Aftermath of the night view of life

The last Shanghai Film Festival movie

I heard that it was a bit bad before I saw it. Well, I think the script is a bit bad, and Daben’s performance is just like that, but the style is still very handsome. The theme of the film is not clear and the narrative lacks focus. Is it to talk about a person's legendary life, is it to talk about the cruelty of the rivers and lakes, talk about human nature, talk about betrayal, or love? It has everything and lacks focus. The character of Daben doesn't have any unique personality, and the description of the underworld makes people feel that it is not strong enough. Just like looking at the Langya List, many things are more like the obscenity of an outsider, without the accent of a storyteller.

The gangsters or rivers and lakes that I understand are very romantic and cruel, like two can only live one, like a city that never sleeps, like a star cowboy.

Two can only live in one, and the finger can be broken the first time it can be broken the second time, and it can be broken the third time.

Different gangs have different characteristics in the city that never sleeps, Cui Hu, Yuan Chenggui, Fuchun, and Liu Jianyi in the middle, Xia Mei's love and betrayal.

The ultimate romance of men in Star Cowboys.

The film festival is over...

It has been raining, but a very beautiful week~Although it is a short time, it is a memorable week~

I hope I can have such a good time in the future.

    Big Ben's self-directed and self-acted self-healing film, the degree of completion is okay, that is, the rising water adds to the halo of the protagonist.

    Big Ben has nothing wrong with this movie! It's a waste of money to be able to pay on credit! Although the plot is not as exciting as the previous "Robbers in the City", the narrative is still steady and steady, and the car chase and gun battle are still very realistic and practical! Lolita played by the supporting role Elle Fanning and Dion, a friend of Big Ben's side, are well portrayed, and the buddy's acting style is reminiscent of Joe in "Mafia 2" back then!

Live by Night quotes

  • Maso Pescatore: [to Digger] It's a hard thing for a man to have a son this stupid.

  • [last lines]

    Joe Coughlin: [narrating] On Saturdays I take my son to the shows.

    [Hitler]

    Joe Coughlin: Some little German guy is making trouble overseas. I don't believe they will fight another war though. No percentage in it... My son loved the show. It was about an honest sheriff in a dirty town. All he could talk about was getting his own badge when he grew up.

    Joe Coughlin: [in the theater to his little boy sitting] That's my brother. That was my brother's name. That's your uncle.

    Joe Coughlin: [narration continues] In the afternoon we fish for red-fins. One day my son asked me "Where is heaven in the sky?"I told him what Loretta told to me. "This is heaven, right here. We are in it now."
