Dog Day Afternoon

Dog day afternoon The director literally made a microcosm of the American social group in the 1970s, hiding it in this robbery: the proliferation of TV entertainment, the hero worship of the Attica incident, and the distrust of the police LGBT The rise of power, the oppression of the Vietnam War family, the different attitudes towards wives and "wife", the power of money... This is probably the most romantic robber in movie history: he just wanted to give his boyfriend money for sex reassignment surgery and leave The damn country, flying the hostages and Shal to Algeria or the Netherlands. There is a scene where my eyes get wet when I look at it. It was the scene where Sonny's mother came to the bank to talk to Sonny. My mother actually cared about her son very much. Knowing that it was not what he wanted at all, the pain of not being able to understand each other was too uncomfortable. In the end it all ended so suddenly, the driver backhanded, Schar died, Sonny was arrested, the story ended, and the scene was frozen at the crowded airport, as if it was just an ordinary day, not a one for everyone. Terrible dog day afternoon.

    Seventies, Vietnam War, homosexuality, racism, iconoclasm. The utilitarianism and ruthlessness of the media and the police, the expressiveness and blind worship of the younger generation are, of course, disappointment and confusion in the final analysis. The so-called Stockholm Syndrome, from Sonny's point of view, is nothing but human affection. The scariest thing about this movie is that it blurs the definition of justice.

    Al's performance should indeed be affirmed, but I still feel a little bit too much. Remember Travolta said in another movie, What if he started killing hostages right away? No mercy, no quarter... BTW, actually, I do not like HAPPY ENDING.
