I don't want to repeat the plot, it is completely submerged in the wonderful acting skills of the old drama bones.
After watching it, such a picture came to my mind: the director opened the floodgates of memory to the photos of the three brothers when they were young in the film, lusting for friendship and life and death, enjoying the heights, and finally reaching a climax in the sound of gunfire, accompanied by the sunrise The brilliance, the curtain and the end.
The outfits of gangster films and the tone of nostalgic films are all about thinking about life.
Life is colorful.
Used to be awesome: driving the fastest luxury car, soaking in the most difficult woman, defeating the toughest opponent; once debauchery: stealing cars, visiting prostitutes, taking drugs, fighting, going to jail. It used to be brilliant: brothers are deeply in love, join hands to roam the rivers and lakes, and block those who are invincible... But after the past, what you owe will eventually be repaid, whether you owe it to friends, enemies, children or even God, you have to pay it back! The old brothers in the film are already old, and you and I will be old too, what should I do?
The film has only one protagonist, Al Pacino, who is basically his one-man show. I'm not denying Walken's acting skills and aura, he is a golden supporting role after all, not to mention there is an old urchin Ajin who is also brilliant in Little Sunshine, but they are here to help. The basic positioning is that Pacino is the boss, Aiken is the boss assistant, Akin is the driver, the three old friends have no lower limit of being cute, and there is no limit to being boring, and they will take the road of youth together with Al Pacino. Nervous, nagging, Henry Miller's dreamlike plot, coupled with the good blues, has a special taste in my heart. No story, no suspense, just the chatter of a few old people, just let you be a good audience, and then think about life together.
Pacino's role is simply tailor-made.
He is old and strong, with a decadent, tired and a little evil temperament that no one can match, which is very suitable for Jack in the film. This character looks crazy and obscene, but is actually like a hero, very cute. After serving 20 years in prison, he never betrayed his friends, and he still remembers his friendship. Knowing that his life is near, he chose to face death and never escaped. He is also kind when he is about to die. Continue the brotherhood, do the last and only good thing, repent for your life, and sacrifice your life to fulfill the brotherhood. Isn't such a character who is both good and evil, affectionate and fearless, not a hero?
Personally, I feel that the director is actually a fan of Pacino just like me. The dancing on the dance floor and the crazy sports cars in the film are easy to distinguish from Pacino's "Smell the Scent and Know a Woman". In that film, Pacino proved his acting skills, and in this film he proves that his acting skills are still young and full of energy.
There will be more suffering in the past, and there will be more and more. After getting old and before dying, you should live well without changing, and you should still be free and easy. This may be the original meaning of the film.
Finally, say one more sentence for Pacino: "Old Pa, stand up straight, don't get down!"
