Aguitov’s review published on Letterboxd:
- Where you goin'?
- Where whitey ain't allowed.
Desde su primera aparición en pantalla, supe inmediatamente quién era el asesino. Lo percibí, lo sentí. Pero la gracia de In the Heat of the Night es entrenarte para que sospeches mal.
Durante gran parte de la película, el relato está construido para que el espectador haga exactamente lo mismo que el pueblo: culpar al otro, buscar ciegamente móviles raciales, pensar en el crimen como un conflicto ideológico. Y cuando un sistema está obsesionado con esa discriminatoria jerarquía étnica, investiga peor, analiza peor y, principalmente, concluye peor.
El asesino termina siendo un joven blanco, económicamente vulnerable, sin poder real. No es el millonario racista caricaturesco. No es el hombre negro injustamente acusado. Es alguien invisible, común y corriente.
