African-Americans, Solomon is a free man, but has economic value in the slave market, and a dark skin has economic value. Who makes the economic and technological development of black people lag behind Westerners, such a contrast and the expansion of capital, The strong-eating side of human nature is revealed, so white people think they are higher creatures, just like a dialogue in the film:
"Is there a difference between white people and black people?"
"Is there a difference between white people and baboons?"
It is a narrow race to treat black people as baboons ideology, or blacks cannot compete with whites.
During World War II, Jews were also obligatory.
In the slave owner's cotton garden, the blacks were also obliging.
Even if they sing and dance, they are expressionless, helpless and bitter.
Pretty black girls pats from hopeful weaving villains in cotton fields, to being indoctrinated with the idea of being "loved by their masters and pretending to enjoy in order to be served and shunned labor" to being crushed like a dead fish in the slave owner's hands. Under him, he desperately begged Solomon to kill himself, and finally he was beaten to the core for a bar of soap.
At this time, it is ridiculous to talk about human rights and equality.
When love goes to extremes, there is only possessiveness, carnal desire, and human nature deviates from goodness, and a person becomes a demon. He can act recklessly, with every grass, tree, and slave, he can let his mood (or
desire as pats say) .
Solomon was educated to write this book, but there are many more uneducated, kind and honest black people who have spent their lives in misery.
It is human nature, and it is also a sentence that has been repeatedly verified by history.
The so-called freedom must be built on the basis of independence. If you want to be independent, you have to become stronger.
In addition, good and evil are also human nature. Solomon's abduction was the evil used by two white people who were tempted by money. The violin that the first slave owner gave him was good. .
The film is good at using long shots, showing contrast and contrast, such as the numbness of the black people behind Solomon's hanging for hours, and the close-up of Solomon waiting for redemption for a few minutes.
In terms of color, when the bishop is a free man, the color is bright, and when he is a slave, it is darker. When he is desperate, the light of the dialogue between the two is removed, and the front of the camera is pitch black.
The editing also flickers, the rhythm is fast and slow. The focus is on the suffering and helplessness of black people, with a small amount of joy and laughter.
We read from the history of personal destiny, the change of times, and the contest between good and evil for mankind in the future.
