Fernando Di Leo's "Milano Calibro 9" is an out-and-out masterpiece of Italian Crime cinema and, in my opinion, one of the most astonishing crime stories ever told. The first film in Di Leo's excellent 'Milieu' trilogy, "Milano Calibro 9" was followed by "La Mala Ordina" (aka. "Manhunt", also 1972) and the brilliant "Il Boss" (1973). The three films are not connected story-wise, but all three are excellent, and highly realistic portrayals of organized crime. As far as I am concerned "Manhunt" is (allthough excellent) slightly inferior to this one and "Il Boss" which both stand out as absolute all-time highlights of crime cinema. "Milano Calibro 9" is the best of them all, a film that is astonishing in all aspects, be it the ingenious plot that, apart from a compelling story and clever twists, includes social criticism, the performances, the gritty atmosphere and suspense or the brilliant score. I can hardly find the right words to express my admiration for this masterpiece which easily ranks among the greatest Gangster flicks ever brought to screen.
Gastone Moschin stars as Ugo Piazza, a tough and elliptical ex-convict who has just been released from prison. Immediately after his release, Ugo is approached by members of the Milan mob lead by the irascible gangster Rocco (Mario Adorf), as they suspect him to be responsible for the disappearance of a large sum of money belonging to their boss, an American (Lionel Stander) who controls the organized crime in Milan...
"Milano Calibro 9" is a film that delivers an astonishingly realistic mood of the underworld like hardly another. The intriguing storyline goes in hand with interesting characters, raw atmosphere, suspense and breathtaking action, social criticism and brutal violence. The film is simply stunning from the beginning to the end, which is even intensified by the brilliant score, a collaboration of the famous composer Luis Enríquez Bacalov and the Italian Progressive Rock band Osanna. Ugo Piazza must be one of the most charismatic gangster characters ever in cinema, and Gastone Moschin was the prefect choice for the role. Moschin delivers a brilliant performance, and the rest of the cast is also great. Mario Adorf is irascible like a rabid dog as the ferocious gangster Rocco, a role that fits him like a glove. The great Lionel Stander fits perfectly in his role of the American Mafia Don.
The two cop characters in the film are played by two of the greatest regulars of Italian genre-cinema, Luigi Pistilli and Frank Wolff (who committed suicide before the film was released). The ravishing Barbara Bouchet is astonishing and incredibly sexy in the role of Ugo Piazza's stripper girlfriend. Bouchet is both a stunning beauty and an excellent actress and this is doubtlessly one of her most memorable roles. This is also a political film and director Di Leo embedded a lot of social criticism about topics like corruption. This film simply has everything one can possibly desire in cinema. Films like "Milano Calibro 9" are the reason why I love cinema. This is an absolute masterpiece in all regards and, without exaggeration, one of the greatest Crime flicks ever made! The ingenious opening scene alone is more memorable than most films get in two hours.
纯剧本层面只能三星半，歌曲与现实的变换很有想法，但也没那么惊艳，是音乐剧与电影形式的巧妙交互
已经对这种中规中矩的传记片有些审美疲劳。疲惫又热情的加菲。
30岁时最好也最让人绝望的一句话就是：你很棒，继续加油。加菲的造型太像大山了
已经对这种中规中矩的传记片有些审美疲劳。疲惫又热情的加菲。
EP.1-5 《兄妹的羁绊》
对应TV剧22～26集，炭治郎进入鬼杀队总部。
普普通通。La La land的特点从来都不是故事。
没办法共情，让我在纽约睡地下室我也愿意。所以没办法为了剧作者自己的小确幸而感动。
创作者总是濒临绝望 像一台永动机的状态让人心疼
虽然是传记片但也把焦距Jonathan个人的视角扩大到所有的创作者的痛苦。swing and a miss, swing and a miss, till you hit.
Tick, Tick…Boom! 这个名字起得真好。乔纳森·拉森真赶稿狂人。要是少念几个「我马上就三十岁」就更好了。
叙事是片段式的，对于不了解传记片主人公的观众会觉得混乱。用音乐串起情绪效果很好。加菲的表演其实不够深入，演唱部分倒是卖力。
我有多喜欢rent和Hamilton，就有多不喜欢这个，前半段，前一大半，人物塑造看得我直皱眉头。最重要的是，作为讲音乐剧的音乐电影，它不好听啊！很不好听啊！！
天才早逝。一个热爱音乐剧、希望将其作为毕生事业的年轻人整日在经费不足、灵感难寻、好友挚爱愈发不理解的夹缝中生存，眼瞅即将跨过30岁大关，却还没有拿得出手的作品让世人铭记。当一切成为过往时，他可以用戏剧化的语言、歌曲去调侃，而那些所能展示出的纠结、痛苦恐怕已不及百分之一。作为百老汇与好莱坞炙手可热的当红炸子鸡，导演在片中埋了不少彩蛋，只可惜阅历不足，无法全面体验那份惊喜和感动。以及看起来有必要补一下《rent》了。
碎片剪辑叙事有些不连贯，但就如听音乐一般。梦想和现实、情感的碰擦在女友肩上的手指节奏上达到顶峰
很多即兴音乐段落很棒，甚至有几段相当天才。4星。
还是鸡皮疙瘩直起的~~虽然知道还是真人加持的魅力~~~音乐本身的魅力~~~不管怎样电影要拍要记录下这些~~~很重要~~
好像都完成了，但不好看。开头像歌舞片的大通货，中后段的故事又极为省略。倒数计时声串联起的多个时刻间的互文很流畅，加菲的几个唱段唱的不差。但加菲戏路还是太窄了，脆弱焦急都是可信的，但是舞蹈和音乐都不够潇洒，歌舞题材里加菲真的没有优势，太软糯了，演得好，可是不发光。主题和历史深度是高于【马戏之王】，但是从歌舞题材的歌舞表现，特别是男主表演精彩度、歌曲质量都远远弱于【马戏之王】。
对于没有时间看番剧的人，看这个精编版也蛮好的。
贫瘠地燃烧，燃烧到贫瘠。电影一般，内核动人，一流的故事、二流的剧本、三流的制作。很Beatnik，很社畜关怀，依靠free writing和improvising的创作完全解构世界的隐喻和意义、摆脱了象征秩序的压迫，叫嚣出最原始最纯粹的自我表达。我们为什么要玩火？当一败涂地的现实与热爱共存，人就获得了去挣扎去燃烧的所有动力。
