Sonny is a stupid forerunner against the Order and a good clown.

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.

    In the chaotic social order, all democratic details have become stage plays. Pacino's individualistic crime evokes the onlookers' carnival, and this rock-tour-like dynamism makes satirical art play to the smallest detail; Stockholm Syndrome is also a derivative of a rotten life, and the female supporting group is enthusiastic from beginning to end. , they chatted, they laughed, they never seemed so close to a hero.

    A very unusual movie about robbery, because of its high score, so I downloaded it, maybe I don't understand acting, it's just a movie about robbery, but the reflection of the hostages and the two best robbers of all time It makes people have to admire that such a thing still happens. I am still a movie fan who does not understand the acting skills of actors and only watches big scenes~
