Description

In this first scene, Hallen encounters his sister’s boyfriend, Tremayne, when he enters his mother’s house and find’s Tremayne lethargic on the couch. Tremayne appears to be an unemployed freeloader living off the work of his girlfriend’s mother. The optics of Hallen entering his mother’s home as a soldier returning home from war to take care of his family in comparison to Tremayne’s willingness to stay at home while someone else works for him sets up the juxtaposition between the good black man, who is a soldier, and the “bad” urban youth.
