Confessions of a fan.

"What we put out in the world will always come back to you, but never how you predict." - This movie is like the novels of Yi Shu's past, which understates a person's life.

Such a fierce gang fight can be filmed so blandly, Xiaoben, you really need to find a good screenwriter... It is said that the original book is very exciting, so I don't understand it...

Originally it started with three stars at most, but I couldn't bear the thought of "Pearl Street Films" at the beginning, and even more so when I saw several BenAffleck jumping out at the end.

Advantages: The plot is fairly complete, and the tuning is good. Like many short comments said, the filter is well used. Then again, some of the lines and shots are great, and I love the profile of the life of the sheriff and his daughter. Hmm... The ex-girlfriend also did a good job... And then, Fu Hua Dao did a good job, right? Young Ben is really satisfied that he can make such a look with makeup... and although I don't know much about it, I think it looks retro. of. (I think I really have nowhere to find a place to praise...)

Cons: Too bland, bland and boring, really. There are hardly any climaxing and gripping moments in the whole film, and all the plots rush through like water without finding the point. Novels can be run-of-the-mill, but movies really can't. I know that when there is a protagonist's halo, the audience won't really worry about the ups and downs of the plot, but at least give the audience something to make them nervous!

The feeling Xiaoben gave me was: I know that you all know that he will not die, so I will not follow those routines, you can see it this way.

I'm really scared of this straight ball... I think according to the level of "Robbers in the City", Xiaoben should not be someone who can't shoot thrillers/suspense...

If you deliberately want to alienate the narrative and make the movie a Ukiyo-e, the effect will not actually be achieved... Because the group scenes are not well filmed. In short, being able to make a gangster legend into a "story of your life" is also...it's amazing.

Xiaoben, if you can't find a good screenwriter, you should pull Madara to write it together... Anyway, isn't it a good story...

And then, this pick of Batman is really...a very double-edged choice. Acting in a superhero movie, especially a character such as Captain America/Thor/Batman who are quite demanding on the body, really can't relax for a moment. Watching Xiaoben make himself into a standard inverted triangle shape during the Bat Chao period, with wide shoulders and narrow waist, and then watching him gain weight... The consequence of training such a muscle is that once it relaxes, it will become extraordinarily fat. ……Oops.

I feel that Xiaoben usually doesn't pay much attention to these, so this makes some parts of the night life really seem like him... too big.

As for the acting...no breakthrough, not even The Accountant.

Summary: No matter how much you love Xiaoben, it can't be too much. I can only give a passing grade for this film... Think about Xiaoben, but you are the director of Argo... Even if it is only for your own scoring system, I can't give a higher score... QAQ

Live by Night quotes

  • [first lines]

    Joe Coughlin: [narrating] In 1917, I signed up to fight the Huns in France. Good men died all around me, and I saw no reason for it. The rules we lived by were lies. And they didn't apply to those who made them. I swore If I made it home, I would never follow orders again. I left a soldier, I came home an outlaw.

  • Joe Coughlin: I'm crazy about her.

    Thomas Coughlin: Crazy isn't love.
