那是个不幸的年代也是和平及爱的年代。在布鲁克林区住着名妇人嘉露莲（阿尔法·沃德饰），大杳她疼爱子女，大杳面对失业的乐师丈夫和五个子女，简直疲于奔命。唯一帮助她的，只有十岁大的女儿。一家七口本来其乐融融，但突然发生事故，只有家人必须互相扶持，才能一起走过艰难的日子。斯派克·李是美国最具黑人意识的导演，所拍摄的题材大都跟黑人的出路、觉醒、种族歧视相关。他的电影风格犀利、节奏明快且极具爆发力，对于黑人的习性和社会困境有相当深刻的体会。本片就是通过对一个70年代普通黑人家庭故事的叙述，反映当时美国黑人的生活环境。

回复 :A bit of color for once, all the better to see the red flags with, not to mention the obvious aerial file footage of Warsaw. The story concerns Jozef Malesa, the mason or bricklayer of the title. He was once the darling of the party, the son of two old party activists, a worker of heroic reputation, his own commitment to The Movement unquestioned. He was chosen to be destined for great things, specially educated and pushed forward to positions of responsibility in the Party. Eventually he decides, because of the ethical pressures which he feels from the obstructionism of the bureaucracy from above, he asks to return to be a simple bricklayer. He is disturbed with the way the Party deals with people, especially their lack of direct contact. He thinks workers know better than the leadership many times but that's not the way power flows. He is uncomfortable with the compromises to his idealism. He remains committed to social justice and joins his friends for the May Day rally where his comfort and confidence in his place in society cause him to defer to no man, certainly no rat faced men in overcoats with red armbands. His great pleasure in life moreover is laying brick. He finds the work satisfying and fulfilling which is why he was such an obviously superior worker in the first place.
