I never liked the films of this famous director

I have always disliked the films of this famous director. When I watched The Wolf of Wall Street, I had the urge to walk out of the theater. Director Ma's rhythm is something I can't stand. It's very flat, not the fast or slow rhythm. If he can add some immobile smoking in the middle, the twenty-minute shot of thinking about something is also good. But he just chugs like a submachine gun, it's okay to watch a little bit, and after half an hour, he gets bored.

What is this film trying to convey?

The love of Hong Kong films? no.

What I can see is some nostalgia for the old days, only from the last paragraph of the self-report.
Or, like a documentary, it tells how the casinos in the past acted, and they did a good job in this regard.
Even if the above two points are achieved, what is the point.

I think this movie is overrated. Certainly some lenses are quite good.

    The initial perception is more like a film noir, the flashback narrative of the dead, a large number of character monologues, and the corruption of the characters' desires, all resemble traditional film noir. And the whole gang story structure is more like a continuation of Martin’s new Hollywood gang movie. The form is richer and more emotional, so that the three-hour film length is not long, and it is more like a nonsensical farce performed by a group of clown-like characters. . The trio of Martin, De Niro, and Joe Pessi can see many shadows of "The Good Guy" as far back as possible. Long mirrors, passionate love, violence output, gang epic, and later can spread to "The Wolf of Wall Street." , Casino entrepreneurship is like a Wall Street strategy, Sharon Stone is like Harlequin, De Niro is the old-school Xiao Li, the whole character's fortune to the collapse of the dream is a typical gangster's destiny. De Niro's ending is more like a black figure who is gradually marginalized.

    I don't really understand it, and I don't know much about the Las Vegas political system at the time. It was Uncle Deronie's ruthlessness and gambler mentality that made me stick to it, and then I was nominated. Sharon Stone, this is probably the best Peach he has ever played. As for the little dwarf, that is the dwarf, who is full of crooks.

Casino quotes

  • Ace Rothstein: [voice-over; notices a couple of card counters] Now here's this guy reading the dealer's hole card and signalling his buddy at this table.

    [the signaler, using a small telegraph, types a morse code to his friend at the other table]

    Ace Rothstein: And that's just what these hustlers look for. They cruise from casino to casino, looking for weak dealers the way lions look for weak antelope.

  • Ace Rothstein: [voice-over] They never know what hit them. And if, and when, they do find out that they just got zapped by a cattle prod, they wish they really did have a heart attack.
