dog day afternoon

Sonny barked at people off the court, "Attica! Attica!" So young, so explosive. The brothers in the dormitory can't always connect Hanna in "Heat", Slade in "Scent of a Woman" with this Sonny. Most of the time, all we see are old and spicy Al. "Dog Day Afternoon" is a must-see, even Al himself calls it the pinnacle of his acting.

"Attica! Attica!" is one of the 75 classic lines in the 79th Oscar poster. Attica is a character mentioned in the film. It is said that he killed a total of 42 hostages in a certain operation. Because the police ignored him, it was not good for the protection of the hostages, and he despised life, so there was such an outcome. Not the madness of Attica, but the police, the people, the whole age. Sonny, who was robbed at gunpoint, was interviewed on the radio, and the crowd shouted Sonny's name outside, calling him a hero, and the black man who brought the pizza patted Sonny on the shoulder and yelled "I'm a fuckin star!" ( Several TV stations are broadcasting the closure live).

The story after the Vietnam War is the same as in "Taxi Driver", but why didn't I see so many cops for gangs there? Criminals aren't as afraid of so-called federal legislation as they are in "Dog Day Afternoon." Maybe it's because hell is different, anyway, that's the crazy generation. Because of the young Al, because of the great script, because of that great bank robbery, because of Ling's unofficial translation - Afternoon of the Dog Day, I like it.

    Lumei sharply sees the class essence behind real events. Every time Sonny negotiates, it is a show. The entrance of the bank is a stage for the whole world to see. Everyone expects to see a martial artist or an old clown, but unexpectedly, they see a mortal who pretends to be a robber. He is not even an actor, and only performs on the stage. What a frivolous thing. And who dares to laugh at mediocrity, or say, people like themselves? No wonder Sonny gets sympathy on and off the screen...

    It's so extraordinary, the most "exotic" bank robbery scene I've ever seen. It is to break the tense and simple confrontation between robbers and hostages in the traditional plot, reflecting the complexity of society and not only the tension of the situation; it is to cut directly from the act of robbery without explaining the history, and the output is turbulent from the perspective of acting alone. amount of information. On the surface, they are two unlucky thieves, but in fact they carry many issues without knowing it. Consciousness and method have the quality of a documentary, Lu Meite handed over the master's handwriting everywhere.
