Counter violence with violence, stimulate and materialize
In the 1930s franklin, the three brothers of the Bondurant family made a living from the private liquor business, and in the context of prohibition in the United States, violent interest groups composed of police officers at all levels, alcohol commissioners and others imposed interference on them, and a series of violent and interest competitions were staged in this barbaric land.
Guy Pierce plays The Prohibition Commissioner Lux, who first arrived in Franklin from Chicago, and in order to secure authority (profit from it), he decided to carry out precision strikes. However, the Bondurant brothers were reluctant to give in.
A struggle for power and status surged across Franklin's dark skies and among the damp woodlands.
Laax sent someone to attack Tom Hardy's second brother, Forrest, and the killer took advantage of Forrest's inattention to control his hands and feet and brutally cut his throat.
The Bondurant brothers, as a "return gift", cut off the killers' X-pills and sent them to Laax's door. Violence escalates further, and the youngest of the Bondurant family, Jack (Shea LaBeouf), takes his girlfriend to visit a distillery hidden deep in the forest, immersed in love, unaware that danger has quietly descended...
After a battle, the old Third Jack lost his best friend, and he remembered what the second brother Forrest had said to him: Violence is not to make a man lose himself, it is something that a man must face at any time. Old Three Jack rushed to Laax's base camp in desperation...
In the shootout, Forrest continued to fight with Laax with tenacious willpower, and fell to the ground with several shots. Seeing the scene in front of him, Jack finally saw through the fear, he took a gunshot wound and fought with Laax to the death...
Tough guys are cute and fried, and the wonderful drama of gorgeous card division
In the film, Tom Hardy's performance is a must, interpreting the survival instinct of people in desperate situations and the strong nature of bloody boys. Especially after learning the truth that his girlfriend Maggie suffered an accident because of escorting her injured self, Teacher Tang's facial expression changed from calm to surprise and anger, and then took a gun and ran away, performing in one go, showing the emotional details to the fullest.
And Tom Hardy not only has a tough guy side, in front of Maggie, he has changed a subversive face of "cute and fried":
At first sight, he did not dare to look directly at Maggie, but only dared to peek at it with the afterglow;
Injured, Maggie medicated him, and he sat obediently like a schoolboy who had just made a mistake;
Deep in love, Maggie left half a door for him, and he did not dare to push the door in...
In the face of bad cops, he is bloody and restrained; in the face of his girlfriend, he also deduces a delicate and tender side. The soup is so wet!
For Tang Lao Wet, director Hilcot praised: "I have always heard a lot of praise for Hardy, but I have never personally experienced his charm on the set, and this time working with him has finally seen this amazing guy." His performance, unique explosive and distinctive, has a strong and special personal charm. ”
Also advocating violence to solve everything is howard, the eldest brother of the Bondurant family, and the wolf howl when guarding the door at the distillery is a stunning place in the whole film, burning! Shea LaBeouf's performance is equally remarkable, and at the end of the film he sees his loved ones slaughtered by the enemy, fighting with his own life, and the moment he raises his gun and shoots, he becomes his hero.
Guy Pierce can also be said to be a textbook performance, bringing the heinous special police officer to life, so that netizens still hate it when they see that face after the movie.
Gary Oldman, another acting god, is a stroke of God every time he appears, pushing the plot to a new climax.
Life and death, the struggle and survival of people in the barbaric era
"At night, looking up the hill, you can see the fires that people have raised for the distillers, like the lights on the Christmas tree."
The United States Prohibition Act (also known as the Voltaire Act) went into effect in 1920 and was repealed in 1933. The Bill makes it illegal to manufacture, sell or even transport beverages with an alcohol content of more than 0.5 per cent.
But this has also brought many social problems, prohibition can not eliminate people's need to drink, the formal market is banned, the underground black market has been developed rapidly. Secret taverns replaced legal taverns, and wine smuggling became increasingly rampant due to the huge benefits. In particular, relying on the huge profits brought about by the private liquor trade, the gangs in the United States have begun to grow and develop, the police have become increasingly corrupt, and the crime rate has been rising.
Classic film and television works such as "Once Upon a Time in America", "Iron Mask Selflessness", and the American drama "Atlantic Empire" all present that special era and reflect the state of American society.
Human nature, in the face of great interests, often shows its most aggressive side.
Many people chose to secretly carry out winemaking activities in order to make a living, and in the face of power, they formed an organized armed team, which later became a gang. If the original gang organization was like a kind of chivalrous mutual aid society, under prohibition, the gang became a huge interest group and developed into a criminal group with a fierce heart. It can be said that Prohibition has largely awakened the gangsters.
In the context of this special era, many stories that cannot be one-sidedly defined between good and evil have been staged, which show the history of the rapid development of gangsters, and the protagonists have infected the sad background of this era with blood and even life, leaving a legend under the barbaric era.
Super gorgeous casts, enjoyable gunfights, legends under special history, and the fierce and cute "Soup Old Wet", this hardcore gangster movie must-see on the weekend!
