Quiet gangster movie

Traditional and classic police films, the story is eloquent, and the ending is awkward. It's a "quiet" police and criminal film. It's not noisy at all, but it's not plain, on the contrary, it's exciting.

The script is not complicated, but the first two clues are cleverly arranged. A prisoner released early, a fugitive, seemingly two unrelated trajectories, unexpectedly met and formed a new team.

The actor's performance is naturally appropriate. Alandron put on a mustache, but he didn't recognize it at first. There are almost no actresses in the film. The soundtrack without mystery, even in the tense plot, is often quiet, restoring the real scene of the robbery to the greatest extent.

The police officer’s boss claimed that everyone was guilty. The informant asked the police officer whether the fugitive was guilty, whether the police officer’s method of forcing the informant to provide clues was illegal, and the film never made it clear whether the fugitive was guilty, and the boundaries of justice became blurred. On the contrary, the loyalty and tragic ending between the robbery team members is even more sympathetic. Towards the end, the escaped prisoner may have a premonition that the prisoner is going to be in danger and follow to protect; the prisoner helped the escaped prisoner escape the police search; the sharpshooter took the initiative to give up his piece of jewelry in order to thank his companion for giving him a chance to get rid of alcoholism. Looking back at the police officer who seemed to have the upper hand, he was accompanied by only three cats after get off work, without family members, and lived a lonely life. After killing all the robbers, the police officer who had done the meritorious service showed no joy at all.

There are almost no bloody scenes in the whole film, and no violent scenes. He subdued the security guard during the robbery, and did not harm the security at all. It is very different from the modern police and criminal film with strong sense of stimulation.

At the end, the shot-shot sharpshooter faced the police officer who was chasing after him. He recalled the history of studying at the police school and seemed to see the shadow of "Infernal Affairs". The same classmate from the police school also took two paths, one black and one white. On the surface, there is not much difference between people and people. I don't know from which day they embarked on a distinct journey.

    The time is too long and it is not compact enough. I really like Corey letting Weigao, who was stuck in the trunk, come out to breathe, and at the end, Weigao desperately rushed to save Corey. In addition, the plot of Jenson finally found himself in the decadent is also great. The style of the movie is very cold and cool

    The movie spends a lot of time showing the silence between the characters, the sense of identification over communication (acquaintance in the trunk, joining a third person). Melville continually sets up an "abandoned" policeman, re-questing power with the character's predicament after its loss. Therefore, the theft itself is only the event through which the characters regain their self-identity.

  • Le chef de la police: And don't forget: All guilty.

    Le Commissaire Mattei: Even policemen?

    Le chef de la police: All men, Mr. Mattei

  • Vogel: Between shooting two men six feet away and hitting a target at 100 feet there's a certain difference. It's the difference between an amateur and a professional. And, despite all appearances, I'm not professional.
