Al Pacino and Sean Penn's names double as insurance for the watchability of "Carlito's Way." Contrary to TWINS, which must be a bad movie, Al Pacino's name is undoubtedly equal to the label of a classic movie.
What impressed me most about Al Pacino in the film is that his charming beard is as sharp as a falcon behind his sunglasses. s eyes. Sean Pan's lawyer's appearance is really vulgar. At that time, his face was as pink and tender as dough, and his facial features had no contours, so plain that he could wipe his facial features clean from his face with just a touch of his hand. The acting is good, and the characters are portrayed with three points. (I just watched Sean Penn's "Milk" last week. It's very sissy and vicissitudes. I'm really not used to it.)
Love in the rivers and lakes seems to always be in opposition to life and death, just like you can't have both. The film also runs through this fate without exception. The villain is full of evil and the bad boy can always be strong and tenacious. No matter how the knife is light and blood, it will be foolproof, but once the heart is moved and the life of ordinary people is moved, it will become too fragile to withstand a single blow, and even lose it in the end. life. This may be in response to the phrase "children are long in love, but heroes are short-lived". The same is true of Carlito in the film. If he hadn't moved his heart of recluse, how could he have moved a woman's patience with Banley and eventually led to his death by this scum. The rivers and lakes are a road of no return. There is no difference between stepping into the rivers and lakes with one foot and stepping into Buddhism with one foot. It is necessary to abandon the seven emotions and six desires in order to cultivate a positive result. If Carlito had understood this truth early on, and had brought down the bad essence, this would not have been the case. I hate this screenwriter. He is stingy and refuses to give Carlito a chance to look back. Judging from all his efforts, I think he should be able to be happy. Why is morality so harsh? !
The narration of the film is very classic, every word is Zhuji. It seems that the body outside the body transformed by the master turns to look back at the trajectory of his life. Everything is so clear of cause and effect, and every node of life is so clear. If people want to have an epiphany, they must be after death, if they really have a soul, and they jump out of the circle to comment on the bits and pieces of their life. At this time, they will find that many of them cannot give up and choose when they are alive. Or even if the thing you are facing is life and death, it will be as transparent and simple as a blank sheet of paper at that time. When Kalito was lying on the stretcher, his eyes were calm and bright. The narrator could also use the intern to humor everyone. This humor is as black and white as the color of the movie. I wanted to laugh, but my eyes were full of tears. . "Dear, I tried my best." Kalito recited the last line in his heart, and slowly closed his eyes. Jianghu and happiness finally came to an end at this moment.
PS: The theme song "you are so beautiful" is really beautiful~~

    Such stories, how to balance the relationship between "betrayed by brothers" and "friends should be like things together"? If the protagonist is stupid, it's nothing more than being exploited and sold out. If you are shrewd and sophisticated, but don't know what your brother is like, then you deserve to be unlucky. But it deserves to be unlucky, and it doesn't match the mood that the film is trying to convey, so it contradicts itself. In this regard, brotherhood is not as easy to grasp as femme fatale. The latter can make it more reasonable to commit knowingly. Of course, homosexual affection can provide an excuse for a shrewd male protagonist to create a speculative blind spot like an obsession with femme girls. The problem with the love lords is: the other clue is pure traditional heterosexuality, so there is only the excuse of street philosophy. But in street philosophy, in addition to the loyalty of the buddies, there is more experience in observation and judgment and danger warning! At this time, Pacino was like a different person.

    I love the way Al Pacino plays, and the two films with Brian De Palma are my favorites. But this one isn't as good as Scarface.
