To be honest, this is a typical film where the scene is more important than the plot. Many of the scenes in the film are very beautiful. Some of them are more than enough to be used directly as posters or computer desktops, and the two main actors in the film are Antonio Bender. Lars and Johnny Depp are also the kind of super-sportsmen who can be appreciated for a long time in a freeze frame, coupled with the rugged Mexican exoticism, and the melancholic or unrestrained music embellished in them, want to make the film It's hard to look ugly!
Of course, these beautiful scenes are beautiful, but they don’t produce much chemical reaction when they are put together. The storyline of the film appears chaotic and disorderly under the impression of these gorgeous scenes. The original uncomplicated story may be due to the director’s desire. There are too many things to be presented, and the results become more complicated and chaotic as you speak. The transitions and connections in many places seem far-fetched. Originally developing under this situation would make the film fall into the ranks of bad films, but as written above, the scenes and actors saved the film and brought a mediocre story that was almost pushed into a more mediocre state by the director. Slightly improved some grades, so that the audience has a reason to continue watching, of course, there is also a great contribution to the director in the scene. It seems that the visual art of film can sometimes save some mediocre stories.
I slightly guess whether this film can be regarded as the main theme of Mexico. The president is in danger, the people from the rivers and lakes draw their swords to help, fight the gangs, and avenge themselves, especially the protagonist Banderas's answer to the president: "I am the son of Mexico." And the protagonist kisses the Mexican national emblem at the end. It can really help the Mexican government, which is confronting drug dealers in reality, boost morale and morale, and play a role in inspiring the people.
After watching the movie, I checked on the Internet and found that the movie and the movie that my friend told me at the time might really be two stories, and that one is probably the "Trilogy of Murder" shot by basically the same class. The film also has a little connection, and I feel that this film should be a sequel to "Trilogy of Murder".
Finally, Johnny Depp is too enchanting. It gives me the feeling that his limelight in the film has already overwhelmed the real protagonist Banderas.
