Underrated movie

I just wanted to find a De Niro movie casually. It didn't take long for the movie to find out how even the gangsters are all in the Armani men's suit hahaha, I guess this movie is definitely extraordinary.

The young Kevin's acting skills are still a bit young (although not very good), but it does not hinder the narrative of this kind of film.

Connery’s 007 series have not been seen. In this movie, he played the role of a mentor, helping to inspire Nas, an agent who has just experienced frustration, step by step.

De Niro didn't play much, but a few words revealed the arrogance of a gang boss.

Morricone's soundtrack is also exciting and full of passion.

But the biggest highlight of the film is Parma’s shots,

Several long shots are very distinctive and pave the way for the plot, always making the movie one after another.

It also has a certain perspective in terms of perspective, which is rare in movies in the 1980s.

Focusing on the close-up of Nas’s face, but also taking in the anxious and sad Malone behind

Such a lens is full of information, and not only can the language of the character express the image of the character and the inner struggle, it shows the carefulness of the shooting. This technique was also used incisively and vividly in the later "The Hateful Eight".

In fact, the scene that attracted me the most was the first-person long shot that lasted for a few minutes. It was thrilling. I never thought that this was a 1987 movie. In that era when the shooting technique was slightly monotonous, it really made my eyes shine.

After all, I watched one less old movie of this kind, and I became numb to a certain extent after the filming, so I am very happy to be able to see this kind of movie.

    20110621 kyxq Brian DePalma's early works, young Costner, old De Niro, old Connery, the story is about the four tigers fighting against evil forces in the American police during the prohibition period. The black and white contest, the plot is very simple, it was a typical Hollywood production at that time, and there was almost nothing new and bright except for De Niro's performance. The middle station passage is a tribute to the Odessa steps. Movie music is good.

    Some characters are very tasteless, and the children's scenes and slow motion are deliberately uninspiring. I like Morricone's soundtrack very much, but I didn't hear any surprises this time. Is it because I watched it too late?
