"Scarface" after reading the notes of Douyou's film critics

"If anyone doesn't like Hawkes, he doesn't like movies at all." - Rohmer

Completely proficient and highly accomplished classic, the script structure echoes, the plot is slender, and the rhythm is neat. It feels more than ten years ahead of the time, and it is no different from watching the 1942 "North Africa Spy".

The motives and characterizations of the characters are delicate and charming: waving, winking, igniting...

Some confusion

After seeing the film, I still have a little confusion about the relationship between Tonny and his sister Cesca, especially in the end of the film, after Tonny killed Cesca's boyfriend Guino who was also Tonny's assistant, Cesca took a gun and wanted to shot Tonny . But at last, she gave up because she said," I was you and you was me."
Tony loved his sister Cesca, but the love more than a brother loves a sister, it looks more like father loves daughter and also wants to control her. He...

The ancestor of gangster films

I am amazed almost every time I look at pre-50 Hollywood productions, especially scarface. The film tells the story of the city of Chicago, which was controlled by organized crime gangs during the American Prohibition Period. At the beginning of the film, Donnie's bun-like image and the body language at the time made me quite funny, especially the almost obscene look on his face when he met the heroine Poppy for the first time. What really got me in was the killing spree by Downey's gang. In...

Howard Hawks

1. Streetlight close-up

2. Gun silhouette + gunshots, then the dead man who fell to the ground, without any cost

3. Where there are gangsters, there will always be editors

4. Standard classical Hollywood, like this kind of medium and close-up dialogue + close-up exposed to the crotch (at this time, the front and back hits are not used very much, is it not used very much or has not appeared?)

5. Over the shoulder, "Greed", playing both sides.

6. Paul Mooney's...

Short comments are too long, long comments are too short

Do you feel that the original scar face is more introverted? …Less nonsense, but the state is more relaxed, such as being retaliated by O'Hara's thugs, and thinking about how to get the same machine gun between the intensive gunfire, the mood is really good; DePalma's Montana directly slayed from the beginning to the The tail, coupled with the soundtrack of Giorgio Moroder, has a stronger overall impact and a sense of tragedy (and the length of the film has almost doubled); and this version...

This film is the pioneer of gangster films in the early days of American sound films. It was one of the most influential crime films at that time, and it is a classic of genre films. Rare and graceful style in the early days. In terms of expression, the director uses projection and other methods to indirectly express the murder scene. Therefore, although there are a lot of murder scenes in the film, the naked visual stimulation is avoided. In the film, we can also see the factors that...

The cornerstone of gangster movies, you can see many elements of later gangster movies. The whistle blowing at the beginning is good, and it should be learned from "M is the Murderer". The main characters have their own characteristics, Tony is ruthless and bold, the thug is cool, and the secretary behind the ear is loyal and natural. After so many years, the gun problem has never been...

It's the second time to watch it after many years. The plot is quite rich, the rise and fall of gangsters, betrayal and revenge, brothers against each other, children's hatred, family resentment, and vague incest elements. The opening long shot is beautiful, which shouldn't be common in gangster films at the time. Throughout the article, several shootings that the male protagonist directly participated in were all completed through editing to show the scenes of violence that were invisible to...

The originator of gangster movies. Because it is a black and white film, the street violence is like a documentary, the gunfire is sharper and harsher, and the picture is more violent and more realistic without...

A pioneering gangster movie, certain details, such as Maconte whistling while killing people and Rinaldo fiddling with coins at all times, become the specific language of such...
