The day before being imprisoned, what will ordinary people do? Facing seven years in prison, be a brave man or a deserter? After all, seven years is not a short period of time. One more day in prison is a torment. All kinds of fights and sodomy are unavoidable.
Director Spike Lee chose such a theme. Monty (Norton) is a drug dealer who sells drugs to students. In the eyes of ordinary people, it can be said to be very abhorrent (poisoning teenagers, right), through this way, he accumulated A lot of wealth, cars starting with "B", big apartments, beautiful girlfriends, all he has, he is a "man of the moment". Until finally caught, he was still the best Irish-born out of Brooklyn.
At the beginning of the film, Monty adopted a dog, and found a large dog with a fierce appearance and a loyal heart that was abused and abandoned by others on the road. Monty is actually not a bad guy, from when he misses playing high school to when he first met his girlfriend and asked her if she was 18, he was a good guy. It's just that the means of accumulating wealth is not legal. In fact, he is the image of the common criminal-related bad guy around us. Once on the pirate ship, it is difficult to disembark. He was also deeply troubled by it, but he accepted his fate. He knew this in his heart, no matter how strong and rebellious he was on the outside, he knew that he was a drug dealer, and there was no turning back, no stopping unless something happened.
Monty started by sneaking Doyle (the dog's name) to find his two best friends to celebrate the last day. Two Irish-born guys who grew up together, a Wall Street elite Frank (Barry Pepper), a middle school teacher Jacob (Hoffman), in fact, they are very good, to paraphrase the lines: one with 99 points, one with 62 points, both At the upper-middle level, even rich and young or young and talented. They met before Monty and blamed each other for why they didn't persuade their good friends to stop on this road. Before we meet, Monty sees his only family, Dad, for the last supper, and on the way he goes to the bathroom, where he fucks the whole NYC in his head (like we hate sometimes entire city). He also took a bath with his girlfriend Nutarelle (at first everyone suspected that his girlfriend betrayed him, there are enough reasons to believe, but he has always trusted her girlfriend enough, they really love each other). In the "parting party" that night, they were away from the feasting and feasting. The conversation between their buddies pretended to be happy but couldn't hide their deep disappointment.
In the end, Monty took the initiative to be beaten, his ex-girlfriend hurriedly prepared an ice pack for him before parting, and his father personally sent him the last part of the city tour, all of which are excellent details. The soundtrack is great, and the whole movie is a chatter movie. If you don't mind, the language art and body language are really good, maybe that's why I prefer EDWard Norton (laughs~)

    Mary D'Annunzio: Vincent Phiscalla writes a story about his grandmother dying and you give him an A plus. And meanwhile, the night of the funeral, you wanna know where Rhodes Scholar Vince is? Getting smashed at a basketball party and slapping girls asses. I mean, what is that? A charity A+? You wanna know why everybody always writes about their grandmothers dying? It's not because it's so traumatic. It's because it's a guaranteed A+! And you sit there all sentimental "Oh, Vince it was very powerful, very moving." No, it wasn't. You didn't care. Nobody cared. That's what grandmothers do. They die!
