      In fact, pleasure and hatred are only in the book, and human desires are endless

      In fact, pleasure and hatred are only in the book, and people’s desires are endless. As the pressure of life continues to increase, in fact, the biggest impact of organizations like "My Career" is brought about by desire, which is constantly increasing. Demand, once demand is not met, there will be changes. This contradiction itself is complementary, and there is nothing greater or noble.

      So killing is actually not noble, no matter what the reason is, and if you add a restriction...

      A calm, elegant and passionate gangster epic

      The Italian Mafia- themed movies are so popular. It just so happened that last year they were shortlisted in the three major European film festivals. Berlin’s "Young Mafia" took the route of youth growth, and Venice’s "The Mafia was no longer what it used to be". An acclaimed documentary, and this Cannes

      traitor

      The film is adapted from a real story. It is a classic movie. The beginning of this section made me deeply touched. As a conservative gang veteran, the protagonist seemed to vaguely feel the changes in the family, the noisy gatherings, and seemingly harmonious negotiations. , The close friends who are in love with each other are like hypocrisy on the surface of prosperity. He chose to leave the Mafia at this time. Leaving Italy may be an intuition that his organization is undergoing...

      The Mafia is a product of history, and it will end with the development of the economy and society.

      The new Italian film "Traitor" reproduces the big trial of the Mafia in Italy at the end of the last century. During that period, the internal struggles of the Mafia intensified, and the tentacles also penetrated into all levels of the Republic. Even the prime minister was involved in the crime. There are also details of the trial in the movie. The prosecutors worked hard from within the Mafia, under the lenient and strict witness protection policy, through internal reporting and...

      Pure Italian "The Godfather"

      Compared with the American version of "The Godfather", the film appears more pure and profound, coupled with the director's skill and local advantages, the cultural heritage of Sicily is also strong enough.

      If the American version is like a gangster legend, this film is the true history of the gangster.

      With the help of the experience of a so-called traitor, this film has made in-depth discussions and true records of the cause of the Mafia, the soil and environment for survival,...

      Picking up this sinful pistol, there is no golden pot in life ever since. Take that photo of Shenli, nowhere will be the end of the world in the future. His life is held in the amulet, but he still wants to survive. Hanging under the helicopter, how dare you not tell the truth. They broke their hands and headshots, harming the innocent, and have long lost their loyalty. I stepped forward, willing to be a traitor, and cooperated with justice. We are not evil spirits. When we dream back at...

      Although it is a mafia background, the subject is not violence and crime. More is the story of a man called a "traitor" who wants to protect the glory, but there is also the anger and sadness of vengeance, as well as inner struggle and fear. The front is a bit boring, but it looks solid all the way, the subjective shots of the bombing of the car are really exciting, and Belo Gio is steady. I wonder if I can fight the...

      I didn't expect to see such a movie today - so old-fashioned, neat, and abiding by tradition, and I am even more amazed that Bellocchio, who is over eighty years old, still maintains a cold and arrogant attitude and bursts with "unstoppable" power. As always, focus on Italian history and politics, and the lives and stories of Italians. "Traitor" opens with a grand banquet. Amid the hustle and bustle, there is a confrontation between the old and the new forces, and it also vaguely heralds the...

      siff10: Mafia movies with no new ideas, too much to imitate the godfather's bridges, such as street gunfights, indoor killings, and the scenes of sitting in a wheelchair with the head down directly changed to Al Pacino. Of course, the sense of rhythm is good, and the posters on the screen are also a bit shocking, but what is very unbearable is the strong sense of TV in the whole film. Is it intentional to completely lose the texture of the movie? All in all puzzled. The Italian version of the...

      Unexpectedly, a mafia movie is full of court scenes, but there are very few violent confrontations. The twist at the end is abrupt but very advanced! At the same time, it actually brings many characters, and the complex plot and the lack of necessary background bring difficulties to the audience in understanding. Two and a half hours is a long time. What is rare is that the director has added many comedy elements to make up for the look and feel to a certain...
