Love and Hate

Rating: 4/10 (14 June 2020)

The movie is very long, and yet it doesn't feel long.
The story keeps on moving forward in a good mix of slow and fast scenes.
The shooting (of the director) is of high professional quality.
The editing flawless. How scenes of the past are shown in 4/3 ratio is great.
The acting is quite convincing too, very professional.
The characters are well drawn.
So what is disturbing?
Not the part of racism, which is always a theme in Spike's movies.
What disturbed me was the quick transitions between love and hate scenes,
between scenes of respect, and scenes of massacre.
All in undifferentiated aspects of ideology.
Was this Spike's intention?
To tell us we are all basically primary characters, able for the best as for the worst,
at the snap of fingers, depending on the situations.
The heart takes over the mind ?
I don't agree.
