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!

    Although there are still some famous scenes, such as train station volleys, it seems that Brian De Palma's technique is really outdated. The old soundtrack will keep reminding you of this cruel fact...

    I express my opinion to all the writers and directors who just want to make a movie and make a textbook. Hahahaha

The Untouchables quotes

  • Reporter: [interviewing Capone while a barber shaves him] And what of your reputation for violence? That those who don't buy your product are dealt with violently?

    Capone: [pulls his face away from the razor, sees that he's bleeding slightly, the barber looks horrified] S'alright. I grew up in a tough neighborhood and we used to say "You can get further with a kind word and a gun than you can with just a kind word."

  • Capone: [to reporters] I'm gonna tell you something. Somebody messes with me, I'm gonna mess with with him. Somebody steals from me, I'm gonna say you stole. Not talk to him for spitting on the sidewalk. Understand? Now, I have done nothing to harm these people but they are angered with me, so what do they do, doctor up some income tax, for which they have no case. To speak to me like me, no, to harass a peaceful man. I pray to god if I ever had a grievance I'd have a little more self respect. One more thing, you have an all out prize fight, you wait until the fight is over, one guy is left standing. And that's how you know who won.
