Mean Street

Tia 2021-12-08 08:01:44

Scorsese’s early works, strong personal stylization, editing and editing, OST full of exotic style, hand-held lens brings a full sense of realism and vitality, restore the feast of New York in the 70s, living on the edge of the poor streets. Emptiness, loneliness and restlessness. De Niro plays a very fierce little bastard, just like Pacino in "Hot Day Afternoon", he already had the temperament of an actor when he was still young. However, no matter how fierce the gangster is, he will eventually become the spearhead of the gangster.

    The highlight is by no means limited to the first cooperation with De Niro! All the motifs and styles of Lao Ma are exposed in this film: Little Italy and the gang, religion and salvation, arrogance and anti-social personality, God's perspective and handheld, slow motion and discontinuous editing, rock music... Red is the color of sex, blood and sin. The film screening begins, flashing back to "Dreamland" with Theresa's no sign, the redemption style of burning hands, the cross. Semi-subjective seating at the front door of the car. (9.0/10)

    The street story of Little Italy is empty, boring, and depressing. Many scenes make people feel profound, the soundtrack is great, and De Niro is really brilliant~
