A bizarre robbery

This is a bizarre bank robbery! The robbers were so accommodating, the hostages were so cooperative, the crowd was so excited that they didn't make it to Algeria in the end, and the moviegoers were so sad. How young Al Pacino was back then, it reminds us that every uncle and uncle has had youth. In fact, this result is the general result of robbers, isn't it? It's just that Al Pacino is such a sad robber, everyone who has a relationship with him is holding him back: the first buddy just came in and went out because as a robber he can't hold a gun at the bank The security guard; the second Charles, who has been neurotic and asked him to keep calming his emotions; his gay lover, the reason he came to rob the bank, he refused to call him, and kept chatting while talking on the phone; Wife, didn't realize that he was in danger, and finally talked about him marrying a man behind her back; his father didn't recognize him at all, and his mother couldn't see what happened, and persuaded him to run, Where can you go! See why he became a robber, he was forced to do so for a long time, right? Who else knows he understands him?

[Taipei Golden Horse Film Festival Screening] The first time I saw it, I was surprised that the first half was so humorous and funny, the theater was full of joy, and the robbers' behavior was naive. And the female teller is hilarious and sarcastic. Issues such as the Vietnam War trauma, media ugliness, and queer communities that have been addressed and revealed have added depth. The ending is not difficult to guess, but the second half is too protracted, just like the hot weather in the film. Al Pacino is great

The Godfather's Las Vegas brother. Pacino still works with him quite often. Actually, I think he played really well. The Stockholm symptom doesn't seem so low-level, it seems reasonable, psychological terms always elevate the trickle of ongoing events to a horrifying angle. Is this the generalizing and revealing power of the term, or does it actually go against the feel of what is actually happening?

Leon: I couldn't explain the things I did. So I went to this psychiatrist who told me that I was a woman trapped in a man's body. Well, so, right away Sonny wanted to get me money for a sex change operation: but where was he going to get that? 2,500 dollars. My God, he was in hock up to his ears already.

Sonny: [on a TV broadcast over the phone] I'm robbing a bank because they got money here. That's why I'm robbing it.
TV Anchorman: No, what I mean is why do you feel you have to steal for money? Couldn't you get a job?
Sonny: Uh, no. Doing what? You know if you want a job you've got to be a member of a union. See, and if you got no union card you don't get a job.
TV Anchorman: What about non-union occupations?
Sonny: What's wrong with this guy? What do you mean non-union, like what? A bank teller? You know how much a bank teller makes a week? Not much. A hundred and fifteen to start, right? Now are you going to live on that? I got a wife and a couple of kids, how am I going to live on that? What do you make a week?
TV Anchorman: Well I'm here to talk to you Sonny...
Sonny: Well I'm talking to you. We're entertainment, right? What do you got for us?
TV Anchorman: Well what do you want to get for it? Do you expect to be paid because...
Sonny: No, I don't want to be paid, I don't need to be paid. Look, I'm here with my partner and nine other people, see. And we're dying, man. You know? You're going to see our brains on the sidewalk, they're going to spill our guts out. Now are you going to show that on television? Have all your housewives look at that? Instead of As The World Turns? I mean what do you got for me? I want something for that.
TV Anchorman: Sonny, you could give up?
Sonny: Give up? Right. Have you ever been in prison?
TV Anchorman: No!
Sonny: No! Well let's talk about something you fucking know about, okay? How much do you make a week? That's what I want to hear. Are you going to talk to me about that?
[a "Please Stand By" graphic appears on the TV screen]
Sonny: Hey, what the fuck happened?
Mulvaney: I guess he didn't appreciate your use of language.
Sonny: Fuck him.
