The film should tell the story of the Mafia in the 1970s (and possibly the early 1980s) in the United States. Donnie, played by Johnny Depp, is an FBI agent. After gaining the trust of Lefty, a small mafia leader played by Al Pacino, he broke into the mafia, became an undercover agent, and reported the inside of the mafia to his superiors on time. condition. This is the first part of the film. It can be said that the plot of the first part of the story is very protracted, at least I thought so at the time, because this nearly two and a half hours of film full of foul language, I divided it three times before watching it. Maybe it's the plot, so, for the first hour, I was talking about what happened to Donnie to gain trust and Lefty to test each other and the dialogue between the two sides, so when I first saw 1 hour, I decided not to Looking at it again, the story seems too bland. The middle one still made me feel that the plot of the movie was dragging on. It was not until I finished watching the remaining nearly 1 hour that I understood the importance of detailing in such a drama starring acting stars. The second half of the story reaches its climax. After Donnie gradually develops reverence for Lefty, Lefty also fully trusts Donnie, and has a big vote with the gang boss with Donnie-the gang boss is connected to the pot and dismembered ( The murder and dismemberment scenes are a bit disgusting), Lefty shot and killed one of his own during the dismemberment process, because the gang leader knew that there was a ghost in the gang, but he did not suspect Donnie because of this, but married another gang backbone by mistake. The plot seems familiar in Infernal Affairs. Donni, who has gained the trust of the gang because of this incident, is trapped in it and cannot escape, so that he is gradually becoming a mafia in his heart. When Donnie quietly went home and wanted to give Lefty the $300,000 that he had hidden to let him wash his hands, Donnie's wife could no longer tolerate her husband's whereabouts, and thought that her husband had become a member of the mafia. . Donnie's answer is yes. He thinks he can't get out, because if Donnie quits at this time it means Lefty will be "internally dealt with" by the Mafia. While talking to his wife, Johnny. Depp portrays Donnie's inner conflict in great detail, on the one hand, Lefty, who trusts and respects him, and on the other hand, his beloved wife who cannot be taken care of due to the nature of his work. Of course, Donnie chose to get the job done, or rather the love of the rivers and lakes. At the end of the film, when Lefty encourages Donnie to kill the gang veteran's son so that Donnie can officially join the gang, the FBI suddenly shows up and arrests the two, while the old Lefty shouts to Donnie like a child whose father doesn't do anything to educate: "Remember. Don't say anything, don't say anything when they ask you, the lawyer will bring it out for you in 24 hours." It could be seen that old Lefty was afraid that Donnie would not understand and said something to tell the whole gang out, but I What the director wants to show is that Lefty treats Donnie like his own child, for fear that he will go to jail. Among them, Lefty still has no doubts about Donnie, which shows how much Lefty trusts Donnie. Of course, none of them went to jail for attempted murder, but the FBI told the Mafia about Donnie's true identity afterwards. None of the mafia leaders who learned of the incident believed it to be true, preferring to think it was an FBI trap. But apparently, the gang leader has already blamed the shame on old Lefty. That night, Lefty received a call from the gang and asked him to go out. He knew that this trip would never come back, so he calmly kissed his wife and prepared to go out. But at this time the director gave a very good detail: Lefty has never had much money, so that he often spends Donnie's money in the play. Before going out, he went back to the living room and put all the valuables on him, including watches, necklaces, rings, cash, and some documents, in the drawer, ready to go out, then turned around and opened the drawer, maybe I'm afraid my family won't be able to see it. An old drama bone is an old drama bone. Al Pacino portrayed this plot so thoroughly that he could not see that this was the last thing he wanted to do before he was sent to death. After completing the above actions, the door that Lefty had been preparing to open but had not opened was finally opened by Lefty. After closing the door, it was pitch black, and then there was a gunshot. The screen switched to the scene where Donnie practiced shooting. The lens can't help but remind people of "This Killer Is Not Too Cold" Natalie. That classic shot of Portman opening the door. Lefty died and Donnie regained her identity, but the director used the FBI to award Donnie an award at the end of the film to insinuate the U.S. government. At the award ceremony, apart from Donnie's wife and three children, only one photographer was busy taking pictures. The scene was very deserted. Obviously, the government was going through the motions. When Donnie took the $500 prize and the medal in her hand, Donnie didn't smile at all, but silently looked at the check and medal in her hand. The director seems to use this to make the audience compare, the government's indifference + $500 + worthless medal + long-term loss of a loved one, and the trust of an elderly person whom he respects is more important, is this balance? Seeing this, I recalled the meticulous portrayal of the dialogue between the characters in the previous part of the film, and understood that the director's description of the characters' personalities and thought changes is so important that there is no foreshadowing of the characters' personalities and emotions in the previous part. Such a wonderful ending can be very abrupt and unconvincing. In addition, the English name of this film is "Donnie Brasco", which is the name of Johnny Depp when he was undercover in the film, and I think it would be better to translate it into "The Loyal Traitor", which fully reflects the character's undercover period. Contradictory psychology. The film is a good film, and I advise everyone to be patient when watching it, otherwise it will definitely not last for an hour. That's all I've said about this film, I'll recommend it another day if there's a good film.
