This is a film as casual and profound as Pacino in the film, it has not lost the slightest charm of its own because it sinks in the turbulent awards season, like the sunset in the film that is about to disappear, even if the tide is gone. , and still have to reflect the last glamorous brilliance of his own, and this movie tells such a story. The story of "Guys, Please Stand Up" is very simple but intriguing: Pacino, who had been in prison for 28 years, was finally released. People were commissioned to take Pacino's life, and the deadline for handing in was noon the next day. Out of years of friendship and sympathy for Pacino's life, Walken was reluctant to take action, and Pacino agreed to be executed by his partner after learning about Walken's dilemma, but asked Walken to accompany him through the next step. One night to make up for the 28 years of passion and life that the world owes him. So, the two did all kinds of crazy things they used to do when they were young to pass the time of waiting for Pacino's death: visiting prostitutes, stealing cars, "rescue" old friend Alan Arkin, racing, punishing street gangsters, Burying friends Alan Arkin and so on, the two affected many people overnight, and also affected each other secretly. In the end, Pacino finally let go of the guilt of being a criminal in the company of Walken, and Walken finally opened his heart with his granddaughter who was a waiter under the inspiration of Pacino, and found the living Dignity and Hope. The two old guys didn't choose decadence and betrayal. This is a movie that celebrates friendship and laments the passage of time. Walken and Pacino, two old men, show the tough friendship and pride between men through the behavioral and psychological activities of the two characters overnight. It is not willing to betray your friends even if you are generous to your death, because only friends can let you experience the meaning of life at this time. The end of the movie is open-ended, and there is no account of the lives and deaths of Pacino and Walken, but the facts are no longer important. When they held up their old bones and raised their guns in the dusk, all life and death have long been clouds, which is right. The last struggle of fate.
I believe that ordinary audiences will not be too cold to "Guys, Please Stand Up". Only fans can enjoy watching this film, because it has the never-old male legend Al Pacino, Christopher Walken and guest stars. Alan Arkin, just taking anyone out can make fans' blood boil. Watching "Guys, Please Stand Up", there is always a hint of sadness. When Christopher Walken took a slightly stiff step, I had to accept the gentle, fierce and humorous mafia in "True Romance" Don Vincenzo was already 20 years ago; when Al Pacino staggered and raised his gun, I had to sigh that the scar-faced godfather who knew how to smell fragrance and know women was no longer frivolous, but, seeing these in the film The old bones still have deep eyes, and they still read out the lines with deep meaning or cynicism, and they can't help but be excited. Perhaps, their glory is gone, but they are still unwilling to be controlled by fate, they will still break the shackles like when they were young, and give fate a shot of resistance, and this may be that they will always be in our hearts. The reason for not getting old.
