I am not a person who pays attention to details. When I am involved in a film, I am easily led by the film. I often cannot see the lack of it, or I do not have a deep understanding. I love it purely emotionally or Hate a movie. For this movie:
I like it
quite a lot .

I started watching "The Godfather", "Scarface" and countless Hong Kong gangster movies since the 80s
. The films of the 1980s and 1990s are really touching. They are pure gangster feelings. I haven't experienced such a decent and authentic experience for a long time. Compared with "No Country for Old Men", which was a bit more slanted, this is purely legendary. Gangster movie, kind of like Scarface (I've only seen version 83).

The private life of Detective Radish is enviable, and with his vulgar behavior, words and deeds, I initially thought that he was the same bad policeman as Moustache. This kind of plot may be a means to make this character more vivid, but It really made me feel a decadent atmosphere, and the good people in the society are still like this, not to mention the gangs? ??

In fact, both gangsters and modern enterprises are all talking about politics. When you step into this circle, your destiny is already doomed. When you know the ending, you have no way back, you can only move forward until you reach a dead end. So far. And the most moving character in this film, Detective Radish, does have a different opinion on this. He is only in his own beliefs. Even if his best friend dies or cuts off friendship, the principle is the principle, never Considering a compromise, fortunately he succeeded, pulling a large group of police officers into the water without precedent. What emotion am I thinking about when I see this paragraph, hypocrisy? ——A major political accident, a scandal that is absolutely impossible to be exposed after it happened... But it was said before the film that it was based on a true story, so believe him and be shocked by it——In today's world full of negativity, this star The green shoots of justice are so rare, she is so bright and colorful in the dark, people are willing to protect her at all costs, just to prolong her vitality a little bit.

For the protagonist Frank and many gang bosses like that, sometimes I think about why they failed or succeeded. I used to think that I was being treated badly, such as being betrayed by a brother; I didn't kill the ones who didn't kill them, I killed the ones that shouldn't have been killed), and left behind sequelae; or it was just bad luck, for example, it was usually clean, but the police brought white powder in the car on the day of inspection, etc... Now Thinking about it, it is life. The early efforts, successful fruits, and adverse reactions of this road are inevitable. You may be inferior enough to directly save the moment of enjoying success, but you will definitely not escape the disaster of death. Either don't do it, don't be afraid of death, your fate is magnanimous and confident, and you show his cruelty, because she knows that you can't refuse her temptation.
