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.

    Totally empathetic to a robber and drawn to his fate, from nervousness to despair

    The first half had a lot of laughs, but the second half suddenly became serious. I got used to this contrast, and I felt very deep inside.

Dog Day Afternoon quotes

  • Sonny: What's the matter with you? You shouldn't let something like that spoil your fun, you know. You got to get fun out of life.

  • Sonny: Shit. Where's the goddamn jet? They're always screamin' overhead, goin' somewhere, when you don't need 'em, you know.
