"The New Three Old Gunmen"

The title of the film is a bit confusing to read. After checking Baidu, I found out that this film was originally shot in 1979, and now it is remade, so I have to call it "new" three old shooters. It is not surprising that Hollywood bought out the script of "Infernal Affairs" in Hong Kong at a high price in the past two years. It seems that Hollywood is also facing a script shortage.

The film is about three retired old men. The night scene is bleak. The company goes bankrupt, is confiscated by the bank, and the pension is not paid. So on a whim, he planned to rob a bank. It was a success, and everyone was happy at the end.

The movie of robbing a bank is, of course, a thrilling and even a little scary police and gangster movie. But in this film, the whole process of planning and action is completed in a humorous atmosphere.

I know two of the three old men: Morgan Freeman and Michael Caine .

Morgan Freeman : Famous old black actor, I have seen his "The Shawshank Redemption", "Seven Deadly Sins", "The Comet Hits the Earth", etc. The best one is "The Shawshank Redemption", the worst one It's "The Comet Hits the Earth", in which he plays the President of the United States, no matter how you look at it, he still looks like an old black slave.

Michael Caine : He is also good at playing middle-aged and elderly roles. "Inception", "Ace Agent", "There's Always a Sun", "Now You See Me", "Seamless " and so on. My favorite is "Seamless", which fully expresses the unhurried revenge of an old cleaner.

There was also an old man I didn't know very well, Alan Arkin . The face is a little familiar.

There are quite a few hilarious dialogues in the film, here are a few excerpts:

Kane: You asked me to buy that rubbish. You said that this fund has infinite potential to rise.

Bank loan officer: I just said there is a possibility.

Kane: Can I speak to someone else?

Bank loan officer: who to change?

Kane: Be smarter.

At this time, a robbery case suddenly occurred, and everyone followed the robber's order to get down on the cat's stomach.

Kane: I don't have much money, you can take it.

Robber: No, it is our duty to take care of the elderly.

Kane points to the loan officer: He doesn't think so.

Robber: Are you trying to rob the old man's house? Give me your wallet!

Loan officer: Well, I have a lot of money here, and I also have a fitness card. Let’s take it too. I haven’t used it anyway.

As soon as the robbers left, Kane found that the loan officer's pants were wet, and reminded him that urinary incontinence could be cured by taking medicine.

The three old men were spending time in the cafe, and the waiter of the coffee shop came (also a half-old milf) and said: We have half a cucumber and blueberry crisps left here, but they are a bit stale. What should I order?

Kane: Not today.

Freeman : We're losing weight.

Akin: And we're out of money.

Waiter: Well, then don't stay here all day long.

Freeman went to see a doctor, and the doctor said to him, "It is useless to do dialysis in your current condition. You should transplant a kidney as soon as possible."

Freeman : Okay, I'll look it up on eBay.

Ajin taught a fat kid to play the saxophone. He gritted his teeth and listened to his grandson. Finally, he couldn't help it: God, stop playing! You're getting worse every time. It's a miracle, how did you do it?

The fat kid hugged his grandpa and said: I want to be a dancer, like Beyonce.

Akin: That's none of my business. I'm going to go to your grandmother and ask her to give me the cost of teaching you at this stage.

Ah Jin found the old lady: he was rude than slaughtering pigs, and I insisted on teaching him, which is really a fearless spirit.

Old lady: Yes, listening to him practice next to his room was a real pain.

Akin: And I'm still sitting across from him, so the effect can be imagined.

The three go to a fast food restaurant to celebrate Freeman's birthday.

Ah Jin took a sip of the rice: This corn has to be kept for several years, right?

Freeman: Is this corn? I thought it was...

Don't pick it up, let's see for yourself.

For a long time, "the one who steals the hook kills the one who steals the country" has been an unbreakable truth. But another truth is also saying "rabbit bites in a hurry". In any country, social justice is a must. Anyone can have a hard time. The problem is that some people live a miserable life, while others spend a lot of time. Not suffering from poverty but suffering from inequality. After a long time, the old, clumsy and incompetent rabbits will bite.

After watching this movie, I also kind of want to grab that one.

Relative to serious movies, such light-hearted films are also good to watch. Each has its own taste, depending on your mood and state. After the seriousness, watching this kind of light-hearted film is also a pleasure, and you can also learn the spirit of revolutionary heroism and the team spirit of petty bourgeoisie, which is very good!

  • Joe: These banks practically destroyed this country. They crushed a lot of people's dreams, and nothing ever happened to them. We three old guys, we hit a bank. We get away with it, we retire in dignity. Worst comes to the worst, we get caught, we get a bed, three meals a day, and better health care than we got now.

  • Mitzi: You seein' anybody?

    Agent Cooper: I'm married with two kids.

    Mitzi: Take my number. Things happen.
