Dog Day Afternoon (1975) Hot-day afternoon comedy crime film with shallow comedy about deep seriousness. The economic crisis, the Attica incident, the Vietnam War... Even if you just watch this movie, it won't let you down, the comedy is great, the editing is great, and the lines are funny.

A good movie is sometimes a record of the times, perfectly condensing the times into a video of more than an hour. This is the case with this film, a very faithful record of America around 1975, and the background revealed will benefit those who want to know about this era.

We can feel the anxiety and overwhelm of people at that time from the movie.

    Lumei sharply sees the class essence behind real events. Every time Sonny negotiates, it is a show. The entrance of the bank is a stage for the whole world to see. Everyone expects to see a martial artist or an old clown, but unexpectedly, they see a mortal who pretends to be a robber. He is not even an actor, and only performs on the stage. What a frivolous thing. And who dares to laugh at mediocrity, or say, people like themselves? No wonder Sonny gets sympathy on and off the screen...

    It's so extraordinary, the most "exotic" bank robbery scene I've ever seen. It is to break the tense and simple confrontation between robbers and hostages in the traditional plot, reflecting the complexity of society and not only the tension of the situation; it is to cut directly from the act of robbery without explaining the history, and the output is turbulent from the perspective of acting alone. amount of information. On the surface, they are two unlucky thieves, but in fact they carry many issues without knowing it. Consciousness and method have the quality of a documentary, Lu Meite handed over the master's handwriting everywhere.
