Dog Day Afternoon (1975) Hot-day afternoon comedy crime film with shallow comedy about deep seriousness. The economic crisis, the Attica incident, the Vietnam War... Even if you just watch this movie, it won't let you down, the comedy is great, the editing is great, and the lines are funny.

A good movie is sometimes a record of the times, perfectly condensing the times into a video of more than an hour. This is the case with this film, a very faithful record of America around 1975, and the background revealed will benefit those who want to know about this era.

We can feel the anxiety and overwhelm of people at that time from the movie.

    an absurd robbery, a unreal dream, a dreadful afternoon, a merciless society. A dream that doesn't come true.

    Lumei sharply sees the class essence behind real events. Every time Sonny negotiates, it is a show. The entrance of the bank is a stage for the whole world to see. Everyone expects to see a martial artist or an old clown, but unexpectedly, they see a mortal who pretends to be a robber. He is not even an actor, and only performs on the stage. What a frivolous thing. And who dares to laugh at mediocrity, or say, people like themselves? No wonder Sonny gets sympathy on and off the screen...
