The first point I did not notice when I saw it for the first time, the original soundtrack of the original movie was so good. The disco style, the lightness of the 80s and the early electronic sounds all make the listener feel very comfortable. And who would have thought that such an original soundtrack came from a gangster movie with a very serious, bloody, violent, and erotic (Ehhhh~). And the two also cooperate quite well. I have to say that the director's scheduling is indeed blended with the music, forming the unique style of the film and creating a classic.
I have also paid attention to this master of the soundtrack. Indeed, his works are quite good, but listening with the picture is indeed a stronger sense of substitution and more interesting. The combination of music and movie scenes in this movie is much better than his famous work, Midnight Express.
The second point is that Parma is really a strange director. I also love and hate him. On the one hand, I have to admit that its long shot scheduling and various suspenseful settings are very refreshing, and some of them can even be called magical. (In the interrogation scene at the beginning, the contrast between the chainsaw and the external environment is a long shot, and the plot of Tony's assassination) On the one hand, eldest brother, it's in the 1980s, and you still cut the scene like this. The old-school man who has been converted so much? At one time I thought that the scene change dragged down the quality of the movie a lot. (I also complained before)
The third point is that the photography is great. The lighting of the refugee camps and bars is worth seeing. The script is also good, except for Oliver Stone’s usual supporting role, simple and somewhat forced rhythm, the lines are worthy of careful attention, the scenes before and after the plot have a strong sense of fatalism, and by the way, they are also very angry with the US government and socialism. , The judicial system has been hacked all over the place, even if these are just small reactions in the background, they are not bad. You can carefully watch the previous scenes of Tony and his mother, and all the scenes with Frank, and you will find a lot of details that can be savored.
The fourth point is that Pacino did a great job, and he created the character with flesh and blood. Leaving aside the accent and explosiveness, some things that are not reflected in the script, such as feelings for sacrificing friends, guilt towards mother and family, can all be seen in his performances. (I don't know how to say it, too good at catching it? This thing can only be unspeakable.) Finally, let's talk about the end of the shootout, the thief is cool! ! ! One of the most powerful gunfights of the 1980s!
