Same as other gangster movies, this place also puts the loyalty of friends on the road in the first place; different from other gangster movies, it combines black, suspense, romance, and poetry, so this is a tragedy that both men and women can feel sad about.
It is true that this is a very cliché story. The gang rehabilitated after being released early. They wanted to wash their hands with a golden basin, took their lover and a little wealth, and went to the Bahamas to live the life of ordinary people. Not a child's play. Everyone of us knows the plot, but director Palma and starring Pacino still gave us the best 144 minutes.
The beginning of the film, we already know the end. Knowing the tone of the whole play, the director began to shoot the previous story as deep as possible as beautiful as possible. Same as other gangster movies, this place also puts the loyalty of friends on the road in the first place; different from other gangster movies, it combines black, suspense, romance, and poetry, so this is a tragedy that both men and women can feel sad about. As a woman, I have always liked the role of the big lady in movies. It is full of danger, danger and romance. She can see his most masculine side, and can also have his chivalrous and tender side. Whenever he was with Kyle, Pacino would immediately put down the gun he had been holding, his eyes full of care for his lover and hope for the future of the two.
The monologue in the film is one of my favorite methods. Because we know the ending, we are like listening to a dying person telling our inner story: "I really don’t want to continue, I really don’t want to continue. , But I can’t help it, I know it will ruin my destiny, but I can’t..." Pacino’s voice is deep, hoarse, and full of magnetism. Sadness and helplessness make the hearts of people who listen to stories clenched. You know his fate, but you just want to accompany him on the last road. This is what I think is a poor state of the audience.
There are many good stories in the world, and few are storytellers.
Director Palma did it.
Returning to what I mentioned at the beginning, this is a gangster movie. The director uses super strong story structure and perfect lens application to tell this visual story almost perfect. We follow the lens to explore Pacino’s inner world and spy together. This thing is a world that is not human, and we can't help but spy on all kinds of things on this road. At the end of the chase scene at the station, we all know the ending, but we just can’t help being nervous with it. This is the director’s skill, impeccable.
In addition to this, the actor Pacino also did it.
Pacino is my favorite actor, a representative of what I play in my heart, and what I should see, I have seen it in his eyes.
Here is a fragment that makes me sad for Pacino the most, and it also points out that this is destined to be a fateful tragedy. Pacino's voice is full of helplessness. This is his loyalty to his friends and his reward for his benefactor. He knows what his fate will be, but he wants to complete the man's mission, which he can't change.
It is not easy to meet a good movie, thank you.
Thanks to the director, screenwriter, actors and all the people behind the scenes for working together to complete this best.
Finally, I attach a moving ending song, You are so beautiful.
