he is an agent. During the undercover process, it may be that his personality is too attractive, and he was swayed. When the target trusted him, he led him into the Mafia and pledged him. Until it was finally prompted that the most trusted person was a government agent, the Mafia paid a huge price, and he also paid the price of his life.
When he died, he didn't even blame him, "Who is that agent, I am glad it will be him."
Everything comes from a man's appreciation of men. This is a movie worth spending 2 hours to taste.
The movie "The Traitor" is based on real events and tells the story of a federal agent's undercover career in the Mafia. When it comes to undercover, it is easy to think of the "Infernal Affairs" series of movies. Comparing the movie "The Loyal Traitor" and "Infernal Affairs", which was filmed in 1997, we can see that "Infernal Affairs" is better than "The Loyal Traitor" in terms of the plot of the story. In terms of characterization and the depth of the film, "Falty and Traitor" is higher than "Infernal Affairs". The confrontation between the police and the bandit is the main thread that runs through from the beginning to the end in "Nothing", and all the plots are also unfolded accordingly. This is completely a life-and-death contest. In the film "Loyalty", the director put a lot of space into the depiction of the Mafia, except for the protagonist Dawney in the film, the FBI is in a completely auxiliary position in the film.
What attracted me the most about this movie was the personal charm of the three actors: Johnny Depp, Al Pacino, and Michael Madison. Johnny Depp, a famous Hollywood guy, once squeezed out Brad Pitt and was elected the sexiest man. Although he belongs to the kind of actor who can fascinate women, Depp’s acting skills are obviously higher than that Brad Pitt. In "Loyalty", Depp plays Downey, the undercover agent in the Mafia. This role itself gives the actor a lot of room to play. On the one hand, he has to work, and on the other hand, he has to face the complaints of his wife and children and come home. Even the daughter didn't bother to talk to him. At the same time, the special nature of undercover work determines that he will take great risks and be in a kind of stress and depression every day, and the supervisor of the Bureau of Investigation will give him more dangerous tasks from time to time. In the dilemma of lack of support, Dawney is in a kind of torment. In the circle of the underworld, the top boss Leferty placed great trust in him, and even regarded him as his own family. The higher-level boss Sonny also took good care of him and kept him by his side all the time. He was full of tragedy. Lafferty, he always had a guilty mentality. At the end of the film, he insisted on leaving the millions of cash embezzled to Lafferty to fulfill his dream and buy a boat for him. Throughout the whole movie, Downey is in three main contradictions. The fierce collision of these three contradictions puts his mental pressure on the verge of collapse.
Michael Madison is not a star. The first time I saw him was in Robert De Niro's movie, he was of course played by the Mafia. I mention him because, whether in appearance or performance, he is very much like the Mafia in the role, Sonny Black. This is a cruel, cunning, and bold character. In Lefferty's words, he is a poisonous snake hidden in the grass. He can plan to kill the boss, and then take the power himself. He can kill for a little thing, and at the same time he is extremely conceited. When the evidence that Downey is a federal agent is before him, he still stubbornly says that Downey can't be an undercover agent. This is probably the most exciting in the film. Also the most ironic piece. Sonny's voice was low and hoarse, which coincided with his vicious and vicious character. For such a character, you will feel that no matter how tragic the end is, you deserve it.
