My feelings are biased towards robbers, but I still support the end of justice

The feeling of watching Heat after watching the gun version of Revolver is really comfortable! Robbert De Niro and Al Pacino are both actors I like very much. They are cool and handsome. The story is simple, without schizophrenia and large inner monologues. The pace of the film is slow and steady, but it will inadvertently become nervous and hot-like life itself.

Start the robbery for 3 minutes. To me, I was confused and chaotic, but I saw that these masked people were methodical and confident. After that, I finally understood what happened, and also understood who is the good person and the bad person (the level is really low).

The good guys were furious and violent, and the backyard caught fire. The bad guys are gentle and elegant, and they meet love. Two people, one righteous and one evil, are so similar, from appearance, to eyes, from dedication to professionalism.

The film advances at an extremely appropriate tempo, without hurries or slowness. We saw the police treated the informants rudely and threatened and lured them, while the robbers treated their wives (or lovers) tenderly and had a good time together.

In the transaction of redemption of securities, I was really nervous—the handsome male protagonist who was not willing to be so stunned, the walkie-talkie rang, the camera opened, and the distant companion shot in time, and De Niro also Finished the other party cleanly.

After spotting the police, on the side of the empty pier (is it a pier?), the handsome guy showed a triumphant and charming smile with a huge lens. I have to admire this man. Every time he shoots, he is clean and thorough without hesitation. Every transaction has an ingenious design and layout.

A scene in a cafe with two men is undoubtedly wonderful. They talked about their lives and work (haha, robbery is also a promising job) and they said cruel things to each other, if there is a need, I will beat you without hesitation, but the expression between their brows is clearly It's just sympathy, and the subtext is: we are so similar, we finally found a companion!

Although the police arrived at the last minute, and even though the robbers walked out of the building looked anxious (sorry, I was biased towards the robbers), but Chris' sudden shooting with his gun still caught me off guard. Obviously I am not in this business, there is nothing to hesitate, the one that should come is here! Hitting. Then came the famous street shootout. M16, H&K SG-1, Glock 17, and SIG P226 all, countless cars were riddled with holes, and countless policemen fell in a pool of blood. The robber was injured but escaped miraculously. Here is a little bit puzzled, what about Al Pacino's helicopter?

De Niro can leave, but if he leaves, it won't be him. I really like the scene of killing the last two people (a little doubt whether I have a BT tendency). I always hate the murderous Haw, but he did it very cleanly and quickly: Look at me! Look at me! Bang! Bang! End !

The director has clearly given too much preference to the robbers in the film, so he uses the ending as a balance-justice triumphs over evil. I often think that De Niro's bullets should have been released first, because he took the initiative to attack, and at the worst, both of them should fall! Hey, it was actually at that moment, which was the arrangement of fate.

Of course, in addition to these two most outstanding men, the film has a small explanation of every relationship between each man, which is also inseparable from what the whole film wants to express.

The role played by policeman Al Pacino has the most family descriptions. The third marriage is facing a breakdown. Because he is obsessed with chasing criminals and indulging in his own world, he points to his heart and says that I will leave all the pain here. Stay vigilant. These things are not for sharing—in fact, this is an eternal obstacle for men and women.

De Niro met the gentle bookstore clerk and asked her to follow him. She finally agreed. ——This is the first attraction between a man and a woman. He sees what he desires in her. But he finally went back, and at the last moment, he walked away from her without saying a word.

Chris said I would not go anywhere without her. And her wife promised to lead him out, and at the last moment, made a gesture to let him escape.
Michael had a whole family rich and warm, until he was shot and fell on the road, his wife was sitting quietly with housework.

It turns out that the robbers do other things besides robbery, and they also have tender moments besides killing people. They have their wit and cunning, they have their morals and faith. They cheated, theft, robbery, treachery (Is there? There must be!) In turn, in their world, cheating, theft, robbery, and treachery are absolutely unforgivable. Their lives are rich and professional, which, in turn, reflects the fact that the lives of good people (such as Al Pacino's character) have been shattered, pale and boring.

Standing on the opposite side of the world and looking at it, you find that the things you thought evil became exciting and great, and the things you thought normal became vulgar and tasteless.

However, as Hayek said: "The rules of individualistic morality, although not very precise in many respects, are general and absolute. They prescribe or prohibit a general type of behavior, no matter in a particular situation. Its ultimate goal is good or bad." The goal does not indicate the means and reason. So, therefore, robbers are robbers, and they are responsible for everything they do and deserve to be punished. Although this is a bit like a silly academic, but I still think that this is the foundation of Western civilization and morality, and I believe it.
