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.
6｜这跟罗马完全是两个东西，没法比，也比不过。不太喜欢，太夸张了，设计太多就会丢掉真实感….
分了几次看完，受限于过于地缘化的时代背景，完全同kb共情诚然是不太可能，但结尾处关于流亡和放逐的阐释，在这个特殊的疫情时期，反而与现实达成了一种跨时空的呼应。btw，虽然立意对标罗马，kb也有意在视听方面大做文章，但画面质感还是太类型片。
但是，这种生活碎片采集式的手法确实导致整个影片哪里都涉及一点点但没有一处是深入讨论的。尤其是加上大量的插曲——大部分还是直接以bgm附着与故事之外的——更是冲淡了在那样的背景下应有的迷失感与压抑感。
7分，举重若轻。如果去除掉显而易见的破绽，六十岁的肯尼思·布拉纳在《贝尔法斯特》中给我们留下了什么。我看到男女在思维上的差别，从父母争执中显现了人为什么需要“家乡”，从Buddy拒绝离开中知道了曾经作为孩子失去了什么。死死抱住加酶洗衣粉的Buddy是儿童该有的样子，它要前去的是《月球环游记》的片场。贝尔法斯特是爱尔兰岛东北沿海拉干河港口，但它有另一个名字“家乡”。
For the ones who stayed. For the ones who left. And for all the ones who were lost. 确实看出很多《一一》的味道，动荡的年月里更加感慨。
小朋友可爱，但是电影匠气十足，看后越想越觉得难看
有选择本身就是一件幸福的事情，不知道为啥这句话会冒出来。
3.5/Go，don't look back. 小男孩表现不错。
说是糖水片应该再合适不过：光亮洁净的街景、温馨富足的室内、街角可控的肮脏混乱、高度局限的几个机位…但是这种愚蠢的乐观主义与复古预约的音乐相得益彰，让武装冲突如同发生在折叠图画书的某一页角落，墙壁和柏油路的粗砺质感被糖果包装盒的油亮光滑取代，所以苦心经营的历史性仇恨与悲怆瞬间变得滑稽不堪，只剩下惹人发笑戏言集合。
拜托不要一言不合就播歌，这是在拍电影不是在MV合辑。段与段之间显得非常割裂。
我相信肯尼斯布拉纳说的，他确实没看过《罗马》，不然也不至于把这个片子拍成个爱尔兰版的《岁月神偷》。但他的摄影肯定看过《罗马》，不止一遍。
谁说黑白没有好滤镜，这不就是光鲜亮丽的黑.肯尼斯指导的片子看一部骂一部啊.
肯导一直是这样的，才华不够硬熬造型，乡愁这个吧，如果说老塔是神，卡隆是传播福音，肯导这波啊，就是一个陈恳的信徒罢了吧。
记忆会为一个人选择他永远的故乡和家园。用黑白影像着意雕琢的时间质感和老工业国家平民阶层的鲜活淳朴气息，在本片中还算比较和谐地融合在一起，围绕是否离乡这一核心事件铺展推动的主线也流畅清晰，一些情绪抒发的细节场景呈现得相当动人，小男孩对爷爷说“我希望你和奶奶也在”的自然和真挚以及结尾落在奶奶面庞引发的无奈、理解和某种忏悔都独具力道，可跻身年度时刻。但视角的不统一和整体的浪漫化处理，也使影片的糖衣过厚，特别是结尾暴乱危机和爷爷纪念聚会两场重场戏的设计和呈现实在太过陈旧和想当然，有点自降其格。与[罗马]远不是一个量级也远不是一类电影，卡隆通过回忆记起了整个时代，而肯尼思·布拉纳则在回忆中与自己进行了和解。

黑白格调，有历史感的同时不失唯美，儿童视角，动乱冲突依然看到儿时的快乐和对故乡的留恋。似乎也就能想到这些，还有就是英式英语吧（大概）。7/10分
电影最后直接道破天机，故乡的童年回忆难道不就是关于离开的人留着的人和迷失的人吗？确实和罗马有异曲同工之妙，但基调显然没有那么克制，最为动人的几个镜头是一家人总是坐在一起看电影。所以我觉得无关技巧，导演只是想尽情地勾勒那段Your whole family haves you的回忆罢了。另外，片头的几场调度很迷人。
Kenneth Branagh‘s most personal masterpiece, shooting in gentle black-and-white, with sporadic bursts of glorious color. 音乐好棒。想起一位在Belfast长大的朋友，自带爱尔兰的酒精灵魂与地域自豪。语言塑造氛围，上一次听科林摩根的爱尔兰口音还是在《MERLín》的专访。No one has captured the conflicts in Ireland more eternally than WB Yeats: "All is changed, changed utterly;A terrible beauty is born".
不可，肯导的能力也就如此了，尽管私人情绪渲染够足够浓，但是太零碎太刻意的桥段铺垫让整部作品都欠缺了真诚感。老戏骨表现太好了，小演员有灵气。总的来说，比上（罗马、乔乔兔）不足，比下，也没有下让它比吧...给音乐加上一分。
《贝尔法斯特》是肯尼斯·布拉纳献给故乡、献给时光的一封深情款款的情书。在20世纪60年代末贝尔法斯特的动荡时期，有的人跨越大洋远走他乡，有的人眷恋乡情安土重迁，而影片中的小男孩，却只想守着喜欢的同班小女孩，哪管什么街头巷战，什么家庭危机。
