At the end of the movie, the camera rises vertically, first Tony lying in a sea of blood, then the earth statue of "The world is yours", and finally Snooy's killer standing behind the cracked railing.
Tony's personality may be quite special, but in this "full of opportunities" Miami, there will be countless Tony cycles in this process.
The human heart is a reptile, contentment and happiness is not suitable for gangsters, nor is it suitable for most hardworking, good children.
Al Pacino is a genius actor. From the beginning of the film, insisting on his innocence in the immigration guesthouse allowed the audience to understand his paranoid character. Similarly, Manny’s three different views as the second male lead, the erosion of Elvia as the female lead, and the compromising mentality of the boss Frank all strongly reflect Tony’s stubborn character. These supporting roles make Tony more special. In fact, Tony's humanity is strongly reflected in everyone's heart.
Why Manny pursued Gina in the end, why Elvia chose to leave Tony, why Frank sent a killer to do Tony in the nightclub, why Sousa rushed to kill them, these seem to be caused by different reasons, but they are the same in human nature.
People always want to get things that they can't get at present, but the heart of loving the new and disgusting the old makes people never satisfied. This is a cyclical process in which human nature will change, but in a sin city full of money, drugs, and women, human nature will eventually circulate on an endless track.
After a set of quick cut shots in the middle of the movie (the process of Tony's wealth), Tony no longer looks up at others, at home with his partners, and his wife is full of "Fuck" and "Money". The big mansion and luxury cars no longer let Tony I feel any happiness, only to numb myself with the white powder. In fact, here is the same as Tony who faced the chainsaw at the Sunshine Hotel at the beginning of the movie, he was not afraid of the immediate danger. Tony knew that he was in a crisis no matter how much he smoked, but the white powder made him believe more in his ability to handle the crisis.
Why Tony died? The most intuitive thing is that he didn't have the heart to kill the target Manny gave him and he has no respect for Manny. There are no perfect things in the world. In more depth, since Tony killed his boss Frank, he was doomed to death. Those who are only loyal to oneself and have strong abilities will surely become the target of the public. The words "The world is yours" appearing in the shots after Frank is killed directly reflect Tony's humanity. There are many people in this world, and people are the most complicated animals in the world. How could this world belong to Tony?
The human nature embodied in the film changes cyclically, but there are problems that are difficult to overcome. Tony's arrogance from beginning to end makes his image flat, without obvious changes in human nature.
This is the first drama film I watched seriously in my childhood, because Vice City who has played gta learned that this film is the original version of the game. Although I didn't understand it at the time, it was also brought in by its plot. From now on, the film has a fatal flaw in the depiction of human nature, but it has a perfect ending. This short ending is just a small long shot of the last pull up, but it perfectly embodies the unknown side in this glamorous and beautiful city.
