CLIP DESCRIPTION:
When Endicott (Larry Gates) slaps Tibbs (Sidney Poitier) for implicating him as a suspect in the murder, Tibbs slaps him right back.
FILM DESCRIPTION:
The winner of the 1967 Oscar for Best Picture (as well as four other Oscars), In the Heat of the Night is set in a small Mississippi town where an unusual murder has been committed. Rod Steiger plays sheriff Bill Gillespie, a good lawman despite his racial prejudices. When Virgil Tibbs (Sidney Poitier), a well-dressed northern African-American, comes to town, Gillespie instinctively puts him under arrest as a murder suspect. Tibbs reveals himself to be a Philadelphia police detective; after he and Gillespie come to a grudging understanding of one another, Tibbs offers to help in Gillespie's investigation. As the case progresses, both Gillespie and Tibbs betray a tendency to jump to culture-dictated conclusions. Still, the case is solved thanks to the informal teamwork of the two law officers. Based on the novel by John Ball, In the Heat of the Night inspired two sequels, both starring Poiter as Virgil Tibbs. In 1987, a TV series version of In the Heat of the Night appeared, with Carroll O'Connor as Gillespie and Howard Rollins as Tibbs.

And how cool is this? H/T Shaun King "The legend, Sidney Poitier, has just passed away at 94 years old. Not only was he the first Black man to win an Oscar, he was fundamentally courageous on screen and off. On stage and off. ⁣ ⁣ I’ll never forget Nelson Mandela speaking of how watching Sidney Poitier on television while he was in prison gave him so much hope. Mandela learned that the prison edited out the scene in “In the Heat of the Night” where Poitier slaps a white man. ⁣ ⁣ And when he learned that Black men in America were slapping white men in movies, as funny as it sounds, Mandela said he knew things were changing."

That slap was damn near revolutionary, especially since it was done during the height of the non-violent movement! Malcolm X would've been proud.

@LevCallahan 4 года назад

I don't think it was a statement of violence but more of a authoritative response, stating Poitier's authority above Endicott as a law officer, as well as how such authority is held above all under the law system, even white men under black men. I don't think this had to do with Malcolm X's philosophy, which stated violence was a necessary response from all oppressed (which, inherently, was an incorrect outlook as we've seen from resulting history).

@diomedestydeus3298 4 года назад

His look says "The rules have changed, Endicott. What are you going to do about it?" That slap caused the earth to shift. Mr. Poitier knew it, Norman Jewison knew it and we still know it. Thank you, Mr. Poitier, for giving the world more than a performance.

@GetMeThere1 5 лет назад

It's this scene that really marks this movie as an all time classic great. They could have all too easily just stuck with the race/morality theme but instead, they IGNORED the simple-minded race story and went straight to character -- with the sheriff's observation "You're just like the rest of us." That's really amazing writing -- it's Shakespeare level, really.

@jamesdubose5635 5 лет назад

A subtlety that almost everyone misses and an important point as Tibbs later admits that he "was hung up on Endicott for personal reasons."

@alphonsowilliams5072 2 года назад

Amazing, brilliant, genius - words that describe this scene. After slapping a white man in the Jim Crow south, you'd think he'd be thinking, "I gotta get the hell outta Dodge", and nothing else. But despite his race and the potential problems he's about to face, he still shows us his capacity for being human - his desire to conquer; to win.

@mkaleborn 2 года назад

Spot on. And here we are in the 21st century still learning that lesson, both in movies and in real life. That it isn't always about what's on the surface of what you look like, who you sleep with, what 'cultural heritage' or baggage, you carry, or what you 'identify as'. It's never that simple. People are never that simple. Movie screenwriters would do well to remember that and stop just foisting up the surface layer of their characters expecting our roaring approval for the sake of 'representation'. It's not enough. Give us some real depth and character....

@trysometruth 2 года назад

@@mkaleborn The problem is, writing a screenplay like _this one?_ It takes not just artistry (and there's plenty of that) but a raging _ambition._ To _go there._ To do something that will not be easily forgotten or easily analyzed and dismissed.
