I remember in the movie[SPOILER]when Remmick told that the KKK was coming for them, I already believed him. The confirmation was nice, and you phrased that really poignant. But why the epic shootout?  The shootout was relatively long for the placement in the story and felt just a bit too much and was unneccesary, you could've shown in a different way that Remmick told the truth. For me it would've been enough to show a short scene how the lynch squad arrives, ready to kill, but with the protagonists all gone already. And lets be honest, that shootout was another soap bubble. A single just hero killing all the evil racists is also just a fantasy and it muddles the core theme you pointed out. Why does the movie deconstruct the one fantasy, but fulfills the other fantasy?[/SPOILER]</blockquote>
