It’s been a while since I saw the movie, but when you’re learning about the actions people are taking as a result of their racism, doesn’t it look like the activities are problematic?
No, because the actual act of trying someone is not shown to be problematic. Prejudicial racism is.
so two movies could have the same scene of an assassin shooting an innocent man and killing him. In one, it might not be problematic, in the other it is. Without making the victim somehow a horrible person, how might one show that the killing isn’t problematic? Alternately, what is required to show an activity as problematic?
Easy. Just look at the Doubt example.
You make the story about a group of individuals who believe the assassin is a murderer and force an investigation into his supposed guilt based on that assumption. Doesn’t matter if he’s killed or not or if he’s currently killing. What is shown to be problematic in that story is someone considered guilty based on hearsay.
To show the activity of killing problematic, have the assassin systematically kill every last one in that group.
That would be a different story.
