After watching the legendary Spike Lee's Black Kkkans Man recently, I felt very disappointed. Not only did the plot drag on, but even the characters had a layer of false exaggeration. A black man praised a white hero. A space for people to contemplate and contemplate, making people very questionable about the quality of Spike Lee's products.
Coincidentally, he used his early work Inside Man to make up for it. The great wisdom and human feelings in the market are very refreshing. It belongs to the rare 'bank robbing' genre. The most worthy of scrutiny in the film is Inside Man's Role, who is the insider? Behind a bank robbery is actually a contest between the little guy and the big guy. There are several lines of relationship included in Bank robber & Detective vs. Banker & Jodie & Major. The most memorable one is the confrontation between the bank robber and the sheriff to the end. In the seat, the finishing touch is the morality that will appear in Hong Kong films.
This is the bone of the story, the real flesh, that is, the dialogue is still worth scrutinizing. Here are a few more memorable scenes, mainly focusing on the resourceful Sheriff Miller, who is vividly performed by the old drama bone Denzel Washington, full of The dark humor and wit of little people. (The 4 points given by Inside Man is more than half of the credit of the screenwriter, this person is Russell Gewirtz, planning to see his other works)
For example, the first conversation between Sheriff Miller and Dalton, the head of the bank robbery:
Dalton: Damn right. This time next week I'll be sucking down pina coladas in a hot tub with six girls names Amber and Tiffany.
Miller: Think so? More like a shower with guys named Jamal and Jesus. And here's the bad news, Buddy. That thing you're sucking on, it ain't a pina colada.
Dalton's description of his aftermath was turned into a bleak prisoner by the sheriff, which was a bit menacing but was described with a bit of humor, because we all know what a pina colada in prison would be ;)

Conversation between the sheriff and Ms. White, the figure behind the politics played by Jodie:
Miller: Please don't take this personally, but suck my dick.
White: Careful, Miller. My bite is worse than my bark.
White compares herself to Bitch, and the closer the enemy is, she doesn't understand it just by shouting a few times, her metaphor is rather harsh.

The next paragraph is the conversation between White and the banker Case:
White: I'd love to tell you what a monster you are, but I've got to be back in the city by three to help Ben Laden's nephew buy a co-op on Park Avenue.
Case: If that were true, you wouldn't tell me.
White: We're listing you as a reference.
At first glance, White's ruthless character is a master negotiator, and every word is downgraded, giving Case a blow to the head. She should also be familiar with this kind of give & take relationship.
Finally, I studied the background of the movie. The scene of Jewish "revenge" turned out to have other meanings. Spike Lee himself is Jewish, so making this kind of movie should be full of justice. Unfortunately, Black Kkkans Man has a fake diagram and put the cart before the horse. .
