Black or not

In addition to Black Power, Spike Lee’s movie is Black Power, and it must be susceptible to release this movie at this time. The whole movie is 155 minutes long, but a lot of long and useless content accounted for more than half. Haw tried to cover a historical period. Even a 30-hour documentary does not necessarily describe the situation of black soldiers during the Vietnam War. The social impact of the two countries is complete. After 90 minutes of the movie, it must be the ability to watch.

It can not be said that Spike Lee is not talented. The flashback photos and the zoomed-in shots are beautiful and playful. Many useful but useless tribute stalks. But as far as the movie is concerned, it is too confusing and long-winded. The band he mapped is also worrying for the movie itself. There is no head to discuss the matter of black power. Nowadays, black people in the United States beating, smashing, looting and burning are very bad, but given the oppression and treatment of black people all the time, it cannot be said that all are wrong. The United States has worked hard for racial integration for so many years, and this is still the result. The government and the system did not give black people any fairness and opportunities. 80% of the police are white and 90% of the top are white. So what is fairness to talk about. Leftist black power can only break the shackles, smash, rob and burn to deconstruct and rebuild the social system. Because he has no other way.

I personally feel that Spike Lee’s films are destined not to become a classic in film history, and he can only represent a small period of social and racial issues. Just imagine, if the racial problem can never be properly resolved, is it just a matter of smashing, smashing, looting and burning? No matter how the movie is used to discuss and create issues, it is only scratching the surface, better than nothing. It is impossible to make achievements on the social level and art history level.

    Disappointed. Perhaps its only advantage is that it used past racial issues and events in the first 80 minutes to comment on today’s society, but even this only advantage was obtained at the expense of the rhythm of the film. The production was so crude that it was beyond my imagination. The crew was too lazy to even change the makeup for the actors. It is hard to imagine that the characters in the flashback are exactly the same as they are today.

    In combination with the current situation, there is a line that is quite relevant. "you Americans are incredibly uninformed" There are a few songs in it that are pretty good

Da 5 Bloods quotes

  • Hanoi Hannah: In Memphis, Tennessee, a White Man assassinated Dr. Martin Luther King who heroically opposed the cruel racial discrimination in the USA. Dr. King also opposed the US War in Vietnam. Your government sent six hundred thousand troops to crush the rebellion. Your soul sisters and soul brothers are enraged in over one hundred and twenty-two cities. They kill them while you fight against us so far away from where you are needed. The South Vietnamese people are resolute against these fascist acts against Negroes who struggle for civil rights and freedom. Negroes are only 11 percent of the US Population but among troops here in Vietnam you are thirty-two percent. Is it fair you serve more than the white Americans that sent you here! Nothing is more confused than to be ordered into a war to die or to be maimed for life without the faintest idea of what's going on. I dedicate brother Marvin Gaye'"What's Going On" to the soul brothers of the 1st Infantry Division. Big Red One, 2nd Battalion 136th Regiment.
