      El Angel--This is My Cowardly Courage

      Not the self-talk of a film review. I always read the beginning and can't bear to look down, but this time I finally finished it in one breath. It can be regarded as a kind of courage to face oneself, although it is cowardly courage. Maybe people know that from the beginning of the phrase, you're pretty blond and doomed. But what can it be like? I have always thought that eternal victory is also the result of...

      First of all, the lip color of the male protagonist makes me very interested and beautiful. 8 Second, the director has grasped it very well. I think he shows his pure evil mentality. Can shoot and kill a friend to protect a friend while robbing a milk car it actually doesn't do any good at all but he does it anyway because in his mind killing is the same as eating and sleeping just with a little difference between the special and the normal There is no distinction between good and evil in...

      When Outlaws Are Into a Fairy Tale: Simple, Bright, Sexy and Pure Crime Movies

      A timid, cowardly law-abiding citizen like me who reads honestly, works hard, has an outlaw at heart, so much so that he gets excited at the smell of danger on the screen, and this movie is an undisguised one. The feast of crime, the smell is strong, one crime after another, there is almost no foreshadowing, I am dizzy, this sincere and strong impact, I have not felt for a long time.

      I haven't seen such a pure, beautiful, bright and moving, sexy and innocent crime film for a long...

      "Angel"

      Carlitos, who has a beautiful face, loves his family, and even has a girlfriend, looks like an ordinary teenager; he has committed multiple murders and thefts, either inadvertently or intentionally, as if the destruction was innate.

      He does things just out of intuition, to satisfy that experience.

      He started stealing guns, not because of murder, but because a shooting in the basement made him addicted to the thrill of shooting. When he saw the earring he liked, he put it on...

      without

      For the cynical teenager, everything seems to be a dream. The sluggish ignorance seems childish, making people let down their guard. Perhaps for him, sexual orientation is just a way of relying on him to make him less lonely in this game of nothingness.

      He looks like a child, with brutal methods, I think he's too arrogant, looks like he's too greedy, walking outside the law and wanting to enjoy the unruly of a teenager. Hasn't he ever thought that in...

      After watching it, I realized that it was adapted from a real event. The prototype character of the protagonist, Carlos Eduardo Robledo Puch, born in 1952, known as "Angel of Death" and "Black Angel", is an Argentine serial killer. He was sentenced to life in prison under Argentina's highest criminal law. He was convicted of 11 murders, 1 attempted murder, 17 robbery, 1 rape, 1 attempted rape, 1 sexual abuse, 2 kidnapping and 2 theft. He killed his victims in various ways, such as stabbing,...

      The male protagonist is of Italian descent from Argentina. He can be called a chubby Cupid with a different face. He is also very natural to be shameless and flirtatious. A plate of warm water, can't say anything bad, but it's really not bright. Carlitos could kill anyone with his hands up, but he never took Ramon directly into his hand. He only dared to beat around the bush. Probably this is love.... (Of course, it also caused a serious frustration of not shooting for a long time--...

      I really liked some of the episodes, especially the part where my finger was stuck in my mouth before the crash, my heart melted, and I used to like this a lot. The dance at the end of the film is in contrast to the surrounding guns. The conflict and opposition can be so beautiful. At this time, the film stops abruptly, and the aftertaste is endless. In addition to this, it tells the story of a beautiful young man's genius crime path, loyal and unswerving love, but it is very superficial and...

    Evaluation action

    If the moral judgment aside to define the film, it is not so much a story of a born juvenile delinquent based on real events that brings together elements of various genres such as Westerns and gangster films, but rather it is hyperpolitical and hyperideological, anti-order Youth films with sociopaths   . Lorenzo Farrow's stunning performance terrifies the hero's ruthlessness and seduces him by his angelic face and "innocent"...

    • [first lines]

      Carlos: Are people crazy? Does anybody consider the chance to be free? Going wherever you want; however you want. We all have a destiny. I am a natural-born thief. I don't believe in "this is yours, and this is mine".

    • Bartender: Hey, it's ok if you're both faggots, but you should be more discrete.

      Ramón: What the fuck did you say?

      Bartender: That if you're both faggots...

      [Ramón hits him on the head with a bottle of whisky and Carlitos laughs at the scene]

    • Aurora: You think a normal person would have done what you did?

      Carlos: [unmoved] Yes.
