As a result, I delayed reading the classics for 24 hours without any reason, and it was time to watch "Enemy of the State" with this feeling. And looking at the public enemy of the country is to see the blood boiling in the first half, and after the interruption, there is actually less expectation and curiosity.
Compared with different types of cheating and ghostly movies, the reason why I like this movie more is really good reasons to strive for it.
Reason 1: Playing with complex storylines between applause, it is not tedious and cumbersome, and it can completely attract the audience's attention.
Let's first take a look at the character relationship diagram of "Two Smoking Guns".
Gang of Four: Tom playing cards and his three buddies, Soap, Eddie, and Bacon. This is the main character of the film. Losing 500,000 was pursued by debt collectors, so he had to go out and rob.
Debt collectors: Harry's long-term hire. On the day of the robbery, 1.3 million in cash and two antique shotguns were successfully intercepted. As for who snatched it from, it didn't matter to him. The important thing is that in addition to the £500,000 he gave Harry, he also made an unexpected £800,000.
Harry: The old-school gambler and the boss looking for antiques.
Barry: Harry's thug, got two stupid thieves to steal antique shotguns.
Stupid thief: Stole the stolen one to Barry, but accidentally sold an antique shotgun of unknown value to Fatty Nick. So after the incident, the two thieves found Nick, and then they found the den of the Gang of Four, and later, hehe, this one has to be watched slowly by watching a movie.
Nick: The Gang of Four's errands, supplying guns for the robbery and liaising with the "moveers" -- that's the jargon, which means the boss who takes the loot. One can imagine who Nick sold the antique shotgun to.
Lorry, the big drug lord: the boss behind the drug gang (repeatedly called "a Snow White and three little scientists"), the key is that he is also the "moveer" contacted by Nick, a "noble man" who is willing to pay big money to buy drugs .
Neighbors of the Gang of Four: A typical small triad team, the boss is actually a fool at first glance. Design to rob Snow White and the little scientist's poison den. The seemingly seamless plan was overheard by the Gang of Four who lived next door. OK, the relationship between the characters has returned to the original point.
In fact, the plot of the film can be classified into three clues, one is gambling, the other is robbery, and the third is antique shotguns. It is these three events that assign the above roles to appropriate positions, and then perform a farce that is closely related. It can be said to be the best portrayal of "the mantis catches the cicada and the oriole behind".
This kind of idea is not to the point where you can't even think of it. It's amazing that a story with many characters and complex relationships can be made into a 110-minute movie. It's a drastic act of genius. It is easy to be as lyrical as Zhang Yimou, but it takes more courage and wisdom to tell an interlocking story. From the script structure to the film editing, to the dialogue, all are respected.
Reason 2: Black humor, cold belly laugh.
The eloquent London accent is out of place in the movie, but it sounds like a brisk smile. I don't intend to imitate, but like the dialogue in "Trainspotting", the simple, beautiful, soft attack is an unexpected pleasure.
You like the tall man in the drug cartel to bring the drug addict back to his old nest, and you, who have gone back and forth with the little boss, asked me and answered, "Do you think that you won't cause suspicion if you walk down the street with a bag of fertilizer and a drug addict in your arms?"—— Let's be immersive together, I Like fertilizer and planting marijuana; I like every nonsense conversation between a debt collector and my son, and a hooligan football player in real life actually pretends to enlighten and educate teenagers, not bad, not bad; I like the little underworld The team leader was nonsensical when interrogating his subordinates in the room. He scolded and said that it was the neighbor who robbed him, and then slammed his subordinate's head against the wall. An accident happened, and he gave them the answer directly. It turned out that it was really the neighbor who robbed! I also like the dialogue about the "Iron Gate", "Is the iron gate really not closed?" "Never closed." I asked and answered repeatedly, only when I arrived at the scene did I find that the iron gate was closed, hahaha, welcome to appreciate , welcome to smile.
Mixed in with the dialogue to show off is the scene design.
I couldn't help but laugh as the gang of four chirped around at the counter of Papa Tom's bar.
When a Snow White and three little scientists are stuck on the sofa, their eyes are dull, they lose money lazily, fantasize about wiping oil, lazily pick up the receiver and lazily open the door, I smirk and slap the table .
When the small triad team was locked in the iron cage and was at a loss, the boss was strong and calm and smashed the foot of the door opener, and then the drug gang threw away the air gun (note, it is the air gun, oh, hit the neck with an ouch When I came out and surrendered, I wanted to shed a tear for the person who opened the door who was injured and collapsed to the ground until the end of the movie, but unfortunately I burst out laughing.
When the drug addict who had been half asleep suddenly stood up and carried the laser gun to shoot, I thought that the small triad team was about to be wiped out. The bullets were finally shot, and half of the bad guys were not swept away. die. It is conceivable that the drug addicts are sleepwalking even with shooting! In the end, the sleepwalking girl was KOed by the boss of the little underworld and got it.
The most unfortunate one is the uncle of the traffic police. K was knocked unconscious because of a ticket, elbowed in the car, and another group of people was beaten again because he hated the police. Have pity on him, he had to come out as an eyewitness to the bloody incident towards the end of the movie.
...
too many jokes. Unending burdens, endless stalks.
Reason 3: The background music is cool and violent. Punk, British rock, heavy metal, and the music that followed, with each further story, became more and more exciting. It doesn't matter if you say this, everyone will listen to it and understand it naturally.
This reminds me of the thunderous countdown drum beat at the opening ceremony of the Beijing Olympic Games. It is urgent and creative. I can't wait for an unknown feast, and my mood is soaring.
Well, that's all I can think of for now.
Fantastic movie, waiting for you to watch too.
