"The Tragedy of Two Men"

Dimitri 2022-03-21 09:01:03

In "Pirates of Fire", there is no real winner. Whether it is Pacino or De Niro, the two of them are completely losers in their lives. Except for work (police work and gangster work), the two workaholics are waste. The role played by Pacino is slightly better, at least his strength is exposed, although this strength is very fragile in marriage. De Niro's role is slow to speak, and he has his own rules when he kills. If De Niro didn't waste his "look at me" time when he finally killed his enemy, I think he would be able to escape successfully. In the end of the movie, although the so-called justice defeated evil, Pacino's melancholy face in the shadows made people unhappy at all. Two men with similar life and mental states were disillusioned after having a brief intercourse. "Stealing Firewire" is by no means an action movie, it is a standard art film that strongly asks the weak points of human nature.

    The wrestling between the police and the bandits is extremely handsome, and the masters sympathize with each other; several robbery and shootout scenes are very neat and flamboyant, De Niro and Fang Jimo are calm and dare to work, and it is suitable for static and dynamic; in contrast, Pacino can't keep up The rhythm was exhausted throughout the whole process, and only at the end was political correctness to get rid of De Niro; the interesting thing is that behind every man there is a non-symbolic woman, adding tenderness and enriching men to the hot men's drama Dimensions of the role
