Routines, storytelling, and procedures still make me feel that three hours is a long time

The more Martin's gangster films are watched, the less and less fond they are. This is due to aesthetic fatigue. Familiar with Martin's usual methods, I feel more and more the rudeness and pretentiousness of Martin's gangster films, and the use of audio-visual language is too easy.

The long series of explanations at the beginning have a huge amount of information, and the introduction of the world view can only be described as simple and rude; when anyone speaks dirty words, no matter which character is in which movie, they are all pretending to be a face, and the subtext is nothing more than "believe". I don't believe Lao Tzu will kill you", very posturing; because I've seen his more deeply rooted characters and classic plots before, you can see this movie really, they are all familiar actors, and the commentary immediately asks you to accept another character setting Certainly, this kind of routine method for efficient storytelling has become a little tired, and I feel like I want to stuff a long classic into a three-hour movie and have to cover everything. Also, this film looks very bad, and many characters are ugly. It can be said that this is an ugly film. I know that the style of Martin's gangster films is like this. If it sounds good, it is sharp and free and easy to express. I like his "Goodfellas", but I really don't like this one. Why do I want to watch a movie like this: the heroine is insane, doesn't know how to reform, and is not cute at all; the male protagonist is too cheap to sell his bottom line again and again; life is like a waste, and people with power are full of power Disrespect but also give a comedy style. It can be said to be a fresh expression method before, but after the freshness is over, I don't like it anymore. I'm probably taking this film too seriously, as if the aesthetics were stuck in the last century. But art should promote the truth, the good and the beautiful. In my opinion, these are not beautiful. There is no systematic study of the development and cultivation of Martin's gangster films. Unfortunately, I only saw this film after the comparison. There are not many highlights in the film itself.

But the level of Martin's director is all there, and the general feature film may not be able to match, but compared to Martin's classics, I really want to see something new. I like Robert's car being bombed several times to create suspense, which makes it more enjoyable to watch a movie and enjoy a montage narrative experience. The ubiquitous character OS and various plot commentaries probably account for at least 45% of the narrative. I Why do you feel wronged about your taste in movies because this is a movie that everyone praises?

Needless to say, this is a very personal opinion. I was full of love for Martin, but watching a movie is a very subjective thing, and I am not a professional film critic. I have an obligation to guide others to discover this film is excellent. I would like to teach the public how to be aesthetically correct... But if someone corrects me in the way I look at this film and discovers the beauty of the director's technique with a professional eye, I'd still be happy to learn it
