This is a decent Oscar-nominated film. It is politically correct enough, has a high degree of completion, and the actors have good acting skills. All aspects are stable. But it's too uneventful. There's nothing special about the whole movie. After watching it, the audience can't get too much water in their hearts, because there have been too many similar movies.
Tony, the protagonist, should have been the most concentrated point of drama in this film. Before two black plumbers came to his house to help and drank two glasses of water, he threw the glass immediately after seeing it, but he came to the employer's house. During the interview, he found out that the employer was black, but he didn't respond. There was no sign of racial discrimination in either his actions or his inner expression. Afterwards, during the tour of the two, he had an equal attitude towards Shirley from beginning to end. A change in perception that should be imagined. I don’t know if the screenwriter forgot Tony’s previous racist tendencies or was afraid that too many expressions of racism would cause an overreaction in the very sensitive political environment in the United States. The lack of equal thought change not only reduces the tension of the story brought by the dramatic conflict, but also weakens the effect of touching the hearts of the viewers by a profound reveal of racial discrimination. So after watching it, I even wondered if the movie just wanted to describe a simple road friendship between two men.
I don't think I can watch this movie.
