Al Pacino has always belonged to the "'favorite' actor" category, with a solid position. He likes Pacino far more than De Niro. In fact, he secretly admits that De Niro is actually better than Pacino. He is superior, but the little panic and melancholy in Pacino's expression made his small stature infinitely sturdy.
The Dawn of Love Owl is a representative work of Pacino's post-eldest brother era. Although he has been seeking transformation, it is obvious that he only has the life of being an eldest brother. Gangster movies were my favorite genre a while back, because the way gangster characters tend to act makes them romantic and tragic, and it's even better if you have a big beard in a trench coat and often wear sunglasses. The scene where Mr. Pacino took off his ring and put down the sundries at the end of "The Faithful Traitor" often appeared in front of me, making me very curious about what kind of person he was in real life. When it comes to performance tension, it is often a double-edged sword. It doesn't matter what the so-called method school is. How can exaggerated performances like a stage play appear reasonable in a movie? In fact, Parma's films have this problem. The scene where Pacino peeks at his girlfriend's rehearsal in the rain is the best answer to that question.
