Complexion curse

Race disputes have long passed. In this peaceful era, everything seems to be normal. Democracy and freedom seem to fill the entire United States, and people seem to live and work in peace. But in fact, the curse of discrimination has not been completely solved. Some people are still full of ethnic cleanliness in their hearts. Some of this cleanliness is natural, and some are left over from history.
There are many feature films that reflect white discrimination against black people in the United States, but this film unexpectedly shows a black person’s discrimination and hatred against white people. Of course, this hatred is a sentiment with historical heritage, and it is also mixed with his wife betraying him. anger. The black protagonist’s wife died with his white boss in a car accident. The protagonist found his wife cheating with the white boss while he was hurt. There was nowhere to release this anger, and it was so deeply buried in his heart that he saw the white man. There will be an inexplicable hostility. One day many years later, the neighbor moved in a couple. They were both the white husband and the black wife. They also stabbed the black protagonist’s heart for a long time. The neighbors and the couple also felt this man’s weirdness, but because It was a policeman, so I didn’t worry too much, but the seeds of crime finally sprouted in the constant hostility, so that the black policeman knew the law to break the law, instructed the street prodigal to make a fire for himself, but unexpectedly made a mess, he was afraid that the matter would be revealed. Killed the white accomplice without blinking. But the evil eventually paid off, and in the end the neighbor found evidence of his plotting, and died in the final struggle of the game. Although the story is over, people are relieved, but in retrospect the experience of the black protagonist still feels sour. Although it does not shed tears, it cannot be calm. The scars of racial discrimination still exist in people's hearts. We are just pretending to be moral. I may never be healed from the heart, maybe this is the weakness of human nature.
The story of the film has three lines, one is the development of the conflict between the black and white neighbors, the other is the spread of the surrounding fires, and the other is the continuous maintenance of the relationship between the black and white couples of the neighbors. , Interacting and stimulating each other, making the plot more entangled in the heart, and the most powerful part of this film is that it will make you think for a long time after watching it, why we have racial differences that cause us to dislike each other, and why our hearts are so small , Can’t hold even one color. Recently, just in time for the death of Mandola, he struggled for his skin color for a long time. Although there has been a great improvement, in fact, there is such a difference in our hearts. How can we be equal? Or will there be no equality in this world?
