Carlito's Way (Dawn of the Owl)

The Dawn of Love Owl, I wondered at the beginning who gave this talented name. We have only heard of drug lords, and Carlito was once a drug lord. He wanted to change his ways. The funny thing is that he still can't escape his fate. In the end But because of his own pity he killed himself. It is said that dawn is the coldest time of the day, and when Carlito was dying, he said that he was shaking, and what was waiting for him was a sunny morning...
The whole film is still full of strong gangster flavors, and one insists The gangsters who are morally righteous still die under the cruelty of reality. Compared with the young and dangerous young man who stabs his brothers every time, it seems that such gangsters are more realistic. Every day is calculating and competing, constantly stepping on other people's shoulders to climb up, so what's the problem with these guys with guns constantly stepping on other people's corpses in order to survive, this is an era of the weak.
Fortunately, the director did not carry out the darkness to the end. Kyle and their children are the bright places in the whole film. The love between the two of them is still real. The new life they gave birth is full of endless hope. Dirty society, to live a carefree life on a paradise island, at least I dream of it...

    8.5/10. ①The male protagonist of the drug lord who values ​​love and righteousness wants to change his mind, but because of his persistence in love and righteousness, he cannot quit the arena as he wishes, and he is finally killed by drug traffickers. ②Some paragraphs use (high-level) long-lens movement/scheduling to create a sense of realism and immersion (some of them also create other atmospheres, such as the beginning and the end of the two paragraphs [the movement/scheduling is exactly the same] the long-shot movement of the sky and the earth /Scheduling creates a sense of turbulence, and the long shot of the girls dancing in the nightclub creates a sense of psychedelic); the processing of the paragraph in the final climax of chasing and killing the male protagonist (editing, scheduling, soundtrack, etc.) is full of tension. ③The narrative is more protracted, deduct 0.5.

Carlito's Way quotes

  • David Kleinfeld: [watching an Italian man dancing with Gail] You're gonna let this fuckin' goombah paw your woman like that?

    Carlito: Hey, they're just dancin'. Don't you appreciate that? The movement. The rhythm. What I don't appreciate is he's got his fuckin' hands all over her ass.

    Carlito: He's doesn't have his hands over her ass. I believe those are hips.

    David Kleinfeld: [still watching the Italian man dance with Gail] This shithead. These fuckin' wiseguys think they're so hardass. I am so sick of hoods like *that* coming into my office, MY office, thinkin' they can push me around.

    Carlito: [sarcastically] Oh, I think you should tell him what you think. I mean, why would you ever hold something like that inside? I mean, why not get something like that off your chest? It's a terrible thing to carry around with you.

    David Kleinfeld: I will.
