Dedicated to Al Pacino with a film review

Nolan 2022-01-26 08:02:58

It's been many days since I watched this film last month, but I still can't forget Al Pacino's eyes. Al Pacino has a lot of excellent works, well-known such as The Godfather, Scent to Know a Woman, Scarface, Loyal Traitor, but I love him the most. It doesn't seem to be so famous. The hot afternoon, another translation is very interesting. , the hot day called Dog Day is also in line with this film.

The story is very conventional. The robbers failed to rob and were watched by onlookers, and were later killed by the police and taken away. The 12-hour robbery turns into a farce, and the absolute protagonist of the film is only Sonny, played by Al Pacino, a bisexual man with two lovers. Oh, by the way, the purpose of his robbery is also very simple, in order to raise money for his boyfriend for sex reassignment surgery, you see, even the purpose is so simple. Sonny can't even be called a qualified robber. He is too gentle with the hostages, and even being educated by the hostages, he also tries his best to meet the hostages' requirements and think about the hostages. Yes, Sonny is such an extremely gentle person. He is extremely gentle to the world, but his two lovers don't care about him. Maybe the ending of the film about the two lovers is the best compliment for his gentleness, right? is a compliment.

If you want to see how handsome Pacino was when he was young, go to the godfather, everyone will recommend it, but I will choose a hot afternoon, because I can't forget those eyes, and I can't forget Pacino as he said. : One of my best performances.
