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

"I am not a dancer. I am a pimp and a thief and a gambler. that's what I do. I don't have no talent to dance. I can't get my foot into cotton club where my people, black people, are the stars. Why?...

This film is enough to explain how Coppola went from brilliant in the 1970s to bleak in the 1980s. The changing times are an important background factor. Under the domination of neoconservatism, the United States strongly advocates risk-taking and radical rejection of traditional nostalgia. The main theme of the 70 culture is quickly marginalized, and the popular leaders are not immune. In the film, Richard Gill (Italian) must eventually come together with Shorty (You left) and Gao Lao (French). This is a League of Eighty Losers! Coppola expressed his dissatisfaction and vigilance with the Reagan era through character identities and camp combinations; however, from the perspective of film quality, it was not very successful. Mixing multiple types, the style is difficult to integrate, is it said to be gangsters plus singing and dancing? But there is no exaggerated exaggeration of enthusiasm; is it talking about love and perseverance? The sparks of the hero and heroine are only scattered, far less eye-catching and eye-catching than the mottled black light and shadow projected on them. It should be said that Coppola is not a director who is good at imagining and mobilizing emotions in the dimension of comedy and romance. But this film just uses it as the main direction of style, and even raises a glass to celebrate the "happy ending". It seems more like exposing its shortness?

Weak gangster films are not persuasive, but they have created a lot of love narrative routines in Hong Kong-style gangster films.
