I keep asking myself, which of the two movie godfathers do you prefer? Al Pacino or Robert De Niro?
I refuse to answer. Because I don't have an answer.
[First time]
The first time the two appeared together in a movie was "The Godfather II". ——Poor Al Pacino, who was just a fledgling in "The Godfather I", but unfortunately the most outstanding is the old actor Maran Brando; The brilliance was once again snatched away by a supporting role. This time it was Robert De Niro, the godfather of youth. Looking forward to the stars and the moon, looking forward to "The Godfather III", finally no one can compete with Al Pacino, but the film is so bleak that no one cheers, no one cares about the film, who cares who is the best actor. The three "Godfathers" are a tragic documentary about Al Pacino being played with by the creator to the point of death.
This is the first "cooperation", but there is no one-second rivalry. The reason is very simple, the two generations of godfathers did not live in the same era, and they did not have the opportunity to stand together. That's fine, one mountain can't hold two tigers, so each one is king of the mountain, compete fairly, and give full play to your own splendor. We don't have to worry about who should cheer for when the two handsome guys face each other.
[Second time]
Almost 20 years have passed. The two Italian mafia godfathers, who were fresh, tender and invincible in their youth, went up and down in Hollywood, and finally cultivated into the biggest movie in the world. godfather. Al Pacino has "Scent to Know a Woman" and "Dawn of a Love Owl", and Robert De Niro has "Taxi Driver" and "Once Upon a Time in America".
Perhaps it was an arrogant tacit understanding, or a slack due to fate. The two movie stars of the same age who rose at the same time have never cooperated again. In the long run, this is not only the lifelong regret of the two, but also the lifelong regret of trillions of fans. Fortunately, there is also a profession in this world called "good people", for example, the great director Michael Mann.
Hence "HEAT". The name is so good, the two biggest movie stars join forces to attack, absolutely Mars hits the earth, the heat is radiant, and the heat wave is monstrous. The same is true. So far, every time I review, my palms are sweaty, my face is flushed, my heart is itching, and I can't bear it. The heat is rolling in from the inside out.
Michael Mann is an old fritter, and his psychological research is very thorough. He knew what everyone wanted to see most. Well, since you want to see it so much, then I will satisfy you - but I won't let you see it. Even if you see it, it is just a touch of water, and you are ashamed to say it, and you still hold the pipa and cover your face. In short, you hope that the two big names will come out to PK, and in the end, you can only sigh with disappointment and fascination, "I still have nothing to do." There are only two scenes of head-to-head confrontation: the two old men in the middle had a coffee together and chatted for a while; in the end, the two of them caught and hid for a while, and the bad guy was killed by a dangerous game like peekaboo. Before his death, he met the murderer policeman's eyes with infinite affection, without saying a word, and doing his best to be romantic.
[Third time]
Fortunately, the movie world is better than the sports world. As long as you are willing, there will never be any pressure to "retire". Federer was only 27 years old and was about to be forced to hang up by Natto, Xiaode, and Zombies, and at the age of 27, the two movie stars were not fully developed. At the age of 72, he can still persevere in the film and television industry, and he is stronger. Pretty old! In this way, fans who have been tortured by "The Wire" can finally wait for "Justice Killing", the third cooperation between the two godfathers.
Perhaps in order to deliberately subvert "The Wire", this time matchmaker Jon Avnet is ambitious to knead two tigers into a pair of well-behaved and docile Hello Kity, hooking on the shoulders, and the audience will not give up if they are tired of it. From the first time only admiring the father and son who have no intersection, to the second time, the fleeting opponent, to the third time, the two became colleagues, friends, and partners who fought side by side. It is still one fat and one thin, one irritable and one accident. What remains unchanged is that it is still full of F-WORD and S-WORD. This most precious fine tradition cannot be lost. Although the plot is simple and mentally retarded, it is not worth a sigh, but why did we go to see this movie for the plot? Isn't it just to see those two old faces that are very familiar and gradually unfamiliar? Seeds, what more can you ask for.
Alas, just think of it as a piece of MTV that has finally come true for a long time, or an old mobile album. Looking at our once and forever idols, too old to be seen and hopelessly degenerate, we are finally satisfied, and masochistically draw an unsatisfactory end to this star-chasing history that has been lingering for decades.
I don't believe there will be a next time. Al Pacino and Robert De Niro would definitely agree with me deeply. When the two tigers were embarrassed and forced to make physical contact with more than N zero distances, from that moment on, they knew it and swore fiercely: F**k! it's over.
