Alcohol doesn't reduce to a good behavior.

This movie is quite interesting.

The old patrolman played by Sean Connelly and Capone, the mob boss played by De Niro, are particularly eye-catching.

Justice Old Patrol

Sean Connelly's Oscar for Best Supporting Actor is well deserved.

#police code 1, stand till you get off work alive.

#police code 2, if you want to keep it secret, don't tell your boss the information source.

#So have you made up your mind? What's next?

#ThisItalian ruffian is exactly the person we are looking for.

There are too many golden sentences, and a righteous old patrolman has a pleasing and three-dimensional image. Although more than half of the film, the plot of the old man played by Sean Connelly being silenced by a gangster killer is a bit sad, but I have to say that he actually died well-without the blood shed for justice, how to reflect justice is invaluable. Doing a revolution is never a dinner party.

This guy is a bit of a tiger

The boss played by De Niro has a special accent. Strong-armed, dark-bellied, bloody, literate, hobbies, and discerning.

Different from the usual image of a gangster or a workplace boss in our general impression, the authority of the boss and the control of the boss over his subordinates are often reflected in his invisibility, elusiveness and mystery. , so there are often sayings like "accompanying the king is like accompanying a tiger".

But the eldest Capone in this movie is very funny. It's too naive to be naive, and he is fierce and fierce.

There is a particularly funny scene where Capone, played by De Niro, clashes with the Federal Investigator, played by Kevin. He rolled his arms and punched, ready to tear himself off the court, but the left and right guards couldn't hold back -- this big guy is really a bit of a tiger.

What's even more amusing, Federal Commissioner Kevin confronted him for a while and then left. Capone flicked his fingers and made a majestic comparison sentence:

#I want this guy dead!

#I want his family dead!

#I want his house burned to the ground!

# I want to go there in the middle of the night and piss on his ashes!

Let's talk about it, the one who got angry, the one who became angry, the one who didn't show his arrogance when you thought I was HelloKitty was very funny.

As far as this boss is concerned, the main feeling is that he does not play cards according to the routine - he was still talking about teamwork in the first second, which caused other big names in the same seat to nod frequently, and the next second where the baseball bat went, blood flowed into rivers; sometimes he was thoughtful. He is ruthless and ruthless, sometimes reckless and impulsive.

Capone's mood and anger are completely color-coded, but it is useless for his subordinates and opponents to see these emotions and anger; because the shock and oppression he exudes to subordinates and opponents is not out of letting go. There is no way for the other party to guess his true intentions, but it stems from his rapidly changing intentions-it is completely impossible to figure out when Capone wants to switch to what style of painting. I think this is super amazing.

Serious and dedicated little fresh meat

Andy Garcia played the Italian ruffian (crossed out, in fact, they are from the police) is also very good, not many scenes but a strong sense of presence. And he is so handsome. He looks like a typical southerner in the United States, with a little bit of Latin America and a little bit of southern Italy.

In the well-received "modern love story" before, Andy also appeared on the scene, which is the love story that spanned 17 years in the second story.

# Two literary youths, the encounter when they were young is a bit #love in the dawn of dawn# In you are reading me, and I am watching your tune.
The male and female lead left their contact information, but lost it.
There is no mobile phone facebook twitter.
So they never met again...
It was not until 17 years later that the heroine's new book signing was reunited.
no double divorce;
There is no disconnection;
Just a good explanation and goodbye.

Although Andy Garcia is thirty years older, he is still handsome.

The male protagonist Kevin looks too straight and is more face-like, but the overall completion of the role is still very high. He is a (then) little fresh meat who acts seriously. Although the scene where the two were scolding each other at the stairs, the momentum was obviously suppressed and beaten by De Niro, but we can't ask too much from a little fresh meat, can we?

Movie background and some crankiness

At the beginning of the movie, I didn't really understand it, but I really couldn't understand why alcohol was banned.

From a modern point of view, drinking is a personal freedom. As long as drinking does not violate the law, infringe legal interests, or lead to harmful results, why should drinking itself be completely banned?

Especially in 2020, the United States announced that marijuana has been liberalized, and it is legal to possess a small amount of heroin and other drugs. Looking back to see that alcohol was banned in 1920? Why ban alcohol?

I have to say, 100 years have changed a lot. . .

So I checked the background information about Prohibition in the United States 100 years ago. Oh, I'm going, I just don't know if I don't know, I'm shocked, what religion, what progressive civil rights, what feminist rights, and even capital pressure from companies such as Coca-Cola and so on - worthy of being an immigrant country, element quite rich.

As for the collusion between the police and the gangsters, the gangsters eat the gangsters, this is relatively easy to understand. After all, I can easily bring in 500 million detectives and the lame brother when I grew up watching Hong Kong-made films.

What’s interesting is that in this series of bloody and dark backgrounds, some behaviors that lead people to be kind are objectively and passively entrained. For example, Capone, the Chicago gangster at the time, had extremely high requirements for product quality, and the “shelf life” was short. It has been successfully popularized; and Capone attaches great importance to establishing the image of the gang, which is reflected in the fact that he is very particular about his clothes and clothes, and on the other hand, he is enthusiastic about public welfare and charity.

There is also a particularly interesting point in this movie, and it will be used for a long time in many future movies involving commercial crime investigation, underworld warfare, and commercial warfare. A teacher must be a warrior who must fight.

    Sean Connery is such a tough guy. The footage of intercepting the accountant at the train station is really thrilling. The most interesting thing is the shot of Sean cut to the side of the opera singer after being shot, and the tragic feeling reveals a little helplessness insignificant.
