unselfish

A movie like "Unselfish" is really tasteful after watching it twice. Brian de Palma, known as Hitchcock's successor, presented us with a feast of justice and bravery fighting evil in 1987. It seems that it is not only bravery and justice, but more of the friendship and selfless spirit of being the master of the people. It can be seen that the director has put a lot of effort into the portrayal of the characters, and the performances of several actors are also very good. It has to be said that it is a classic work. (Especially the ladder scene in tribute to the silent movie "Battleship of Potemkin", which has become a classic in film history)

I have read Brian De Palma's "Scarface", and I have long known that his old man is an out-and-out violence controller, and he can grasp the rhythm and scale of violence every time. . I have also read the Hitchcock-like "Razor's Edge". The Razor's Murder scene in the elevator is the perfect combination of Shinto and Strength, and at that moment, the admiration in my heart arises spontaneously. Hello, master of violent suspense control!

    So childish. The appearance of the characters and the progression of the plot depended on accident, and there were several scenes that couldn't hold back the laughter.

    7.75 Too mediocre. Is this really the script of David Mamei who wrote the book? The character creation failed. The sub-screen script is basically a tragedy, and the editing is also very unskilled. Not very good visually, the actors perform well, the recognition is mediocre, the inevitability is lacking, and the music and the movie look in harmony. A sleepy movie.

    Ness: Hey, wait a minute! What the hell kind of policemen you got in this god damn city? You just turned your back on an armed man.

    Malone: You're a treasury officer.

    Ness: How do you know that? I just told you that.

    Malone: Who would claim to be that who was not? Hmm?

  • Ness: I have foresworn myself. I have broken every law I have sworn to uphold, I have become what I beheld and I am content that I have done right!
