From the beginning of the movie to the end, popeye is tracking, tracking. So the main line of the movie is very clear, that is to solve this drug case. The popeyes went to work almost unscrupulously, including the manslaughter of their colleagues. Without showing even a trace of sadness, he loaded and continued the hunt. Perhaps the last section is their pursuit in the drug lord's base camp that is the most attractive, because there is nothing impressive about the chase in the whole movie. So in the last stanza, the final gunshots are really exciting.
In fact, after watching the whole movie, I'm glad I finished it, because I didn't miss the wonderful few minutes at the end. At the end, the director showed the fate of those related characters, which made people feel very surprised, because the drug dealers almost did not get the punishment they deserved, including the French old man frog No.1 still at large.
After all of popeye's selfless efforts, it was only in exchange for such a result. Make it feel real. Similar movies always end with the same slideshow report, who is punished by death for evil, and who is awarded medals for heroism. The French drug network, even if it was filmed in 1971, this kind of ending, which is the opposite of punishing evil and promoting good, still makes people feel fresh.

The French Connection quotes

  • Jimmy 'Popeye' Doyle: All right! You put a shiv in my partner. You know what that means? Goddammit! All winter long I got to listen to him gripe about his bowling scores. Now I'm gonna bust your ass for those three bags and I'm gonna nail you for picking your feet in Poughkeepsie.

    [a few scenes later:]

    Walt Simonson: Popeye. You still picking your feet in Poughkeepsie?

  • Jimmy 'Popeye' Doyle: All right, Popeye's here! Get your hands on your heads, get off the bar, and get on the wall!
