Sam Mendes has a very strong grasp of the movie. In fact, the story can be told in three or two sentences, but in the hands of the director, it has become a wonderful movie, especially the details of the shots and music. Especially intriguing.
The sound of the Scottish bagpipes at the beginning is very melodious and pleasant, and then the right music has been running through the film. The most unforgettable scene is the scene where Mike kills in the rain. It's all soundtrack, no slow motion. During the normal march, a person falls down, and all he hears is music, only music, and no gunshots. Then, the killer in the distance approached, walked to the last remaining Paul Newman, made a choice between the contradictions, raised the gun, and shot. The music stopped and gunshots rang out. This series of arrangements is really wonderful.
This movie is really a lot of big names, not to mention Tom Hanks and Paul Newman; Jude Law is very popular, but the development in the past two years has not made much breakthrough; Daniel Craig must not have imagined that he would one day become The next Bond, also widely praised; and Stanley Tucci only two or three scenes, he has gradually become popular in the past two years, wearing prada devil, cute bones, Julie and Julia and other movies more and more. more and more mature.
In the end, the child did not follow the old path of his father. The father gave him a new life with his own life, and the road of destruction brought rebirth.

    As you can tell from the name, this is another tragic end for a gang member. What a movie with a good sense of picture, I quietly learned a lot of composition experience. Fog, rain, snow, darkness and pure white, almost all the plots are done cleanly in these colors, the blood red is the finishing touch, it seems that the so-called violent aesthetics is to not forget to design colors, sounds and poses while killing people Bar. Although the plot is vulgar, the scene is intoxicating!

Road to Perdition quotes

  • Michael Sullivan: When I say "get down", you get down. You don't ask questions. When I say we're stopping to eat, you stay with me. You listen to me from now on! Or you start taking care of yourself.

    Michael Sullivan, Jr.: I can take care of myself fine! You never wanted me along anyway. You think it's my fault this happened!

    Michael Sullivan: Stop it, Michael. It was not your fault! None of this is your fault!

    Michael Sullivan, Jr.: Just take me to Aunt Sarah's.

    Michael Sullivan: I can't take you there. Not now.

    Michael Sullivan, Jr.: Why?

    Michael Sullivan: He knows that's where we're going.

    Michael Sullivan, Jr.: So what are you gonna do?

    Michael Sullivan: Something I can't do alone. You have to listen to me now, okay? Or else both of us are dead. I can make Capone give up Connor. Now, there's one thing Chicago loves more than anything and that's their money. They've got it in banks all over the state. We're gonna have to find it and take it. Are you gonna help me?

    Michael Sullivan, Jr.: Yes.

    Michael Sullivan: Then I have to teach you something.

  • Michael Sullivan: [robbing Capone's money from a bank] That's for you. Call it a handling charge. Tell Chicago I took it, but if read about this in the papers, if I read about the savings of some innocent farmers being wiped out by a heartless bank robber, I won't be happy. Good afternoon.
