I have a dream

The film opens the skylight and speaks brightly——

The white driver opened the car door and waited for a well-dressed black man to get into the car.

At this time, silence is better than sound, which can be called the highlight moment of the film:

Isn't it the essence of the American dream that a person's income and treatment are determined according to the scarcity of his work and his contribution to society, rather than race and color?

At present, the United States is overdoing it. The preferential treatment of black people in admissions, employment, welfare, etc., in essence, hides its inherent discrimination and arrogance: because of your skin color and race, you do not deserve to enjoy the same standards as others. Giant babies are not born in a day, and this kind of reverse discrimination has become a serious social problem.

Dr. Shelley's father was the only black man with a private beach in Florida at the time. Under his father's influence, Shelley learned to play the piano at the age of two, began to perform publicly at the age of three, made his concert debut with the Boston Orchestra at the age of 18, and was invited to the White House twice. The show, chatting and laughing with the Kennedy family:

Aesop wrote a famous fable about bats. Birds and beasts go to war, and bats are like birds and beasts.

Bats can be said to be to blame, and Dr. Shelly, who only has bat conditions, is also suffering from unbearable loneliness and depression:

Those rich white guys asked me to play just to show their cultural taste, and as soon as I got off the stage I was a nigger again, that's their culture. And my fellow black people don't accept me because I'm not like them, neither white enough nor black enough, so who am I?

Only by mastering the rhythm as natural as breathing can the performance have vitality and the characters can be reached:

The restraint of black elites, their adherence to morality (despising gambling, picking up other people's things, and not throwing drinks around), the helplessness of being surrounded and beaten, the shame and panic of being caught in the bathroom, and the anger that is not understood, Being played by Ali, he was completely hooked, hesitant, paused, and broke out intolerably. It was very in place and very sexy.

Dr. Love Letter

Miss Daisy taught Hawke to read, and Dr. Shelley taught Tony to write love letters. The latter can save the doctor from danger and scare away thieves without bloodshed, but he cannot express his love and gratitude to his wife sincerely and delicately.

After full contact and understanding, Dr. Shelley's many advantages made Tony feel how sad the discrimination against blacks before (even throwing away the cups used by blacks).

An inch is long and a foot is short. Only by fully communicating and colliding can different races and cultures be integrated and improved. Dr. Shelley is well-known in the United States, isn't it also the unique charm of jazz with classical music?
