I am interested in Mr. Martin because of Jiang Wen. Gangs, gunfights, violence, talk and talk, and women are all attractive to men. Putting a big historical background, a city, a small house, and a soundtrack on drums, no matter how beautiful the waltz is, it’s not as beautiful as this blood-stained demeanor.
At the beginning, Martin told you that the hero is finished, it looks like the opening chapter of "One Hundred Years of Solitude", watching a man's unrestrained and bursting life. In the background of the gang, no one is safe, but it is not clear what story he wants to tell.
Ace, who has an insight into the management of the casino, gradually deviates from the course because of a woman's dream. No one says that you can’t have a family when you do things for the gang. On the contrary, the gang values the family the most. The gang relationship with blood is the only sacred symbol of these people’s mutual dependence. A big sword, righteousness is the head, and family is important, that is, love and righteousness are important. The Aisin family has entered a state of decline and is close to destruction, but because of the importance of the family, they finally escaped and survived. But his 35-year-old brother was not so lucky. He was beaten with a baseball bat by his brothers and then buried naked.
Looking back on the plot, we will find that there are all traces to follow. The fast-paced violence and quarrels can be seen everywhere in the film, and the narration is switched extremely fast. It is not only Ais and Niqi who are explaining the story, but the psychological motives of the boys are also interspersed with them. The emotions and relationships of the characters become intricate during this period. Nicky was a person who indulged his desires in Las Vegas from the beginning. It was sooner or later that he was swallowed by himself. He appeared as a gang member who is better than his brother and bodyguard, but step by step betrayed his brother and Boss. From the first time I saw Ginger, Nick's eyes flashed with a strange light, like the selfish and pretentious arrogance that he was released by all the prosperous temptations of the casino. In the process of mediating brothers' family matters, he took advantage of the emptiness. Perhaps this is a kind of revenge for his brother Ace's violent predation of his lawlessness in the casino. But he certainly understood that Ginger was looking for a backer and wanted to use him. He knew better that he was a pleasure-seeking being involved in this relationship. When the younger brother hid the matter from the boss in his hometown, the seriousness of the problem was undoubtedly exposed. For gang bosses, disrupting other people's families will cause the internal part to fall apart and destroy the bonds of the group. This is the fundamental reason why bosses are taboo.
When Jin Geel finally found Nicky in a hysterical state and wanted to get the money to escape Ace, Nicky really abandoned her. At this time, Niqi regretted that Ginger would expose everything, and he could not hide the terrible consequences. It was his indulgence that put himself in a dangerous situation. Sitting at the door of the restaurant, he lost all his vigor in the past, heralding the tragic end of Nicchi.
Why did Ace survive? He seemed to be the initiator of the gambling dreams of the bosses. He married someone who didn't love him as his wife, and controlled Ginger like a thief all day long, but he couldn't completely give up this marriage. Ginger evaded him, lied and fled. The old lover was forced to give up because of Ace's compulsion, but he found Niqi as a foreign aid. Ginger did not insist on the love and marriage life where Ace existed, only for money. . Like Ace's narration, this is the source of all misery: treat people who shouldn't be trustworthy as trustworthy. When we are eager to seek something that is impossible to obtain, we are extremely blind and self-confident. Even when we see the ending, we have no hesitation. This emotion is the root of people's irrationality, but it is the fateful choice of certain characters.
Fortunately, Ace did not cross the red line. He survived. Nicky and Ginger died tragically. The gambling glory he created in the past is not there. The gambling curse of the reborn casino still attracts ordinary people and tycoons from all directions. , Put all your worth into the money basket of the dealer. Ace naturally makes money for the bosses. This is a good ending for a technocrat with a bottom line. However, he lost his brother and wife and had to bury all the past.
Ace is an idealist. When he was worried about the operation of the casino, he refused the benefit exchange of the county counseling officials, but he forgot that the money of the gang's investment in the casino and the establishment of the casino were originally wrong. All he wanted to resist was It's just himself. Like his love for Ginger, it ended without a disease.
Similar to "Once Upon a Time in America", it tells about the loss of brothers and love, but the main emotional clues are more difficult to grasp. Because of the background of the establishment of the casino, the film is also trivial and procrastinating. This kind of extremely realistic chattering, lacking some environment for the audience to try to figure out human nature, but it combines the psychedelic surface of the casino with the bloody violence in the shadows, and the eruptive emotions and bloody scenes are full of hormones. Collision, the flavor that is tasted in the hustle and bustle, is the long-term attractive pleasure of gangster movies.
