A good play about racism

In the low-profile version of "Master Key", the heroine's transformation seems too blunt. The foreshadowing in the early stage was a little longer, and the ending seemed a bit sloppy. There are also some problems with the logic of the film. Like "Master Key", I want to use other people's bodies to prolong my life, but I don't understand why I have to choose black people. In the film, it is explained that the physical fitness of black people is more advantageous. In order to emphasize that the physical fitness of black people is more excellent, the director specially found a bunch of old men and old ladies to compare with him. This deliberate feeling is too obvious. And borrowing a black body to survive in a racist white world is obviously not a good choice. Perhaps the black director wanted to use this theme to satirize the hypocrisy of white people.

However, there are also a lot of brilliant places. From the beginning, the film creates a weird atmosphere, and this weird atmosphere has been pressing the nerves of the audience. And the use of such stories to tell racism is really clever. Not as heavy, but impressive.
