It paints a real picture in real time of what happened on that September day, and it uses the techniques and concepts of filmmaking to get its point very eloquently across to the viewer.

Shaft flashes a police badge to criminals in the first part of the movie, establishing his role as the "good" guy in the film, although he is from the same "underworld" as the rest of the black criminals in the movie.

However, it remains true that much of the world's
