The significance of film noir is that it strips away the official ideology, restores the original form of society and the abstract realism of human struggle. In the East, the story of gangsters can be summed up as [Jianghu], fighting for survival in the wild and living in the temple for personal gain. In the West, the sociology of gangsters that study the specific forms of lower organizations, [American gangster] can be regarded as a good model.
In the history of film noir, the ties between the United States and France are undoubtedly close and deep. Although there are classics such as [Bathroom Murder], [Exhausted] and [Lone Killer] in the history of French cinema, film noir has indeed been officially finalized and developed in the United States. From an artistic point of view, the two have a lot of influence.
I watched a very authentic French gangster film [The Prophet] a long time ago. It abandoned the Hollywood formula and pursued a more restrained [black perception]. As a result, they are not only anti-heroes like black films like [American Gangster] , and even the image of the villain is also subverted. Regardless of whether the Prophet is good or bad, with a calm sympathy and the poetic lyricism of France, he makes us discover that this fallen world is so close, as if it is downstairs.
It's not a typical noir movie [American Gangster], but it's more like a roof at night - sleepy with the noise, trying to listen to what happened, only to find that the riots have long since dawned and gradually dissipated.
[The blank of family theory lacks historical accumulation]
The most familiar one in the film is definitely the Italian Sicilian Mafia. It seems that it is the ultimate goal of people in this circle. It is to become the Godfather of the Al Pacino experiment, with superb managerial ability and good at mass work. The soul of discipline and efficiency forged and defended by iron and blood. But on Frank's side, he followed the "lame" for many years, and he also knew that no matter how big the "lame" was, it was nothing more than the life of a black slave for a white master. Influenced by Martin Luther King, a revolutionary thought emerged in Frank's heart. But the European proverb says it well, “There is only one nobleman in three generations”. Without this kind of mass foundation, it is doomed to fail if one imagines that relying on the adventurous spirit of Protestantism can accomplish three achievements in one battle. What's more, what's even more deadly is that as soon as the hillbilly brothers came to power, they played with bureaucracy - wantonly smoking drugs among celebrities, and drawing knives and guns if they couldn't. And for these, Frank is just a violent addition. Lack of scientific invincible theoretical guidance will inevitably be eliminated by history in the turbulent struggle.
[With hot money, there is no guarantee of value and long diving, and I will not go ashore] I
gave up the education plan for my nephew, and a good athlete just died under the random guns of the Ratchasians. Family business - an outdated organizational form in the modern capitalist market. In fact, 20 years ago, the Mafia [Godfather] suffered for this, and you Frank was still in the ascendant to mobilize the whole family. The ending is self-evident. And let's not talk about the real events, if you make so much money, you will be like a Chinaman and save a small profit in the bank, and you won't wash it. Looking at the history, this nigger will only get involved in the drug field, and a little career planning is not enough No, it can be seen that the quality of science and culture is really low enough, and ultimately suffers from the loss of lack of culture.
[For the reactionary force of the white family Frank, you are a progressive force that must be suppressed] In the
modern history textbooks of the Celestial Dynasty, any chapter that touches on revolution or reform is brutally suppressed by [reactionary forces] This typical Leninist endorsement must be put on Yes, the prosecutor Li Qi said this, and he was a little left.
In a word, in short, this huge drug cartel was easily swept away by the Nixon era. They are not a family socialist party, but they just want to obtain drug dealers in paradise on earth from other ethnic groups.
[Not Lu Lingqizero but 1990]
As a feature film, I really can't believe that it was in the United States 40 or 50 years ago. Don't think that you can do something like the Kuomintang to pull Chiang Kai-shek's home, go abroad to take a location, interspersed with the impression of the times, and you can get away with it. The shotgun used, the music played by the blacks, the metal that Ricky played on, the way people were dressed, it was obviously the 1990s, bully me, never played Rogue-San Andreas, never heard of West Coast gangs Rap, haven't you watched [Forrest Gump]?
[Parallel narrative pretends to be an anti-hero too much and the main line is delayed]
Prosecutor Li Qi's gold is not like the leader of the Red Army in [Friends of Justice], every time he appears, he should be highlighted The sickle and axe on the chest, the formalistic aesthetics of animation is very good, but [Gold is not ignorant] through Li Qi's partner, boss, bribe, wife, Frank's lawyer and Frank's lawyer again and again to impose on the viewer, which is very impressive. people hate it. What's more, the director wants to turn this person into a rotten man who can only work but not live, why should he make a martial arts film with a female lawyer and have an affair with a flight attendant in the extended version, although the actress has good legs, the opposite, The expressions are all right.
There are some people who spend a lot of film to describe (such as the cool gang leader) and the result has nothing to do with the main line at all.
[The shootout and editing are very lively and BMG is very black, but the lens always makes people feel a sense of distance and it is not easy for viewers to enter] Commercial films are like this.
In the final analysis, a really good noir film is like human society. It is not black and white. During the period, there is a very broad color system, which is gray.
