Edith Hardy uses charity funds for Wall Street investments in hopes of buying some new gowns. She loses all the money and borrows from wealthy oriental Tori. When her husband gives her the amount she borrowed, Tori won't take it back, branding her shoulder with a Japanese sign of his ownership. She shoots him. Her husband takes the blame. In court Edith reveals all to an angry mob. Written by Ed Stephan {[email protected]}
Richard Hardy, a hardworking stockbroker, labors overtime to keep up with the ruinous bills incurred by his beautiful but irresponsible wife Edith, a venal, spoiled socialite who is impervious to his pleas for fiscal restraint. Acting on what she believes to be an insider information, she impulsively embezzles $10,000 from the Red Cross charity she chairs for a stock tip. When she finds the money has been lost, she desperately turns to a Japanese ivory trader with whom she has been thoughtlessly flirting and persuades him to replace the money in exchange for an assignation. When her husband's long-awaited business deal finally materializes, she desperately tries to withdraw from their agreement by replacing the money. Angered and disappointed with her resistance to his advances, he uses a branding device to mark her shoulder as his property. Feeling violated, Edith shoots him in the shoulder and leaves. In order to protect his wife's reputation, Richard confesses to the crime and faces trial for attempted murder. Written by Gabe Taverney ([email protected])
就像吹得牛逼的不行的黑帮老大，其实也就是个流氓小头目，一共就那么几个手下，别说朝阳区了，放浦东新区也分分钟被灭了。
这电影真是又臭又长，题材是不差的，就是节奏拉胯，没有高潮点。
不懂就不懂，毕竟这就是人生
m2271：走过山的人会懂！失去过亲人的人会懂！小故事。
浪费了饼哥风pon
内核似《涉足荒野》，通过户外的经历走出人生的阴霾，通过拯救别人而拯救自己。故事简单了些，但也非常真实了（山里的事情本也没那么多drama）。配乐极其吝啬，唯有风雪之声不绝于耳，那种只身山林的孤独和绝望，经历过的人都懂。
没看过原剧，但就这部电影来说，我觉得还是不错啊。把当时当地的黑帮说得不错
电影的叙述线主要有两条，一条是小说家津田在一家酒吧做酒保，于是这个酒吧就自然地成为了他与编辑见面的场所，他请编辑在这里阅读自己新写的小说，探讨剧情，在这个过程中编辑越来越觉得他写的内容并非虚构，而是真事，为了不给出版社带来麻烦而不得已到现实中进行印证，毕竟这个作家有“前科”，因为上一部小说里面使用了真名真事而让出版社吃了官司。另一条线则是伴随着叙述而将小说中的故事逐渐展现出来。
我的天啊。。。。前面一个多小时，我强迫自己断断续续看了3次才熬过去，后面自从小说家去了高什么寺那里就开始好看了，前面一大堆废话。。。。。仓田大佬一出场故事瞬间就开始有味道了。。。。前面真心太无聊了。莫非是为了凑时长？其实完全可以拍的再紧凑一点啊。。。。。
看的糊里糊涂!云里雾里!前一个小时完全没看明白!后面揭秘了，才算搞明白!有点类似于刺杀小说家吧！不过故意做的很混淆。本来是冲着土屋太凤去看的。没想到她基本就类似于比客串多几分钟戏而已!
这种电影，问题是一开头观众就知道他要演什么，包括会遇到什么困难，心灵的救赎，大自然的壮丽景观等等。就算导演把所有这些都呈现出来了，看完以后也就觉得平常，没什么惊喜，除非你有极强的超展开。
不覺得坐了兩小時。兩個小時沒有說明什麼關鍵的事，但刻畫了不少細微的來龍去脈，為甚麼每個人變成了每個人
前方的叙事确实有些拖沓，但是并没有很难理解，最后串起来的时候也很舒适。
白男糟粕回魂，如此“白男”式的电影中还单独插入了一条和主体剧情毫无关系的黑人线，貌似是暗示黑人崛起白人没落，实则整部电影传递出的思想十分糟粕封建、白人至上、男权至上、歌颂丑陋。
前一小时的自救互救还是挺有氛围感的，收尾暗淡
片子节奏前后不协调。it only takes one person to change someone’s life。我也好想做个护林员啊。。。不要轻生。。。痛苦总会过去。。。
典型的黑帮题材，揭露游走在灰色地带的悲剧与宿命，人物形象模糊，叙事不分轻重，观感一般。
刷完6季黑道家族再来看前传，只能说是情怀了，Uncle Jonior一点搞笑情节都没有，Tony的儿子还真是一个模子刻出来的，最后的音乐绝了，总之是情怀大于剧情的电影，终究扣题了T母说的，He is a Saint

没看过黑道往事冒然去看这部电影简直是煎熬。不是片子的问题，是我的问题。文化差异太大不了解那段历史，只会感到又长又无聊。
