Love Owl's Dawn

Loyalty and betrayal are ever-bright themes of gangster movies. At the beginning of the film, a flashback is used to render a layer of tragedy with cool tones. It wasn't until the end of the film that I realized the beauty of this clip. This is what it means to be a successor.

Reminiscent of the true character of a hero, when Xiao Ma went to Taiwan, Xiao Wang's uncle said, "The world has changed and no one around me can be trusted." Also, after Song Zihao was imprisoned, he longed to correct his wrongdoings, but he always encountered many resistances, and finally had to recover his nature and resort to old methods.

Jianghu's loyalty is declining step by step

This is the main theme of the film.

His cousin was killed by what he believed to be a "trustworthy person", and he was involved in the fire himself.

He was almost betrayed by an old friend he trusted, and after turning his face, he learned about the so-called "difficulties" of the old friend.

Violating the principle, despite the strong dissuasion of his lover, he helped his friend to escape from prison. But his friend's breach of contract dragged him into another catastrophe.

After learning that his friend betrayed him, he still refused to testify against his friend.

The twists and turns of the ups and downs of the escape finally succeeded, but he was betrayed by his bodyguard and died at the hands of a little bastard who was let go.

The road to the realization of a good life has been broken, and only the good reverie before death is left.

The funny and tricky Carrido

There are several classic manifestations of Carrido's antics. The first is to intimidate a defenseless enemy outside with a gun that has run out of bullets. It was followed by a rude remark that seriously insulted a little bastard, and eventually led to his death. I observed and followed my lover in the rain, but did not dare to approach for a long time.

Where there is a means 1 Accurately identified the conspiracy of the other side of the transaction with the cousin, and successfully killed a bloody road.

2 Buy 50% of the equity through negotiation at a price of 25,000

3 To kill with a knife to kill a friend who betrayed him.

But poor Carrido still lacked a little brain. In the beginning, I didn't get rid of that small crumb, which is simply a woman's kindness. Second, he did not listen to his girlfriend's analysis and strongly discouraged him. San did not pay attention to the intentions of the bodyguard's betrayal, and these are the direct reasons for the tragic end of Carrido.

not like the boss vincent

Blood revenge must be a good tradition for Italians, but it is really incompetent for the boss to lose his life for this. (At the expense of an inconsequential accomplice).

1 Acting as David's assassin, exposing himself to danger

2 personally chased and killed Carrido, and went after him even after being injured and was eventually killed.

3 He could recall that Carrido went to see David, but ignored the detail that David had no bullets in his gun. If he thinks about it carefully, he should know that it was removed by Carrido. From this, it is found that Carrido not only helped himself (and spared himself), but also showed the fact that there was no common murder. That is to say, chase and kill an unnecessary accomplice (the enemy of the enemy is also a friend).

With such IQ and security awareness, how can you manage a huge mafia family?

    The ending was given at the very beginning, basically Al Pacino's one-man show, the big guy who decided to wash his hands and jump out of the rivers and lakes could not escape the seemingly conventional fate in the end. DePalma uses a lot of gorgeous camera movement in this film, imbuing each shootout with romance, and Al Pacino's serene monologue at the end is like a poem. (It's still a bit long overall)
