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.
新冠疫情给当代人带来的各方面创伤实在是太大了，以至于每一部有影射含义的作品都无形中成为了这个后疫情时代风口上的印证书和安慰药
很老的套路，有很感人的桥段，已免疫，部分快进了……这家人太可爱太有爱了！这手语不知道的就以为是肢体动作太喜感了！
山下兰芽短浸溪
爸爸看着周遭听众的表情与之后的抚喉独唱，
Jesus我分明是看过的但是完全没有标记的印象，在温情和励志的家庭生活的背后其实是聋哑家庭生活困境的聚焦（非经济性的）
知道是美式鸡汤，但还是要喝，很有味道。人性中的美好如同女主纯真的美，是共通的。
虽理想化但还是一样动人，哪辈子才能体会过这么亲密的家庭关系啊
I will go where you lead,
不仅仅是聋哑家人对唯一健听者的依赖，也包括妹妹对家人的保护，如何放手大概是爱这件事里最难却也必须去做的事
而片子其实也“美国化”得到位，到位到几乎是奥斯卡标准参赛片。视听和情节上的一些小设计也足够聪明和抓住人(如音乐会上从父母角度出发“只见其人不闻歌声 只见鼓掌不闻喝彩”的设计，如父亲在卡车上触摸女儿喉部感受声带振动传递歌曲共振的设计)，并且还好知道克制没有乱煽情；作为影片重头戏的音乐 选曲也比较对。
哇真的好温暖啊，唱歌给爸爸听的时候，伯克利面试的时候，鼻子一酸，我的眼泪都要下来了。爱情的地方也很有感觉，那一点点青涩试探的感觉好甜。剧情中规中矩，是能想得到接下来的发展的那种剧情，但是演的极有感情，很温暖很美好。
家庭终于不再是青春片中的背景板了，无声处理那段很感人
最佳改编剧本奖：《健听女孩》，改编自2014年法国影片《贝利叶一家》。尽管故事的框架延续了原版影片，但细节上的改编，使得这个美国故事变得更臻于完美，比原作更符合现实，更耐看一些。原作《贝利叶一家》里，主角宝拉·贝利叶一家是一个农场主家庭，爸爸身为聋哑人还想着要去竞选本地市长，这个设定使得原本故事显得很荒诞，影片也因此被归为了喜剧片。
很温暖的片子，小镇风光不错，女主歌唱得真好。
工整且无趣，奥斯卡最佳就这小清新…… 最多3⭐。扣1⭐因品不配名，再扣1⭐为强行zzzq的奥斯卡道德奖。 除了颜值以外哪里🈶超越原片《贝利叶一家》啊？？？？尊重残疾人的残疾问题还需要拍电影来教么？网络让人退化至此？
2021.12.01，今天两次哭的稀里哗啦，为鹿道森的赴死，为电影传递的温情。果然，只有在最纯粹的光影里，才能看到世间最本真的善良和温柔。
今年目前为止我看过最感动的片子了，故事叙述平淡朴实，摄影扎实，用光讲究，让我泪目不止。
有才华的人，即使流放孤岛，也能衣食无忧、徒弟簇拥、妻儿绕膝，所以还是得多读书，读好书，会读书！
片子每个角落都写着“努力，努力，还他妈是努力”
