After the prosperity

Before writing this review, I went to a toilet and noticed if anyone followed the toilet or if there was anyone else in the toilet.

What impresses me most about this work is the description of the desolation after the prosperity, from the delivery of beef to the important members of the trade union and finally to the lonely desolation in the nursing home.

When the Irish were young, they were really ruthless, shooting directly on the street! The people who watched it were frightened. He was a soldier who rarely hesitated, and was always neat. This is how Russell and Jimmy gained their trust, from the little guy who delivered the goods to the union officials who came to congratulate the city's dignitaries. But these are all foreshadowing, the undercurrent of gangsters in the film has been surging, and seeing those gangster actors smoking cigars and that scary look takes my breath away.

The shaping of the atmosphere that the mountains and the rain are coming and the wind is full of buildings makes me admire the director. It felt like this until all the previously powerful characters went to prison. Tony, who used to be smoking a big cigar and showing fierce eyes, saw him collapse on the operating table; watching Russell, who was always calm before, always in a suit, began to fall asleep, and trembled after a stroke in prison With trembling hands, Russell, who was always elegant and calm, couldn't even hold a cup, and he couldn't even eat bread without his teeth. The gang bosses who used to be all-powerful have all become old men who are trembling in prison. This comparison is a bit funny, but more bitter and desolate.

Jimmy, when he first appeared, was already in full swing, the boss of the union, and a figure on the same level as the Elvis Beatles. He was later criticized by the Kennedy family attorney general, and was eventually arrested and jailed for contempt of the judicial system. After he was released from prison, he wanted to retake the union, and he was forced to seek support from a local union leader and another Tony. It's absurd that he, who used to be aloof, wants to apologize to this colored tony who was 15 minutes late for the interview in shorts and short sleeves. He must not be able to hold his face, and it must be difficult to accept that the days when he was in his prime are over. When he changed his mind and was willing to compromise, he was most trusted by the protagonist who shot him to death in an apartment. Before he was killed, the director specially arranged for the protagonist to take a good look at the arrangement and decoration of the apartment from the perspective of the protagonist, like the last tour, the last Requiem.

The film that touched me the most was the protagonist frank, who was heavily in debt. When I finally looked back, I found that my daughters had become estranged from him because of his terrifying behavior in the past. His wife had passed away. , an old man who limped alone into his twilight years. All the objects of grievances have passed away, but those who care about him no longer care about him.

I didn't see the ancients before, and then I didn't see the people who came later. I read the long time of heaven and earth, and I sighed and shed tears alone.
