This is the first time I watched a gangster film in the 1930s. This should be regarded as one of the earliest. The historical and cultural significance will not be repeated. The limitations are mainly reflected in two points: there are still a lot of overt or covert elements of moral criticism. The length is too short and the rhythm is too fast, so that the plot does not really unfold, and the characters are not full. Edward G. Robinson's aura supports the whole...

1. The 1931 gangster film actually involves homosexual innuendo; 2. The gangster characters are still American individualistic heroes who struggle with independence and the environment; 3. The end credits praise the Virgin before dying, reflecting Hollywood's compromise with Catholic audiences and traditional morals. This moral compromise is almost absent in Howard Hawks'...

6/10. As the pioneering work of the genre, the description of the psychological desires of gangsters can be described as far-reaching, such as the symbol of desire for power/wealth. Rick, who has just entered the industry, shows envy to the boss's exquisite costumes and diamond bracelets, and pulls a gun on impulse. The Rick later stepped into the high-level, and he also dressed up in front of the mirror and showed off his jewelry to others. For example, for the underworld, emotion is the soft...

The gangster boss in the Hollywood genre movie gangster film began to walk in a trench coat nearly a hundred years ago. The little brother in "The Color of Heroes", Mike in "Once Upon a Time in America", and the big brother Sandino in "The Godfather" can be said to all It evolved from "Little Caesar". The little Caesar in the film has an almost basic relationship with Joe. It can be seen that the friendship between men is the most important content of gangster films from the beginning. In...

The ancestor of robber films. The shooting in front of the church (Xiaofan said at the time that the scene can be bigger, I think it may be a technical limitation), shooting, posters. In this relatively simple film without camera movement, the camera sound and picture of joe eavesdropping on a phone call through the corridor creates an interesting space. The clips are really rough. Little Caesar is the most simple-minded gang leader in history, right? Is he the first person to control the...
