You hurt our interests

Although it is an old movie from 1987, it still doesn't feel stale. Sean Connery's powerful aura and very unique voice made him the focus of the movie as soon as he appeared, and the limelight obviously eclipsed the handsome Costner and Robert De Niro. He is still my favorite actor.

The government officials of a city and the big boss of an illegal business similar to the gang boss have formed a symbiosis with closely linked interests. Such a deformed social state has also existed in the United States. The long-term deformity finally becomes the norm when the public has formed a habit. If there is a person who wants to break this interest group, then he becomes the enemy of everyone. Thus the struggle began. Hong Kong has also appeared in similar movies depicting the ICAC fighting corruption. The end result is naturally that justice triumphs over evil.

Unfortunately, this is often not the case in reality.

    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?

    Palma is indeed a first-class director at best. Even the screenwriter of David Mamey has a hard time. The soundtrack of Mr. Mo is almost from the reminder of the past in the west. I need to be nervous~

  • Malone: [on the walkway underneath a bridge] OK, pal, why the mahaska? Why are you carrying the gun?

    Ness: I'm a treasury officer.

    Malone: Alright. Just remember what we talked about now.

    [Malone walks away]

    Ness: Hey, wait a minute! What the hell kind of policemen you got in this god damn city? You just turned your back on an armed man.

    Malone: You're a treasury officer.

    Ness: How do you know that? I just told you that.

    Malone: Who would claim to be that who was not? Hmm?

  • Ness: I have foresworn myself. I have broken every law I have sworn to uphold, I have become what I beheld and I am content that I have done right!
