no-nonsense thriller

Psychological thriller. The criminals divided the lawyer's family step by step, tortured their nerves, and finally had a big duel in the climax. Very Hollywood movie. The rhythm and atmosphere are well grasped.
The criminal is a confident, calm, and crazy man with tattoos all over his body, and ironically all biblical sentences or symbols of justice, paranoid. Actor De Niro does have that charisma, at times dashing, at times bursting like a beast. The moment he seduced Sam's daughter, the atmosphere was like a taut string, his smiling face and crepe tone were a little ghostly, and Sam's daughter's simple shy smile added to the ghostly atmosphere. Sam gradually became irritable and irritable during the harassment, reminding me of Jack in The Shining. Fortunately, he did not go crazy, and finally got the understanding of his family and could deal with the enemy together.
The night that Sam and his family waited for the prisoner to appear was a small climax. The climax should be the confrontation between the people on the boat in Cape Fear. The situation reversed several times, which was exhausting.
But to be honest, this film didn't surprise me, the music, performance, and plot are all typical thriller routines. My favorite performance is Sam's daughter (maybe a little weird), I think her smile is mysterious, perfect for a ghost movie or something -_-b

    Even if the lawyer deliberately conceals it, the guilty is still guilty, and the wicked is the wicked, but the wicked also has the right to defense. This is also the issue discussed in "Lincoln's Lawyer". This focus is on revenge. Pure commercial skin, but the pace is too slow for commercial films.

    As a top movie fan, Ma remakes Thompson's movie, and his style pays tribute to Hitchcock. De Niro has played the most powerful role, without the mental and language shaping. De Niro's sturdy limbs and strong muscles have been pressing on the screen, giving people a sense of rapid pressure. The repeated emphasis on letter tattoos seems to have been affected by "Hunter Night". Acting as a murderer who thinks of a martyr is simply a barrier that must be crossed to lead to the gods’ acting skills.

Cape Fear quotes

  • Max Cady: I'm Virgil and I'm guidin' you through the gates of Hell. We are now in the Ninth Circle, the Circle of Traitors. Traitors to country! Traitors to fellow man! Traitors to GOD! You, sir, are charged with betrayin' the principles of all three! Quote for me the American Bar Association's Rules of Professional Conduct, Canon Seven.

    Sam Bowden: "A lawyer should represent his client... "

    Max Cady: "Should ZEALOUSLY represent his client within the bounds of the law." I find you guilty, counselor! Guilty of betrayin' your fellow man! Guilty of betrayin' your country and abrogatin' your oath! Guilty of judgin' me and sellin' me out! With the power vested in me by the kingdom of God, I sentence you to the Ninth Circle of Hell! Now you will learn about loss! Loss of freedom! Loss of humanity! Now you and I will truly be the same...
