Critics French Film Connection (1971) Roger Ebert

Как рисовать френч! Правильно! Быстро и красиво!



The French connection is always included, with Bullitt, Diva and the Raiders of the Lost Ark, on the short list of movies with the greatest chase scenes of all time What is not always remember this is a good film, it is out of the chase scene he presented a great start performance Gene Hackman, who won an Academy Award, and he also won Oscars for best picture, direction, screenplay and editing.
The film's other gift characters t emerge whole surface, movement, violence and suspense One of the characters really emerges in three dimensions Popeye Doyle Gene Hackman, a NARC New York who is vicious, obsessed and a little bit crazy because there's no time to do the emerging things happen too fast.
The story line of barely involves 32 million high-quality heroin trafficking smuggled from Marseille to New York, hidden in a Lincoln Continental A complicated case is set up between the French, a man of American money and mafia Doyle, a tough cop with a shaky reputation who busts many addicted street, needs a big win to keep his career together, he stumbles over heroin case and continues with a single-minded ferocity that is positively amoral, it is not after the smugglers because they're breaking the law; it is after them because his work consumes.
Director William Friedkin The French connection built as surely as he left the audience stunned and I do not mean that the cliché of a critic It is literally true in a sense, the entire film is a chase It opens with a shooting of a French policeman continental keeping under surveillance, and from there smugglers and judicial officers revolve around endless and sniff other, it is just that hunting speeds up sometimes, as in the sequence famous car train.
In Bullitt, two cars and two drivers were paired against each other disagree quite equal in Friedkin hunting, the cop must weave through city traffic at 70 mph to follow a train that has a clear track Chances are off balance sheet and when the train motorman died and the train without a driver, hunting is even spookier a man is compared to a machine that can not understand the risk or fear that makes more psychologically scary hunting, in addition to any what he has to visually him.



The film was shot during a cold and gray winter in New York, and it has condemned, gritty look at the scenery is a land of waste, and the characters are barely alive They move out of habit and stress, long after ordinary human feelings have lost the power to move Doyle himself is a bad cop, by ordinary standards; he harassed and brutalized people, it is racist, it endangers innocent during the hunting scene is an ego trip at high speed, but it survives It also wins, but the French connection barely account is as amoral as his hero, as violent, as obsessed and as scary.
The key to hunting is that it occurs in a regular time and place No rules are suspended; Popeye's car is running in the streets where ordinary traffic and pedestrians are, and despair is such that we believe, sometimes, it is able to run down spectators just to win the contest, I had the opportunity to Hawaii Film Festival in 1992 to analyze the sequence of a shot at a time, using a laserdisc stop action approach at a seminar honoring the work of cinematographer Owen Roizman He recalled how any hunting was laboriously story-boarded, and then broken down into shots that were possible and safe, even if the actual locations were employed lenses were chosen to play with distance, so that the car sometimes seemed closer to risks that this was essentially the hunt was look real because its parts were real son of a car by city streets, chasing a Elev Train ed.
The other key element in the film, of course, is Hackman It was already well known in 1971 after performances in films such as Bonnie and Clyde, Downhill Racer and I never sang for my father, but it is probably the French Connection that launched his long career as the main character sta r-- a man with the unique ability to make almost any plausible dialogue as Popeye Doyle, it generated almost scary one mind, a cold determination to win at all costs, who have raised the stakes in the story of a simple hunting cat and mouse police in acting out the pathology of Popeye hunting scene, in a way, was a mixed blessing, distracting other qualities of the film.
