Beautiful night view

The most impressive thing in the whole film is the clear and beautiful night scene.

When the green-lighted wolf at the intersection appeared, the story began to reverse. I always wanted to know what the killer and the taxi driver thought at that moment.

In the end, there was some sympathy for the killer. In fact, he didn't want to kill the driver, but he had to make a choice, so it might be a relief for him to die in the subway car in the end.

In general, a movie worth collecting.

    Cool killer movie, hierarchical night and lonely people, jazz and guns. My favorite is the long walks of taxis in the night, taking you across Los Angeles. The atmosphere between the two people is very interesting, and many conversations are worth remembering. one day? Will your dream come true? But when you dream back at midnight, you will find that everything has never happened and everything has passed you by. Dreams will never come true, and suddenly you are very old. no matter what

    I watched Michael Mann's film again, and the director's soundtrack on the DVD I bought earlier mentioned a lot of interesting things, such as the camera was specially made for this film, one of the first movies to use digital cameras, Taxi The coloring is specially studied so that it can be seen very brightly at night. Tom's marksmanship is very accurate (De Niro's marksmanship is also very accurate, and the pistol is also the Mozambique shooting method), and it is close to the climax. The coyote is the personal experience of the main creator, and some of the actors in the film are real police officers. In addition, there are many plots that people complain about without seeing the details. For example, the middle of the subway door is metal, and the clip on Tom's body can't actually match the security guard's gun. Including a series of changes in the psychology of the protagonist in the film are reasonable to follow. Brother Tom, the ruthless killer, said a lot of poisonous chicken soup, although there was basically no truth in his mouth. Michael Mann's night scene is so beautiful, it has been quite beautiful since his debut film thief.
