Too much singing and dancing can be distracting and disrupt the narrative rhythm. What's worse is that these song and dance shows are extremely expensive, with a total cost of 58 million, twice that of "Once Upon a Time in America" ​​of the same era in the same year, and the money was not spent on the knife's edge. If you put too much stuff in, the gangs are divided into Italian, Irish, Jewish, and black. Black people naturally lead to racial discrimination, and then two groups of love are...

Jazz today is a symbol of sophistication, and record companies all over the world classify it as classical music, but the original jazz was less of a slap in the face and was often associated with sin. In the 1920s when jazz was prosperous, it belonged to rebel music, like Elvis Presley in the 1950s, The Beatles in the 1960s, and Teresa Teng in the 1970s and 1980s. Add three. Coppola's films are full of racism, gangsters and other elements. In particular, several scenes of crime in music have...

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....

The plot is a little weak, and as a gangster film, it feels that there are too many elements of singing and dancing, which disturb the narrative. Diane Lane in this film is so beautiful! There is actually a young Tom Waits.....and the actor who plays Cagney is quite similar to the deity =...

Look good... maybe a little loose, but so classic. The dance numbers are beautifully shot, and the editing is also good. Every director has a Su Meng haha~ Diane Lane is so beautiful that it doesn't look like a real person! Richard Gay is almost bad at acting, dancing is really...

Weak end. The gangster story is not good enough, is it Richard Gere or Nicholas Coppola almost? Anyway, my old Tom, Duke Ai, and Hines don't take the blame. By the way, in addition to the one-time dance and music, the costumes are also a...

The story of little white-faced romance, all the strength is used on jazz and blacks, the epic sense is not strong, and the gangster legend is weak. Diane Lynn's baby fat still hasn't returned, and she almost doesn't recognize...

In the true sense, the interlacing of light and shadow and the jazz moment constitute the most beautiful segment in the film. Technically and even from the perspective of restoring the historical atmosphere, it is successful, but the overly gorgeous dance party weakens the appeal of the relatively "fresh" gangster story, and also whitewashes the contained The tension between gang conflicts and racial discrimination may only be seen in the present, and it is even more conspicuous because of the...
