I like old movies more and more, there are no gorgeous special effects, no loud explosion scenes, stories are told by continuous logic, and stories are enriched by story details. L.A. Confidential looks a bit boring, but it is rich in details. For example, it does not exaggerate the ideals and vanity too much, and only uses a short plot to illustrate his swing between glory and truth. The three protagonists have different personalities, and they are all well-crafted. One is the propaganda face, the police's propaganda representative, the other is courageous, the representative of force, the one who is thoughtful and intelligent, and the representative of wisdom. The three are ordinary colleagues to each other, because one There is a simple intersection of the cases, no one has any influence on the other's thoughts, and they are all independent individuals. Worth a look.
