Ordinary narrative film. It is boring for most people. The first half was a bit procrastinated and did not well show the process of the brothers’ feelings from shallow to deep. It wasn't until the two were detained and Ryan was injured by a homosexual, that he was a little bit like brother and sister. The reason for giving four stars is because there are two places that touch me. First, Ryan's long-awaited reunion with his wife and children is finally about to come true. When he arrived at the door and found something was wrong, he went to a nearby telephone booth and wanted to make a phone call to explore the bottom. When he learned that his wife had remarried a long time ago and the child had miscarried in an accident, he suddenly felt the world broke and fell into deep self-blame. When he looked at Marx who was cheering for him outside the phone booth, he opened the door and gave the good brother a naughty hug, as if all the bad news had disappeared. He actually doesn't want his good friends to feel lost for his own affairs. Eventually he suffered from mental illness, and Marx sensed that something had happened in Ryan's home at this time, but he did not know what happened. As a difficult brother along the way, he resolutely gave up the idea of ​​opening a car wash in Pittsburgh, and he wanted to go to Pittsburgh to withdraw all his savings to treat Ryan's illness. The second is that the end of the film is both humorous and touching. Marx went to buy a round-trip ticket to Pittsburgh. When the cash was not enough, he cut open the heel with a knife. There was a banknote hidden inside, and then slammed the heel back on the counter.

    It seems to be a copy of Midnight Cowherd. The fate of the characters is also up and down. The metaphor of the scarecrow and the cold surroundings form an absurd and pitiful self-deprecation, which pleases everyone and cannot change his own tragedy. Young old Pa gave a wonderful performance, what a sad character

    It’s hard not to compare this to Midnight Cowboy, but compared to the cruel, homeless metropolis under Schlesinger’s lens, Schlesinger’s eyes of the United States and homeless people are more romantic and crazy (actually Also very fragile). Ah, why Pacino didn't have the sneeriness at all when he was young, it was so pitiful, and even with a tough guy like Hackman, it became really a bit rotten after that striptease. . . Good ending
