感谢甜蜜字幕组的翻译!影片始终围绕着工会来展开,对于为了盈利的商人与黑道勾结,在人物的挖掘力度上做的尚佳,李科布这个角色其实还是挺适合他来演的,我们都见过在十二怒汉里与亨利方达剑拔弩张的那个李科布,在此片中同样出现了,一个顽固派的后知觉醒,个人感觉这片对90年代的港片有影响。
黑色电影里的工运,很有现实主义味道,李科布演技实力派
相比口碑电影码头风云,我更喜欢冲突衔接直白的本片,里面的黑帮也比较狠啊~
片中的两位美女居然没有一个是和男主产生感情的,好了,看片的收获是又get到了一个新的帅哥Kerwin Matthews,他和Lee J. Cobb的父子戏也演得很好,尤其是Cobb看清真相后毅然决然地支持儿子,那种“撸起袖子就是干”的状态突然让人觉得很燃了,父子齐心协力打倒恶势力的感觉很棒,而工会和黑帮的博弈有点现实主义的味道,可以看出来资本家在这场争取工人权益地位的斗争中扮演着一个怎样的角色,他们可能是被黑帮所利用的对象。电影并没有猛烈抨击资本家的行为,而是把矛盾转移到了传统犯罪片的黑社会,一定程度上淡化了阶级斗争的事实,导演并不想把它拍成政治片。
