Dawn of a Love Owl: In the eyes of some people, principle and morality

are above everything else, so much so that they would rather sacrifice

their lives or love to

uphold Sinon) is such a person

, he values ​​love and righteousness, others are kind to him, and he has

to repay when he goes up to the sword and down the sea of ​​fire, but this has also become his fatal weakness

. , when he knew in his heart

that he shouldn't, he still couldn't cross

the hurdle, left the crying girlfriend with a dull

door closing, and set foot on the "road of no return" for his friends

, and when he realizes that his so-called "friends" are not

worth his effort at all, it is too late, the big mistake has been made

, and the gangster is eyeing him, vowing to pay for his life , he

had to plan ahead and fly away with his girlfriend, so there was a thrilling chase at the

train station . His fate at the end of the film also reflects

the impermanence of underworld characters. The film is actually very similar

to the theme expressed in another film "The Godfather" starring Al Pacino

. They both express the tragic fate of people in the arena who want to get rid of

bleaching but can't help themselves, which makes people sigh.
At the technical level, you have to admire Brian De Palma

's ability to control the rhythm and the ability to schedule shots. The train station

chase scene is the highest interpretation of these two abilities.

In terms of rhythm , the soundtrack is high and low, which

forms an excellent contrast with the content of the clipped back and forth; in terms of camera movement, a two-minute long

shot follows Kalido in the train hall, such as moving clouds. flow

The water is generally smooth, not only explaining the relationship between the characters and time and space,

but also creating a tense atmosphere. In fact, in terms of creating a

tense atmosphere, there is another bright spot in this film, that is,

in the scene where the gangster kills Kalido's lawyer friend, the lawyer played by

Sean Penn is about to take the elevator downstairs and is waiting for the call.

When he was on the elevator, he saw a burly killer

walking , and there seemed to be something hidden in his arms. At this time, the picture went back and forth between

the blinking elevator lights and the killer walking towards Sean Penn.

Switching, as the killer gets closer and closer, the screen switches faster and faster, and the lights seem to

flicker faster and faster, which undoubtedly

aggravates the tension of the film.

Feeling anxious and cramped to increase tension

. But there is a detail here, that is, when the killer came over

, a graceful

girl , so the killer followed closely. I think the reason why the director arranged

this girl in front of the killer was not just to cover up The killer is hiding

a weapon to increase the suspenseful atmosphere, and at the same time, it may also be to cast a hazy glamorous over

the assassination. At the performance level, the actor

Al Pacino's performance is naturally impeccable, but the person who

left was actually Sean Penn who played

the lawyer, because Al Pacino's performance was so good that I still felt like he played

with him. The other characters are somewhat similar, but Sean Penn, almost like

a movie old ghost with thousands of faces!
I personally feel that there is still a little flaw in this film, that is, there is not

too much emphasis on the performance of Kalido, the drug lord's Xiao Yong, and the shootout at the beginning of the

film is more than comical, but not brave enough.

As for his love and righteousness, this is very important, because this

is a sufficient reason for him to bring himself to be killed. The film

has given enough scenes to describe, so there is a

sad and sad scene at the end of the film. Kalido's dream may only

be realized by being immersed in the painting of dancing on the beach at sunset, but in

reality, his dream is just his fantasy
