That was the era when the Sicilian Mafia began to dominate in North America. The older generation of underworld bosses slowly faded out of the stage of history, and young people, after bloody competition, began to become the masters of the world—the
aggressive and ruthless Charlie Luciano , the scheming and scheming dog-headed strategist Meyer, as well as the protagonist of the film - "Mad" Ben Seeger. He is not as "respected" as the first two for establishing the Mafia committee, but he is famous for building the American desert casino Las Vegas. When his peers say he is "crazy", it is nothing more than saying that he is out of tune with his peers - making money like dirt, spending a lot of money in Hollywood, just for a smile on his face; being domineering, he has to buy a few high-end shirts before shooting the men who stole the stolen money. To the other party, laughing at his greed; hot-tempered, forcing the partner who took advantage of the robbery to kneel down and learn from the dog, yelling "stealing is worse than rape!" When he raised money and brought a fatal disaster for himself, he still stood firmly on the side of love and went to death fearlessly - what a "love owl" with complicated feelings, which makes people love and hate! The actor accurately grasped it Big Brother Bugsy's self-governing and flamboyant personality adds a mysterious and unique touch to this dangerous underworld figure. And this maverick is precisely the foreshadowing of Seeger's final death.
The sentence "Sig is not a businessman, but a dreamer" by the second brother of the gang, Meyer, can be said to be the most accurate evaluation of Sig - he is a person who lives in a dream, always trying to challenge the impossible. live on the mission. Standing beside the highway in the Nevada desert, he sketched a grand blueprint for the future of Las Vegas, and used practical actions to shake the unattainable goal-in order to raise funds, he gave up his face and begged Luciano in a low voice. With two million funds, he didn't hesitate to sell his property, sell his shares in Vegas hotels, and painstakingly collected every possible copper plate; he didn't care about the rising cost, and every flaw became the trigger for his rage. The fuse can even demolish the half-built hotel and rebuild it; his lover, friends, wife and children have left him one after another, and only Ben is left standing alone in the desolate desert, guarding his American dream alone. It is this almost paranoid pioneering spirit that makes Seeger's image tall and plump, which has aroused the praise and resonance of all the audience.
"What a person loves will be destroyed in the end." - Seeger's persistent pursuit of dreams and love eventually led to personal destruction - girlfriend ran away with two million construction funds, brother Lucia Nuo also began to suspect that Sig was embezzling huge amounts of money privately, preparing to kill him. The original landmark Vegas hotel opening ceremony also ended in a sudden power outage, and the dance floor was scarlet, heralding the end of Sieg's death. When his girlfriend came back to him with a million-dollar check because of guilt and love, Seeger used an unbelievable way - tearing the check, the last straw - completely cut off his escape route. "Let's let this gold rot in the bank and save it for the next rainy season." He embraced his lover in the rain, and then went to death without hesitation - what is money? What is power? What is life? In front of love dreams and dignity, everything seems so insignificant. Sieg died, died vigorously, and died without hesitation. When the empires that Luciano, Meyer and others worked so hard to manage collapsed, Sig's beautiful Las Vegas still stood proudly in the Nevada desert, splendid.
Although there are still many deficiencies and abrupt points in the plot arrangement, this film is still a superb work with a unique perspective and full of heroic atmosphere. Dressed in the guise of a gangster movie, in the end it's still the American spirit that sings its praises. It's a pity that the Oscars failed miserably and only won two small awards, which is neither embarrassing nor embarrassing. It's just a pity.
