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.
肯尼思布拉纳的导演才能属实有限，开头那混乱的调度，炫技是为了让观众头疼吗？视点过于散乱。但后面渐入佳境，情感还是加分的，布拉纳拍出了那种乡愁，尤其是跑路前的犹豫不决
越过岁月的墙，有关过去已经简化作黑白的片段，而让导演震撼并对他产生深远影响的画面却被童年的想象填补上色彩从未褪色。虽然是以暴动为背景，却在孩童的目光下简化并喜剧化了。剧作比《罗马》更轻盈和温暖，母亲形象的塑造贴合北爱尔兰人乐观外向的性格，并不存在用力过度之嫌，其余几个配角也都独具个性，懵懂的初恋和耄耋的爱情都让人感动。乡愁，就是有人离开，有人留下，有人逝去。
不同于此类电影大部分都会仅仅对过去年代的简单回味思念，电影从头到尾都贯穿着周遭的不稳定以及恐慌，其实是很真实的。有人选择离开有人选择留下，也有更多没有选择的权利，“爱尔兰人大多是移民的”听的让人感同身受而又bittersweet。（如果觉得这个电影“仅仅是从北爱去英格兰而已而很无病呻吟”的话建议可以看一下北爱近几十年的历史背景以及为什么很多人选择了离开）
和《罗马》相反，布拉纳是以一种温情的目光回望历史，回望那个安土重迁的故乡，在感伤之外裹一层幽默的糖衣，试图去治愈一切。异时空的彩色画面，出跳的西部片音乐，也给这个黑白故事附上一层反讽调子，可惜这些都是从外部去带节奏，和人物本身的关系不大，那些正面呈现的冲突打斗，华而不实的运镜，也是商业片拍多了的毛病。丹奇贡献了两个泪点，去不了的香格里拉，不要回头望的瞩望，两场戏都是不对称对话，将遗憾keep to herself，这才是含蓄的力量。
还不错～（不过其实我觉得正片不用黑白的画面用彩色的会不会更好？）…在时代面前，普通人就是一粒沙……小演员的演技很棒…很自然…小演员这个角色好幽默……小演员和爸爸最后关于爷爷的讨论我很喜欢…还有他在公交车上和奶奶讨论电影这部分我也很喜欢…两者都很有深刻的意义…（这部分我愿意多给一星）最后奶奶说，go，go now，don't look back…让我想起天堂电影院的爷爷叫toto走出去。 泪目！Belfast will still be here when you get back… For the ones who stayed，for the ones who left，for all the ones who were lost❤️ i miss belfast…
肯尼斯拿出了他的《阿玛柯德》 北爱尔兰问题 一场同一种族下不同信仰带来的问题 虽然现实却是那样残酷 但从一个小孩儿的视角拍摄出来 显得非常童趣与乐观 开场直接从现在的彩色转到了69年黑白的贝尔法斯特 （中途插入的彩色电影及戏剧效果拔群 分割开两个世界）当被爷爷问是否愿意离开时 他的回答充满着漫浪以及对贝尔法斯特未来的憧憬 电视上放着《双虎屠龙》贝尔法斯特则上演着手足相残 信仰问题贯穿电影 老中幼三代人对于信仰的看法也是大不相同 朱迪丹奇饰演的奶奶常常把上帝挂在嘴边 父亲则站在漩涡之中 小孩则被则开着天主教与新教的玩笑 配乐也是一大亮点 大量充满阳光且积极的配乐 代表小孩子的视角下 残酷现实离他们的距离还是很远的 缺点还是内核太散了 高潮的点推的实在太低了【VUE】
没事儿就配流行歌曲的电影都不大行 弄成黑白也没有高级几分 如果不是喜欢英国文化和旧时代 看这片得多煎熬
电影拍得不错。但就是一段个人的童年回忆，即使配乐美丽如斯，也无法共情。
No matter how far you go, you never forget where you came from.
。。。走or留。爱尔兰口音把ei发e是不是就够了
For all the ones who were lost.
平庸又浮躁。我们对一个混迹于漫威、迪士尼流水生产线的导演该有怎样的作者性的期待？它恐怕都不配被称作是对诸如《罗马》《南特的雅克•德米》等作品的东施效颦，因为我压根就没觉得“作者性”在电影中是被有所追求的目标。影像有着严肃的形式，却建立不起半点沉重的情境，人物说着幽默的台词，却干瘪造作毫不可爱，广角、仰角、升格、对称构图....这些技术堆砌在一起堆出了什么？自恋罢辽。
孩童视角的叙事，时代动荡，街区暴乱，家庭纷争，在大的阴暗混乱的背景之下，自取一丝小的温情回忆。与亲人的温暖相处，与同学的懵懂情谊，连同剧院里的色彩，共同构筑他的童年。不由得会联想到《罗马》，虽多一丝匠气，但依旧很喜欢。（2022.02.18）
主要是棚拍的天主教街区让我很困惑，我不知道该拿它当实验影响《狗镇》那样看待，还是就真他妈假布景一坨屎？
并不喜欢。自传体这种体裁，是很容易陷入回忆之中自嗨的，但是对没有相似文化背景或是情感经历的观众来说却很难共情，虽然演员的细腻演绎，或是摄影的精细考究或许可以加分，但是缺乏了某种可以穿透形式和语境可以直达人心的东西的话（比如《罗马》在这一点上就做得非常优秀），那么无论对于主创，还是对于观众来说，这种表达方式就是非常私人的，能get到自然会感动，不能的话要打高分实在太违心。
3.5/Go，don't look back. 小男孩表现不错。
除了爷爷告诉小男孩，会有新的生活，新的朋友，不会有人嘲笑你的口音那里，稍稍被感动到一些，其余部分都无聊到要睡着。能激起背井离乡之人心中的一点点涟漪，但还远远不够。
{★★☆} 这不是个轻松的决定：我相信Kenneth Branagh童年的图像，也相信他在镜头后忠于这份图像。但看完后数日，我脑内却难以回忆起几个这部致敬Branagh所成长街区的电影里，在那条街区上生活的被挤压、坚守或放弃的人们。就像孩子模糊的念想，贝尔法斯特变成了一个抽象的概念。有地标、有伤痕、有欢笑，却没有一个让他不舍离去的理由。
不是添加了黑白滤镜就是有年代的感觉，至少我看着这街道和布景实在太出戏了。
