The movie In the Heat of the Night is a very powerful movie that shows the racial tensions across America. During this time the setting is in a small, southern town that is struggling with the battles of harm and Justice. The movie starts with the murder of a wealthy industrialists that draws together to unlikely people connected to it, a black detective from Philadelphia and a white police chief the black detective and the police chief become partners, and this becomes an important part in the movie for the bigger struggles and society of the time with a lot of racism, battling for mutual respect and understanding.
In the beginning of the Movie there was a lot of tension, because of the growth of a black detective, Virgil Tibbs, into this town, the constant bullying from the local police Force he experience, the immediate conflict is brought in by the murder investigation. It is sad to watch Tibbs make his way through the terrible environment because of his skin color he is treated differently, his intelligence and his devotion, to making the community a better place connects with the ignorance that he confronts in the movie. It shows what confidence it takes to stand up against a system that is so harsh.

A real important moment in the movie is when Tibbs was first arrested simply because he was in the wrong place at the wrong time. The scene really shows the jump to assuming based on the race of racial profiling it makes the everyone embrace the uncomfortable fact that a person skin color often over shadows his innocence. When the story continues to develop, so there's the relationship between tubes in the police chief, Gillespie. For me personally, I love how Tibbs' and Gillespie's relationship grows in the movie because it shows how Gillespie is willing to hear out tubes and also work with him with no problems towards this part of the story. This early problems in the story turns into respect that it was hard to game, but was won this shows personal growth, Gillespie's growth and being open minded to tubes ideas and thoughts Gillespie's, and Tibbs represent an early form of a duo and again Tibbs showing his skills with confidence forms a question on Gillespie's own and fairness and how his response to that.
This is where the movie starts to relate to the wider world issues. It reflects to the struggles of the civil rights movement when I watch the movie I was shocked when Gillespie gave tubes a chance without giving him the hardest time like expected because of the time. And how much it really meant depending on your skin color the investigation that tubes does and covers not just the base of the motor but also societal problems that take on racism. This movie does tell everyone to question their personal opinions and the effect of racism in the system in every day society.
I realize that in the movie once they find the killer, there was a great moment between Tibbs and Gillespie's, when they are revealed to solve the case. The scene in the movie where it was a confrontation between Tibbs and the murderer, showing how the murderer get slapped by tubes, and he cannot do anything about it. It is a moment showing Tibbs power as a black man, but also how a lot of people in the city are struggling for recognition not just for Tibbs himself, but for all people who are trying to find their place in the world and their role that they play in helping their community.
Based on watching this movie and figuring out the scenes in the meanings behind them, I see a lot of girls between the characters in the movie and how they are most accepting of tubes in the movie. The movie reflects the current and past problems in society based on race, I enjoyed the movie because it shows how people were treated during this time, and how hard it was for some of the different ways than others to try to work, in the same space, or to even live in the same space as them overall I think this was a great movie that I would definitely watch again to see another perspective of it.
