I had a dream, but the dream has woken up

It is rare to have such a good name translated, Qing Xiao. The 53-year-old uncle interprets the last part of Carlito's underworld life.
Unlike the life of George Jung in "American Narcotics", Carlito is even more flesh-and-blood.

Carlito, who has been in the kiln for five years, defended bluntly like a judge. He was born a villain. When his mother was there, he taught him how to pick up girls, but let me assure everyone that I have washed my hands and said goodbye to sin. What I'm telling you, I'm tired of my criminal life, I've been probationed for five years, and my days are not in vain. You must have heard a lot about this, but I'm telling the truth, really, I'm repented and reformed , without any pretense.

He wants to make a fortune, go to a place called Paradise Island, and start his life again.

He met the woman he loved before, and he longed to take her with him and start a new life together. After a while of lingering, the dialogue between the lovers briefly outlined Carlito's previous life.

Have you ever killed someone?
I was born in Harlem (ghetto) and someone fell in front of me, but that's not what you're going to kill, it's doomed, you're just doing what you need to do to survive, and that's what happened to me.
This is the fate of everyone.
But I'm going to get rid

of you have a dream?
Yes, but the dream has woken up. I hate my dreams.

At this time, in fact, another dream has already begun, a dream that belongs to each other, a place called Paradise Island.

Carlito was a gangster, or was. You have to pay it back sooner or later when you come out. Once you step into Jianghu Road, you will never look back. The movie is creating a dream, weaving Callito, his lover, and me into this dream.

The lawyer Clint Fei, who helped him get out of his 30-year prison sentence, is in trouble. How can he stand by and watch if Kalito helps him. The woman had a hunch that this was the devil who shattered their dreams, and with tears begged him not to go, not to go back. Facing the tears and crying of his lover, he threw his fist into the mirror, blood splashing. I really want to be able to do this once in my heart. He said: Kling Fei is my friend, I owe him. This is who I am, I will repay any kindness, right or wrong, I can't change it. Having said so decisively, Jianghu's anger surged into his heart, leaving the crying woman alone. Heroism needs no words, Pacino tells us what a performance is. He once said: On the stage, I am more alive than anywhere else, but everything I bring to the stage comes from the street. This not-so-tall man from Sicily always impresses me.

Afterwards, Ke Linfei wanted to pay him a sum of money. What he and the woman were waiting for was to legally earn a sum of money and go to Paradise Island. He didn't want it, he just wanted Clint to say a word to him: We don't owe each other. I pay you back what I owe you. Ke Lin Fei's madness made him feel that it was time to leave. He wanted to take the money and take the woman away. He was chased by Xian Yi, Ke Lin Fei's betrayal, and questioned by the police. Uncle was still calm, and the flustered woman didn't know what to do. Tso, Kalito brought two tickets, the station will wait for me, we will go together at 11:30 in the evening.

Although the shooting at the beginning of the film has revealed the ending, the final escape is still so thrilling. How I hope he can catch that train and go to that place called Paradise Island with his beloved woman. However, in addition to getting on the thief ship of Kelingfei, he also made two mistakes. 1. He couldn't be ruthless. He knew it was a mistake, but he let Benny the mustang. 2. He believed that his friend Bachchanka would not betray him. It cost him his life. With one shot, Benny shattered the dream that had been established to this day. Uncle also has a pair of deep eyes. At the end of the movie, he used these eyes to look at the woman, stuffed her with blood-stained money, and let her go away alone. He could only look at the crying woman and the one The painting of Paradise Island imagines the happy life of women and children, counting the last few heartbeats of their own.

I had a dream, if I die, please continue the dream.

    Such stories, how to balance the relationship between "betrayed by brothers" and "friends should be like things together"? If the protagonist is stupid, it's nothing more than being exploited and sold out. If you are shrewd and sophisticated, but don't know what your brother is like, then you deserve to be unlucky. But it deserves to be unlucky, and it doesn't match the mood that the film is trying to convey, so it contradicts itself. In this regard, brotherhood is not as easy to grasp as femme fatale. The latter can make it more reasonable to commit knowingly. Of course, homosexual affection can provide an excuse for a shrewd male protagonist to create a speculative blind spot like an obsession with femme girls. The problem with the love lords is: the other clue is pure traditional heterosexuality, so there is only the excuse of street philosophy. But in street philosophy, in addition to the loyalty of the buddies, there is more experience in observation and judgment and danger warning! At this time, Pacino was like a different person.

    I love the way Al Pacino plays, and the two films with Brian De Palma are my favorites. But this one isn't as good as Scarface.

Carlito's Way quotes

  • Saso: [Speaking in Spanish] Listen to me carefully, Carlito. Rudy says Pachanga is complaining about being broke; that he doesn't have a single dollar. He's also saying that you're a piece of shit, and that you don't have the balls to take care of the problem; and he's wasted a lot of time without making any money. Besides, I hear he's spying on us for Benny Blanco.

    Carlito: [Speaking in Spanish] Let me deal with Pachanga. He's my brother.

    Saso: He's your brother? That son of a bitch would kill his mother for money.

  • Rudy: Carlito, Mr. Benny Blanco says it's gonna be okay. He wants to send a bottle of champagne over, and he wants you to send Steffie over, when you're ready.

    Steffie: Carlito, what should I do?

    Carlito: No problem, Steffie.

    [to Rudy]

    Carlito: Steffie's with Dave now.

    Rudy: But Benny said...

    Carlito: Fuck Benny!

    Waiter: Carlito, this is from Benny Blanco.

    Carlito: Send it back!

    Saso: [to the waiter] Vete! Vete!

    Saso: [to Carlito] Charlie, please, you can't do this. Benny Blanco spends a lot of money here.

    Carlito: Oh, he's a nickel-bagger. Come on.

    Saso: What happened to you? What are you acting like this for? It doesn't make sense you should hate this guy. Because this guy is you 20 years ago.
