Today's movie "Unselfish"

# "Unselfish" one brush

A murderer who hides behind "elegance", we must understand that he is a prisoner, regardless of the so-called "elegance". What's more, he will always reveal his savagery at the end.

Based on my simple reading experience, this is undoubtedly a very good movie. The whole process was tense without fear or sudden shock. The cheerful atmosphere of Ness and his group of four when making the change contradicts the tense situation, always feeling that someone is going to have an accident. In the intensification of conflicts with Capone and others and the emotion of not wanting the tragedy to happen, the plot was pushed to a climax. During this period, everyone made a complete transformation.

The opening shot, the circular narrow space, the tight music and the hairdresser's blunders first highlight Capone's image. The background is the introduction of Prohibition in Chicago in 1930, which caused smuggling, violence and legal failure. Perhaps in Chicago at the time, using violence to fight violence was the best way to solve the problem. Ness and his party were faced with internal and external troubles. The picture and the plot are constantly changing, gradually pulling the atmosphere forward.

Good people are lucky sometimes, but no one is ever lucky.

"Mr. Ness, what do you think if the government lifts Prohibition?" "I might go for a drink."

  • Reporter: [interviewing Capone while a barber shaves him] And what of your reputation for violence? That those who don't buy your product are dealt with violently?

    Capone: [pulls his face away from the razor, sees that he's bleeding slightly, the barber looks horrified] S'alright. I grew up in a tough neighborhood and we used to say "You can get further with a kind word and a gun than you can with just a kind word."
