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.
既然选择圣诞夜放送已经说明基调了——大家杯觥交错然后看一眼屏幕感叹“哦，这部里竟然还有他出演啊”“这是谁，名字想不起来了”“他现在怎么长这样了”然后继续回到自己话题的氛围电影
卧槽原来世界的AV化就是今天的现实主义 政府是一回事 媒体是一回事 娱乐是一回事 个体感受也是一回事 但相同之处就是AV化 忘了还曾经有第七封印启示录这回事 即使在头上也当做奇观 最搞的是 这个过程中连批判者本人也AV化了
相当于内地的春节档合家欢，同样热闹，同样尴尬，同样卡司齐聚。区别是北美老百姓喜闻乐见的题材是政治闹剧。片尾双彩蛋
累，玩这个还得英国人，比《通灵人士》可都差远了
就还行吧，前面展开得不错，很浅显的讽刺笑果也不错，中后段就有点温吞，再把时长缩半小时会更好，这群破人类早该灭绝了就不要再拖延这半小时了吧！
讽刺得毫不掩饰，荒诞中带着悲凉。光看这么强大的卡司阵容已经值了，何况还白嫖了一场A妹的演唱会。最后末日前的狂欢如果再极致一点就好了。
看一半我就迫不及待彗星快点撞吧，怎么还不撞，这些人类太恶心了……
本来是为了捧白左踩红脖子，捧民主党踩共和党，不过结合现实中的美国新冠疫情表现，感觉四个都能感受到冒犯，难怪口碑分化了。
真的一点都笑不出来，看完只觉得世界毁灭未尝不是一件好事
讽刺意味极强，简直是美丽国的照妖镜，导演也是太敢写敢拍了！
浑身都是笑点，浑身都是现实，最具有现实意义的一点就是，走到终点那一刻，世界亦然停止，一切变黑，失去时间、空间的概念，没有意识，进入永恒的状态。
政客、资本家、媒体、民众……自私、贪婪、愚蠢、盲目……毁灭吧，赶紧的。
6.0/10。观看体验并不愉快，不是影片造成的，是它映射了太多我们在现实中正经历的磨难，与此同时却又完全不留存一丝希望。它述说的苦难离我们太近，它给予的光芒又几乎没有。彗星撞地球以及更多具有灾难片标签的电影一直以来都在以其幻想——人类战胜自然——满足人类内心超越平凡的欲望。不过现在电影的造梦属性停止了，被Meta、政治和这个疫情折磨得精疲力尽的人们终于能在这里平静地迎接世界末日的到来了。这种意义上来说，电影里的人们是幸福的，至少他们不必再煎熬地存活于世了。技术上说，这部电影还是太美国了。高情商的说法是它找准了自己的主要受众群体美国观众，低情商的表述就是政治游戏和科技生活局限了美国电影对更广阔世界的审视也限制了其对更宏大问题的思考。不过想点好的，人类依旧能戏谑自己，也就意味着灵魂依旧没有消逝。
4.5视频巨头网飞联合身价上亿的明星卡司奉献了一部讽刺当下流量为王、理性让位时代的电影，这本身就挺讽刺的，观众得以又一次见证地球的毁灭，这次是如此地诗意和感人，富豪和政客们的诺亚方舟遨游在后人类时代的太空，而代表着人类文明的流行文化、金融帝国、时尚奢品、智能科技，统统成为了分飞湮灭的灰烬，在互联网社交媒体时代，每个人似乎都是上帝，“原谅人类的自大”，我们群情激昂地制造着分裂，对不符合预料的现实视而不见，光鲜亮丽地在镜头和网络后面粉饰太平，疫情时代的世界也让我们更加感同身受电影中的那些夸张和幽默，它们从来没有如此让人深有体会过，当资本、权力与贪婪的欲望结合，人性的真实总是不会改变的，只不过它们披上了正确、正义的壳，地球终于毁灭了，最后活下来的还是富翁与小丑，人类的未来就是他们了，多么光明的结局
客观上不是多优秀的电影。但它在情绪上很微妙地展现了那种大家看似共享同一片对世界的认知，对话却完全处在不同的平行时空的他人即地狱的感觉；那种在逻辑上可以理解但情感上完全没法想象的鸡同鸭讲；那种夹杂着疲惫感和愤怒的对世界的陌生；以及惊呆于在这种该死的状况下还能摇摇晃晃运转的生活
吹哨人小李子和吹哨人大表姐的经历令人唏嘘，和平惯了的人们用戏谑的方式面对大型灾难，资本家眼里永远只有一样东西，政治随着资本发射或掉头，最后全世界只剩一个妈宝男人类。后疫情时代的反思，片名《不要抬头》可以“翻译”成《不要戴口罩》。起码国内还是会严肃对待，然而细菌的力量并不比彗星小，多活几百年是几百年。 看小李子再也不能带着当初舔颜的心情。幸好又有了甜茶，江山代有美人出。梅姨演总统太适合不过，那气质~那声线~大表姐的造型被吐槽龙纹身的女孩笑死。
一个 Matrix Resurrections 可怜至极 一个 Don't Look Up 可笑至极 如果你非要做成廉价综艺 那么你所有的讽刺就完全是无能闹剧 软烂口水 且内里核心又是首鼠两端的行为
被letterboxd上整页整页的高亮差评吓到。但均分3.2，其实还好，只是似乎不喜欢的人集体声音比较大。看了下批评意见主要是过于smug，condescending，并不能真正改变任何人的看法。这个也许是的，但电影这个东西就没有那么重要，意识形态批评当然可以做，评论家就靠这个吃饭呢，但把电影的所有讨论都拉升到activism层面来争论不休我感觉也有问题的。要批评的话当然是影片自省不够，结尾特别pat on the back地说“我们尽力做了一切了吧？”寻求认可，但更难去思考的确实是，left在整个过程中哪里没能做好导致了这个局面。这个反思是缺席的。但again，仅仅拍出有反思己方的电影（为所应为，悲惨世界，开战，破败工厂）也仍然不会改变世界，电影没那么重要。以及网飞的7500万巨资与明星云集不能代表作者就没有self aware影片内外的meta互文吧？恐怕恰恰相反吧
这部电影还是提出了一个问题：
又见甜茶，大表姐好久不见。反讽既直白又粗暴，但也正是《不要抬头》最好笑的地方。 / 2022.1.7 家
