夜晚吞噬了我们

　　In the summer of ’76, as President Jimmy Carter pledges to give government back to the people, tensions run high in a working-class Philadelphia neighborhood where the Black Panthers once flourished. When Marcus returns—having bolted years earlier—his homecoming isn’t exactly met with fanfare. His former movement brothers blame him for an unspeakable betrayal. Only his best friend’s widow, Patricia, appreciates Marcus’s predicament, which both unites and paralyzes them. As Patricia’s daughter compels the two comrades to confront their past, history repeats itself in dangerous ways.


　　Night Catches Us masterfully reckons with the complexity of its characters’ revolutionary ideologies and internal desires. Bell-bottoms, Afros, potlucks, and Caddies set the scene as the film potently interweaves political media with an evocative soul-inspired score, summoning a vivid sense of place and time. The golden light that bathes characters’ faces seems to express the promise—and elusiveness—of the necessary change Marcus and Patricia struggle for so dearly—each by separate means.

也许不了解美国七十年代关于黑人的背景，还真不好说看明白了，基本一头雾水。大概是黑人社区里有个组织反对白人统治吧，但他们针对警察做袭击，虽然个别警察有种族主义倾向。加上中情局在中作祟，有的青年极易做出袭警的啥事。影片就是讲了组织头目被打死在家中之后妻女的生活。阅读（21） 评论（0）2012-11-03 10:14

到底是讲黑豹党 还是讲爱情故事 还是讲什么 不懂

extraordinary costume and BGM

发现今天看了两部电影都有Kerry Washington，政治背景不了解，难入戏。

亮点是金日成的照片在美国街头…话说我都不知道有黑豹党得事……不过电影实在是有点莫名…

配乐不错，黑人特色的音乐还是很值得欣赏的。剧情还是经历过特殊历史背景会比较有感触。。。

关于黑豹党，有点太文艺腔了，不如斯派克·李有力

很遗憾片子的切入点很怪异，是否关于这段历史依旧是美国人不愿意回顾的隐疾。尽管有大量的历史黑白影像，却立场模糊语焉不详。更诡异的是维基自由百科的“黑豹党”条目只有短短一段话。反倒是国内的百科条目介绍更详尽些。这个因白人的歧视高压政策而组建的组织，绝不只是片子中那么简单。

女性视觉的黑豹党伤痕文学电影，爱情得有点勉强。看在小愤青在被就地正法前的那一草地萤火虫，加颗星。又是The Roots全程配乐，愤青说唱啊愤青说唱

黑哥们苦难史 THE ROOTS的音乐配的没的说
