LA Confidential

Watching this movie ten years earlier, I might have been pleasantly surprised. I have watched a lot of movies, and when I watch this movie again, I feel that the turning point is just normal.

The script has to say, it's great, especially the neatness. At first I was wondering why the man with glasses had sex with the woman of the fist man. When I recalled the character arc of the three men, I understood: all three men passed through Nirvana once, and the star man was the one who put fifty dollars into the wine glass On, when he turned and left the bar, it represented his awakening of his original pursuit of justice; Yu fist man, it represented that he came to beat the glasses man after he knew that the glasses man had fucked his woman, but he threw the chair Going out of the window as a final vent and closing his hands, it means that he starts to use his brain? He understands the difference between venting his emotions and trying to figure out the difference between his own desires and the pursuit of justice; In terms of chronological order, his transformation was before the fist man, the moment he kissed the prostitute, which represented that he let go of his fantasy of perfection, did not pursue the perfect self, and did not pursue perfect justice, he completed the procedural justice to The transformation of facts and justice. The three people broke the original cognition and were able to cooperate. For the sake of neatness, abruptness is acceptable to me?

It's a pity that I'm used to it, the darkness is not so dark, and the human nature is not so human, such a simple turn has not shocked or surprised me. But just yesterday, I was shocked to the point that my scalp was numb, and I shouted "Genius?" It's Yang Dechang's terrorist. This ending is something I never expected, this setting is amazing and makes me jealous.

One more thing I didn't expect. The recurring eye passages made me think this was going to pave the way for an ending, haha. There is also the fist man. With all the camera positions, I knew this man was going to die, but I didn't expect him to survive. Why is this? Just to give the glasses man a witness?
