Sollers point took me by surprise with its intense reflection into my own upbringing. Our main character Keith is struggling to maintain a balance between finding work, family, and friends after getting out of county lock up.
When the legal system fails to deliver rather than pick up the pieces and do better we see Keith's regression into what caused the setback in the first place. A mad downward spiral of easy money at high risk while pacifying racial relations to his own socioeconomic status.
Like most intuitive dramas there's really no gain or moral object to be had. It's just a story, one I have seen played out in real life hundreds of times making it more a zeitgeist of racial division and lack of industry and how it affects this generation. Movie is great but it left me feeling meloncholy and a bit sad because of its honesty.
