"Dream, you can't come by yourself, you have to chase it yourself." Callito said to his lover, Kyle, in a firm tone, but what exactly is this dream? For a man who knew that he was being chased by death, the dream was a successful escape, but Carlito was not escaped because there were two death gods behind him, as he said: "Favors kill, fiercer than bullets. ", from the very beginning of the film, we know that Carlito will die, so the natural plot makes people more heartbreaking, the cruel thing is that every audience is silently counting down for Carlito's death, silently Praying, and he, must die! It's because of his kindness, and rationally speaking, he is stupid (kindness) and ignorant. It is undeniable that Carlito is a religious underworld figure. He believes in loyalty and courage, but he doesn't realize that this kind of righteousness is like a street gangster. The cigarette in his mouth is thrown away after smoking, and he has to step on it a few times. David, the lawyer who rescued Carlito from prison, was a little guy who sold himself to the devil. Wei's greed and madness led to a point of no return. He finally became someone else's cigarette butt, but the one who wanted to trample him to death was the Mafia family. Died at the gunpoint of a street gangster, and such an accident happened, but because his nightclub partner betrayed him, he became someone else's cigarette butt again, sad fate has always loomed over him, he died Before he died, he said: "I am very tired, really tired, very tired, very tired..." Schopenhauer said: "Human existence is a burden, and death is what makes people yearn for ." Carlito's escape was not life, but death!
When the movie came to an end, I was in tears. Al Pacino is my favorite film artist, and this movie will be regarded as the greatest work by me. He explained a truth in the saddest way- Free will! If you're willing to get busy giving birth, remember that you're the only one in charge!

Carlito's Way quotes

  • David Kleinfeld: Fuck you and your self-righteous code of the goddamn streets. Did it pull you out of a 30 year stint in only 5 years? No, it didn't, I did. Did it get you acquitted 4 fucking times? No, it didn't, I did, so fuck you, fuck the streets, your whole goddamn world is this big, and there's only one rule, you save your own ass.

  • Carlito: If I ever, I mean if I ever see you here again, you die.

    [Snaps fingers]

    Carlito: Just like that.
