When I watched it, it was a bit shocking, heart-wrenching and uncomfortable, racial discrimination and the conflict between the discriminated races, direct and helpless. Seemingly unrelated characters, different but similar stories, and finally the messy beads strung into a chain, maintaining the integrity of the film and showing the director's good grasp of this type of expression, while the actors The performance is also very good, and I think it is a movie worth watching a second time. However, after reading other people's film reviews, I realized that I was so careless about watching movies, and I didn't pay attention to the plot and details, which really wasted a lot of burden and thought of the director. However, as Lao Huang said, the director was unable to reach the realm of criticizing master due to the consideration of commercial value and political inclination, so that after seeing it, it was more like pushing the theme to the contingency and inevitability of fate and life. , which is why I put "somewhat" before "shocked", after all, it's still a long way from stressing my heart.
The director said: What I want to say is actually not racism, but a person's psychological problem. Every single one of you watching the film, every one of them has a tough problem, or too much crime, or a crazy coworker, or has been humiliated, or stripped of self-esteem, or stripped of all his wealth , but everyone reacts differently to embarrassment, and different responses lead to completely different outcomes-probably, the biggest problem you face is yourself. I think this is the original meaning of the film's name, inner conflict, not racial or political conflict, but, in this way, the racism presented in every aspect of the film has become tasteless, embarrassing myself and the film situation. Maybe, I can also use the human nature in the prevailing racism to explain, which seems to be reasonable, or maybe, I am far from understanding the meaning of this film. It is true that as a rare and good film in 2005, I think I will still watch it a second time. One day, perhaps, I will have a deeper feeling.
