For this HBO drama, many viewers have given up on it, and they can't hold on to the end of the third season. There are various reasons, but I want to come and understand it very well. Reading famous books always takes brains and time. "Boardwalk Empire" is like watching Tolstoy's "War and Peace", with various foreshadowings, many characters, intertwined fates, eating and smoking, you will miss details that should not be forgotten.

Thinking of this, it's really hard to understand how strong the ambition of the writer and director of this play is. What my buddy dares to shoot is not a TV series, but "A Brief History of American Race", Irish, Italian, black, Jewish, Chinese (although Only opium is mentioned) ...... light and shadow flow, wonderful sonorous.

The leading role is very important, I personally don't like Uncle Bucktooth, and I don't deny that he is talented, but he is not the best candidate for the male lead in my mind, and I don't like the little white-faced Michael Pitt, but he was in "Dream of Paris". Bernardo's training is extremely sultry.

On the other hand, the portrayal of Al Capone and Luciano, the legends of the American mafia, is really damn good. It treats the real historical characters, the real name screenwriter, the actors' performances are in place, the appearance is also similar, and the plot is also very good to avoid {criminal heroes. There's no disguised glorification of violence, I think, and that's the tone set by Martin Sixes' first episode.

All in all, this drama gave me a lot of myths about the old days of being obsessed with godfather-style gangster movies. Looking back and watching Martin's movies, this old man is the king of gangster movies.
