Because the film is based on real people and real events, the drama is a bit weak compared to the same classic gangster film "The Godfather", but the temperament and aura displayed are undoubtedly epic. The film is a very neat gangster film from the script to the photography and lighting. The setting of the opening ball in the 1970s, the texture of the film, as if people can feel the warm and wet sea breeze coming from Sicily. Several court scenes are also particularly exciting, the strong light hits the characters in black and white, the underworld boss is cruel and cold; the protagonist's decisiveness, the unreported calmness of the scene penetrates the picture. The Mafia is a very special existence in Italy, especially in Sicily, where it originated. This was originally a gangster organization that individuals joined as a career and straddled the business of legal favors with glorious beliefs. With the helpless change of new and old, power, and business changes, the organization has grown into a beast that some people cannot control. The director completed the transformation of the protagonist from the core of the organization to a "traitor" with two imagery dramas. One was to see the bloody image of two sons on the plane, and the second was the secret sign of phone sex with his wife. He was relieved of his wife. After the child is safe, he is determined to take revenge through "betrayal". The protagonist can be accused by thousands of husbands, and the people betrayed their relatives, but can't bear the fact that they have to rely on their wives to support them when they finally arrive in the United States. Borrowing from Douyou's short comment to the end: Picking up this gun of evil, there is no golden basin in this life; if you step out of this step, the way to go is the end of the world.
