    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...

The Roaring Twenties quotes

  • George Hally: I always say, when you got a job to do, get somebody else to do it.

  • Panama Smith: I'm sick of watching you try to put out that torch you carry for her with a lot of cheap hooch. Who does the kid look like?

    Eddie Bartlett: Like her.

    Panama Smith: And they got a nice house.

    Eddie Bartlett: Yeah, it's a nice house if you like that kind of a house, but for me, uh, I'll take a hotel anytime. You know that.

    Panama Smith: Me too. 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 kids. Wouldn't that be a laugh.

    Eddie Bartlett: Yeah, wouldn't I look cute?
