Nicolas Cage's victory
I remember hearing Cage say he was a non-mainstream Nicolas, but throughout this period of Cage's "Foreseeing the Future" and other blockbusters, the audience showed a serious character, and now accept " Bad Lieutenant gives us a little bit of a rogue vibe. As early as 1992, the bad policeman in the movie of the same name had a bit of an ugly impression, taking drugs, killing people, visiting prostitutes, corruption and extortion, and his end was like a dog in the eyes of the audience. However, this year's Nicolas Cage turned the film noir into a dark humor, giving the bad lieutenant a little cute appearance. From this point of view, I have to admit that Nicolas Cage's acting skills are extraordinary, and he is worthy of being a movie king.
In the old version of "Bad Lieutenant", starring Harvey and 2009's "Bad Lieutenant" starred Cage. , "Bad Lieutenant" is not only a remake of old movies, but also in terms of marketing, it is also getting back the feeling of the year. (Both films hit theaters on November 20) and Nicolas Cage's superb rendition. The remake has been remade into a classic, so the success of the movie is a bit controversial in the remake, but Cage's success symbolizes victory.
It was once said that Nicolas Cage would not act, but in this film, Nicolas Cage injured his back after saving a prisoner, leaving behind sequelae, turning a mighty Cage into a The rickets patients make it more difficult for Cage to act, but the outstanding thing is that Cage's performance is easy to perform, similar to shape, and performance is natural. So after watching this play, there is a feeling that the original Cage is still there, and the current Cage is better.
story style sword
The story of 1992 belongs to pure black crime. The starring Harvey plays the policeman Hansen into a character who can be beaten and scolded by everyone, highlighting a bad word. The corruption and social corruption of the U.S. government is clearly shown. And today's "Bad Lieutenant" police Terrence let Cage play a little conscience. At the beginning of the story, Nicholas, a well-known New Orleans gambler and morally corrupt, saved the life of a prisoner, which makes people feel a little bit of admiration for him. I feel sorry for the cervical vertebrae sequelae he left behind. This bad lieutenant's not bad style brings a little freshness to the new remake, and makes people wonder what the outcome of today's rogue cops will be. In the new work, the policeman Terence became addicted to drugs because of his back pain. He relied on drugs to relieve the pain, but the meager income made him eventually embark on the road of smuggling drugs from the anti-drug team. A goal, but also made him heavily in debt, these bad impressions let the audience see a corrupt police who corrupted the government.
But the bad lieutenant also has a good side. In a murder case of 5 people, the brutal actions of the criminals awakened the kindness in Terence's heart. He decided to find out the criminals and restore his innocence, but his irascible temper kept him in the process of handling the case. , the trouble continues. First offended her client, the son of a big drug lord, at her girlfriend's (prostitute's) house, then owed a huge gambling debt on football, and then pulled out the state congressman's mother's oxygen tube. These troubles finally let the FBI find the door, and the new accounts and the old accounts are calculated together. His gun was confiscated. At that time, it was like a humorous sentence of his: "You must know that a policeman is like a waste without a gun." It's rare that he can still humor you in such a situation.
Perhaps a good man is rewarded, or perhaps it is a more extreme irony of the American police industry. Terence skillfully demolished the east wall to make up the west wall, so that he was able to save himself from danger and was promoted to captain. He first used his power to blackmail team members, help him win, pay off gambling debts, sell intelligence, cooperate with drug lords, and kill enemies. The drug lord was arrested. Then he found DNA evidence and solved the murder. The matter of MPs is past. And he and his girlfriend got married. Everything points to a happy ending. But it has to be said that this is an increased irony after the "Bad Lieutenant" in 1992, because all the good is based on corruption, extortion, and private power. At the end, Terence repeated his old trick, blackmailing a young man and woman. This shows how absurd the dark police industry is.
Do fish have dreams?
At the end, the work of 1992 is more direct, which is to reflect the darkness of the government. And "Bad Lieutenant" in 2009 is indeed a little suspenseful. At the end, Terrance meets the prisoner he saved that year. And began to sit in front of a dark fish tank, he also asked: "Do fish have dreams?" The seemingly insignificant question is actually the most true portrayal of the character of Terence. In his view, his life is like a fish, in the water, the fish can never see the outside world. And once he dreams of getting out, it will be a dead end. This is the reason for his sluggish life. He saved the prisoner when he was trapped in the water, in the murder case, he had a conscience, and in the end, when he looked back on this life course again, he had a new thought "Do fish have dreams?" And I think, just in that fishbowl, in our society….
