In the United States, various gangs in the underworld have different jobs. Generally speaking, they are probably dealing with drugs, arms, prostitution, casinos, etc. Most of them have their own legal companies for money laundering, and some even use the "socialist" name. The posture of "pillar" appeared in the public's field of vision.
Hollywood gangster films were also mass-produced, and all kinds of gangster films have sprung up all the time. I’ve watched countless of them, but two are more influential, one is “American Gangster” and the other is “Loyal Traitor”. people".
The real reality gangster story——"American Gangster"
The gimmick of "American Gangster" based on a true story really attracted me. When I thought that this was a real story, I was very excited. I always felt it was more enjoyable than watching other films, so I didn't care about the nearly three-hour long. The length of the film, I clicked rashly. In fact, the story has no new breakthroughs in the subject matter of most gangster films. How Frank became the boss step by step, how to avenge the former boss, how to buy pure Chinese marijuana or poison in Southeast Asia, and finally be attacked by other gangsters. And the story of the police purge. Of course, the plot at the beginning did not have many bright spots, that is, after he became famous and became the boss of a family, when he arranged work and meals for each relative in the family, he suddenly felt that it was very similar to the familyism of the Italian Mafia. This is omitted. The most unacceptable thing to me is naturally the ending of the story. I am more contradictory, because it is true, and I feel thrilling when I watch it (whenever a person dies, I feel that this person is really dead in reality) , I know this ending is also true, but I just can't accept such an enlightened legal system in the United States. A big drug lord who kills countless people and buys and sells drugs. Because of his good behavior in prison, he helped the police pull out other "peers". After a few years, it was released and became a free body. It's hard for me to understand Americans' definition of liberty versus law versus punishment versus redemption, just like the two people in "Born to Kill" who killed countless people, sparked a prison riot, gave up killing, and ended up living a happy life It seems that as long as you know repentance, everything can be forgiven, but the dead will not come back. Is this kind of punishment too rash?
Al Pacino---Johnny Depp---"The Traitor"
I like these two. There is no need to say about the acting. Al Pacino's movies have always been my favorite. The performances are all first-class, and he is a very good actor. I basically watch his films, not to mention Johnny Depp, just when such two heavyweights exist at the same time. It's just a matter of calculating the highs and lows. Johnny Depp's acting skills in this movie are not outstanding, but if you say Al Pacino, that's a good idea, although Johnny Depp should It can be regarded as the protagonist in the true sense, but Al Pacino's light is probably unparalleled, so it is commendable that Johnny Depp can reach such a level.
The plot of the story is not very new, the same story of police and undercover, but a series of contradictions and conflicts occurred in the step-by-step undercover process, the most painful and terrible is Johnny Depp. A young undercover, on the one hand, family conflicts put him in danger all the time, and on the other hand, Lao Zuo, who brought him into the gang, was sympathetic to him, causing his undercover psychology to shake and struggle. In the end, our undercover classmate Johnny Depp handed in a satisfactory answer, but the reality is really frustrating, he fought for his life and got a reward of five hundred dollars and a medal, the death of Lao Zuo , and the underworld's 500,000-dollar pursuit order, one can't help but sigh, whether all of this is really worth it, but the measurement of value varies from person to person. .
