      Dog Day Afternoon--Absurd Comedy and Authentic Acting

      There are many kinds of jokes in the world. Some are funny in words, a cold joke, you can laugh for 5 seconds. Some are funny in behavior, funny performances, which made us laugh for 10 seconds. I just watched this movie. The actors were serious, I always felt that the title must be wrong, how could it be a comedy, and later I found that when absurdity and real acting skills are combined, serious comedy is the most...

      flag never falls

      Huang Curly's first sentence seemed to set a flag, and Sonny's nervous action of taking out the gun from the gift box and throwing the box made people suspicious of the robbery. Thanks to earning some face as a robber in the process of searching for supplies, but after receiving a call from the police, he was a little more counseled. "Did you come prepared for this robbery, or did you have an idea?" She couldn't even answer the question from the female staff. Haha, the first half of the...

      If the ending is changed, it will become a classic handed down

      Black humor, sarcasm, simply brilliant.

      At the end, the partner was sacrificed but ignorant, which can be described as the saddest thief in history. In fact, if the male protagonist was shot to death by random guns in the end, the irony would be stronger, and it would definitely be more classic. It's a pity, it's a pity.

      Al Pacino's performance is impeccable, the actor is the actor, the whole body is full of drama, and he has to face different opponents and different...

      Lumet is very good at creating a narrative in a narrow space, which can be seen in his "Twelve Angry Men". There is no doubt about Al Pacino's performance, and he was deeply impressed by his roar, which is very similar to "Smell the Fragrance and Know a Woman". Dog Day is largely a depiction of the psyche, like the western film "Noon," about hot, repressed, restless, and out of control emotions. The director created a grand whole Stockholm syndrome here. The crime of robbery is like a trapped...

      The story that shows society through events is delicate and moving. This kind of story is often a comedy that begins with a tragic ending, the plot slowly advances and squeezes, and the emotional tension erupts. I remember the feeling of rewatching "Twelve Angry Men" before. The director's control of the group play and the scheduling of the dialogue shots are perfect, and Pacino's penetrating performance made the atmosphere tense to the end,...

      Soft-hearted robbers have turned crime into a farce, and the cruelty and helplessness of life has made all hostages suffer from Stockholm Syndrome, and if I were one of them, I would certainly be no exception. At that time, al pacino was young and in high spirits. Unlike all of his crime movies, it's just that what happens in 12 hours makes you feel more mortified than watching movies about 12...

      Dog Day Afternoon, the best translation should really be "Afternoon of Dog Day". Based on a true story, the worst bank robbery in American history. Sidney Lumet has once again demonstrated his ability to grab an audience in a small set, and Al Pacino is almost Oscar-worthy every time he performs, but this is probably his best performance until he turns 40...
