As he was dying, he still didn't forget to tease the useless doctor. The white light above his head gradually dissipated. He knew that he was running out of time, and the lover beside him, the beautiful woman who was carrying his child, cried heartbreakingly. His last words were, "The last real man in Puerto Rico
is dead, maybe not the last. I'm tired, baby, tired..."
"Star" has been gone for more than 10 years. In 1993, he gradually hidden his edge. In this year, he once again met the master of Hollywood storytelling, Brian De Palma.
This man known as "Contemporary Hitchcock" has cut off the edges and corners of the evil star and brought us the most romantic gang leader, the most infatuated prodigal son, the most touching screen love, and the most helpless life. Fate.
Time can't get rid of the classic life, Brian de Palma with Albercino, Sean Penn, left us the eternal gangster masterpiece "Carlito's Way" (Carlito's Way),
although it has been 20 years Years, but the film still maintains a high score of 8.6 on the Internet. It is an immortal viewing memory for countless fans.
Some netizens said that every time they watched the film, they would wipe the traces on the collection disc, which showed the vicissitudes of his own years.
The film touched groups of male fans in the most tender way.
"The Prodigal Son Can't Go Back", "I haven't been a big brother for many years", an alternative love poem written to the gangster movie history from "The Dawn of the Love Owl".
A downright gangster movie, but it is rooted in love, friendship, morality, the most precious things in human beings, the things that are being lost, and finally tore the protagonist and pushed him on the road of no return.
Brian De Palma is too good at playing with structure, a story that doesn't have much novelty, but becomes moving and pathetic under the arrangement of his plot structure and his characterization.
The film gave an ending boldly at the beginning. The hero, Kalido, played by Albersino, was shot and put on a stretcher. The light above his head gradually diffused, announcing that his life had entered the last moment.
This opening immediately established the pathetic tone of the film. It created a huge vortex of fate, which attracted the audience from the very beginning of the film.
No reversal, no suspense, no bottoming out, and Brian De Palma wrote the charismatic hero to death from the start.
When this ending bomb called fate was set in advance, the audience could only do useless struggles in the whirlpool of the story. They watched Kalido struggle and choose, and it seemed that he would walk into the dark night of death.
The helplessness of this fate is constantly magnified and exaggerated on the basis of the film's continuous establishment of affection, constantly stimulating the audience's emotions. At the climax, the shell falls, the ending explodes, the fate begins to roar, and the characters can only be silent.
"Dawn of Love Owl" is old-fashioned. With the help of his best friend David, the former drug king Kalido was released from prison after only 5 years.
In court, he declared loudly that he had recovered and that he had been "reborn". But in the entire court, apart from him, no one believed him.
After he was released from prison, he had only one dream, to make $75,000 early, and then fly to the beaches of the Bahamas to do a taxi business, and he would never ask anything.
It is a pity that once you enter the rivers and lakes, you will get old, and once you enter the rivers and lakes, it is difficult to escape.
Although he announced to everyone that he would no longer do gang affairs, drug trafficking, murder, and robbery, please don't come to me.
But on the first day he was released from prison, he got into trouble. His cousin wanted him to accompany him to trade, he said it was safe, and he hoped that this legendary uncle would lighten his face.
As soon as the old-fashioned Calidor entered, he discovered the hidden murder. After a fight, he recovered his life and accidentally got $25,000 in black money.
The $25,000 suddenly accelerated his dream. With this money, he invested in a bar and became a Humphrey Bogart-style "upstairs boss".
Looking at this unfamiliar river and lake, seeing ambitious young people everywhere, and watching the feasting and feasting of the new era, he strengthened his inner belief and left here after earning 75,000 yuan earlier.
He didn't realize that this bloody 2.5 start-up gold actually heralded his return to the arena. The money was a fateful bait, a deadly bait, and tragically, he had already bit it.
Now that he has become Humphrey Bogart, there is an Ingrid Bergman waiting for him.
Sure enough, before going to prison, he fell in love with a dancer Kyle. He told her that he would not let her down and would love her forever, but it was a pity that he made a blunder on the first promise.
He found Kyle again, and he and she were afraid of starting over, afraid of repeating the same mistakes. They were just chatting, and she found that he had changed and lost his confidence.
In prison, Kalido said, the reformer told him, "You've lost that qi, you're going to fail one day, you're going to lose one day, so why not just let it go."
Therefore, Kalido read a lot of books in prison. On the one hand, he overturned the case for himself, and on the other hand, he was really washing his sinful heart.
But as a person in the rivers and lakes, the most fearful thing is being soft-hearted, and the most fearful thing is not being vicious enough.
