So yeah we follow a young man and trough him we will see the different perceptions of a kid trough two different systems: public and private school. Its start with a public school with an other young black man with who Paul will get friend with but they will be tested with many difficulties: percpetion to be black in America, the corruption, the family, social classes. And we will see Paul have a different behavior with the private school and heard some bad stuff about Black kids: this is America. The segragation was there so it reflect a certain reality. But Paul will continue to see him despite the warnings of his parents and the differents opinions of people. We will see again some discrimination when they got arrested for the computer. What will saved Paul its his father and his relationship but the black kid will get stuck and still get arrested despite his commit the same crime as Paul. Corruption by business, money, color. Armageddon Time have a pretty simple story and just deliver it with honesty and try to not hide things (the violence of Paul's father, the opinions on black people). I enjoyed also the performance of Anthony Hopkins who give advice to Paul and give ways to act better. A nice movie even if its pretty slow and we are constantly in the POV of a kid who just get older and try to live with the differents problems of society in that time. A nice retranscription and a nice representation of America. Nothing more and nothing less.
