How does cinema present reality? Al Pacino asked with performance instructions 丨 night

Answer: A/B/C

Based on true events, "Hot Day Afternoon" tells the story of Sonny and his companion Celer who ganged up to rob a bank, but the "well-planned" robbery accidentally turned into a farce to entertain the public.

Based on the true story of the pathologist Jack Kevorkian, a pioneer of euthanasia, Doctor Death tells the story of Jack Kevorkian's efforts to fight for the right to die for patients.

The Faithful Is a biopic based on a federal detective memoir novel (the Chinese version is called "The Faithful: My Undercover Career in the Mafia"), which tells the story of the FBI sending agent Joe Pease to go undercover in the Mafia, during which he becomes friends with Mafia member Rivotti, and finally strikes hard at the Mafia.

The characters in The Godfather have some real archetypes, but the film is based on Mario Puzo's novel of the same name, and the Corleone family is also fictional.

Whether it's a story based on a true event or a fictional story, Al Pacino uses his superb acting skills to shape the character and make you feel like the character is alive. In "The Godfather", he holds power and makes decisions; in "The Faithful", he becomes a small figure in the mafia, working hard for many years without being reused, but these do not affect his righteous character.

In addition to these serious characters, he was also able to perform absurd plots in the early days. In "Hot Day Afternoon", he is a criminal who robs the bank, but he does not forget to care for the hostages in the process. It may seem like a "stupid thief" who didn't succeed in the robbery, but Al Pacino can make you think deeply after a smile.

He was 70 years old when he starred in Doctor Death, wrinkles climbed up his cheeks, and his body gradually changed shape. But Al Pacino played the loneliness and persistence of "Doctor Death" and also unfolded the difficulties he faced in this career. While the controversy over "euthanasia" remains unresolved, the actors and works give us a window.
