"My Way"--To the Men Who Pacino Played

Marcelle 2022-04-23 07:01:01



The mighty Tony Montana's eyes dimmed for a minute, then woken up by a rush of gunfire.

When Tony found out that his cherished sister had come to the bar where he used to hang out and was fooling around with the punks in the men's room, the Cuban beast was downright furious, and he rushed into the toilet and gave his sister a hard lesson. . Then the camera returns to the bar lobby, Tony is lying on the sofa in the bar alone, his eyes are full of helplessness and loneliness.

If people have a soul, Tony's soul must be far away from his body at this time. Then, two submachine guns pointed at his head, dragged him back to this dark and dirty world.

What was Tony thinking when he sat on the couch? At least for this minute, he was not the gangster who shouted "I'm tony I'm the best" with a submachine gun, but an incompetent and helpless brother who watched his sister slide into the abyss. Even if he himself is in the abyss.

In the process of watching the movie, I couldn't help comparing the character of Tony to other similar characters Pacino played. The leader of the gang, he insists on principles and attaches great importance to family relationships. In "The Godfather," his name is Mike Corleone; in "Dawn of the Owl," his name is Carlito; in "Scarface," his name is Tony Montana.

They all have principles that they believe in all their lives, but all of them are harmed by these principles or principles.

Mike dedicated his life to his family. In a short period of fifty years, Mike, who was full of blood to protect his family and the country, disappeared and was replaced by a second-generation godfather covered in blood. Among the three, Mike may be the most painful one. The physical disability can be made up, but the soul has no prosthetic limbs. When did Mike's soul die? Maybe it was when the order was given to kill the five chiefs, maybe it was when Fredo sank to the bottom of the lake.

Kalido believes in the morality of the rivers and lakes, and he owes others, even if he takes his life. In traditional values, this is what a respectable man should do. He also understands his stupidity and recklessness, but there are some roads, when you take one step, you know that you can't go back. Life is always so interesting, it makes you call the shots on the streets and escape from the guns of countless people, but it does not satisfy your desire to open a motel in Panama. "The last glass of wine, the sun is up, the pub is closing, where shall we go for breakfast?"

What Tony Montana believes is simpler and more direct. This world belongs to me, and in this world that belongs to me, the only person I can trust is myself. Tony's life was like a gambler in a casino, always betting with the best odds of all his money. He won all the bets, but lost the last one. He won everyone and eventually lost to himself. Tony is a paranoid, and everything he's shaped ends up crumbling under the "the world is yours" sign.

In the end, I want to send a song to these three men. A lot of people talk about playing it at their own funerals, but in my opinion, not all lives deserve this song.

《My Way》 Frank Sinatra And now
, the end is near; And so I face the final curtain. My friend, I'll say it clear, my friend, I I'll go on and on. I'll state my case, of which I'm certain. I 've lived a life that's full. I 've traveled each and ev' ry highway; I have traveled every road And more, much more than this, but, far more than that I did it my way. I finished my way Regrets, I've had a few; I also have some regrets

















But then again, too few to mention.
I
did what I had to do I did what I had to do
I completed my mission
And saw it through without exemption.
Every time I think about it, I feel worthy of my heart
I planned each charted Of course;
I have planned every step of my life's journey
, Each careful step along the byway,
but
more, much more than this,
but more, much more than this,
I did it my way.
I finished my own way
Yes,
there were times, I'm sure you knew
When I bit off more than I could chew.
But
through it all, when there was doubt,
when I bit off more than I could chew. Everything started to feel suspicious and uneasy
I ate it up and spit it out.
I didn't stop trying
I faced it all and I stood tall; I stood tall
and faced life
and did it my way.
I finished my way
I've loved, I've laughed and cried. I've loved, I've laughed and cried
,
I've had my fill; my share of losing.
I was hopeful, disappointed
And now , as tears subside, and now
when the tears dry up I
find it all so amusing way, I can say without shame: "Oh no, oh no not me, I did it my way". I've gone my way and they've gone their way.

    (8/10) This is the film that Rafi watched in "Narcotics: Mexico". I have to say that Al Pacino is a god-acting skill. Similarly, acting as a gangster can be a godfather with noble temperament, or a ruffian who speaks and does everything.

    I want to reflect. I have only seen the remake of De Palma until now. Although I have seen this version of Hawkes before, I am still very fascinated by this version. De Palma + Oliver Stone The golden combination of, coupled with AL passionate interpretation and Pfeiffer’s full back-to-back appearance, what can I do for you! The speech at the restaurant was both an exposing and satirizing the hypocrisy of the world, with a sad but familiar ending. "You just know how to hide, how to lie"
