I really liked this film. i mean, hands down, it is really good.
Just like what henry was trying to explain in the film, we as the audience, side and root for the bad guy. (he was talking about jimmy by the way.) but regardless, yes, i did want the "bad guys" to win and conquer every situation that was thrown at them, but a part of me wanted henry out of it.i felt like henry didn't deserve a lot of the consequences and bad situations that he got sucked into.
One character, the only character, i didn't like was tommy. he was too cocky and a lot of his decisions doesn't seem justified, just like what was said in class. his ego was too large. i did not like his character.
What I really liked was the scenes near the end of the film revolving around henry and cocaine. Throughout those scenes, I thought he was just hallucinating the whole "helicopter" thing. That surprised me. i laughed really hard, in my head of course, when the police were there. i was wrong. henry was not hallucinating. haha

another thing that really got to me was that there wasn't a lot of story explaining what was going on between henry and all of those women and his reconcile with his wife. i'm glad that they stayed together to the end, still loving each other, but i would've wanted more to be seen in the film about the "re-strengthening" of their relationship.
ReplyDeleteYes, the gangster element of this film was both met and done well. the side romance could have been better i think. personally, i wasn't sure they truly loved each other in those last scenes if it wasn't for their sobs of love and torment after henry gets out of jail. their love was genuine. i loved that. i cried with them.
I think we're supposed to wonder about that, Royce.
