This is a movie released in 1995. Starring De Niro.
The film is about the early days of Las Vegas. A casino develops, thrives, and declines from its inception, until the new casino replaces the old one. The new replaces the old. The old man is back to the starting point.
Casinos, according to the film, "are all about the money. It's the end result of all the dazzling lights, all the hospitality, the champagne, the free lodging, the women and the endless booze. It's all about making us take you away. Money. That's the real face of the casino. We are the only winners, the gamblers have no chance." This is true. In the film, Ace runs a casino, and his teenage Nicky organizes a gang of underworld thugs. The two cooperated tacitly. If what Nicky did was an explicit underworld, then what Ace did was a hidden underworld. Essentially, there is no difference. Nicky encounters a master who doesn't give money, and if you don't agree with each other, you will be beaten to death. And if Ace encounters a gambler who has won a lot of money and wants to leave, I'm sorry, the plane has a mechanical failure. Thinking of staying elsewhere, sorry, it's full. Don't stop until you get the money out of your pocket. To be reasonable, beneficial and restrained, without losing the gentleman's demeanor. Ace manages well, brings huge profits to the bosses, and is very proud of himself. Unexpectedly, I missed a lot, and I didn't expect that there is a more powerful role than him, and that is the government. Ace inadvertently offended the official, who said to him, "Mr. Rothstein, you guys will never understand how the world works here, you're only here as guests, but you're taking over. Let me tell you. , bro: this is not your home, home is where our governor sends you back when he is angry." The final outcome was as he said.
This is the social reality of America.
Ace wandered in the rivers and lakes, used to watching the performances of various evil forces, and enjoyed the joy of success. However, he also has another side. I just want to truly love someone from the bottom of my heart. As he himself said: "I decided to complicate life. For me, who is not a risk-taker, I spent the rest of my life making a very small bet." He fell in love with Ginger. But Ginger loves her lover Leslie. Ace had to struggle with this triangle. His relationship with Ginger was all about money. Ace's love for Ginger is such that: "Money and jewelry are meaningless without trust. I have to trust you enough to give my life to you." And Ginger's advice from Leslie was It's: "Sleep with him and cheat him out of his money." In this way, we see from the film that Ace is deeply in love with Ginger. He immediately glanced at Ginger outside the door through the cat's eyes on the door. Showing his mixed feelings of hate and love for Ginger. And Ginger's return is only for money. In fact, from the day they got married, Ace was doomed.
The film uses a lot of voiceover, even more than the lines. Makes the audience feel as if Ace and Nicky are being interviewed. Makes the whole story more realistic. We can also understand the character's heart based on these voiceovers. De Niro's acting is still the same as in other films before it, excellent, sophisticated, and steady. In the casino, he was invincible and resourceful, and resolved many seemingly insoluble contradictions. In terms of personal feelings, he retained a trace of innocence and put all his emotions into it. The display of these two different emotions is perfectly reflected in De Niro.
My rating: 7.5.
Another: The recent impressions are getting shallower and shorter, and the writing is shorter. The reason is that I really can't afford to delay that effort. In the past, if you wanted to write the impression of a movie, you had to watch it at least twice, and it took two hours to write the impression. Too much time wasted. So ah, read it again and write it right away, pinch the stopwatch for half an hour. What if there are typos? What about the incompatibility? What about superficial views? What about confusion? Anyway, firstly, I wrote it for myself, and secondly, it was for two or three friends to talk about. Hurry up and finish it, hurry up and watch the next one. A joy!
