To put it simply, throughout the article, I try my best to show that Carpenter's disease is in a state of confusing, confusing, feces, urinary incontinence, and drooling.
Both the opening and the ending rely on subtitles. The middle is the daily life of the gangster’s dementia in his later years. Even if he shoots a bunch of illusions to flow into his consciousness, it still seems to be an illusion. The living conditions and health trends of wise patients. The illusion passage that advances the plot is not as good as the projection of the ideas of the director and screenwriter after he has replaced the characters. Most directors think that Capone will dream or hallucinate things. Too many such inner interpretations are used in biopics. It is too vain. After all, no one knows what the real Capone thought.
To be honest, this film is not completely despised, just watch it when you have nothing to do, at least the photography is okay, but the script is really thin, the rhythm is slow, and the meaning is unclear. There is a sentence "we all pay for our crimes in the end" on the poster. So this film wants to use the desolate evening scene to correspond to the once stunned situation, and to join in the idea of karma? Ordinary people also suffer from illness and dementia. Although the lens has repeatedly focused on Capone’s incontinence, nightmares, blurred reality, suspiciousness, and nonsense. This straightforward performance has a certain impact on perception, but when I think about it, patients with dementia almost have these symptoms. So I feel that it is true for any other patients with the same disease. The life of the protagonist after getting sick is actually much more comfortable than that of ordinary people after getting the same disease. Anyhow, a large group of people are taking care of him while living in a luxury house. The whole filming didn't know what to convey.
The director and screenwriter may particularly want to prove that he has a unique creativity, take the risk to choose such a character stage to tell the story, and use a narrative technique of slanting the front. The difficulty of shooting is conceivable, and smart design is required. But the ideal is very different from reality. From writing the script to shooting, I may feel that the material is enough, and the creativity is perfect. The final editing is really a boring and even a little uncomfortable finished product.
One star for Mr. Tang’s acting skills (one person has worked hard, ugly look and makeup?), one star for Lao Deng’s face value (although the role is extremely flat and scribble)
