    It's an epic subject, and it's a bit rushed now. Love the pair of Cagney and...

    Eddie is so pitiful, the goddess in his heart turned out to be a green tea bitch. (Correctly) Bogart's surrender to show weakness was a laugh. Gladys's acting is amazing! Compared with the noir films of the year, this film is too main theme, and the song and dance drama is too long, deducting one...

    The title of the film of the 1920s is more appropriate. For showing an era, the capacity of this film is a little smaller. Fortunately, James Cagney's aura is strong enough. Overall, it looks good, and the ending is a typical disillusionment. The ending, but still lacks some details, and the use of narration also damages the original pattern of the...

    The personal epic of many years is displayed at a super fast pace. The defect is that it is limited to "small circles", and the historical background can only be explained by narration. But the personal emotional foreshadowing is consistent and very moving. Both heroines, and even the male lead, deserve a few tears from the audience for them. Also one of the prototype stories, like Boogie...

    8.3 Ain't it funny how our tastes have always run the same? Ever since the first time we met. I can just picture you living in the suburbs, working in a garden, raising flowers and...

    It retains all the elements of the Warners Gangster movie, and it is almost the best looking one. The moral exhortation at the end of this genre is always so catchy, with Eddie telling Harry that "someone is building a new world," a defense of order that doesn't feel like a common-sense statement from an unstoppable hero. But no way, this is the Hollywood genre. And in Cagney's day, Bogart was just a humble...

    The ups and downs of small people in big times (war, Prohibition, Great Depression), "he used to be a big shot". Fake news narration. Not just gangsters, but writing 20s history (no wonder Marty loves it). The weight of the two female characters makes the snobby and masculine gangster theme more tender and melancholy. The ending design of dying in front of the...

    It is not a human being who kills a penniless person, but the background of the great era. It is not a gun that kills, but a woman, who is able to bend and use it. In the end, there is no escape from...

    worthy for my liquor and my tear

    This film is worthy of my 10-year-old bottle of Canadian Club Blend. I was holding the empty whisky bottle and watched with tears in my eyes.

    Raoul Walsh, one of the 36 founders of the academy, has seen his sleepy nights at Motianling, the bloody battle of annihilating bandits and the shroud of...

    villain love

    The film portrays the emotional line of the gangsters as a minority in society. We can actually see that james' love for periscilla is that even though the girl finally got married and had children, when she went to find evidence to help her, james still went to help her, and sacrificed her own for...

The Roaring Twenties quotes

  • George Halley: [while running across the battlefield ablaze with an artillery barrage in progress, Eddie has just dived into a gaping shell hole for cover. He practically lands on top of another soldier who is already in the crater] Now, do you always come into a rat hole like that?

    Eddie Bartlett: What do you want me to do, knock?

  • George Halley: [In the shell hole: Eddie offers a cigarette to George. He in turn takes it, and then picks out bugs that apparently infest everything] Ah, look at that. Them cooties are gettin' desperate: they're feedin' off tobacco.

    Eddie Bartlett: How much can a cootie smoke?
