1:42:17 The soundtrack for the bank robbery is a synth with a relatively constant rhythm. Shots of the shootout at 1 hour 47 minutes 50 seconds. It is very similar to Nicholas Tse's gunfire: Serious Cases 2021 The scene of robbers and police fighting on the roadside. There is no soundtrack at the end of the roadside fire. Until 1 hour 49 minutes 56 seconds. The camera is when the male No. 2 pulls up the downed gangster close-up. There's a cinematic accent that starts here, a soundtrack with time-limited synth constant frequency bands. 2 hours 11 minutes 04 seconds. When the male No. 2 robber was about to run away. The sound of the brakes of a passing car caught his attention. This kind of sound effect is to reflect the psychology of being a thief with a guilty conscience. Dissonant chords coming in from strings at 2:20:40. To pave the way for the tragedy of the daughter of the male protagonist who committed suicide in the bathroom. This dissonant chord moves on to a more harmonically pleasing sad tune. He came to divert the audience's attention to prepare emotionally for the scene where the male protagonist directly opened the bathroom door and saw his daughter lying in the bathtub to commit suicide.

2 hours 25 minutes 50 seconds. Here the string music is once again paving the way. After the male protagonist learns that he betrayed his brother's position, the entanglement in his heart gradually entangles with the progress of the discord of the string music. When he said I still had to work out some things, the strings completely settled down to a more comfortable harmony.

2 hours 26 minutes 37 seconds. The sound effect when the male second villain closes the door directly cuts off the flowing strings. It's a very good way of ending.

At 2 hours, 31 minutes and 34 seconds, the footsteps of the male protagonist rushing down the stairs have no sound. The point is not to express that the male protagonist can't wait to catch the prisoner, but to express the female protagonist's inability to repair the relationship between the two when she sees her husband who is gradually leaving. It can be seen that the voice here is depicted from the perspective of the heroine.

2 hours 33 minutes 08 seconds. When the male No. 2 betrayed his subordinates to death. The God of Shouji, which was shot in the chest by the opponent, was a state of hypoxia. Instead of a simple, very simple death from being hit, screams. This shows that the sound effect is for the polishing of the spirit. It makes people feel that the traitor was shot in the lungs, resulting in insufficient oxygen supply at the time, and such a sound will make people feel very painful at the moment of his death. At the same time, it reflects the psychology of the second male lead who hates traitors very much.

At 2 hours, 42 minutes and 20 seconds, the scene of the male protagonist and the male No. 2 duel at the airport runway. When the engine sound of the plane landing can already push the mood to a climax. When the male protagonist with two abdominal muscles, the close-up of the appearance of the shadow does not require additional cinematic sound effects to increase the sense of drama.

It's the same reasoning that the sound of an airplane's engine and the sound of a passing train in The Godfather are used to drive the climax of the shooting.

    The match between two lions is a wonderful and helpless cat-and-mouse game.

    #North Film Festival Review# The creative ability of screenwriter and director Michael Mann is very admirable. He can cherish ink like gold, but also fascinating. Often in a play, covering a lot of content. In the scene of the final confrontation, the two people were casually chatting, which seemed bland on the surface, but this scene was full of tension and emotion because of this. At first, the two characters just chatted about everyday things, but suddenly the topic diverged, and they talked about their dreams and perseverance. This scene is perfect because it's their only dialogue in the entire movie. Although they are rivals, they have found something in common with each other. This emotional collision is as exciting as love.
