"The Thief in the City", a gentle robbery

Xiaoben is determined to be a genius. Even robbery must be done with art, but also with a beautiful woman. You see what I said is not salty or bland. Watching a movie is a kind of emotional investment, that is, you have to interact. If you want to make it into art appreciation, then you just treat movies as a career—whether it’s a serious career or a fake business. You're going to go into this story, and be carried with ups and downs, nervous, moved, angry, sweet. I often say, you have to know how to follow high. So everything comes from whether you love the story or not, whether you are attracted to it or not.
The reason I say so much is that I don't like this story. Because I'm sick of all the Stockholm Syndrome, even if you're just upside-down with the novelty of robbers falling in love with hostages. Therefore, I can't be complimented by the beauty of the beautiful woman under the sun, so I can't be moved by the deep affection of the talented person under the shade of the tree. So I don't even care about whether he can "do the last vote and go home and marry his wife". Without that kind of care, the film can only be pure art appreciation, what a cold mentality.
Aside from my individualistic tastes, everything is fine. The robbery is very artistic, the heroine is very charming, the black boss is very artistic, the supporting characters are very brilliant, and the handsome guy with horse face, Xiaoben, plays it well. Aside from occasionally watching the less confident to inexplicable full-shot and action scenes that don't feel uncomfortable and nervous, the literary atmosphere is strong enough and not annoying. At the end, the protagonist's brother drank the last sip of Coke on the side of the roadside trash can and then died calmly, and the heroine dug up the small book and buried the sunny orange in the purse in the yard, which can make you feel emotional and even passive. A little gentle.
Love, rivers and lakes, Stockholm Syndrome, washing hands in a golden pot, tenderness and tenderness, it all depends on whether it's your thing. If it is your food, then this film is very literary and artistic; if it is not your food, then it is better to watch Hong Kong films.
