Fierce debate

This film gave me a lot of surprises, excellent lines, impassioned, tit-for-tat arguments. It also reflected the feelings of black people for the entire society in that era, and they shouted out their desire for freedom and equality. After the film is over, I believe that the most convincing is always the "truth" itself.
It’s a great feeling that the power of words is indeed powerful. Even the problem of race can be tested in this way. Even if I listened to English, I was very moved. Unexpectedly, it was the little fat man who finally debated with Harvard == and the one who seemed to be the most successful afterwards was also the little fat man. . . Most importantly, this is a true story!

    The film is a very ambitious work. Whether it is the passionate speech of Frist Whitaker in the opening, or the solemn and solemn scenes and soundtrack at the end, it shows that the director wants to make it into an excellent work. .

    The power of language. St. Augustine said: "Unfair laws are dead letters", which means that I have the right, even the duty, to resist...with violence or mild resistance, you should be glad I chose the latter.
