A Brief Review of "Girl Thief"

If you want to compare a movie to a building, the foundation of this building is the three old men who are growing stronger and more and more tasteful. Their age definitely plays a role in this film, and their acting almost perfectly conveys that strange and reasonable behavior.
But I think it would be better if the moustache was played by a middle-aged or young man. Roger in the movie also fantasized about himself as a bull man with two guns in his hands. I think a neurotic young man can arouse his fighting spirit more than an old man. In addition, if the final outcome is that the old man saves the young man, it will give a better feeling. Moustache plays very well, but this role is too neurotic and lacks foundation, and it feels a little bit of drama.
One of the things that stood out about the movie for me was that it told a story about infatuation. I like the state where people are deeply attracted.
The ancients said that people who look at the moon do not see the way they look at the moon, and those who do not care to look at it should look at it. I think these three people meet Zhang Daizhi's standard.
This fascination is touching. It's even a self-sacrifice that I enjoy. Everything based on this can be plausible although it will look a little weird.
The rest of the film is mixed. The planning and implementation of the entire theft process was exciting, and the rest was a bit of a drag. I felt stupid for the final rescue operation, which could almost destroy the whole pot of soup.
The most memorable part of this film is at the end, when Roger watched the coincidence of the lonely girl and his wife, the smile on his face was really innocent.

The Maiden Heist quotes

  • [last lines]

    Charles Peterson: We did good.

    Roger Barlow: We sure did. See you tomorrow.

  • Roger Barlow: Hey, why am I the one to blame? Money gets stolen and you automatically accuse me. How do I know you didn't take the money?

    Rose Barlow: Me? Oh how could you Roger? I'm your wife, your wife!

    Roger Barlow: You accused me.

    Rose Barlow: Well this money, Roger. This money was for us, together. To think that I would steal from my own cookie jar!
