Model of violence

Sometimes when seeing Uncle Martin's true face, it is difficult to associate this thick eyebrow, big-eyed, kind, and even a little melancholic uncle with those dark, depressive, foul-spoken, and flesh-and-blood movies.
After paying tribute to Silent Hill and The Shining in "Shutter Island", Uncle Martin brought out "Atlantic Empire." Bootlegging, gangsters, sex scenes, violence, the kind-hearted old Martin is not merciless. Throughout the nostalgic old songs, it opens the prelude to the era of American gangsters when Capone was still a younger brother. The characters are extremely powerful, and in the vulgar F sound, I think of "CASINO" in 1995. At such a young age, he can still maintain a heart of angry youth and the street. Violence is always accompanied by inexplicable expectations and beauty. Uncle Martin's underworld aesthetics has been perfected. When can I read his autobiography? What kind of mentality is needed to maintain this excitement, constantly pursuing the graceful posture and timing when the blood splashes.

    (8/10) Gangster stories in the era of forbidden sprinkles (after World War I to before World War II). It is best to understand the various gangster characters before watching, otherwise you will be confused. Luciano is the familiar cat-touching godfather, Capone is the most famous gang leader, and Tsui Hark spoofed him (translated as "Capang" in Hong Kong and Taiwan), and the two of them haven't played much in the first season. Personally, I like the political line in it, but the emotional line is a bit unbearable (especially American sex scenes).

    The song is so good, the scenery is so beautiful!
