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.

    [Taipei Golden Horse Film Festival Screening] The first time I saw it, I was surprised that the first half was so humorous and funny, the theater was full of joy, and the robbers' behavior was naive. And the female teller is hilarious and sarcastic. Issues such as the Vietnam War trauma, media ugliness, and queer communities that have been addressed and revealed have added depth. The ending is not difficult to guess, but the second half is too protracted, just like the hot weather in the film. Al Pacino is great

    The Godfather's Las Vegas brother. Pacino still works with him quite often. Actually, I think he played really well. The Stockholm symptom doesn't seem so low-level, it seems reasonable, psychological terms always elevate the trickle of ongoing events to a horrifying angle. Is this the generalizing and revealing power of the term, or does it actually go against the feel of what is actually happening?
