1. "The Godfather"
Douban: 9.3
Starring: Marlon Brando / Al Pacino / James Kenn and others
Film review: This film has been upgraded from a police story to a quest The epic of power and the use of power officially opened the Oscar's "New Hollywood" era, and expanded the types of gang crime films, which had a far-reaching influence on many classic gangster films afterwards. The gentle rhythm contains great authority and tension, the music is soothing and sorrowful, and the game of interests conflicts with human nature. Whether it is acting or the use of lens or music, it gives people a kind of beautiful enjoyment. And watching this movie is extremely necessary to sink your heart to savor it, and you can have new feelings whenever you turn it out and relive it.
2. "Infernal Affairs"
Douban: 9.2
Starring: Andy Lau / Tony Leung / Huang Qiusheng and others
Movie review: At the end of the nineties, Hong Kong movies have entered a trough, and the downturn in the following years has continued, this time the superstar It can't save the box office and word of mouth. Many people are wondering whether the Hong Kong film is going to end. It was not until December 12, 2002, that "Infernal Affairs" was born, and it broke this people's imagination. The film is out of the ordinary police and criminal film, without the love and hatred of heroism and chaos. More of it reflects the complex relationship between police and robbers, but it is not limited to the intrigue between each other, especially the tragic death of Chen Yongren at the end, which brought this drama to an unprecedented climax.
3. "Once Upon a Time in America"
Douban: 9.2
Starring: Robert De Niro / James Woods / Elizabeth McGovern and others
Movie review: I didn't fully understand this movie when I watched it before. There are too many movies. The content of the content can not be digested at once. Re-watching this nearly four-hour movie, I didn't feel the slightest dullness, as if reading a thick novel, all the most important things in my life are in it, and it is worth slowly recalling. Especially when the theme song sounded, tears filled my eyes. The first half of the laugh was filled with tears, and the second half was filled with mixed feelings, as if I had read all the ups and downs of life and could not get out of the mood of the movie. There is also Morricone’s soundtrack, exquisite multi-line narrative and characterization, diverse matching editing, De Niro’s acting skills and Jennifer Connelly’s stunning beauty...Every point is fascinating enough.
4. "The Irishman"
Douban: 9.1
Starring: Robert De Niro / Al Pacino / Joe Pesci and others
Movie review: The protagonist of the film is the "Cold Killer in the Middle" played by De Niro The role, in the era when the gangs are prevalent, such a person who never asks much, is indifferent and murderous, is of course the most enjoyable, but what is the moral purpose of the gang? Loyalty only has the loneliest ending in a lifetime. Scorsese has made so many gangster movies, this one is the least passionate and the most suspicious of life, the sadness and helplessness after getting old is embarrassing. The movie is surprisingly humorous. Although the overall tone is heavy, it is not dull on the whole. In addition, what is more exciting than the three movie kings performing on the same stage again?
5. "New World"
Douban: 8.8
Starring: Lee Jung-jae / Cui Minzhi / Huang Zhengmin and others
Movie review: The fatalism of "Infernal Affairs" and "Extremely Evil" is mixed, and it also has the trial meaning of "The Godfather". Marvel at Lee Jeong Jae's performance, that kind of puppet's crazy backlash against the matchmaker, which became the absolute highlight of the film. The whole film continues the tradition of violence and black government in Korean movies. The plot is compact and tense, and the ending is unexpected and reasonable. In short, in this new world, after all, it was born in blood. It's you who made him hot, don't blame him for being ruthless. It’s just that, in the lonely heights, he will still remember that at the beginning, he and the friend in the flower shirt were shopping together.Later, the two smoked and smiled at each other. It was dusk, many years ago.
6. "The True Colors of Heroes"
Douban: 8.7
Starring: Chow Yun-fat/ Ti Lung/ Leslie Cheung and others . I am a post-90s and I also like watching this movie. The shootout was very exciting, and the brothers were very loyal. If a person is determined to be a good person after he has done something wrong, he will be a good person. It’s not terrible to do something wrong, but you don’t know how to repent if you do it wrong. My favorite among them is Mark Pony. He is passionate, daring, and able to bend and stretch. You can sacrifice yourself for your eldest brother, for your brother, for your friend. This kind of blood is not available to everyone. He is also one of the people who understand this society, others, and himself in the film.
7. "Gun Fire"
Douban: 8.7
Starring: Wu Zhenyu / Ren Dahua / Huang Qiusheng and others
Movie review: "Gun Fire" won one Golden Statue (6 nominations) and two Golden Horse Awards (4 nominations) . Someone once commented that it is "the pinnacle of the Hong Kong gunfight". Although a bit exaggerated, it truly expresses the status of "Gunfire" in Hong Kong films. The whole film is full of tension, the actors perform well, and the plot does not have the slightest extravagance. Whether it is the rivers and lakes bred in the tranquility or the brotherhood in the introverted, there is an artistic conception of silent than sound. The protagonist of the film has superb acting skills, exquisite character depiction, many foreshadowing plots, ingenious shooting conception, and a ghostly circus soundtrack. After watching it, it is endless after watching. So that I could actually watch it a second time without getting bored.
8. "Yellow Sea"
Douban: 8.5
Starring: Ha Jung Woo / Kim Yun-seok / Zheng Man-sik and others
Movie reviews: For a long time, I thought that Korean movies are the genre of barbaric girlfriends and rejected them until I watched this movie. Thank you for helping me open the door to a new world. The whole film is full of tension, whether it is sad, angry or helpless. Emotions and plots pass in a flash in the play, various contradictions continue to explode, various characters continue to appear, die, chase, and run. It’s like the bowstring becomes tighter and tighter, the muscle fibers continue to break, the mother prays for the baby to cry, and the universe is compressed to a singularity... Then suddenly BOOM, the world is quiet, the damn is dead, and the damn is dead. The story is over. The whole story is happily and neatly, like an autumn wind sharp blade, which gracefully chops off my head, but I am still admiring the beautiful arc of the blade, which is endlessly memorable!
9. "Falling Dog"
Douban: 8.4
Starring: Harvey Keitel / Tim Rose / Michael Madsen and others
Movie review: Quentin, worthy of a ghost, has never disappointed. Most of the stories that happened in a small warehouse can be so memorable. The identity of the police is full of the flavor of a "killing game". It is admirable that such a low-cost secret room dialogue can produce such a high-level thriller movie. Every development of the matter is unexpected, and the technique of interspersed narrative is also very clever. I read it three times before absorbing it. It’s rare that Quentin can find Tim and Steve and a large group of old rivers and lakes to accompany him in this play. At the beginning of the table foul language culture, then to the dancing and killing, the black technique is vivid and incisive, making people watch the movie. After that, the thoughts are still unfinished, and I forget to return.
10. "Lie Hao"
Douban: 8.2
Starring: Lu Liangwei / Zheng Zeshi / Ye Tong and others
Movie review: McDonald's superb biographical film, the production team and cast are basically the same as the later "Shanghai Emperor" , The standard is quite high. The entire film has an obvious epic temperament, very grand, and distinctive characters. In particular, the powerful actors interpret the roles of different personalities to the right degree. The plot is even more fascinating and complete without any sense of procrastination. Especially the heroic, hard-hearted and even domineering of the lame, which was interpreted by Lu Liangwei very shockingly. At the moment of expansion, I looked back at the gathering and staying of opponents, cronies, wives and children, feeling a little bit emotional. In addition, the performance of Ye Zimei also adds a lot of color to the film, which is very eye-catching.
