Have you imagined what you're doing after you're 70?
76-year-old Stallone, divorced this year, is still filming, as a veteran screen tough guy, his fists are still so hard.
After experiencing several well-known movies, the reputation of Stallone's latest series exploded.
"The King of Tulsa".
There are 10 episodes in total, which are cool and fun.
The film was launched on the streaming media platform in November, and the Douban score directly rushed to 9 points, which made people have to marvel: Ginger is still old and spicy!
No wonder some people say: this is a very surprising American drama towards the end of 2022.
The story tells the story of Dwight, played by Stallone, a former New York gang leader who helped the boss go to jail for crimes, but after serving 25 years in prison and being released, he was "exiled" by the new boss to Tulsa, Oklahoma.
Dwight realized that his gang wasn't thinking of his best interests, so he gradually built up a local "team" to help him turn around again.
So, the series has a more blunt name: Gangs of Kansas City.
The 76-year-old Stallone plays the person who wants to turn over, and his temperament beyond his age matches the people in the play just right, domineering, and has that smell as soon as he appears.
Speaking of which, I have to mention the golden creative team of this drama -
Both directors are masters of low profile, Benjamin Semanoff and Alan Courtler, one has filmed "Black Money Resort", the other has filmed "The Sopranos" and "House of Cards".
Coupled with the two major screenwriters of this series, there is a lot to come.
One is Terence Winter, who has written the movie "The Wolf of Wall Street" starring Xiao Lizi, as well as the highly acclaimed American dramas "The Sopranos" and "Atlantic Empire", and is extremely good at biographical gangster themes.
There is also Taylor Sheridan (below), a famous American modern western screenwriter and director, himself a lover of western cowboy culture, masterpieces "Border Killer", "Going to Soup", "Hunting the Wind River Valley", as well as the American drama "Yellowstone" that has been named a masterpiece by fans in recent years, and the derivative drama "1883", all of which are hard goods.
Such a story supported by the director and screenwriter, coupled with the extremely matching Stallone, has a wonderful spark, which is really a good surprise!
How can an old gangster with gray hair who was just released from prison turn over in the Exile Land? To some extent, this can also be seen as the re-employment of old gangsters.
Dwight was originally a small leader in the gang, but he was imprisoned for 25 years for the boss, and his wife was separated.
After being released from prison, he found that the world had changed greatly and went directly to the boss to compensate, but the original boss was paralyzed, and the new boss was actually the son of the original boss.
No matter how hard Dwight's fist was, he still didn't get what he wanted, and the other party told him that there was no place for him here, and he could only choose to "exile" to Tulsa, a small western town, to "develop".
Dwight, who was "abandoned", chose not to give up and start over.
At this time, in the face of the outside world, which has already turned upside down, he chose to use the method of "survival of the fittest" to break out another way.
As an old quack, Dwight not only has fists and righteousness, but also knows that money is important, and knows that he must find people and find doorways.
So, he found the black guy who drove his taxi, and used the money to make him his own driver, and more importantly, his eyeliner in the new city.
Then it was brought in from those gray places, collected the protection fee for the "pharmacy", and also went to the supplier above through the shop owner, wanting a piece of the pie ...
At the same time, this old gangster has always maintained his morality of walking in the rivers and lakes in his heart:
For example, if you see hooligans who harass women in bars, you will beat them when they go up; When he sees the old man setting up the stall, he will give the other party some cash to subsidize.
But I have to admit that in the face of a new world, Dwight is indeed old and looks out of place.
He doesn't use his smartphone to hail a ride, and sometimes he can't use cash, so he has to apply for a credit card. The abandoned old man wants to start over, but this world is no longer the world he used to be.
This is also the other side of "King of Tulsa": in addition to being a gangster drama, it is indispensable to face the side of humanity and time.
Thanks to the 76-year-old Stallone, who is in such good shape for a surprise this year.
The King of Tulsa, don't miss it.
