On the desolate streets of New York, the boss was shot under Leon's nose, and all his righteous indignation and grievances were ignited in an instant.

Immediately afterwards, it was the process of investigating the case of a lonely hero. I met a down-and-out engineer and a beautiful lawyer. He spied on the conspiracy of the capitalist Moses. Finally, it was no surprise that the three became one. They are a family, but they represent different interest groups. .

The male protagonist has always been outside the story and outside the city, but he gradually enters the play, and the final ending is sitting with the female protagonist at the door of the suburban villa, watching the sunset side by side, like love.

The scriptwriter incorporates the characteristics of the times. The male protagonist of the film has become an orphan with obsessive-compulsive disorder, the most popular protagonist of disadvantaged groups in Europe and the United States. The female protagonist has become a mixed race, and love naturally has to break through the boundaries of race and aesthetics. The villain is still cold-blooded and ruthless ambition. Family.

The jazz performance in the bar is a scene I especially like. The plot is a little procrastinated, but it pays great attention to details.

  • Lionel Essrog: Frank told me once, if you're up against someone bigger than you, someone you can't beat toe to toe, make 'em think you respect their size, and then cut a deal that lets you walk out in one piece.

    Lionel Essrog: [narrating] Frank always used to say, "Tell your story walkin', pal." He was more philosophical than your average gumshoe, but he liked to do his talkin' on the move, so here's how it all went down. I got somethin' wrong with my head. That's the first thing to know.

    Lionel Essrog: [real life] If!

    Lionel Essrog: [narrating] It's like having glass in the brain. I can't stop pickin' things apart... twistin' 'em around, reassembling 'em. Words and sounds, especially. It's like an itch that has to be scratched.

    Gilbert Coney: [about a sweater snag] Quit pullin' at it! You're gonna make a fuckin' mess out of things.

    Lionel Essrog: [real life] I got threads in my heads. I got threads in my heads! I got threads in my heads, man!

    Lionel Essrog: [narrating] And I twitch a lot. It's hard to miss. It makes me look like a goddamn spastic, but if I try to hold it back, it just makes it worse.
