I don't understand why the rating of "Loyalty and Traitor" is lower than that of "Dawn of Love Owl". To be honest, I don't like "Dawn of Love Owl" very much. I think "Faithful Traitor" is very good. Pacino is still the same Pacino. He acts like him, and he acts like himself.
It has to be said that Pacino is the most suitable gangster, but this time it is a gangster who is not very successful. Without the insidious ruthlessness of McCorleone, there is no fierceness of Montana. This time, it's an anti-gangster character, neither shrewd nor fierce, a destitute old gang member who is destitute and desperate for face. Actually, I think in terms of size and posture (aside from his sharp eyes), Pacino is suitable for such a downer role. Have you noticed that Pacino's domineering shots rarely stand all over? To tell the truth, his figure is indeed his short board, five short figures, not strong, and hunchbacked, which is indeed a bit suitable for such a downcast role. Of course, even so, Pacino is still my male god, his aura, expression, way of speaking, voice, eyes, and movements are full of unparalleled charm. In the role of Lao Zuo, Pacino is good at it. A great actor can control everything. Likes to argue with people, likes to play tricks, is poor and afraid of losing one's share, longs for a success, and shows loyalty. . . . Waiting for these, Pacino has performed very well. I guess he figured out many details by himself, reflecting a person's character from small details.
Let's talk about the role of Lao Zuo, he is quite contradictory to the gangster, so I say he is an anti-gangster character. In addition to the lack of qualities mentioned above, the root cause of Lao Zuo's failure is that he is not bad enough or that he is a little good-natured. Someone who may have a decent job is actually a bad-hearted hypocrite. Lao Zuo is really not a bad person. We can also see from the movie that other gang members are fierce and vicious, so a person who is not too bad is destined to be bad in it. It is a very unfortunate character. The younger brother has ulterior motives.
Depp's role is also quite twisted, and there are contradictions everywhere. The undercover agent deals with outlaws every day, and the psychological pressure can be imagined. He does not cooperate with his own people, and his wife and children do not understand him. Only one old left is good to him, so in the end he will break out such a deep friendship with the old left. It's a pity, we can't be both, but his daughter-in-law is really nice and sexy. Her complicated feelings for Downey are worthy of understanding. Who wants to be a widow? Downey struggles with two things: how to deal with the old leftist relationship; how to deal with the relationship with the family.
I thought the lion eating 40 burgers section was very interesting, and Pacino was also very funny with the lion. When I came to the restaurant, I said, "I want 40 hamburgers, no onions." My God, the big black brother was stunned, haha. Then, feed the lion through the car glass, the lion's expression is so cute.
In fact, the gang members are also under a lot of pressure. Black Sonny is under a lot of pressure because he can't make money, and he always has to worry about the FBI finding fault. No one can believe it. It was full of all kinds of intrigues, so Lao Zuo was very special in Downey's eyes. He really wanted to complete the task early, but he was afraid that Lao Zuo would be killed because of himself. This is the biggest conflict in the entire movie. An undercover agent and a gang member form a friendship, which should not be but is reasonable. After all, people are not cold-blooded animals. What attracts me most about this movie is that I want to see whether Lao Zuo's ending is happy or sad. The director gave a suggestive ending. Lao Zuo is tragic, but he is a good and responsible man. Downey's ending is the biggest tragedy of the undercover, living in the fear of being hunted and killed, because the gang can't get rid of it. I think the movie is also deeply satirical about the US government.
It can be seen that in this movie, Pacino deliberately regards himself as a green leaf, and is unwilling to steal Depp's limelight. However, an old drama bone is an old drama bone, and any role can be performed very well. This is the old artist of Deyi Shuangxin, willing to serve as a foil for the younger generation. Forever Papa!
