"Mangerhorn" is plain and unremarkable, like a tasteless one. Al Pacino has properly interpreted the character and form of the characters, but the narrative of the film is very weak. This judgment was not made because of the weak drama of the film. Many of the director's previous films played down the drama of the plot, focusing on describing the state and moment, and the plot progressed slowly. In this "Mangerhorn", he still focuses on the details and enhances the atmosphere, but the structure is a bit top-heavy. The recording of the characters accounted for 80% of the proportion. The audience expects the transformation of the characters, but the filming is less, rushed, symbolic, and there is no accumulation of good elements. There is also a problem with the rhythm. The fate of the characters has not been advanced for a long time, and the ending comes too fast and a bit too smooth. To sum up, the movie-watching experience is probably: when I am tired of watching, I suddenly feel confused
