Dawn that can't wait

It's been a month since I watched it before I thought of writing a review. The two film stars undoubtedly interpret this film vividly. As a generation of drug lords who want to start a new life, Pacino's Kalido is undoubtedly the core of the whole film. He constantly reminds himself that he can take his lover to live together in an ideal country. As the film progresses Pushing forward, we also seem to see his dawn. However, as Kalido helps David escape from prison in order to pay back his favor, everything begins to fall apart.

This is a slow-moving film, and as the plot develops, the audience will sink into it more and more. The flashback method exposes the ending of the story from the very beginning. The sunshine and sandy beaches of Panama on the wall are finally out of reach, and the dawn of the love owl has not finally come.

Kalido, who wanted to escape from the rivers and lakes, was bound everywhere, and it was difficult to go away. As the incarnation of Kalido's dream life, Kyle has all the beauty he yearns for, such as kindness, beauty, and thoughtfulness, and Kalido once saw the dawn of happiness.

The title of the film is quite mocking and ironic. The dawn of the love owl is that there is no dawn, and he finally fell on the side of the train leading to the dawn. Compared with the literal translation of The Road to Callido, this title undoubtedly brings more reverie.

Under the torrent of reality, a small wish has become an unfulfilled dream. This is not only a portrayal of Kalido in the gangster, but also a portrayal of us living in the society, just like that song We are all spinning tops that can't stop spinning, and we have to hold our whips high.

Carlito's Way quotes

  • David Kleinfeld: Fuck you and your self-righteous code of the goddamn streets. Did it pull you out of a 30 year stint in only 5 years? No, it didn't, I did. Did it get you acquitted 4 fucking times? No, it didn't, I did, so fuck you, fuck the streets, your whole goddamn world is this big, and there's only one rule, you save your own ass.

  • Carlito: If I ever, I mean if I ever see you here again, you die.

    [Snaps fingers]

    Carlito: Just like that.
