Roger Ebert’s film reviews are undoubtedly wonderful. When the whole story is dissected with as little spoilers as possible, it can be seen that Roger is full of praise for the main characters in the film, but in At the end of the film review, Roger still paid high respect to the core ideas of the film.

"At the end of the movie, Ed made the choice-the same choice as the black hand behind the scenes. He not only compromised with reality, but became reality. He broke the game with his heart of insisting on justice and won beautifully. This war, but in fact, he has become like the man behind the scenes: just like the dialogue between Ed and Dudley at the beginning of the movie: in order to achieve the so-called justice, no means compromised super agent.

So, perhaps, Ed is the next behind-the-scenes man in the future.

From this perspective, this is not just a story, but more like a game. In this game, there are no specific names, only positions surrounded by interests. If the boss of the **** is replaced, a new leader will appear; if the **** is suppressed to be unable to fight back, a corrupt person within the system will replace it; a high-ranking official in the system will fall from the horse. Another borer appeared.

This is an invisible circular game. Anyone in this game has to make a choice after all, either to be assimilated, to be abandoned, or to flee far away. No one can be an exception. And this situation is the cruel social reality of today, and this is the deepest and most terrifying core idea of ​​‘L.A. Confidential’.

Two years ago, the'Seven Deadly Sins' threw out a terrible social prediction: this society is too indifferent, and the supremacy of interests makes all emotional fetters cold and useless, but the film did not give a solution, but left it. Endless frenzy of thought.

Two years later, ‘L.A. Confidential’ told a real social reality: this society has been eroded by darkness and corruption, and no one is safe and no one can escape. The movie also didn't give a solution, but it gave the answer: choice.

In the face of the darkness of society, everyone has the right to choose, and not only once, every fork in each pass has the opportunity to choose, different choices will lead to different results, and the scenery at the end is also completely different. Ed, Jack, and Bud all made different choices and ended with different endings. So how will the audience sitting in the movie theater choose?

So, this goes back to the title of this film review, ‘someone wins the world, some wins Congliang. The prostitute’s Arizona trip’. This is not the idealistic former Soviet Union. "There will be bread and milk will also be there." This is the **** and cruel social reality. You have to make a choice.

Ed, Jack, or Bud? Maybe you can choose your ideal lover-they are indeed attractive dates, but at the same time you can also choose a dream goal. So, what choice will you make?

This is more cruel than the "Seven Deadly Sins", because the answer given by the "L.A. Secret" is to torture people. No one can get rid of it, and no one can win, and no one can do better than Ed, Jack, and Budd. . At this moment, raise your right hand and place it on your chest to feel your heartbeat. What is the sound in your heart? Can you hear me? "

At the end of the film review, Roger concluded, "The first time I watched it, I was pleasantly surprised; when I watched it later, it was still like a good red wine with a profound fragrance. The meticulous, ups and downs of the plot arrangement, the mountains and mountains, profound and vivid The characters are all telling one word: classic."

Roger gave a full score of one hundred points, and also gave a four-star affirmation on the recommended value of four-star full marks, which coincides with Nicholas of the Los Angeles Times. Although Roger did not directly say whether the "Seven Deadly Sins" and the "L.A. Confidential" are better, which is not comparable, it can be seen that Roger has more feelings about the core of the "L.A. Confidential". Compared with the "Seven Deadly Sins", the "L.A. Confidential" is one step closer, reaching people's hearts, and the cruel truth is far-reaching.

The "Chicago Sun" published Roger's film review, which undoubtedly aroused heated discussions, because Roger proposed a bold idea: the cycle of bureaucracy.

Roger believes that the "L.A. Confidential" script hints at the possibility that as long as the benefits exist, society will continue a vicious circle: bad guys may be eliminated, but good guys may also become bad guys, taking over all previous dark industries. This is not only a bold idea, but also an extremely pessimistic idea, which almost poses the most severe torture of the entire social system.

This even makes it impossible to distinguish clearly whether the "Seven Deadly Sins" are more terrifying or the "L.A. Secret".

The "Seven Deadly Sins" really degenerate the hearts of the people. The indifference of the society gave birth to crimes, but the law enforcement agencies still performed justice smoothly. Unfortunately, the darkness of society is still a cloud of fog; the entire society of "L.A. Secrets" has been grayed out. Shrouded, even law enforcement agencies have been infiltrated, and the heart of justice is disappearing bit by bit. Is that ray of sunshine really enough to save this society? Or will the cycle of circles continue endlessly?

