a little impression

I wonder if Al Pacino is hyperthyroid, or the eyeball is much smaller than the orbit...

It's so exciting, put on a good show in a setting, obviously only in the bank, but revealed Sonny's life, the Vietnam War, the situation where he can't talk to the closest people, homosexuality is still a taboo era... Obesity wife, two children living on welfare, gay couples, women living in men's shells.

At the beginning, a companion ran away and laid a ridiculous black humor farce, a tragic ending that can be seen from the beginning, but people always imagine a little hope in despair, Algeria...

A short-lived bizarre relationship with the bank staff... The mob shouting and booing around, and after the fact that Sonny was gay was reported, the booing men raised their eyebrows one after another...

The police officers and the FBI have very distinct images and language. The police officers are full of bullshit, and they are all brothers in the world; the FBI is relatively quiet, and some factions between the police station and the FBI can even be seen.

It's amazing, especially the dialogue between Sonny and the woman, the dialogue with the same lover, and the dialogue with the mother, although it is not a dialogue at all, everyone speaks their own words.

Hey.....

I suddenly got a woman saying "walking contradiction" in "Taxi Driver" I watched yesterday, and the tone of the movie at that time was really similar.
