On the importance of naming

Many film reviews have been misled by a crappy literal translation, 21 bridges, what the hell? This is not a movie about bridges, but a story about the infernal affairs of a policeman on Manhattan Island, New York. Manhattan Island is connected to the outside world through 21 bridges. 21Bridges is one of Manhattan's landmarks. The translation of the Hong Kong film title into "Manhattan Concludes Violence" is more accurate and vivid. But it would be even more perfect if it were translated into the Manhattan seal "Leopard". Is the male protagonist the Black Panther?

To give an inappropriate example, a woman’s English name is "Sherry". You can translate it into Shirley or a beauty. Why bother to call her real name Lao Rongzhi and Nong Cuihua?

    (5.0/10) Three problems: 1. Perspective, the whole night chase focuses on the killer and the USB stick, the protagonist is passively excluded. 2. Instead of solving problems and revealing suspense at the climax, it uses a bland ending where the audience already knows everything. 3. The 21 bridges in Manhattan have a general relationship to their content.

    Boseman passed away last year. At the age of 43, this black panther man was determined and unyielding. Looking at him on the screen today, he felt that he should have a lot of things to do. This image is the last light and shadow of his life. .

21 Bridges quotes

  • Hawk: What? You think I fucked you because someone somewhere forgot a zero? Our business doesn't attract a lot of detail oriented motherfuckers.

  • Michael: One million.

    Hawk: Ha! Pesos? Yo, I love it when fools strike gold but don't know the market price.

    Michael: 50 keys cuts into 200. Going rate for a cut key in Manhattan is 32Gs. That means after a million to us, that's still 5.4 million to you.

    Ray: He *is* one of those detail oriented motherfuckers.