This is the moment when the whole movie truly makes the soul tremble, the shadow of rebirth, after marrying to the full text reading.

Two years ago, the "seven deadly sins" that occupied the right place, the right place, and the right people set off the whole society to condemn the uncrowned king. However, the time point for the release of "L.A. Confidential" lacked such a boost, but even so, Bill, who successfully completed the re-election of the president last year -Clinton didn't dare to neglect at all-the last time he was negligent, his gaffes continued to expand, almost to the point of being uncontrollable, and even the presidential election became eclipsed.

In an interview with a regular press conference, Bill took the initiative to accept related questions, "Of course, it is undeniable that there are still many problems in our society, but we have been working hard, right? Just like Hugo, He is always able to make a wise choice, and we should also believe that the people will make the right choice. Our judicial system has always been transparent and fair, giving the public the right of choice and supervision to ensure that the society can function normally. It is undeniable that Hugo is a very good actor. I personally cherished a videotape on Independence Day last year and occasionally watched it with Hillary in my spare time."

Bill, who has been re-elected as president, is of course not to be underestimated. He successfully shifted the focus and used "Independence Day" to imply that all people would unite in the face of social disasters. This is undoubtedly a successful strategy, which effectively controls the pessimistic thinking of the "circular situation".

But it is undeniable that Bill's active attack instead attracted a lot of attention for the "L.A. Confidential".

In the last two years, the United States has gradually recovered from the turmoil of the economic crisis and has begun to grow steadily; the political arena has regained stability, and people are generally satisfied with life; after the uncrowned king has withstood the original lessons, his actions have become cautious. Get up; although it cannot be said that the whole society is peaceful, but the whole is indeed gradually getting better, Rodney King, o. j. The sensational cases of Simpson and Michael Jackson never reappeared. Therefore, people's attention to social issues is generally declining.

Now, Bill's counterattack can be regarded as the start of discussion for "L.A. Confidential".

Although society is gradually getting better, no one can deny that those stubborn problems have always existed, especially the corruption problem mentioned in the "L.A. Confidential". This is an eternal theme, as long as there are people. There will definitely be conflicts of interest, and corruption will inevitably arise. It is just a question of whether it is serious or not.

Therefore, the "Circular Bureau" view has aroused many people's approval, just like the "Das Kapital" said, as long as there are enough benefits, businessmen can even deny it. This point also applies to society, fame, interest, glory, and privacy. Desire always has the same weakness that can be broken through, which also makes the dark industry continue to develop.

However, people's views are generally not as pessimistic as Roger, and they have more expectations for the future of society, so Nicholas's bright interpretation of the movie's ending has been more recognized. Of course, the "L.A. Confidential" tells the story of the 1950s, which is very different then and now, and there is no possibility of direct reflection, which is also an important reference factor.

Even so, these lively discussions have attracted more people's interest~www.wuxiaspot.com~ Everyone is curious about the extent to which "L.A. Confidential" discusses social issues and whether it can reach the "seven deadly sins". How wonderful is the height? In particular, the "Chicago Sun" and "Los Angeles Times" both praised the full score, and they praised the meticulousness of the plot, which made those audiences who were not so interested in Hugo originally and those who hadn't planned to do this in September. The audience who walked in the cinema in the off-season, and those who originally had a hesitant attitude towards drama movies, all became curious.

More importantly, leaving aside the profound connotation of "L.A. Confidential", both the "Los Angeles Times" and the "Chicago Sun" believe that just as a movie, the viewability is unquestionable, especially the former. The phrase "the perfect combination of commercial film and art film" makes people eager to enter the cinema to enjoy it.

After the premiere of "L.A. Confidential" overnight, it undoubtedly became the focus of this week. Among the lively fans that night, not only Nicholas and Roger, but also the first batch of film critics. It was hotly released. Thirty-three media outlets contributed to film reviews at the first time. There was no surprise in the ending. They all gave praises and the overall score reached a high point of 93 points. The "New Yorker" was even more so. The sentence "Best Movie of the Year" serves as a footnote, witnessing the devastating trend of the first batch of film critics.

A typical Hugo-Lancaster movie, isn't it?
