Quotations

Change is inevitable, it's just a matter of when and how. Detroit - the city of war. Look, this looks like damn Vietnam, can you believe it's in America? Many black shopkeepers write "Black Brothers" on their window panes to avoid the fate of being smashed, but vandals and robbers don't discriminate in this regard. How can you tell me to sing with peace of mind if I don't get involved in the struggle of the black brothers? We can't just shoot robbers. "Freedom" doesn't mean sleeping with someone without paying for it. If you're black, it's like having a gun in your face all the time. That's the expression they like to use, this set of "my street, my house, my car," as if they want whatever they want, they can take it straight from you. In hateful days, love becomes even more important, even the most important. They lost their minds when they saw two white girls in the same room with a black man. This is Detroit, and we're not going to scare it off. Are there any black people here? I didn't notice oh, I'm colorblind. When a black man gains a little power, other blacks alienate him. Don't let this one minute thing dictate your life. There is no justice at all here! The police should commit the same crime as the common people. Motown Records is a black-only company.

    no Zuo no Die. The middle part is fine.

    Anticlimactic. The false record showing the riots at the beginning is the climax of the whole story. It is wonderful and intense, with fake and real, and the design of the main line characters interspersed in the background is also particularly novel. The mid-stage focus on the hotel incident seemed quite satisfactory to Bigelow, who was good at creating tension. The ending is too hasty and warm. With the expectation of the big pattern at the beginning, the second half of the movie feels seriously out of touch in strength and depth.
