The look and feel is much better than in the hot day afternoon. The events in the hot day afternoon are concentrated between individuals and hostages and the police. The limitations are too large and difficult to control. The story advancement of the city heroes is dynamic and three-dimensional. Abandoning the car to the dock to face off, the mood of the audience continued to be mobilized, very compact; various aspects of the disclosure of social issues, showing the inner activities of the characters requires a lot of close-up shots and close-up shots, this is very good, the hero's daughter and the police Tan's daughter formed a cleverly heterogeneous reference. In a hot day, everyone began to restless, restless, impetuous, and social conflicts began to emerge. It only takes a bad day for a person to collapse. Everything in this environment To be more credible and true, when we look at the clown with similar kernels, the entry point is too unsuccessful; mental problems plus family emotional disputes, will he become a clown with some street violence and bullying suppression? Too low-level, and several elements are useless. Excessive reliance on Uncle Phoenix's acting skills makes the boundary between fantasy and reality blurry. It is really a failure. The analysis of social problems stays on the surface. There is a little gap between the rich and the poor, class differentiation, and frustration. Feeling makes people sick, as if someone doesn't know. I only saw a psychopath who was hysterical, aggressive, delusional of victimization, and deliberately drawing empathy from the audience. Opportunistic, deliberately, on what basis to give to Golden Lion, just because of the current malpractice? Pooh! Although I didn't play very well at that time, it was a block short of my complaint.

Having said that, no one in this movie has a great sin, but everyone is suffering, all suffering is caused by others and society, and the male protagonist’s unreasonable rebellion seems to relieve his anger, but in fact it is still It is creating pain. If the way to resolve the pain is to create more pain, then the self-destruction of the male protagonist is inevitable.

In several places, it feels that the male protagonist is like the epitome of the United States, doing whatever he wants, tending to be violent, repelling immigrants from the bottom of his heart, sounding self-righteous, and always causing many negative externalities.

A few techniques are worth learning. Arrange the male protagonist’s enthusiasm at home for his daughter’s birthday; arrange the detective’s life as the last day of retirement; broadcast videotapes at home; the detective calls his wife and partner on the phone at the same time; the male protagonist talks to society People paid for neither stealing nor robbing; in the end, the male protagonist faked his gun.

A textbook-like movie.

    Very helpless. In fact, this kind of outbreak is possible for everyone. Standing on that small concrete pier and looking around, he has almost nothing. For the last straw, the outbreak finally began. Therefore, in order to continue to live vulgarly and strong, we have to find more straws for ourselves and tie them into rafts, so that we will not fall and die or die.

    If you want to choose one of the top 100 opening films in movie history, this one must be selected. The effect of the opening five minutes of the traffic jam is so great that it almost condenses the whole film into it, so that the next 100 minutes is more like an extension of it. The atmosphere is rendered, the environment (nature and society) is shaped, and the characters are outlined. From From anxiety to anger to outbursts, the most important thing is that the devastation and violent emotions that run through the whole film have penetrated into the temperament of the film since the first scene, and have continued to the end. Another excellent passage is the turning event of the protagonist in the middle section. The extremely neat narrative system is also reflected here. By resisting the falling down of an action, the spiritual falling down of the protagonist is completed, and the real face of the bottom red neck is arranged to be revealed. The remake of the film allows the protagonist to complete the transformation without slipping into the quagmire of the extreme right. This design also keeps the social expression of the film from a relatively calm perspective. The oppressive atmosphere of the police line on Robert Duvall's side contrasted with the main line, but in the end, no suitable breakthrough was found.

Falling Down quotes

  • Construction Worker: Where do you think you're going? You can't come this way.

    Bill Foster: What are you doing to the street?

    Construction Worker: We're fixing it! What the hell does it look like?

    Bill Foster: Two days ago, it was fine. You're telling me the street fell apart in two days?

    Construction Worker: [sarcastically] Well, I guess so.

    Bill Foster: Pardon me, but that's bullshit. I want to know what's wrong with the street. See, I don't think anything's wrong with the street. I think you're just trying to justify your inflated budgets.

    Construction Worker: What are you, nuts?

    Bill Foster: No, I know how it works. If you don't spend the money you have projected this year, they won't give you the same amount next year. Now I want you to admit there's nothing wrong with the street!

    Construction Worker: Fuck you, pal! Hah?

    Bill Foster: [pulls up his shirt revealing a pistol tucked under his belt] You're not going to hold us hostage here with these yellow lights and all these big trucks.

    Construction Worker: Look, I'm just here to keep people from falling in, that's all.

    Bill Foster: I want to hear it from you. What's wrong with the street?

    Construction Worker: I don't know, I really don't know. I mean, I think it's a sewer job.

    Bill Foster: You're lying. What's wrong with the street?

    Construction Worker: Nothing.

    Bill Foster: I knew it. See, I knew it was fine. But I'll give you something to fix.

    [he pulls a rocket launcher out of his bag]

    Bill Foster: Here!

  • Sergeant Prendergast: She'd got it into her head that I'd been killed, so when I got home she thought I was a ghost and I had to chase her around the house!
