The rivers and lakes can't help themselves

A great literary gangster movie! The flashback and the narration of the soul add a sense of tragedy and poetry. The 360-degree rotating camera makes the world separated by yin and yang really feel like a world away. Carlito is a tragic character from the beginning. In fact, I knew this from the beginning. The film is about, but I still keep the patience to watch it. The reason why I want to support my patience is that I like all the elements of this film, the rivers and lakes, the vicissitudes of life, the romance, and the unpredictable world. . . . . . , All of this makes me intoxicated, because I understand that this is our true life.

Of course, all these elements are not novel, including the theme of being in the rivers and lakes and being involuntarily involuntarily, but I don’t feel bored at all. Life may be like this, helplessness and chasing dreams, sometimes Sui wants to change himself. In fact, it is so difficult, not as simple as you think, and once your habits and your environment are fixed, then you are your own prisoner.

Own prisoner! Let us think about it. The Bahamas is so beautiful, but for most people, it can only be in their own hearts, and a bunch of fish bags and $70,000 are the reality. This is what attracted me to this film. I saw my own shadow in carlito. Where are people in the rivers and lakes involuntarily, why not magnify our lives?

Another note: The director really chooses people, I have never seen such a nasty Sean Penn.
