To be honest, before watching this movie, I didn’t know it was Scorsese’s work. When I saw the title “Casino City”, I thought it was a brilliant gambling skill, and I finally made a lot of money in the casino. , but after Martin Scorsese and Robert De Niro in the pink suit appeared in the opening credits, I knew what the movie was supposed to do.
Sure enough, it lived up to my expectations. There are more than 400 FUCK sentences in the whole film. You must know that "Ruffian" Quentin's "Pulp Fiction" only has 274 sentences. The film is nearly three hours long, but it will not make people lose their interest in watching the film. Scorsese found the original cast of "Goodfellas", Joe Pesci is still the crazy gangster killer, and Robert De Niro is still the prudent but ruthless gang leader. The younger brother is also the younger brother who was ordered to kill.
After a certain amount of viewing, you can actually know who the director is by simply watching a movie style. In Scorsese's gang, money is always as easy as running water. There are countless beauties, but they are just decorations on the cake. The gangster brothers are affectionate, the police seem to be absent, but revenge will always happen, Scorsese won't let the law try the gangster, he let the gangster judge himself, whether it's the big guy behind the scenes or the leader who kills without blinking an eye , they will all die at the hands of their colleagues. The so-called "come out, you will have to pay it back sooner or later!", the consequence of arrogance is always revenge.
Sam is a good gambler. He has never lost since the age of 15. He was later promoted as a casino manager. Here he cleverly drilled into the gap of the judicial system and managed the casino shrewdly. He made everyone forget themselves in the casino. The money, lost in a few days here, the shrewd Japanese gambler wanted to win his 2 million, and Sam played tricks on his private jet, so he had to lose 3 million in the casino. It seems that the future is bright, there will always be endless money and countless women. His Nicky, who grew up with him, is ruthless, and he will kill anyone who angers and hinders him, no matter who it is, no matter what means.
Nicky doesn't take the law seriously, and his arrogant character also makes Sam get burned. The more disasters, the more loopholes, and the appearance of Ginger is even worse. The big guys were arrested and jailed, and their old men still wore oxygen masks in prison. It was ridiculous and ironic. Nicky was beaten to death by a stick, and Ginger was injected with too much drug. She died in a short period of time. With Sam's 2 million yuan, only more than 2,000 yuan was left when he died. On the contrary, Sam, who was suffering from internal and external troubles, survived, and he started his old business of betting on football and horses.
Ginger is an old Las Vegas, a frown and a smile are full of intoxicating poison, no man can escape her enchanting, she is not a thousand, but will steal chips in the casino, Sam will use a hammer The hammer broke Lao Qian's hand, but it was love at first sight in front of Ginger. She is not a prostitute but will bury her head in the crotch of her husband's best friend in search of a supporter. Because of the money to marry Sam, she is such an experienced woman, but she can't let go of her pimp friends who are like garbage. It's so elusive.
It must be said that Langsa Stone interprets Ginger very well. There is spirituality in his eyes, a graceful figure, and his blond hair is like waves. Compared with the stunner in "Instinct", which combines sex and violence, Ginger has No less, how should a "bitch" be a "bitch", Langsha Stone just has the ability to hold a man.
Gangster-themed movies have been out of fashion in Hong Kong for many years, not to mention the United States, the largest country in filmmaking. Like a cowboy movie, no one is willing to invest anymore, and the audience will not buy it for a movie that is almost the same. Scorsese's gang has to admit that it is a classic. It can be called a gang epic. Seth's remake of "Infernal Affairs" is really punching to the end, shooting wildly, and motherfuck flying all over the sky. The prosperity and fantasy on the casino, the beauty and the banknotes in the montage of the final casino demolition, are all empty flowers and illusions. "For a person who goes into a casino, he will bet bigger and bigger, because when he wins 10,000, what he sees is not a win of 10,000, but a loss of 90,000."
