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.
❤️有几个瞬间快落泪了，最近才看了《青春变形记》探讨母女关系，哭得我不行。这部也是很多母女亲情的泪点，但是代入的是妈妈的视角，作为移民也更能共情杨紫琼的角色。看得我更不想生孩子了🥲生了还要经历她的青春期
概念挺好，呈现方式无法接受、不可理喻。 开头五分钟就想退出，实在很难相信这玩意儿真的拍成了一部电影，真的能被叫做电影，我还看完了，1.5倍速。 搞个十来分钟的短片玩玩就算了，好浪费时间，不如刷一集爱死机。 ps.还是要重复看完尚气之后的感想：再看老外对中华文化的尴尬意淫我就是傻逼。
两个小时的视听煎熬，毒瘾致幻般花里胡哨，地铁老人样莫名其妙，喜看豆瓣大师们津津乐道
像是导演编剧集体抽完大麻后整出来的一堆自以为很有想象力的东西，太混乱了，看得人很累，不喜欢低俗梗，讨厌刻板印象，厌倦了用爱感化世界的俗套结尾，get不到
白人眼里最完美的和解：认清你是垃圾我也是垃圾我们祖上三代都是垃圾人类更是垃圾，只能在一次次的失败里反复沉沦，被小小的煽情打动后继续怀揣随时可能破灭的希望过狗屎一样的生活。但东亚亲缘关系远比电影里那些花里胡哨的穿梭要复杂得多，套用元宇宙概念只是诞生了新时代的流量密码。
第一次在电影院看到那么多的白人观影华人题材的movie
如果停在石头被推下去能有多好。其实作为和解题材这部已经做到很好了，但，但我们实在是看了太多太多和解了。
好像近年都有一两部处理类似议题的中外华语片对照，19 年是《慕一伟》和《别告诉她》，21 年是《宇宙探索编辑部》和《瞬息全宇宙》。剧本用高概念包裹一个极其坚固的情感点，由此延伸爆发出充沛的想象力，好莱坞在此基础上用工业水平展现出全面碾压的势态。
这是Rick & Morty的华人家庭版？只是核心观念和故事的内在逻辑仍是很平庸的。所以最后拖出＂天马行空＂四个大字时忍不住笑出来了。
A grand magnificent beautiful chaos, which leads to the destination of endless and unbreakable love. 想起我妈曾跟我说：“怎么办呢，我就想跟你在一起。”整个人哭成了傻逼。
她可以去任何地方做任何事成为任何人，但是她选择了做你的妈妈。也许这是最浅层的立意但这是电影最打动我的点。与往常的恐婚恐育宣传片不一样，没有你的人生多么丰富多彩多么成功总归是没有你了。
为什么融两个三个梗就是抄袭，融一百个梗就能成为wildly original modern masterpiece？不理解
亚洲家庭与代际隔阂所造成的痛苦够华裔导演拍几十年了
pps：小概率无厘头随机事件可以引发宇宙精神穿越，绝了。
看得我好累……许多陈旧的、使用过度以至于廉价的要素堆叠，熬成了一锅大杂烩。这五分钟负责华裔生活，这两分钟负责报税勾起美国人情节，这两分钟负责交代多元宇宙设定，这三分钟负责讲亲子关系，这两分钟负责讲大尺度段子（买票进场怎么没人查我ID？），这三分钟负责《瑞克和莫蒂》式多元宇宙串台脑洞。剧情/科幻/无厘头/华裔/亲情/爱情/大尺度从四面八方，各加猛料，洒了两个小时鸡血，让人在电影院里觉得格外疲惫漫长。情节一路狂奔向多方和解大团圆，妈和女儿从来没有互相伤害的意愿，真是恭喜发财。只有石头的部分，能令人眼前一亮。
过于花哨的噱头、过于密集的信息量，以及让人眼花缭乱的镜头切换，让观众很难接受它所表达的思想内核——家庭关系处理？个体存在的意义？无所谓了，这就是一部长达90分钟的头脑风暴，免费让你的大脑体验坐在电椅上的感觉。
【A-】大半夜看到痛哭，what a beautiful chaos，感官和设定上的想象力已经很惊艳，更重要的是我太喜欢这个主题表达了，这是对“爱”曾感到绝望，陷入极度虚无主义式孤独的人才能写出的剧本。“爱赋予无意义的人生意义”这个哲学表达并不新颖也称不上高深，但能拍的这么动人且有趣味，真的值得我的一切夸奖。一部充满了希望，美好，力量的电影。我好嫉妒丹·关呐！
10.美国越来越拉了，以前移民，追美国梦！现在…不移民，祖父悖论闺女就没了
看看隔壁Morbius, Lost City, Uncharted之流，票房扑街的背后是灵感的枯竭。这几年好莱坞热衷于拥抱各种主义、各种套路、各种公式，已经逐渐被反噬。很久没有在大荧幕上看到这种喷薄而出的创意和天马行空了。把东方元素演绎的又丝毫不做作，把简单内核描绘的丝毫不刻意。如果今年能有比这更好的片子，那该是得有多好。
把所有的调料都塞到一个锅里然后没有开火的味道。