Al Pacino, the second-generation godfather of the year, in all the movies he starred in, he will always be the sharpest one. You will easily feel that the brilliance of other actors will be completely lost. He snatched it. Different from the posture of the strong in the past, in the film "Loyalty", Al Pacino played Raffy is a small mafia figure, this role is full of a tragic color, worked for the mafia 30 Years ago, but never had the opportunity to be in position, he chattered endlessly, always repeating his "contributions", he was not cruel enough, not unsympathetic enough, which also determines that he will always be a small role. On the other hand, he owes money to the organization because his son was forced to borrow money for drug abuse. He was tired of the mafia, and the reason for staying was debt. He hates his son and hates iron and steel. The feeling of love and hatred was vividly interpreted by Al Pacino in two shots. When he went out to take drugs, he raised his head and glanced at his son. When watching the film, this action gave me a great shock. In real life, this action appears in the scenes when many parents watch their ineffective sons go out to mess around. Pacino's interpretation is simply a manifestation of real life. The second scene is where Lafferty’s son was taken into the operating room because of drug abuse. The life and death of Laverty’s son was unknown to Dawn in the seat in the corridor. There was a saying at that time that he was in this hospital. He was born, and now I have to watch him enter the operating room, waiting for the news of his life and death, Pacino showed the love for his children naturally and sincerely. For Dawnie, Leverty is more like a kind of sustenance of the elders. It can be said that he regards Dawnie as his son and defends him in all aspects. At the same time, he regards Dawnie as his own hope. He sees it in him. but hope things have been unattainable for Downey's attention, for he embodies the ideal kind of sustenance, for such a person, it can only sorrow
Laifo Di is not Al Pacino classic Works, but the strong tragic plot he showed in the film can be memorable.
I just watched this movie and I started to want to write something. Maybe for me, the first half of the movie doesn’t suit my taste very much, because it’s all about how an FBI got involved in the underworld. The plot is not as tense as Infernal Affairs, so I watched it. It feels a bit procrastinating. In the second half, I seem to feel that this is not a film about the underworld and police dealings, but a film about the friendship and loyalty between men. It just puts friendship and loyalty into a specific environment and tells us about it. hear. Al. Pacino’s role as the little boss gave me the impression from the beginning that he is a member of the underworld who is forced to live but desires to breathe freely like a normal person, not a gangster. On the one hand, he loves his family, on the one hand he has to take risks because of his family, on the one hand, he is eager to make a lot of money or become his successor, on the other hand, he just wants to have enough money and leave. His image is like the projection of thousands of little people. Who wants to risk their lives to do those illegal activities, who wants to kill? If it were not for the embarrassment of life, no one would like to live in such an environment. And Al. The little boss played by Pacino reveals more human aspects. It’s like when he lets Downey and his family spend Christmas together, as when he is describing the way he and Downey are in a bar, as when all his fantasies become disappointed and helpless eyes sitting on the bow of the ship, as if he takes All the contradictions had been anticipated when the newspaper was published. It was like putting on his coat peacefully, taking off all his valuables and waiting for the peace of death. . . The last sentence he said was: "Tell Downey if there is a spy, I hope it is you." In fact, he hopes that Downey is a good person, and that all the crimes of the underworld can be exposed. He hopes that everything will be over. Because he already knew that Dawnie was an undercover agent, but he didn't disclose it. This also thought that as a guarantor, he would die for Dawnee one day, but he did not reveal it in the end because of the friendship and loyalty between the men. . . .
While Downey could have gotten away after completing the task, he could not get away. Because he holds the life of another person who trusts him and cares about him. During the police inspection, he planned to hide 300,000 US dollars in his home. He had already planned to give the money to his guarantor, hoping that he could escape with the money. When they were discussing the last action at the dock, Downey suddenly said to Ben: "Do you remember the boat you talked about? How much is it?" Downey knew that after the last mission was completed, he was not far from being exposed. , And Ben is close to death, he just wants Ben to leave here as soon as possible. Then he said, "Didn't you say that as long as there are 300,000 yuan, you can fly far away? Isn't this your dream?" He can't wait, and hope Ben will leave soon. In fact, the last action has not been completed yet. He has been taken away by the FBI, with his anxiety and regret, deceit and guilt.
This is indeed a very good film. Although the young Depp is handsome, he can't surpass Al pacino's edge. I don’t know why, I look at Al pacino’s face and think he is a good person, just as I look at Jean. Renault's face never felt that he was acting a bad person. They all have the same charm.
