Lonely in the end

At first, he thought it was a comedy, until Sonny talked to his lover and asked him to have money for sex reassignment surgery. He was his motivation to rob a bank, but he was eager to draw a line with Sonny for the promise of the police.

Sonny's phone call with his wife, she kept talking, eager to express to Sonny everything she felt, not leaving a chance for Sonny to interject, just a few short phone calls when Sonny was robbing the bank. Minutes and so, it's not hard to imagine how many chattering days and nights Sonny had spent. No one at home gave him the opportunity to express himself, and his feelings have always been endured by himself.

Then his mother came, and I was thinking that finally someone close to him would come to see him. But his mother and the FBI told him everything, thinking that this would give him his freedom, but it actually exposed his weakness. He told her that the longer we talked, the more they would think I wanted to negotiate and would not give me the plane. Mother was completely unable to understand him, before and now.

The last group got on the bus, the hostages protected him and Shal, and there was a hint of elation. When they got to the airport, the girl who was released told Schar to not be nervous for the first time on the plane. But in the next second, Shar was killed, Sonny was controlled, and he watched the hostages as Shar was being carried away. The hostages formed a circle and stopped looking at them. Before, a little warmth between them would only exist at a certain time and place. Once the situation changed, they were still strangers. He will spend the next twenty years behind bars alone.

    [Taipei Golden Horse Film Festival Screening] The first time I saw it, I was surprised that the first half was so humorous and funny, the theater was full of joy, and the robbers' behavior was naive. And the female teller is hilarious and sarcastic. Issues such as the Vietnam War trauma, media ugliness, and queer communities that have been addressed and revealed have added depth. The ending is not difficult to guess, but the second half is too protracted, just like the hot weather in the film. Al Pacino is great

    The Godfather's Las Vegas brother. Pacino still works with him quite often. Actually, I think he played really well. The Stockholm symptom doesn't seem so low-level, it seems reasonable, psychological terms always elevate the trickle of ongoing events to a horrifying angle. Is this the generalizing and revealing power of the term, or does it actually go against the feel of what is actually happening?
