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.
我的睡前爱情幻想小故事里比较经常出现的一种。当然也要是BE，这样的爱情就只能走到那里，想要再升华一步只有BE一种方式。
《与友邻恋爱的五年》。恋爱分手都好甜，文艺青年就是很可爱啊。跟着哭了好久，除了被一些没什么特别的相似处触动之外，主要就是想哭，找个由头罢了。很多桥段都很刻意，倒也符合文艺青年的调性。想养猫，想玩塞尔达，嘿嘿。
(始终无法get菅田将晖 肖申克的救赎也是同样)
叙事轻快又流畅，恋情甜美而现实，“我和豆友恋爱了”日本版！
即便是当初百分之百合拍的两个人 在岁月 社会 工作 生活的冲击下 也很难像过去那样的同频 相似的人总是容易相爱 却不能完整的一起走完一生 这是我最遗憾的
朋友们！去做人！不要做符号！
“大豆”和这个同步看，发现内心絮絮叨叨的阪元裕二的戏可真费镜头啊！细腻和温柔得不像这个时代的日本，也更不像现在的日本年轻人，总觉得差着辈儿。 阪元裕二的东西形式感太强了，强到……他想要达到的自然和真实都变假了。演员的表演和造型再优秀也消弭不掉他本人的存在感，就像伍迪艾伦。（以及，伍迪艾伦写纽约的年轻人也写不对了）/红绿灯前的那个牵手和接吻超级有感觉～
苏打演技真好
我想起了鲸鱼的朋友们，那些在地下室看寺山修司、莫里斯皮亚拉，还有考里斯马基的下午。
花开花谢花无悔，缘来缘去缘如水。兴趣爱好的合拍远不如人生阶段的合拍来得重要。何苦抱着枯树过一生，从而磨灭了当初花开时的美好。P.S.坂元为什么这么喜欢写分手和离婚，可不可以乐观一点。P.P.S.「別れる男に、花の名を一つは教えておきなさい。花は毎年必ず咲きます（请教给分手的他一种花的名字。每一年花都必将开放）。」这句话最初出自川端康成的小说，后来有川浩也引用过。不知道是不是博客里那句话的出处。
两人都努力仍然不会走到最后
我们看一样的演出，读一样的作家，穿一样的鞋子，脱口而出同样的话，而随着自己能感受到的时间流逝，我们吃不一样的晚饭，逛不一样的货架，做不一样的工作，脱口而出不一样的话。我们不能试图拥有爱情，我们只能感受它。
坂元裕二依旧高水准
最后
本人悟出的道理：上班为资本卖命千万不能太真情实感，无论如何也一定要抽出时间看漫画看电影打游戏啊！
让我想起《和莎莫的500天》的甜蜜到现实，结尾对标山崎贤人的《剧场》的通透感，卡司有点串台到《短剧开始啦》。
如花束般美好，如花束般短暂。
这部电影讨论的是工作对人的异化，工作啊，真是一件可怕的东西。另外宅男宅女的用户画像还真是单调啊，我也喜欢押井守，我也喜欢黄金神威，看到这个世界上满是跟我一样的人，一点也高兴不起来
结尾哭得不行了。隔壁少男少女就像是他们的曾经。分手后三个月像最好的朋友那样相处。彻底分开后还会想对方看了什么书会有怎样的想法。细节都好真实，押井守真人出演押井守，就连《宝石之国》《黄金神威》等等都对上了，太戳我了。两个O型只要没有金钱压力，就特别好，但是如果有金钱上的担忧就是不适合走入婚姻。
我们都应该有一次花束般的恋爱，也许时间会让爱情过了保质期，但有一段感情却永远珍藏在彼此的心中，只要不是遗憾，那就全是美好。
