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.
电影不止于石头，我们也不是最后一代，亚细亚的孤儿们。
十分无聊，是另外一种想象的共同体，没有深刻family issue的人去猜想其他人的选择，你不能不主流，你不能不去拥抱孤独，你不能不去give a damn。我在要求的就是不快乐不在意不妥协的权力，而不要去选择这片子一样新奇的皮肤下腐烂发臭的圆满服从。天马行空的从来不是表现方式，而是想象内涵本身。
除了了解一点涉及多重宇宙的概念，特意在观影前屏蔽了一切可能的剧透，然而看完以后除了视效上晃得眼花以外，没感觉有多值得震撼的地方。要说多重宇宙，20年前李连杰和杰森斯坦森就有《The One》了，要说母女关系的和解那不如张艾嘉的《相亲相爱》，即使说移民两代的中西文化差异，都比不上奥卡菲娜的《别告诉她》。总之，在我看来，本片以最前沿的物理理论和最传统的中国武学讲述了一个乱七八糟、七拼八凑的母女和解的故事，或许只能说，在每一个可能的宇宙里，母亲和女儿都是相爱相杀的吧。
说真的，这部电影如果结束在石头那里，会要好很多。
泪流满面地看完了，想起已经很久没有联系的我妈。我们大约定格在了一个石头滚下山崖的那一刻，另一个石头选择没有去追，挺好的。
在天马行空的想象和炫目的剪辑包装下，东亚家庭内核把握得很精准，为杨紫琼开心。爸爸那句“如果有来生，我还是会选择跟你一起，报税、开洗衣店”很戳泪点，早期华人赴美做的也就是洗衣工这些劳力工种，涵盖华裔三代人（父亲、夫妻、女儿）面貌的全宇宙。
影片本身水准可以，想去电影院的完全可以看看，值回票价完全没问题。不过还是要说一下，有些人一口一个“把美国人当弱智”这种言论的，可以自个查查张桃芳的事迹，自己的主页拿《现代启示录》当十佳却容不下一部真人真事改编的战争片，真是搞笑到家了。
草我好喜欢！看完了才发现俩小时的电影我居然没开倍速我没开倍速啊朋友们。 you are here too. Just be a rock.
做哪吒不好吗？杀不了妈我杀自己还不行吗？和你妈解啊= =
看完获得了一个Joy式Nihilist reaction：整这么大一出，so what? Does is even matter? Destructive bagel and Nihilism的idea有多让我兴奋和期待，结尾无限复读的美式表白就有多让我下头和感到无趣。贝果中间的黑洞要靠爱和羁绊来填，that’s okay, but can we do it in a less American less cliche way since it’s a pretty Asian and supposedly pretty cool movie（
还是更喜欢“妈的多重宇宙”这个译名。在我看来，影片的风格是朋克儒家。主题是虚无主义和存在主义的对决。/搭配麦卡伦12年，之前享受每一秒，东亚家庭教育的点用劲儿上来，还是挺让人解嗨的。内容懂，但有点过于用力了。/看了几个直男影评人的言论，引起了我深深的思考：为什么这个世界上还有直女？？/《瑞士军刀男》证明了，两位丹尼尔真的很会用大明星。/movie connection: 2001太空漫游。
当我以为他是搞笑片的时候，他开始动脑子；在我以为他是动脑子片的时候，他又开始动感情。一切都显得毫无道理，却又非常有道理。Nothing matters.可真是太他妈有趣了我日。
俩哥们儿是真的很想拍漫威吧，女儿本质上就是一个灭霸，无非穿了一层亚裔的人皮，几个场景剪来剪去，其实就是把奇异博士的洞开在耳朵上了。中段真是无聊到爆炸，以至于结尾都能接受了。
“多情自古空余恨，好梦由来最易醒。”做一场盛大的白日梦吧，我脑海中闪过的每一个灿烂场景，居然能在这部电影里恰到好处地呈现出来。希望人到中年，还能拥抱爱。
强迫自己看到2/3后终于还是选择放弃，否则不是进入梦乡就是反胃呕吐。这部被各媒体疯狂推崇中国影迷年庆般期待的片子竟没有半点在我的兴奋点上。和两位导演之前的《瑞士军刀男》一样，从一开始就如同一口老白干搭配一口冷汉堡或是一碗牛肉面混进一份冰拿铁，挺独创的挺脑洞开的挺天马行空的但是完全不是我喜欢的味。所有演职人员均非中国籍拍出来的中国元素就是一个个纸老虎而已，充斥着西方的假大空和恶俗味。总归一句话，咱的审美造诣确实不够get这种牛掰片。
我的评价是不如皮克斯红色小熊猫。格局小了。。。
翻了下差评，还是能看到很多“美式鸡汤”“不中不洋”“杂糅ABC/美国家庭观”… 就很滑稽。Crazy Rich Asians、尚气上映时就特别反感这种角度的差评，这都2202年了，几千万的海外华裔、二代移民就不能有自己的文化、故事和生活方式么？就一定要和《喜宴》《推手》一样、全程聚焦在固守着传统价值观的一代移民或者父母在海外生活遇到的种种文化冲击和冲突，才配的上在大银幕上讲中国/亚洲文化？想到韩裔名厨David Chang在《美食不美 第一季》里谈食物的“正宗度”(authenticity)时说过，过分强调菜系正不正宗很容易把美食和特定的历史文化强行捆绑在一起，让后来人、圈外人都更难理解体味和欣赏，更不用说传承和发扬光大了。其实电影电视也是一样。
在脑洞的基础上，拥有动作喜剧的趣味性，又拥有家庭关系剖析，还在中间透露出文艺感的哲思。
这，这根本就是好莱坞版《你好李焕英》吧！不过杨紫琼的角色，更加去温情化，彻头彻尾的“恶魔母亲”：否定自己的人生，放弃改变的可能，沉溺幻想的虚无……子女的不同选择，就是对她人生的全面否定，是她最害怕面对的。电影将远远称不上叛逆无非是刺青和同性恋的女儿塑造成想象中的大反派，这思路和把小孩送去给杨永信电一电就能治好不听话也没两样吧，结局却依然顺拐地走向和解与大团圆，太可怕。
长谷川白纸这一代人的电影。杨紫琼敢接下这样的剧本太有魄力了，丈夫真的就是瘦身版的成龙。当然可以把本片总结成多元宇宙版的turing red，影迷就好好享受这部影片吧，就好像乐迷在2019年遇见长谷川白纸。
