It took two days after the power outage and breakfast time to finally make up the 2 hours and 17 minutes movie. It is definitely a classic crime film, and it is seamlessly integrated with commerce, and it can also win a little favor from the academy. [I personally think this film is more worthy of the best film of the year than Titanic] The performance of several male protagonists and supporting actors are remarkable. However, two of them became the future actor [Kevin Spacey in the 72nd "American Beauty", Russell Crowe in the 73rd "Gladiator"]
Although the whole story is more than 2 hours long, except for the first third In addition to the fact that the characters are relatively plain, almost the whole article has no urine points. The latter half of the article is gradually collected as evidence is gradually collected, and it makes people want to stop. The climax of the whole film is concentrated in the gun battle at the last hotel, which is corrupt. The inspector-in-chief was killed by the team leader of the pursuit of justice. Originally, such a gun battle would end a case a little bit abruptly, but after the foreshadowing of the previous plot: the entire Los Angeles White Road was originally a sensual dog, and officials at all levels were stunned, so Los Angeles does not need and cannot get justice in the traditional sense. Trial.
Thinking of the beginning of the whole article, the inspector asked the protagonist: Will you shoot and kill a guilty person and avoid his lawyers to excuse him? From the beginning, the protagonist resolutely disagrees, and after the whole incident, he finally uses actions to show that he will shoot. Gradually understand that in a cruel society, idealized defenders cannot survive, and sometimes abandon them in order to better protect other things. The police circle is not used to purify the society, it is just to make the society look more orderly, it is not selfless, it is more as a gray wandering in the black, playing tricks or solving or whitewashing problems. , To leave a fig leaf for the public and myself, this is gray justice.
Each of the three agents has its own characteristics. The sleek, sophisticated Jack Vinson (Kevin Spacey) acts recklessly, but Budwhite (Russell Crowe) is stubborn, but the stubborn Edmund Eisley (Gai Pierce). The few people who originally disliked each other were either because of the awakening of the essence of kindness in the bottom of their hearts, or because of the belief in pursuing the truth, or because of the determination to unearth those who are at large. They investigate the case in their own way. In the end, Vincent was killed by the Inspector General because he first touched on the truth. Bud and Asley were determined to work together to find evidence but were trapped by the setting up. They could only break a blood path. Finally, Asley withstood the Inspector’s temptation. , Chose to defend the justice in his heart in the same way as Bud-no one can get away with it. There is no need for the truth to be revealed. The director and Asley covered up the internal corruption scandal and Asley was promoted, perhaps his grey methods could be better used.
Black Los Angeles, twisted gray justice. This is where happy end
ps can feel the acting skills of Kevin Spacey, and the cynical smile makes the character come alive in an instant. Russell Crowe looked much more immature than when he took the actor later, compared to the other two, he played relatively well. Gapierce... it feels like he hasn't changed for so many years. Several facial close-ups in the film, especially when the inspector-general asked him at the end, the fleeting horror in his eyes was really praised.
There are several clues in the film, and Aisley's glasses run through the whole story. [Every time he takes off his glasses, he can't see the truth behind it] There is also the collective name Eisley gave to people at large—Rolo Tomasi. In the end, Vincent smiled and left the name as his last words before he died. The chief inspector silly asked Eisley the name directly, this way of exposing himself in a dramatic way was really amazing.
