The journey from bully to prophet

Malik, a 19-year-old Arab boy, was jailed for petty robbery. When he was imprisoned, he was devoid of possessions, looked pure, and acted as an idiot. Because of his weakness, he was spotted by the Italian gang boss in prison, forced to complete the first bloody murder in his life, and became a pony for the gang to bring tea and water. Six years later, when he was released from prison, he was the prophet of the Arab gang that dominated the prison, just like the boss. The French film "The...

Immigrant society is the new soil for gangster films

The Arab-American youth Malik has the slick talent of being obedient on the surface, but in fact being meticulous. Since he came to the university of prison, he was destined to be unable to stay on his own. After the first obligatory murder mission, all his choices were under his control.
　　
The movie is also in a small and cramped space, pushing this guy who doesn't seem to be cruel, and in the thrilling, step by step to the top of the power.

In this space there are Arab...

Birth of the Godfather

I haven't seen such a contemporary French film for a long time, it's rare.
The narrative is succinct, clear, powerful, and finally less chatty.
Reminds me a little bit of Melville, only the shots are less stylized. Relatively simple, but also more popular.
The theme of immigration, ethnicity, is a period feature of this film, and Melville's gang has nothing to do with it.
At the end of the film, the protagonist walks out of prison after his six-year sentence is completed. A...

The rhythm my heart forgets

"The Prophet" won nine French film Caesar Awards, plus the previous Cannes jury award, this French film does have an amazing performance. In the past ten years, from the genre trends of "City of God", "Underworld" to "Gomorrah", gangster films have gone through a process of being based on realism and constantly closely integrating with social life. The heroism of playing with two guns is already a legend of yesterday. The gang keeps pace with the times and moves towards deeper organization,...

Follow the right big brother, choose the right person

Just like France, a country with a high degree of democratization, it is also the case in prisons. The movie exposes such darkness, let alone China. Just like Zhang Ziqiang invites people to join the team and wants to drink snake blood and wine to kill an unrelated person to hand in the name, the protagonist of this play is diligent in learning and practicing his mouth and hiding a knife when he is waiting for mouth work. This beautiful pitch. As long as those people don't try to force him into...

I'm a little weak today. I watched Scarface before. If I want to compare the two movies together, I prefer the latter one. It seems that the so-called underground order in all countries has something in common. Anyone who is forced to do so by the environment will become someone he never imagined. Save a paw for writing...
