ok..today im going to intro another great film—>>> HEAT(1995)
Michael Mann’s film, Heat is obviously a film with star system. It is a story about the policeman and the thief, the hunters and their prey. Neil and his professional criminal crew hunt to get big money targets and hunted by Captain Vincent Hanna and his team of cops in the Robbery/Homicide police division. Neil and Vincent are similar in many ways, including their troubled personal lives. Simple story but somehow the two main characters, Al Pacino and Robert De Niro make it unusual.
Perhaps the most unique feature of this movie is its diverse storyline, which focuses primarily on the main characters, Vincent Hanna and Neil McCauley. In addition, the characters in this movie certainly make it so successful. Because of this complex storyline, it almost seems like if we are watching two movies, with one about each of the two characters. While following Hanna’s personal life, the movie shows how it is about more than just a cop in hunt of a criminal. Hanna’s marriage is worsening, his step daughter is commit suicide and his wife Justine is having affairs with other man. He is a man who failed as a husband and a father. Hanna’s story is that of the desire of trying to fulfill both his professional and personal, but somehow, the professional wins out.
“Never have anything in your life you can’t walk out on in thirty seconds" is the motto of expert thief Neil McCauley. He can be on the one hand a cruel robber and cold-hearted killer, on the other a warm friend and tender lover. McCauley’s human side shows in the film. He will not kill unless he must, as seen through his anger at Waingro and bank heist. His warmer side shows through his relationships with his friends and girlfriend Eady, his girlfriend who does not know anything about him. If to say that these two major storylines are the only strong ones of the movie would be hesitation to the many others but to say that they are the strength of the movie, to say that they are responsible for transforming a typical cops-and-robbers story to the unusual one sure nobody will question about these statement
Additionally other strong characters like Val Kilmer, as Chris Shiherlis a hot temper and compulsive gamble while his wife Ashley Judd is an unforgettable Charlene Shiherlis, who is only play a smaller roll, makes a lasting impression on the film. Before the ending of the film, there is a scene showing his wife giving the signal and hinting him to leave the hotel. Obviously all the sad facial expression showing that they will both won’t see each other again. Tom Sizemore, as the cold-hearted Michael Cheritto, and Jon Voight, as a bad-tempered Nate, are both likeable and despicable. These is the film which is full of big names, it is really worth to see everyone come together to act in the characters with each of one having their own specialties.
As a conclution, this is the film with great dialogue, great casting, awesome action scenes, and a great music soundtrack. It contains all of the aspects of a classical "cops adn robbers" style movie, but it has a more complex plot that question some of the original values of the classical. Heat doesn’t make a clear-cut difference between who is good and who is bad but leave you the space to think about the real world outside.
PS:Oh ya, thru this film, you will feel more or less like the current hong Kong’s movie–"mou gan dou", wondering maybe the director of "mou gan dou" watch this film before=.=..HAHAHA..
