as can be clearly seen from the recent Oscar-winning films, is that there is a kind of "political correctness" in the United States, race and feminism, although these two issues are not on the same level. The ultimate in art has two directions, pure art, and art of thought, and this film is neither. The former did not make the best use of the art of film, and obviously the director had the ability to do better; the latter film did not express a strong personal point of view.
Why are we discussing these? Of course, after all, some people will say "we won't", that is a free choice, and I also recommend that you don't expand this issue and waste your energy on unnecessary things at present. Any accommodating or absorbing is a matter behind.
Has the world changed for the better?
One thing I would like to remind is: don’t equate social development with the improvement of people’s living standards, don’t be deceived by the reference given, see relative improvement, and don’t play games with those who set the rules of the game. The United States, the richest and most advanced capitalist country in the world, still has a large gap between the rich and the poor. Including some other capitalist countries. How did their primitive accumulation come about? How are the cyclical crises of capitalism mitigated?
Market economy and planned economy are just a means, a means to better develop productive forces, and cannot be equated with any social form.
How are you from the big city? How are you from the small town? Are both material and spiritual as rich?
Do you have your own will? The will not to be manipulated by the outside world? Are you able to exercise your will without being bound?
Did you slay a dragon and then become a dragon too?
I miss Comrade Marx.