"Dawn of Love Owl", three key characters are set around the protagonist Kalido.
Kyle tells of his infatuation. In that classic scene, Kyle half-closed the door, tempting Kalido to say, you either break in or never come in. I want you to put me on the ground, I want you to strip my clothes off...
then Kyle starts to take off his pajamas, and Kalido can no longer suppress the desire in his heart, although he keeps saying, "I'm too old , it's not suitable for these", but then he broke into the door, the two kissed passionately, the camera rotated 360 degrees, and they fell into the paradise of love.
Kyle keeps pulling Kalido away from the rivers and lakes, but when love meets righteousness, he always faces a dilemma. Those who value love must value righteousness. God loves to make jokes like this.
Another key character in "The Dawn of Love Owl" is Kalido's best friend David. There have been too many changes in the five years of Kalido's imprisonment. David has changed from a hairy boy to a greedy lawyer.
What's even more frightening is that he has crossed the lawyer's bottom line, and he blackmailed the gang boss of 1 million. The boss of the gang threatened him to save him from prison, or he must die.
David knew that even if he rescued the boss, they would still kill him, and he started taking a lot of drugs to get himself drunk, and he could only ask for his only support, Kalido, for help.
Kalido knew that this might be a road of no return, and when in return for David's life-saving grace, he resolutely agreed.
At this time, one side is Kyle's love, and the other is David's righteousness. Callidor was constantly forced into that narrow gate of fate, full of bayonets, and with no exit.
The third key character in the film that revolves around the main character is the new age gangster Johnny, who admires Kalido but Kalido hates him because he is jealous of him and he sees his younger self in Johnny.
In the film, Calidor seriously told others many times that he was old, and he only dreamed of leaving here and living in a taxi in the Bahamas.
Finally, he tore his face with Johnny for David. Everyone persuaded him to kill Johnny, but they also knew that he should kill him, but when he softened, he let Johnny go, which buried the greatest hidden danger for his death.
On the day of the big exam, he accompanied David to pick up the gang boss who escaped from the sea. At this time, David made a desperate act to Kalido, he actually killed the gang leader and his son.
The film then begins to enter the fast lane.
The police began to find Kalido, hoping he would confess David's guilt.
The gang begins to find Kalido, ready to admit that he was on the boat that night, and then pay for his life.
Kalido found Kyle, and he hoped to take her to escape the arena with him.
The climax of the third act of "The Dawn of the Owl" definitely revived the Hitchcock-style thrills. The gangster killer and Kalido chased me at the Central Station. The filming was full of tension and full of ups and downs.
Callidor was always caught in the grip of being caught, but he was always close; Callidor was about to escape, but he was still close.
When Jin Chan was about to escape, a gunshot announced the beginning of the tragedy, and the footsteps of fate were gradually approaching.
A melee, and Kalido escaped again, watching her beloved woman waiting for him at the train gate, waving at her and smiling.
He seemed to have seen the beach in the Bahamas, and saw him and Kyle, as well as the child in her belly, the happy life of a family of three.
Just as his dream was about to come true, the man hiding in the dark took out a pistol and shattered Kalido's dream.
Destiny rolled over, and the ending that was set up high at the beginning lay there, announcing his victory.
In the 140-minute emotional entanglement, we witnessed a gangster-style tragic hero, he adhered to the last morality, and he was based on the bottom line of being a man of love and righteousness, but the times have changed, and the rivers and lakes have changed.
Even the horses in the bar don't wear short skirts.
Kalido finally fulfilled his moral fulfillment with his life and completed his spiritual redemption.
"The Dawn of Love Owl" leaves no choice for the audience and the characters, either treachery or abide by etiquette and sacrifice their lives.
There is a dilemma between love and justice. As the last Puerto Rican man, he wrote his own legend, but he failed his lover again. He can only say, I am tired baby, and YOU ARE SO BEAUTIFUL.
"The Dawn of Love Owl" explains how to tell a cliché story to the heart and soul, the re-creation of the dramatic structure injects new life into the story, skillfully integrates various genres, and injects powerless love into gangster films. Destiny softened the gangster film of gunfire and blood into a mournful love song.
So, there are no outdated stories, only people who can't tell them.
The protagonist Albersino hid his edge and enriched his performance style. He lost control in control, and the explosive force was more fierce and direct.
This love owl, played by Albersino, is simply a walking aphrodisiac.
A sincere man is silent after watching it, and a woman sheds tears after watching it.
Backstage reply, love owl, fat brother sent the most romantic gangster epic.
