The decadent poet wandering in the dark night streets

The first Ferrara movie I saw was "Girls of Four or Five Calibers". I thought it was another "I Spit Your Grave". After watching it with evil desires, I found that the whole film revealed a kind of crude depravity. beauty of. The lonely mute girl suffered twice in the damp city and became schizophrenic and murderous, but still unable to kill the disadvantaged women in this dark city. This is a story about salvation and self-torture. . A dumb girl in black hovered in the shadowy city that never...

New York King

Ferrara made a vampire movie wrapped in gangster skins, and Walken played a cold and melancholy vampire king. The atmosphere is very special as a whole, with beautiful colors, light and shadows. Cool lighting with hip-hop music has a more erosive beauty. In fact, the movie seems to deliberately dilute the sense of reality. For example, the gang members are almost all black but the boss is white (the movie also implicitly implies the similarity between this character and Dracula). At the...

The characterization is still relatively simple, the final ending is the highlight

Christopher Walken, Christopher Walken, is indeed good at acting as a gang member. He doesn't look particularly strong, but he is very fanciful and has a strong accent, and this time is no exception. But to portray the gang boss, you can’t get around a few excellent masterpieces. In my mind, "Scarface (1983)" is my favorite, because there is not only Al Pacino, but also Mi Cher Pfeiffer. Of course, let’s not talk about this first, but in terms of characterization and plot depth,...

Film micro-review: The King of New York

Although this movie has my favorite Christopher Walken in charge, the overall standard is still very mediocre. The biggest problem with this film is that it failed to create an "adversary" of comparable level. Watching the pig horns kill people everywhere and do everything, but what about his opponent? The gangster who only knows how to fight? An understaffed celestial dealer? Or a police officer who only scolds his mother? To these people, the success of Pig Horn makes people unable to lift...

New York cold noodles

Christopher Walken’s cold temperament fits in Ferrara’s film quite well. The vampire brother in "Night Addiction" and the gangster boss in this film are both unsmiling, pale and cold, just like a handsome zombie. ..... As a typified feature film, in the form of the story, there are no personal emotions and private images in the film. A gang boss who just came out of prison led his brothers to regain their strength but eventually fell. Such "legendary" stories are standard...

This story of gangs fighting police and bandits is really not a brilliant story. Fortunately, Ferrara's ability to create an atmosphere is first-class, casting a layer of blue light on the whole of New York, creating a sense of danger and confusion. Ken's face lurking in the dark night is calm, but his desires are surging. He is the king of New York. He tried to use violence to judge everyone, but he was finally killed by violence. After he disappeared, the crime would not stop, and the city...

The protagonist, Frank White, a self-appointed literal WHITE savior, thinks that only he knows what is good for the city and its minority community, and looking at New York with such a high profile, he must die, Must be eaten by the city, and the police too. At some point, the New York king was indeed Nosferatu, an old aristocratic melancholy, especially when he realized that he was about to die. Recently, I was watching CC's New York collection. Basically, every movie has at least one location...

8.1 Revisiting, although the action scenes are too protracted and the characters are pale and shallow, the tired and dejected atmosphere is intoxicating. Night Rush, funeral killings, and subway shootings are all good chapters. Walken, who dances at a disagreement, the dark blue dangerous night of New York, the sudden violence and the unforgettable sad ending, is currently the best in Ferrara with "The Age of the...

there are some fine shots and Walken is badass, but that late 80s early 90s edginess really didn't age...
