Dog days afternoon

For Sonny, it was a hellish afternoon. Inadequate planning and the lack of money in the bank, the robbery that should have ended in ten minutes became an old lady's foot-binding drama, accompanied by a dog-day afternoon. It's hot and dry, and everyone feels crazy.

The best original screenplay of the Oscars is not for nothing. The movie gods have restored the real events at that time. Except for some changes in the plot, the characters are all perfect in terms of modeling, two simple robbers, the impact of homosexual topics, and the contradictions between the American police and the people. In the end, the well-planned rescue plan, this perfect realistic script, is really a pity not to make a movie.

I personally don't like narrative movies. Although this movie has many elements, the plot has no so-called ups and downs. In fact, it should make people feel tired. The reason why I feel good after watching it is because Al Pacino's acting skills are too explosive. Of course, our brother Fredo's acting skills are also very impressive. No wonder the prototype character Sonny said that Al Pacino and Kaiser restored them.

Class conflicts, social discussions about homosexuality, and even a little mention of racial issues, the two-hour movie integrates these topics well, and does not give people the feeling of extreme compression of the current movie, natural and gentle , From time to time, I make a few jokes. In the evening of April, watching such a movie is really suitable. The next movie must be seen by smelling fragrance and knowing women.

    Al's performance should indeed be affirmed, but I still feel a little bit too much. Remember Travolta said in another movie, What if he started killing hostages right away? No mercy, no quarter... BTW, actually, I do not like HAPPY ENDING.

    [Taipei Golden Horse Film Festival Screening] The first time I saw it, I was surprised that the first half was so humorous and funny, the theater was full of joy, and the robbers' behavior was naive. And the female teller is hilarious and sarcastic. Issues such as the Vietnam War trauma, media ugliness, and queer communities that have been addressed and revealed have added depth. The ending is not difficult to guess, but the second half is too protracted, just like the hot weather in the film. Al Pacino is great
