Vegas Past

There is some difference between the overall feeling of Martin Scorsese's previous movies. The atmosphere of the film noir has faded, and what is more prominent is the excitement that is like a burst of breath in "Goodfella".

At the beginning of the moment, before coming back to God, the sudden explosion scene turned to match the symphony and the red phantom. The gang's killing tactics were jaw-dropping under the flashy Vegas music.

The acting skills of Joe Pessi and De Niro deeply rooted the characters, and I have to admire Sharon Stone, which is really surprising and self-destructive among the drunken fans.

The details of the film, as well as the music, through the perspective of these gangsters, simply show the Las Vegas that year, the soul-stirring legend. This movie is "Once Upon a Time in Las Vegas" in my mind.
