The film does not show the style of Val and Dok in their prime, and it starts with two bad old men. Dock is now suffering from illness and draws the sunrise at home every day without asking about world affairs. Val was still tough, but it was sad to see Al Pacino so mature. Daoke took the mission of the old man with the result to receive Val, but he had the heart to start immediately, knowing that Val had been in prison for 28 years without uttering a word, keeping everyone outside safe. Dock then took Val to re-enjoy his life.
The country is easy to change, but the nature is hard to change. Although it has been out of touch with the world for 28 years, the hobbies of the hooligans are still the same. Food-Fortunately, my favorite restaurant 28 years ago actually survived; beautiful girl-I was old and moved to California because of the climate, but some women grew up early, and continued to work in the service industry. (Eastern European girls are still beautiful with white legs and beautiful English.) However, the power of time cannot be underestimated. After all, the grapes are purple and the cucumbers are soft. Poor Val, who has spent half his life in prison, does not know that there is already in the world. Viagra is a gospel for men. Of course, the good brother Dock couldn't bear to let the buddies retreat in a panic in front of the beauties, and the two immediately rushed to the drugstore. Thirty years back in time, the young couple certainly couldn't imagine that they would go to the pharmacy at some point in the future for a few tablets of Viagra and prescription drugs for various geriatric diseases. Seeing Val Xin angrily swallowed a handful of Viagra, Dock put all kinds of small pills for curing high blood pressure, constipation and prostate into his bag, funny and sad.
How can gangsters drink without clubbing? It’s just that the songs in the nightclub are no longer the songs of the year. Waer wore outdated suits and twisted outdated dance steps to strike up a conversation with the young girl. Then, he was called a face of wine. A hooligan who is thrown back by a face of alcohol is not a good hooligan. Faced with this situation, the young and good hooligan’s choices are as follows: First, use force to hold the girl into his arms; Embrace the beauty. And the good gangster Val in the old age is not as strong as before, and time is running out, so there is no free time to follow the girl. Twenty dollars for the DJ to come to a classic old song, first apologize to the girl, and then state his motive: just want two people to dance, occasionally smile at each other, will not cross the boundary and stop contacting each other. Time destroys appearance rather than demeanor, and how can such a prodigal girl who is always young and uninhibited have the ability to resist. In the next moment, the good old gangster Val Wish and the good young girl danced on the dance floor. Under the music and lights, the outdated clothes and old face were no longer the focus, and the eyes were full of style.
The beauties have tasted the food and wine, it's time to go for a drive. He stole a luxury car, and then abducted the old friend (Alan Akin) who was inhaling oxygen in the nursing home. The car no longer needs the key to ignite, and once it is driven, it can still whizz on the street. The three old buddies rushed past the car, and then fulfilled their dreams of life for the emphysema old friend. Recalling the long past, they found that there was a beautiful woman in the trunk of the stolen car. The owner of the car is a new generation of hooligans who dominate the streets now. When the girl is pretty, she abducts it. After the ravages, she stuffs the trunk into the trunk and takes care of it at the right time. In the old age, good rascals saw that this would not work. We also have industry standards in the hooligans world. Juniors who do not abide by the rules have no bottom line. So the three old consciences in the industry broke into the lair, and cleaned up the juniors neatly, hiding their merits and fame.
It was about to dawn, and the deadline given by the boss was approaching. Val has always been aware of Dock's mission. After a night of craziness, he has no regrets. He is ready to find his body and clothes to die calmly. By the way, he also brings the boss of the year to bury him. Dock has the handle in the hands of the boss, but decided to choose the former in the face of dignity and survival. The two old hooligans put on ironed suits, and in the sunshine of their birth, just like the youth on the streets of the past, they shot bullets to their fate without leaving behind.
The story comes to an end with one line, there is no plot that is the epitome of Qifeng, but under the interpretation of the three old drama bones, the old days are full of good times. Movies and TV dramas love the themes of gangsters and gangsters, it is better to say that they like bloodliness and loyalty. The expectation of forever young and eternally passionate is a glimmer of ordinary time, just like Dock, who draws the sunrise at home every day in the film. At the end of the film, when he and Val are shooting at destiny in the sun, this moment. The sunshine in his eyes must be more beautiful than every ray of light in his pen. The most solemn death is not grand pomp and luxurious tombs, but toughness that does not succumb to fate until the last second. The old hooligans in the film are forgotten by the times, struggling to live, hanging on the oxygen cylinder, but the vitality that bursts at the end of life is as hot as it was in the past. There are no old characters in the film that walk into the sunset, and let them bid farewell to the world in the sunrise, which is the best tribute to the unyielding and uncompromising life.
