2. Lefty and Sonny entered a house at the airport. At this time, Lefty thought that Sonny was going to kill himself. At this time, most of the screen area was dark, only the light passing through the door and a few figures. The tension in the music underscores Lefty's precarious situation at the moment. But the music stopped abruptly, the lights turned on, and the whole picture lit up, indicating that the crisis had disappeared.
3. When Donnie and Sonny and their group clashed with the Japanese, the tall Sonny was condescending, and a sense of danger came over him. In addition, several people in the frame at this moment tightly sandwiched the Japanese in the middle. Blocked, I feel that the Japanese have nowhere to escape.

A sense of security, this is also a true portrayal of Donnie's inner frenzy at the moment.

Text:
This film brings together two powerful male stars, Johnny Depp and Al Pacino, and it is really worth watching. I like this movie because of the emotions that people show in it. Lefty and Donnie, one is a gang leader and the other is an undercover FBI agent, they seem to be opposites, but in the end they have an inseparable intersection. This is often the case. There is no black and white, everyone has a gray area, and human emotions are the most difficult to control.
From the beginning, Lefty noticed Donnie, because when he spoke, the two were very close, sitting in the car, the two were on the same parallel plane, which symbolized the close cooperation between the two. Lefty quickly trusts Donnie and teaches him the rules of the gang. He treated Donnie like a friend, he would take him home for dinner and scold each other in the hotel. Lefty's incomparable trust in Donnie was to get along with him in the way of an elder. Even if Donnie became Sonny's man, then It's only superficial, in fact, the two of them have the best relationship. At the end, he said that he would find an opportunity to promote him, which moved me very much. When he was caught, Lefty yelled at Donnie, "It's okay, Donnie". In fact, Lefty was doing his best to protect Donnie.
Although Lefty is also a gang leader, he does not have much real power and status. He carefully gets along with the other bosses of the gang and does his best for the gang, but he has not gotten anything for 30 years. He just wants to earn more power and status for himself. It can be seen that Lefty is a very disciplined person. He tried everything to please the boss. When he was in Florida, he tried his best to win the boss's attention. When the boss said anything, he would do it, even if it was killing him My brother who has worked with me for 20 years, I think that although Lefty also kills people, his image in the film is not so cruel, but rather helpless. He has worked for the gang for 30 years, but in the end he has nothing, but until the end he has nothing. Fulfilling the rules of the gang to die is quite sympathetic and embarrassing. In the end, Lefty's last generosity died. He still treated Donnie like a friend and an elder in his heart. He didn't talk to Donnie. Glad it's him", also treating Donnie as a brother until the very last moment.
At the same time, Donnie is also under a lot of psychological pressure. His wife's incomprehension and the alienation of his children made him feel very guilty, but he had to continue to walk on thin ice in the gang. Although he is an undercover agent, his relationship with Lefty is sincere. He understands Lefty's trust in him, but the more trust he has, the more guilt he will feel. The further back Donnie goes, the more he wanders between good and evil. People are inherently indeterminate. Maybe Lefty is evil to the outside world, but to him, he is good. So when Lefty son Donnie will insist ill with him, even at the cost of corruption stolen money to buy a boat Lefty want to help him out of here, at the time of his arrest, he angrily said:. "I will not quit,"
Maybe, Lefty was quietly changing Donnie.
Donnie will be painful and annoyed at first seeing them kill people, but the longer the time, the less the reaction, he can also beat people to blood with them, or help them to saw people with them, and feel sorry for Lefty Heart. The beginning and the end of the film are close-ups of Donnie's eyes. It is obvious that Donnie's emotions have changed. At the beginning, Donnie's eyes were sharp and firm. But in the end, his eyes were much softer and more complicated than before. He's a policeman, he's going to fight gangsters, he's also a father and husband, and he's responsible for his family. But at the same time, he misses Lefty in his heart. Lefty made him see more things. In the end, Donnie said to his wife: "I have been a good person for all these years. For the sake of the society, it doesn't make sense." "I didn't become them. , I was originally them" This is actually a torture of himself and good and evil.
After watching the movie, many people think that the FBI inside is more indifferent than the gang. Although the gang is committed to criminal activities, they also pay attention to their faith. The FBI uses Donnie as an undercover agent and continues to put pressure on her and investigate him. In contrast, Lefty's trust in Donnie is even more valuable and moving. He takes care of Donnie's feelings, helps Donnie to rise to power, treats him as a brother at all times, and treats him like an elder. In fact, this is the difference. This difference comes from emotion. No matter how outsiders think about it, how righteous they think the FBI is, or how unbearable the gangsters are, in fact, only Donnie can feel the innermost things that go straight to the heart. And obviously, Lefty's place in his heart is self-evident.
Again, there is no absolute good and evil. Maybe the outside world will judge your good and evil based on your identity and behavior, but emotionally, we are all in a gray area, and even rational people will flee. But the truest feeling in my heart.
