What impressed me the most was the line of a black man who appeared only once, which shocked me.

The classic gangster story that Coppola can never get tired of filming, plus the singing and dancing of the famous Cotton Club, the climax of the second half of the story and the cross-editing of tap dancing are really amazing (of course, this is already a side dish for Coppola). Jazz + Blues + Chinese clothing in the 20s and 1930s, several actors are young and beautiful, Cage fans are so virtuous! And it is very interesting to hear the song in Fu Lu Shuang Batian a few days ago. .

A hybrid of gangster films and musical films in the 1930s, Coppola tried to revive an era of mud and sand with numerous group portraits. The two lines alternate within the Cotton Club with little crossover, culminating in a parallel montage of tap dancing and shooting (an old Godfather trick), culminating in a train station bridging the line. The perspective is warm, and the friendship between the Irish boss and the Frenchman also makes people smile, but the whole is a little boring. The only good thing is that the jazz music is mostly dubbed, so I can't feel it at all.
