The title starts with Robert De Niro starting the car, then explodes, and then pulls out his tumbling close-up in the flames caused by the explosion to lead to subtitles, leaving the audience with a big suspense. The narration of Sam and his surviving brother, Nicky, introduces characters and annotates parts of the storyline, allowing viewers to listen and watch without any thought of idleness. By the way, Joe Pesci, who plays the ruthless little Nicky, plays the role very deeply, from the moment he stabs a guy who is taller than him with a pencil to the moment when he is buried alive.
As for Ginger played by Sharon Stone, I don't know if it's because Director Martin always attaches great importance to male actors, or because of his acting skills. In short, it can only be said to be an ordinary vase, and it doesn't provoke any pity from the demon. . (Maybe my heart has turned hard). Nowhere near as good as her performance in Instinct.
The bosses are equally stupid, the money is equally tempting, and the women are just the same as decorations with a hint of soul. Brotherhood is always so vulnerable in the face of temptation. A man who moves towards material things is always sad, whether he is dead or alive.
Robert De Niro's performance has been perfected, and he always gives a bad sense of righteousness and bad immaculateness when he goes to that station. The scene in this movie when he brings back Ginger, who betrayed him, to the hotel. He finally couldn't control himself, and said a lot to Ginger, "I bought three suits and a watch for 25,000 dollars. Where did the other 10,000 go? Where did my money go?" , I'm starting to hate him a little bit.
Everyone he plays is so dangerous (except for the visit to his father-in-law).
Some people say that the younger De Niro is, the more ruthless it is, while the older Pacino is, the more poisonous it is. De Niro's face became calm and even sincere as the folds on his face increased. Hehe, recalling his performance in Taxi Driver, he took out his pistol over and over again in the mirror, or repeated that classic line with contempt or viciousness. Damn, what a cool, like a dangerous person. The performance in this film is polite and well-mannered, but it is a little uncomfortable... Of course, it is also necessary for the plot, because this society is becoming more and more polite, and the rules of the game are changing.
For the handling of violent scenes in the film, I can think of many things. For example, Sam dealt with the captured old man and smashed every finger of his right hand with a hammer. This has to remind me of the other two films. Scenarios - Pliers in Old Boys pulling teeth and Mel Gibson in Dangerous People getting toes smashed with hammers. I think the above three films are enough to shock people even if they don't let the audience see the picture with their own eyes and only listen to the sound. I personally don't really like the so-called violent aesthetics that Quentin clamored for. For example, when he shot Kill Bill, the ketchup splattered into different shapes. I didn't see any beauty, but it was a little disgusting. By analogy, those bloody aesthetics of violence and the violent treatment of Martin and Coppola's films and classic costume Hong Kong films are like comparing European and Japanese horror films. One is disgusting, and the other is truly psychological. Thriller. It is not ruled out that some people like the so-called violent aesthetics, anyway, this demon does not call much.
For gangster films, to borrow the famous saying, when the "bosses" are brilliant, they all have their own beauty, but when they are destroyed, they are surprisingly similar. Las Vegas is no exception. Who called Coppola filmed the godfather first, and who called Martin began to bury alive. I always have the feeling that everything about gangster movies has been exhausted. Gangster films have also weakened the performance stage of women without exception. Every major director has to find stunning beauties, because they are used as vases from the beginning, and those wonderful vases are smashed or smashed in the hands of the director. Discarded, in order to arouse the sympathy of the viewer. Brotherhood and brotherhood, a bunch of stupid men let more men watch movies while having excess hormone secretion, of course there is no way, I am also a man, this is inevitable.
But then again, this film is more about telling the story of a bunch of self-righteous little people who went from soaring to ashes under the unsound system of Las Vegas at that time. In general, in all unsound systems Under the system, all desires will be sacrificed. Martin's understanding is always so profound and sharp, so he will not be liked by the senior judges of Laomei. But where can there be a sound system? Human beings are inherently selfish, how much control will our brain rationally control our desires? When it comes to institutional issues, legal issues, and moral issues, how can a person take care of them if they can't even get enough food and clothing to survive. Once they have some material foundation, people are so greedy.
Maybe a little pessimistic, but fortunately Ginger didn't hook my sympathy, she died for her. There are 6 billion people, what are you afraid of...
