The images of the three people are opposites, at least no one looks down on the relationship of the other. This makes it easy for a part of the audience to choose a side among them, just like choosing a position in a debate. At the same time, it also provides several points for the audience to think about: First, Spacey's exquisiteness. The advantage is that it has a wide network of contacts, and can obtain a lot of criminal information, and can balance between solving cases and fame. The disadvantage is that while exchanging information with informants, it will condone crimes to a certain extent. For audiences with a strong sense of justice, the most annoying may be Spacey, a yin and yang character that is both righteous and evil. The second is Russell Crowe's Hot Detective. The biggest advantage may be to let the audience watch and relieve their anger. When facing criminals, if they don't say anything, they will beat them in the face. Batman feels that justice has been served before the suspect goes to court. Of course, the shortcomings are the same as Batman. Both the screenwriter and the audience know that those people deserve what they deserve, but Crowe really has no factual and legal basis, and it feels a bit selfish to seek justice. But I think this image should have the most fans, because many people are jealous of evil. The third is the intellectual stereotype of Guy Pearce. How to describe it? It's a bit like a scholar, or the role of a study committee member or monitor. The advantages are good grades, well-behaved, step-by-step, role models and monitors in the eyes of bosses, clever and smart people in the eyes of colleagues. The disadvantage is that he is completely inhumane, and his image is very unpleasant for friends like us. Don't say that he does bad things for the sake of the procedure to make people unhappy, even if he does good things, his colleagues will find him very annoying. In my opinion, the simple characters of these three people are already wonderful. What's even more exciting is how L.A. Confidential allows three detectives with such vastly different personalities to work together to disrupt crime. This process film shows something deeper.
