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.
好喜欢啊，一开场的30/90就抓住了我的心，因为我也刚好29岁，真的滴答滴答的声音一直在耳边响起，被时间被时间的观念所追着跑的感觉真的好强烈，每一幕都很流畅剧情和歌都配合的很好，对音乐剧多了一份好奇，是本年度最喜欢的电影之一。电影与音乐剧结合真的好好，加菲没想到这么能唱，能看出来为了角色准备了很多，演绎上我觉得是满分的答卷了。
明显不如爱乐之城，音乐和舞蹈不突出，除了凡妮莎其他演员也不吸引人，故事也不算流畅。
不熱衷音樂劇，也不關注百老匯，很多隱藏彩蛋get不到。當勵志故事看三星半。
这部电影没有全然采用那一套常规的“有志者事竟成”理论，相反，它指出了一个艺术家想要被认同是异常艰难的，他需要付出巨大代价，付出时间、金钱、爱情，最后还可能输给命运。电影对梦想的质问也充满哲学寓意：究竟是因为热爱，还是惧怕？我想这是一种习惯，更是一种不甘。“梦想”与“自由”听起来都是遥不可及的概念，但是你努力的每一天，可能都是走向成功日的倒数。
PS：喜欢里面那个头发剃的方方正正的黑人兄弟，唱的挺有感觉的。
针的滴答声贯穿全片，营造出一种无法挥散的焦虑和紧迫感，是年龄焦虑，是创作焦虑，人终有一死，我们应当用有限的时间做什么？
虽然不认识这人，但后面的音乐还挺有感觉的。
如果不是偶然接触到老师的“电影与世界六十年代”课程，我可能一辈子也不知道这部电影和这段历史。我无数次回想起2018年底开始看这堂课，进而偏执狂地搜寻有关老师的一切课程和演讲录像(感谢B站)，发表的文章，演讲稿和书，并开始艰难地阅读她那些澎湃的长句和其实有些艰涩的文章(长期阅读自媒体推文而自食恶果)，这期间我经历转岗，工作瓶颈，封锁，失业，可我仍时常觉得自己无比幸运。原来一大半友邻都跟我差不多嘛看完电影我也在想，这是导演第一次做电影，向一个陌生的领域进攻，花了很多的时间只为一个故事，就像Arikan教授二十年的钻研，总之这是一条充满人文温度的作品。
看完会发现，好像男主身上并没发生什么事，把一个作品交出去，等待被发现或者被埋没，自己并没有什么可以做的，剧情的很大一部分都靠身边人的故事在推动。
排练和声段落，每个白人中间都夹着一名少数族裔，格外整齐。太服气了，有劲儿吗？真的开始觉得美国片不如法国片好看了。
加菲绝对是联合国认定的阳光大男孩，感染力很强，能看出他用了一百二十分的情感在演绎。 “牢笼还是翅膀，去问飞鸟吧。是恐惧还是爱 ，别说出答案，行动远胜于言语。”这部电影是献给35岁的乔纳森最好的礼物。
无法接受歌这么难听的音乐电影。男主不真诚的演技看得我汗毛倒立。
【3.0】观影最大的障碍在于，这个传记片主人公的心路历程和生平事迹于我而言毫无吸引力，所以LMM给再多花哨的歌舞剧表演形式也是白费力气。
需要重新看一遍《lala land》洗一洗眼睛和耳朵。。。。
他英年早逝，并且他成功了，不然还是“往长远看”好一些吧，毕竟这种在做好年华绽放出最灿烂烟花的人，只属于那几百万分之一
天才总是孤独的。音乐剧的形式，确实不讨喜。。。
把本身的情节和Jon剖白式的独角戏交织，让叙事更加完整，也将属于舞台和电影的东西独立开来，使二者的存在与交融显得更加和谐，加菲的演绎也让其中那些创作者的挣扎与坚持，显得分外动人。
电影只在结尾提了一句RENT，甚至一首RENT的原声都没出现，但是从头到尾都是RENT的影子和故事，电影本身只值三星，但是因为RENT所以值五星，也正是这部电影，终于有那么点懂RENT了，传奇即传奇本身。
用音乐剧的方式拍了一个音乐剧人物创作音乐剧的过程，电影呈现出非常有层次感的叙事，刻意加快节奏，切换视角都很好营造出主人公的生活状态以及心境。影片不乏魅力与动人的瞬间，但整体并没有深入到我内心，无论是音乐部分还是传记部分。加菲演的无可挑剔，但又让我产生换作他人会不会更不同的念头，虽然奔着冲奥去的品质，在我这里没有很喜欢。
林聚聚还是专心写歌吧……演员和音乐情绪都很到位，但感觉更像是一部舞台剧而不是电影。为了加菲再多给一星。
