Pacino's best work before he turned 40. The script is compact and rigorous, and the true events are vividly restored. Every moment of the story is in a state of continuous intensification and continuous advancement. Two unreliable bank robbers, Vietnam veterans, down-and-out bisexual Sonny (or "Lonely Sonny" as we call him) and sluggish SAI; Stockholm Syndrome hijackers and cops surrounded by outside They. What attracted me more was the swarming media and cheering gays and other social groups. As the film heated up, it almost became a live broadcast of postmodern carnivalization. The media was able to express the greatest sense of their own, No. 1 Reported, exaggerated, and distorted for a while; citizens were able to express their instinctive unconscious instinctive impulses and applaud the confrontation itself rather than the protagonist of the event.
Sonny in the film is simply a hero. Let go of the background of the times, the United States in the 1970s is deeply mired in the post-Vietnam War quagmire , various movements one after another, people report extreme distrust of the government, and social contradictions intensify. Sonny is carrying out robbery in this spirit of the times. When he excitedly shouted "Attica! Attica! Attica!", I was moved to tears. Eye-opening. This is also one of the most shocking points of the film. And we restore such a Sonny, who just wants to end the bad robbery, settle his family, and raise enough money for his gay husband for sex reassignment surgery.
Sonny is a man in the fight against order. Stupid forerunner, but also a kind clown.
