Covers a lot of elements, but it is very shocking

Guy Pierce's words really sound like a perceptive political policeman. It takes a smart guy like him, and a gutsy guy like you. Are you 22 years old, why do you keep asking this? The 22-year-old can already be sentenced to death... When I told you about the death penalty, you didn't ask why, you've already put yourself a guilty sign. They want to take advantage of me, so why not take advantage of them. The script is really powerful. The three police officers are responsible for different modules and have different qualifications, but in the end they come together because of their respective cases and solve a big case where the team leader wants to take over the local underworld, but in the end, just as Kim Bassin Grid said, someone won the world, someone won the prostitute and the trip to Arizona. Pierce's character is to hope to catch those who killed his police father who was killed in the line of duty, and Russell Crowe's character is because his father domestically abused his mother and nearly starved himself to become a policeman. A policeman who is particularly sensitive to domestic violence, and Kevin Spacey's character can't remember why he wants to be a policeman. Although everyone has ideals, if you stick to them, you may not survive. And stick to justice, and you risk offending people. At the beginning, he taught the new Pierce a lesson, and he reported to his colleagues to become the team leader, but no one under him believed him. In the end, his justice came, but he also had some tacit deals with the Los Angeles Police Department.

L.A. Confidential, the name is very good, and it has a similar role to the "Absolute Confidential" newspaper in the movie, exposing scandals, and the newsman is to provide some key criminals to the Kevin Spacey (narcotics department) officer Vincent, and the police officer It provides him with some anti-drug information (for readers to find curiosity), and the transaction can be said to be ubiquitous in the whole movie, but it can be regarded as the word "secret".

In order to cover up the scandal that the team leader is going to become the leader of the underworld, and in order not to smear the image of the police department, in Pierce's character, Officer Ashley said that there is more than one hero, so that he does not tell the truth, so as to once again serve the police department The image of the more shining, this is Los Angeles, a dreamlike city.

A big city is always a hustle and bustle under an undercurrent.

    A splendid and gorgeous classic police movie with impeccable plot and details. Distorted justice and fist, Rorotomasi and eternal smile, some won the world, some won the good prostitute and the trip to Arizona. There were a lot of films that deserved more awards than Titanic, this is the most injustice~

    8/10. Revisit. The eye-opening compact editing and side backlight seem to satisfy the original desire of male violence. When the image of Asley waiting is reflected on the glass of the interrogation room, it heralds the conflict between him and the black suspect, which is shown in a panoramic view through Asley's turning around. The space location of the main character inserts White’s close-up of the suspect’s killing of his partner, implying that he will suddenly attack the suspect. A mid-range shot of a group of two people. The chief asks Eisley to make the black people confess guilt. The camera focuses on the gloomy side after Eisley answers. The face, panning down to Vincent’s suspicious expression, reveals the roughness of the interrogation without the actor’s actions; when Eisley rushed into the small black house with a gun, the lens with a slight angle, the irregular corridor lines and the elevator door frame, Showing nervousness and confusion, the beer bottle ironically dropped and touched Eisley’s sensitive nerves. The hotel rushed to the climax. The chief who killed Vincent appeared in a low-angle backlight. Eisley’s face was treated with cold side backlighting, in a dark area. The internal activities implied that the police officers did not want to be in a dirty and weak justice situation. At the end, the police station portrayed a corrupt and perverted chief into a hero who died in the line of duty for the image of Gu Quan, engraving a distinctive black mark.

L.A. Confidential quotes

  • Ray Pinker: Stomach of the week. Unemployed actor had frankfurter, french fries, alcohol, and sperm. Hell of a last supper, don't you think?

  • Bud White: Bullshit. How would a two-bit hick like Meeks get his hands on a large supply of heroin?

    Johnny Stompanato: You're right, it's probably bullshit. Even if he did, he could never unload it. Not without drawing all kinds of attention.

    Bud White: Maybe that's why he's under a house in Elysian Park and he don't smell too good, paisano.
