Calido's breakfast

This film is quite old (1993) and quite classic (the Chinese name is "Dawn of Love Owl"), the literal translation should be "Carlito's Way", the name is very good, why is it called "Qing Owl" Dawn"? If I had a name I'd call it "Calidor's Breakfast".
Because at last Kalido said: I started to tremble. One last glass of wine. The bar is closing. The sun is coming out. Where are we going to have breakfast? I don't want to go too far. Busy night. I'm tired, baby. so tired.
This is one of the dying words that touches me the most. I watched the ending several times, dying, so helpless, and so natural. Makes me feel angry and not scary.

    Really exciting plot. . .

    This is probably the pinnacle of Jianghu gangster clichés. My favorite Hollywood movie opening after Raging Bull. Al Pacino gave another performance that I'm afraid De Niro can't replace (although I often think of them as Andy Lau and Tony Leung). There is also how to come up with such a beautiful translation of "Dawn of Love Owl", which is as beautiful as De Palma's mirror movement.
