      The dark side of human nature

      The article recommended by the undergraduate law teacher, unfortunately I only read it today. Before commenting, I would like to praise the soundtrack of the movie, which is very good, and fully expresses the inner struggle and impulse of the characters, but unfortunately I can't find the source. I have always believed that everyone has two sides of character, but I was still shocked and a little puzzled to see the scene where the father killed his son at the end. But after thinking about it...

      It's better to stand with the angels before the devil knows you're dead

      ●The tragedy of the younger brother as a homosexual in the film lies in sacrificing the sexual rights of a female compatriot to maintain an abnormal relationship with gay men for money and drugs. This relationship spreads to his brothers, parents, and wives. Although he says he wants to be himself, his fate seems to be doomed by disorientation.

      ●The downfall of the younger brother is that he cares too much about other people's evaluation of him and lives in vanity. He is ultimately...

      Watch Before the Devil Knows You're Dead

      My super idol Sidney Lumet's new film in 2007, the 83-year-old guy is still tossing, in the 1970s and 1980s, the prolific Lumet has filmed "Twelve Angry Men" and "Hot Afternoon". The super classic, it is said that a lot of low-quality films have also been made. Compared with "Convicted Me" in 2006, to be honest, "Before the Devil Knows You Die" disappointed me a bit, and didn't make me feel the exciting "Lu's Charm".

      The quality of the master is extraordinary

      There is no doubt that this is a typical Lumet-style film! The classic masterpieces of the old man in his early years "Twelve Angry Men" and "Murder on the Orient Express" reflect his ability to portray the characters' subtle psychology. In this film , this point can still be carried forward. Andy's boldness and directness, Hank's hesitation and submissiveness, are all vividly displayed. In addition, since the story needs to turn the perspective from multiple characters, in order to avoid...

      The Sorrows of the Little People

      Ethan portrays Hank as an underdog very well, and with his obscene, flickering eyes, he fully deduces the inner state of the little man. Hank must have been the darling of the family since he was a child. He is simple, cowardly, innocent, but kind-hearted. His only wish is to be able to stand upright in front of his ex-wife and friends, and to be able to use money to give his daughter a solid love. Real place.
          However, a small person is a small person, without great wisdom, let alone...

      In fact, this is a main theme film. The film tries to tell us through extreme cases: drug use and cheating are not conducive to social harmony and family stability; drug trafficking will be punished; guns must be strictly controlled; family education must be paid attention to since childhood Yes; the police have to go through the back door, otherwise they can only rely on their own hands to solve the case; the doctor is a fortress with red envelopes, otherwise no one will find out if he is...

    Evaluation action

    The first new part of "Before the Devil Knows You're Dead" spreads out suspense through the background of the characters, making the audience immersed in the surprise of this absurd case, and the second half of the pen is turned to discuss the family and affection. Unspeakable addiction. Although the film is not a court-themed movie that director Sidney Lumet is good at, he still tells this Coen brothers-style black crime story...
