    The gangster films of the 1930s were fast-paced and no urine spots. A tour of the angry 20s, the promulgation and repeal of Prohibition accompanied the rise and fall of the gang. Cagney's 1930s gangster film interpretation history has come to a successful...

    I can actually get this kind of gentle retrospect that is destined to surpass the times. Just as "Forrest Gump" is not "Easy Rider," this movie is not "Scarface." Gentle like Ford's "Green Mountain and Green Valley" (˶‾᷄ ⁻̫ ‾᷅˵) It does not use the background to set off the story, but very cleverly designs the characters and the story to express the emotion of the era. Heartbroken, really. It was absolutely conscious to have Bogart be the villain of the old order, let his son play a cowboy, and...

    I think the best thing is not to refer to the times, but to create a successful bootlegger who drinks milk, has a bottom line, and attaches great importance to love and righteousness. The former killed his partner, the latter killed...

    The history of the decline and fall of gangsters without any epic taste, but rather focuses on individuals. The fate of small and medium-sized people in turbulent times is very beautiful; it has become a big shot of glory for two times, but the next time he fell, he never got up...

    Everything you need to know about the 1920s is in this film. "Little people in a big era + ten-year time span = poignancy" is a very useful formula. The male protagonist is a survivor who is at the mercy of the times. He has no support or sympathy. He dies because of love and seeks benevolence. Gladys George's character is...

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?
