This film was made in 1989. At that time, De Niro was still a boss, Sean Penn had a slightly childish face, and Demi Moore was still so charming. It was these three people who performed a movie. Although it is not a classic but definitely meaningful good film, De Niro and Sean Penn play two fugitives Ned and Jim respectively. They fled to a small town where the priest has a high status, in order not to be caught by others. They became priests by accident, with Demi Moore playing a small town widow with a daughter who is deaf and mute, and someone can sleep with her for five dollars just to make a living. Later in the story, Ned and Jim were busy pretending to be a priest and making a lot of jokes, while looking for opportunities to escape, especially when the warden came to the town to find fugitives, and the two were caught in the mirror of life and death. In the process Jim develops a friendship with a priest, and De Niro develops a crush on the widow.
If you see this, maybe this movie can only be said in general, but the key is the later development of the movie, especially when the prisoner who escaped at the same time as Ned and Jim appeared, the film began to climax, the situation for several escaped prisoners It is very urgent. If you can't escape in time, you may never get out of this town. Jim was drawn lucky and had to give a speech on the stage. He has almost no knowledge of religion, but he influenced everyone with his own perception of life. Including the widow played by Moore, so she gave the child to Ned without paying, hoping that he would let the child get God's help.
In the big rescue scene at the climax, Ned jumped into the water to rescue the widow's daughter who fell into the water. The widow only glanced at Ned at the moment when the child fell, and the man jumped without hesitation. It turned out that Denis Luo is so devoted to acting in emotional dramas.
The biggest highlight of the whole film is undoubtedly when the girl was rescued by Ned, she was suddenly able to speak, and the first thing she said was watching Ned say "criminal"! Ned didn't want to cry. He thought that he would get good rewards for saving people, but he was exposed. Fortunately, the kindness of the pastor finally saved them.
At the end of the film, two fugitives who could have left the town with dignity but chose to stay, Jim was reluctant to admire his priest in the end, and Ned finally decided to stay for the beautiful widow, when Robert De Niro took the lead. I smiled knowingly as Demi Moore's hand walked towards the town.
After the movie, I kept thinking about one thing, that is, if such a subject is purely a comedy, the audience will be very happy and the movie will be better, but Neil Jordan did not do this, he wanted to borrow it more A bit of an absurd story to express his attitude towards religion and life, so he turned the camera on the crying goddess, who shed tears when Ned prayed because he was afraid that his escape would not be successful (later we know it was the house water leaked), and the last rescue scene is because of the fallen goddess statue, Ned's girl survived at the same time, it is because of this treatment that the theme of this movie can be sublimated, maybe this is the way to make a movie of two.
