At the beginning of the film, Al Pacino is smoking a cigarette without anyone else, slow motion, focused eyes, as if living in an independent world, with his own set of rules, never caring what others think, knowing that everyone needs to fully demonstrate With your own unique life, you must establish your own rules and experience your own life, whether it is good or bad, this is your own life. This shot seems to tell us that he is a good person, a really happy person, even if he has been in the underworld for 30 years and can't get out of it, it's still good, even if his son dies of drug addiction, it's still good, even if he's deceived, it's still good . His heart has always been full of affection, he lives in a world full of emotions every minute, he understands his responsibilities, and his real moment is more valuable than the life of dignitaries. He is the kind of really beautiful thing in the world, you can appreciate him, you can praise him, and you can become a life-and-death friend with him, but you have no right to ask him to change, because you are not worthy.
Tony is the FBI. He has learned how to disguise himself and deal with those bad people. He is silent, brave, and strong, making people think that he is a man, a real man who can be trusted and trusted. He dares to beat people for bad people, dare to speak his mind, dare to argue with bad people for trivial matters, he only does what he thinks should be done, so he hears what the bad people have to say. Al Pacino told Tony that the underworld is not the same as the army. A guy in the army who you don't understand wants you to kill another guy who you don't understand. In fact, there is a certain truth to this statement. When Tony risked his life to be an undercover agent for the FBI, he could not get the minimum trust. Some officials did not have a lot of social experience and did not know what to say and what to say. What should I do, I don't know how to respect others at all. The underworld is different. Those people are more free and don’t have so many environmental restrictions. They can say what they want to say and do what they want to do. You can find real concern and feel that they live more like people.
If you have a wife and children, do you invite others to celebrate the festival with you when the family is happy? But Al Pacino left Tony behind with a simple thought: I can't leave my friend alone for Christmas. Moreover, he took Tony to meet all the leaders, "No one dares to touch you now, you are my person." He can't learn to talk and go around, and he doesn't have a high status, but he advised Tony to be smart, hoping He was able to succeed and created the conditions for him: "I will do my duty for our life and death." This kind of person is like this with friends, and he is willing to dig out his heart and lungs, and this is joy.
Tony is like this, because he loves his family, so he wants to keep doing this job, because he loves his new friend, so he doesn't want to talk more, he doesn't want to get promoted, he doesn't want to know too much inside story, no Willing to bring more trouble to friends. He already knew how to be trusted, and when headquarters started pushing him, he had to do it. He was reluctant to take off his shoes in a Japanese restaurant, saying that the Japanese killed his parents. In fact, he is unreasonable, and he and those other people are at odds with each other, but those people know how to respect a person's feelings, just to calm him down, they really crippled the Japanese boss. That's how they are. The more they do things for you, the more they trust you. You ask me to show that you value me. In their world, because there are fewer laws and rules, there are more feelings that cannot be bought with money.
It's not easy to be a big brother, and the people below will spend money on nonsense. If the money is not good, he has to worry about it. When Tony provided them with new opportunities for development, he felt that Tony was a caring person and sincerely cared for the big guy. He just trusted Tony and felt that Tony was even more friendly than his brothers for decades. FBI colleagues are also kind to Tony, but those people have limited ability to pay their feelings, and they don't even dare to say a fair word for him. They believe that only obedience can keep their jobs, and civilized people should not have temper. Big Brother asked Tony to run the business for him; when Tony beat people, he blocked the police for Tony; when they were arrested and the money was lost in Tony's hands, he knew that someone must be undercover, but that person would never be Dong. Tony; even, at the end of the film, when the FBI took the photo and told him that Tony was our man, he also said, "There's no way to prove that Tony is an agent."
However, there is only one person in Tony's heart - Alpa Sino, because, "He can tighten his stomach and pay for me." Although he did it with his eldest brother, he could never forget his friend. When an accident happened to Al Pacino's son, Tony went to the hospital to accompany him, "I want to stay with you, do you want to teach me a lesson?" Al Pacino is such a person, you pay him a If you share your feelings, he must repay you ten points. He will forget all your bad things and say to Tony: "When things come to an end, I will recommend you with all my strength." His greatest wish is to make good friends stand out and follow good friends. How good it is to work together!
For the sake of his friends, Tony not only cut off contact with the FBI, but also planned to embezzle public funds and give the 300,000 yuan to Al Pacino to buy a boat and let him leave the right and wrong forever. His wife stopped him, saying that if you were caught, you would go to jail, that you became like them, and that you wanted to live with me in the future? Are you saying my love is so hateful? But Tony couldn't help it, it was Al Pacino who guaranteed him that he couldn't kill his best friend. Al Pacino wronged himself for him, why can't he? However, Al Pacino is a man of loyalty and is responsible for many people. No matter whether he can afford it or not, he will not back down. He will never only think about himself, and he will never accept your Tony's money. He already suspects that you are undercover, but he just can't do it. When it's time to use reason, he will always listen to his feelings. Even if he is caught by the FBI, he will shout at you: "Tony, nothing. Don't say it!"
Tony always thought he could settle it, but Al Pacino committed suicide. If, if you could do it again, I know what you would do, Tony, you would definitely buy a luxury yacht of seventy feet long, bring your best friend along, and sail away!
