Some trivial related anecdotes

After looking through IMDB, I found that Trivia related to this movie is not only quite interesting, but also quite interesting. I chose some translations to make it happy. Above

1. Director Alan Parker claimed that because De Niro was too real and horrible about Louis Cypher's performance, he would try to avoid him when there were De Niro shots, and let Luo direct and act himself. (You stay with him and he doesn't speak) (De Niro! King of the King of Play! Me! Blow!)

2. After De Niro blows away the salt sprinkled on the eggs, Mickilock picked a pinch of salt from the table and threw it over his left shoulder. It is said that this action can confuse the devil and evil spirits. (I said feudal superstition kills people)

3. When producer Alan Marshall called De Niro to recommend this role to him for the first time, Luo asked him if he was the producer of Birdman (1984). He said he was, and Deni Roma hung up. (Lao Luo, you don’t like Birdman! Very angry! I like Birdman so much!)

4. Director Ai once offered the role of Louis Cypher to Pacino and Nicholson.

5. "How terrible is wisdom when it brings no profit to the wise?" This line comes from the ancient Greek dramatist Sophocles’ Oedipus Si Wang. (Kill your father and marry your mother to find out)

6. Lisa Bonet (black lady) was expelled from the set of The Cosby Show (1984 black family TV series) because of her naked upper body in this movie. (Alas!)

7. Harry Angel (Mickey Locke) went to meet Margaret Krusemark (the psychic sister) for the first time. When the sister invited him to drink tea, he had a quick conversation with the maid in French that Mickey couldn't understand. The main content was the maid asking the spirit. Whether the media should make their best tea, my sister firmly said no. (Hahaha)

8. The real name of Johnny Favorite is Liebling, and "Liebling" means "little sweetheart" in German. But Liebling also means "Favorite".

9. They briefly considered letting Marlon Brando play Louis Cyphre. (Very beautiful)

10. In the movie, Johnny Favorite’s birthday is the same as director Alan Parker’s, both on February 14. In the novel, Johnny Favorite’s birthday is the same as the author’s William Hjortsberg, both on June 2.

11. When Louis Cyphre appeared, he wore a brown emotional ring on his hand, which represented irritability.

12. This is one of seven films produced by producer Alan Marshall and director Alan Parker. The remaining six are Birdy (1984), Fame (1980), Bugsy Malone (1976), Midnight Express (1978), Shoot the Moon (1982), Pink Floyd: The Wall (1982). Interested students can check it out.

13. The old train that Mickilock took in Louisiana didn't move for a long time. In order to make a movie, a new train had to run it behind its back. (Very poor hahahaha)

14. Edward Kelley is the name of an English alchemist and magician in the 16th century.

15. De Niro performed Louis Cyphere based on Martin Scorsese. (Director Ma, what kind of image are you in everyone's mind, hahaha)

Nothing in Trivia mentioned how De Niro got his nails. It was very angry. The most interesting part of this movie for me is his nails.

Angel Heart quotes

  • Harry Angel: She was doing my chart. I gave her Johnny's birthdate, February 14th. Except someone got to her and took out their own Valentine card. They split her open, and they cut out her heart. I guess she couldn't predict the future for herself.

    Louis Cyphre: The future isn't what it used to be, Mr. Angel.

  • Harry Angel: Winesap. You want his number? You want his address? Ask Tess Trueheart over there. It's in the book he's flipping through. It's under "W" genius.

    Det. Deimos: You know Ted Williams the baseball player?

    Harry Angel: Yeah.
