To be honest, the first thing I noticed about the movie was that Al Pacino was sitting in the car and I was like, "He's so handsome." Especially the messy bangs in the back are much better than the normal hairstyle in Godfather. I always thought that Sonny couldn't hold on anymore. Chattering discouragement and complaining, raucous crowd, police, negotiation? (Formatted brainwashing?). In the second half, he kept wiping his sweat with a white handkerchief, and hung up the phone with red eyes. (Later lips are also red).
It seems that during that time, the bank was the most peaceful place. The hostages are also obedient, dancing and dancing, chatting and chatting. At this time, the audience (such as me) very, very much hope that the hostages will be more obedient, the police will cooperate more, and the crowd will be more restless. Therefore, when they robbed money, they suddenly had some release, but they saw the desire for more ugly money. Angie will only chatter, (by nature), and she will spit out bitterness when she catches it. Sonny's mother, (actually doesn't know what "sucking money" means), will only do meaningless things, thinking that everyone can be happy, and that a great mother's love can overcome all disasters. Crowds who have been waiting for an opportunity to stand up and rebel can stand in line and jeer because of one or two "words" regardless of principle, and they can give their middle fingers unscrupulously (in that chaotic era).
I really like the irony effect in the movie "the police thought they were saving the hostages, but in fact the hostages and the kidnappers had a good time".
It was as if everything about Sonny was fading away. From the farce and complicated relationship between his mother and wife, Leon was eager to clear the relationship. Shar was in the middle of the eyebrows, and the hostages turned their backs to him. In fact, he had thought about it when he wrote his will. Then I thought about how cute it was when I had a free funeral.
Sonny has been asking for Shar's opinion, because doing so is constantly reassuring him. very necessary! Because of the muffled person, it is difficult to predict what he will do. In particular, Shal held the gun with a solemn expression on his face. Always worry that he will shoot the hostages. In the end, the FBI agent reminded him three times, which was a hint to him. The first and second time there were no accidents, and the last time was a hit.
Regarding the level of chaos in that era, I have seen a certain number of movies, and almost every film review has to talk about the background. This film is the most comprehensive portrayal of that era.
