There are a lot of movies about bank robberies.
Come to think of it, I can't even think of Al Pacino's "Hot Afternoon" (also translated "Hot Afternoon" in 1975), and I can't think of any other film directed by Sidney Lumet. The movie is even more shocking to our eyes. This movie based on real events is better than the structure of the script - the plot is strange, the lines are good, and the acting is great.
The plot is strange, because Sony, the main criminal who planned the robbery, was to rob his gay boyfriend for money for sex reassignment surgery, so he planned carefully, and also brought two friends to help with the action. Unexpectedly, I was frustrated at the beginning. The timid boyfriend A was frightened and ran away in a hurry. sigh.
Therefore, only Sony, played by Pacino, is truly a "madman" who is not afraid of death and is willing to cut his teeth for the sake of his boyfriend. He thought that his actions were foolproof and that every act was accurate, but he never thought that on such a hot afternoon, when the bank was about to close, he was trapped in the bank due to an unexpected situation, and bad luck one after another.
After confronting the police for more than ten hours, Sony had to deal with the inside and outside. As soon as he went out, he attracted enthusiastic calls from the onlookers. As soon as he entered the door, he was the savior of the bank staff who were kidnapped, because only he could control the chaos and turn it into a pot of porridge. 's mess. It seems that the female staff who were kidnapped also have a bit of "Stockholm Syndrome", of course, they are also trying to survive.
Sony told her boyfriend B that she was going to let the police get a plane and go to Algeria together. However, her boyfriend said that he was afraid of flying and still wanted to go to Maryland by car. Sony says it's not a country. However, the police brought in Sony's gay boyfriend, and the two used hot language to express their sincerity, which attracted the live broadcast of the media. Boyfriend B in the bank said to Sony, I'm not gay, you have to tell them I'm not gay, Sony said they like to say it, whatever.
All undercurrents are surging. The police agreed to provide the planes and escort them to the airport. As soon as they arrived at the airport, a female employee of the bank who put them down told B not to be afraid of getting on the plane, but she was beaten to death by the police pretending to be driving a few minutes later. The overwhelmed Sony was frightened and dumbfounded. He was speechless to his fallen boyfriend. Who was to blame? Who was to blame? ! He was taken away by the police, Sony's dream was shattered, and there was another innocent life.
The film was made in 1974 and won the Oscar for Best Screenplay in 1975. In 1974, Pacino made "The Godfather" (2) after starring in "The Godfather" (1), which was the first peak of his acting.
But as for me, in 1974, when I was about to graduate from primary school, Xiao Huang Shuai's anti-trend occupied our field of vision, as well as the bleak autumn wind and the hungry people who came from the north. In the harsh winter, the large ice cubes in the river were pryed up and knocked in the sun as a gong, and the shattered ice was like the shadow of a lucky escape. Everything was so confused, even though I was young at the time, even though I was so ignorant, just like Sony trapped in the bank, the past and the present are like staggered and stupefied moments, from beginning to end, in cycles, and again and again. endless. What a vague life, after all, there is only an end.
