This is a good film, or in other words, it has all the elements that a classic film needs, such as old drama bones, idols, tight plots, adaptations of real events, classic film scores, flawless use of montages, profound Line design, everything.
Lefty may always only know the loyal, decisive gangster brother named Donnie, and he doesn't want to believe that he is actually an undercover federal agent named Pistone. Lefty has tested Donnie countless times, and Donnie has no flaws. He not only won the trust of lefty, but even made the mafia boss sonny black jealous for him and lefty. As an undercover detective, Pistone was undoubtedly the winner, until Lefty was hired due to an unscrupulous recommendation and was executed by the Mafia according to the rules.
If it's gonna be anyone, i'm glad it was him--a sentence lefty said before he died. Al Pacino is my favorite actor, bar none. He is very good at playing a cunning and conceited, powerful but affectionate gangster character, a hero for a lifetime. The mafia in the film is from Italy, and Pacino, as an Italian, has a strong Italian-style English that meets the standard of lefty. He is not tall, has a brown head, is described as withered, with a slightly hunched back, not like a vicious mafia, but more like a down-to-earth middle-aged man, dressed very carefully, wearing a black leather coat, leather shoes or Suits. I'm used to playing the role of the boss or the boss, and I'm very worried that he will play a horse boy as the boss in the film. After watching it, I found that my worries were unnecessary. This time he perfectly played a small role who only obeyed the boss, but always showed off his credit in the mafia. His hands were stained with the blood of 26 people, none of which was his personal vendetta, but all for the mafia, for the people killed by the boss. He didn't think about why, because in his eyes: A wise guy's always right even when he's wrong, he's right. He was cautious all his life, and only admired Donnie, and in the end he was ruined by the person he admired the most. He was not only an executioner, but also a father and a husband. He hated his drug-addicted son, taunted and ridiculed him for nothing. He was extremely contemptuous of his wife, and I even suspected that he was prone to domestic violence. But later in the hospital, when he saw his seriously injured son, he burst into tears, and when he finally said goodbye to his wife, he sincerely praised her: You are so beautiful. Before going out, he left all his belongings in the small cabinet at home, including watches, wallets, cash, keys, and lighters. He is a family man. So I understand that he is not a cold-blooded person. He is decisive in dealing with the enemy, looking forward to his relatives, and trusting his brothers and sisters. All my life I've tried to be the good guy, the guy in the white fucking hat. And for what? For nothing. I'm not becoming like them; I am them. --pistone confessed to his wife who didn't know the truth, and actually gave him a reason to worship lefty. There is something called Stockholm Syndrome in criminal psychology. It is more consistent with the situation of Pistone. Depp is a heartthrob, a beautiful man. I have always disliked such actors, because I think they only rely on one face to eat, especially Depp, who is extremely disgusted with the Pirates of the Caribbean series. However, I took off my hat to pay tribute to Depp's acting in a film about a loyal traitor. At the beginning, when he played against the old actor Al Pacino, he was relaxed and calm, and he played a ghostly jewelry appraiser. Donnie, who turned into a gangster, went from a slightly immature gangster to a mature and stable leader; from an FBI agent to the embarrassment and annoyance when confronted by his wife and children. Pu's foundation. Donnie really interprets the phrase "life is like a play, it's all about acting".
The above, personal views on the two main characters, the following, one point comes from the perception of some details of the film.
Lefty saw in the newspaper that Donnie used the cruise ship given by the police to tangle him, put a gun to his head, was persuaded by Donnie, and still chose to trust him. If it were me, I would definitely get rid of Donnie, even if Donnie is just a suspect, as a mafia, he can't breed tigers. But lefty didn't, it could only be explained that he really regarded Donnie as a sibling, even if his reason told him that doing so would eventually kill him. It has been shown many times in the film that lefty likes to watch "Animal World". He is very aware of the natural law of the law of the jungle. Therefore, when Donnie's identity was finally exposed, as a guarantor, he was "invited" by the boss, and he was also not afraid. For him, dying at the gunpoint of an accomplice was better than being caught and sentenced by the FBI. Forget about it, this line appears many times in the movie. The Mafia will say this sentence. It can be used to express ridicule, anger, helplessness, pride, despair, and all kinds of emotions. All-purpose sentence, to die under the gun of colleagues It works for both lefty and Donnie, who has gone incognito since completing the mission.
