In fact, after watching "American Gangster", I was taken aback and felt it was difficult to start. The photography, editing, rhythm, tone, etc. are all excellent, basically there is nothing to criticize. So why are you stunned? There are two reasons. The first is that it’s not easy. For two and a half hours, I actually endured it, basically no action scenes, no sex scenes, no ups and downs, no climaxes. From this, you can imagine Ledelisco. Special narrative skills; the second is that I was stunned by the story.
First, let me explain. I am a simple person. If you are a good person, you must tell me that he is a good person, and vice versa. If you get two good and bad people to play rivals here, I will probably faint in the end. Well, Ledley Scott basically froze me like that. At the beginning of the story, there is a big drug dealer and a policeman; then the big drug dealer has a strong family concept, and the police's family life is messed up. According to the plot of "The Line of Fire", it should be the bad police who caught the good drug dealer in the end.
How could Ledley Scott copy Michael Mann? Whatever you say, you've become a wrist for N years. So the big drug dealers have a really strong family concept, strong enough to sell everyone except their mothers and wives. Of course, the two of them will not be too sinful (it seems that men cannot get married, and the heroes become bears when they get married); the police seem to be There are enough reasons to be a villain to do so, but unexpectedly he is a good policeman who obeys the law. But in this era, there must be a bad policeman, so Ledley Scott added a special role to it.
There is no problem, I can fully understand. The problem is that in the end, the police caught the drug dealer. After the two chatted for a while, the policeman wrote two words on the table with his hands-"Tian Xia", and the drug dealer handed in his gun.....Fuck, "Hero" The poison is too deep. In fact, the police did not write "Tianxia" on the table, but wrote the three words "home".....again, it was not written by the police, but by the drug dealer, and he did not write on the table. , But the three words "home" were written on the forehead. So the hero cherishes the hero, and the two work together to wipe out the bad police and the bad drug dealers. Well, at this moment, I was stunned. My poor careful thought couldn't figure out what kind of values it was trying to express? Evil is overwhelming? Is it true? Or is the good and evil teaming up, the world of river shrimp? Or is this simply an "Infernal Affairs", where the big drug dealers were undercover agents who broke into the underworld when they were young? If it belongs to the latter, it can be predicted that the answer will be strongly revealed in the extended version of the director's cut released in the Olympic year.
The above is pure drunken nonsense, and the literary responsibility is fulfilled. Those who are poisoned are requested to search for the grass in Qibu by themselves. Warning: Film language lovers-formalists who say that form precedes content, please do not follow up, because it is said that Denzel Washington will shoot you ten seconds after the end of the credits.
