old story

#flyingmovie# Motherless Brooklyn There are two cities I've never been to, but have become very familiar with through countless movies – New York and Hong Kong. This movie is about New York in the 50's. The director patiently and meticulously made an Old School story in a very Old School way. Edward Norton, who subconsciously or consciously shouted IF countless times, is still too melancholy and elegant, the little black girl who was sexually harassed in the workplace in the Morning Show is brave in the sunshine of Brooklyn, and Bruce Willis and the gay brother in The Good Wife, for the sake of Alec Baldwin, the younger brother of the ideal burial power, still maintains the original intention of the older brother Willem Dafoe. Every shot is so clean and clear, the composition reminds me of a famous postmodern painting or any American comic pulled from the shelf, and the soundtrack is restrained and appropriate. This is a movie that I didn't fast-forward and didn't check online for reviews, it's a movie that I can understand without special effects, and it's a movie that allows me to stay in the past for a while. . . (Seeing the ending subtitles, it turns out that the director is Norton himself)

    It's a good story. A man who turned his back and took us to expose the truth at every level in Brooklyn, where "no one's jurisdiction" is not peaceful. Frank was a mentor to him. He told him to calm down and gave him shelter. At the end, he was not doing things for one person. I have my own little house for my own living

    With haunting jazz, slow-flowing and in-depth clues, the power intoxication entangled in different classes of society in the 1950s is rendered. Too much effort was devoted to portraying characters, depicting emotions, and creating atmosphere, making what should have been a spooky and interesting story a bit weak.

Motherless Brooklyn quotes

  • Frank Minna: [grimacing] Got through Guadalcanal without a scratch, and I get shot with my own gun - in Queens!

  • [last lines]

    Lionel Essrog: [sitting together on their new porch] "Brooklyn's big... Brooklyn's big, but there's things even bigger."

    Laura Rose: What's that?

    Lionel Essrog: I think it's something Frank said to me, but I. I can't remember when.

    Laura Rose: Maybe this is what he meant.

    Lionel Essrog: [twitching again] If! If!
