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.
音乐剧改编的确是太难了； 删减了原剧中的好几首歌，为了剧情牺牲了音乐性， 虽然看电影 故事情节的确会更清晰一些，但是缺少了原剧里面的情感张力， 埃文汉森可是单纯ost我都可以听哭的啊。
是一个好故事 但作为一部电影本身却无甚亮点
我真是不喜欢“the fall of the hero”这种故事结构，虽然这仿佛是最常见的故事结构，但大半部电影的时间就在紧张地等待这一刻的发生，体验感太差，这就是为什么我也不喜欢《寄生虫》。mental health这个主题我还是鼓励一下吧…
70/100。若不是话题选的好，很可能会拥有像《猫》一样不忍直视的成片：由音乐剧形式转化为电影形式的不可调和性使得本片让人一方面觉得感同身受，另一方面却又觉得做作尴尬，尤其是几处人物歌唱式的爆发，可能在舞台上的效果是很正确的，却在银幕上会变成无可挽回的灾难。不过幸而我们依然能在本片中看出对于青少年心理健康的关心，读出一种在颤颤巍巍中抓住希望的力量，悟出看似灰白色的生命中你可以通过拥抱周围而拥有的坚韧与执着。Ben Platt的表演更加深了这一点的呈现，可能他的年龄超标了，但是他的表演却是刚刚好的。 @2021-09-26 21:39:58
看完这个后我怒去刷了几遍模糊的现场版来平复心情。
这什么玩意儿...不骂了，不值得浪费口沫。不给一星是因为电影解决了我认为音乐剧里最大的问题——Cornor完完全全的失声。至少结尾Evan试着认识真实的Cornor，这点改动很喜欢。但其他就.......
剧情乌鸡鲅鱼，强行把音乐剧搬到银幕上好尴尬……
（确实是几乎每个角色都要到学校走廊唱一次……
em...Ben Platt的脸怎么看起来像是填充了啥...背景不能改改吗？一点都不高中生 而且感觉舞台版的表演对他影响太大了 表情收不住
有的画面电影确实比舞台上能表达的东西多，但有的部分就emmmmm，我最喜欢最期待的requiem和only us感觉妹妹唱得不太行，好失望啊，you will be found响起来还是忍不住流泪了😭，新get到了if I could tell her呜呜呜呜呜要是那是一次真正的告白那该多好
第一次知道ben platt，说实话我看不出他三十岁，少年感还是在的
他们边走路边唱歌为什么到了屏幕里就让我这么尴尬，我不行了
三年前看了在剧院音乐剧，当时写下“人类的悲欢并不相通，世界上没有真正的感同身受”。很遗憾，三年过后仍然是同样悲观的想法。康纳自杀引来的注意力只不过是各人为了自己的目的的编排，何其讽刺。没有人会被看到，没有人会被听到。——（分割线）——音乐剧版在舞台上对社交媒体和现代科技的表现手段是十分惊艳的，但在电影中就表现平平，明明有更多的自由和手段表现力却不如剧版，故事也没有讲好。
因为内在原因，DEH真是我最最能从个人角度去共鸣的音乐剧了，音乐的出色是它的灵魂，使得影版都无法割舍，甚至在这里，开头的Waving through a window有让我欣喜，For forever让我直接哭了出来，Requiem我从音乐剧喜欢到电影，而You will be found，是我永恒的软肋，一听就泣不成声。
熟悉的歌曲再次响起还是会破防😭但是镜头语言下一言不合就开唱的情景，在表达悲伤情绪时，就会容易不达意而让旁观者（尤其是没看过音乐剧版的）时而出戏。音乐剧现场版还是会比电影在歌曲情感渲染递进层面有明显优势的😕Dear Evan Hansen其实是一部歌曲本身比剧情本身更具感染力的作品。
还是得看舞台啊，电影节奏好怪。男主简直是Fred翻版🆘
剧情大部分时间挺好，但有时候又特别尴尬。主角长得有点看不像高中生。但最特别的是我本来是来看上汽，莫名看了这个
选角只满意Ben和Zoe妈妈🥲和音乐剧在同样的位置哭了，但影片还是有很尬的地方，只能说不忍苛责这个故事
因为是热门ip，导演一定会被束缚手脚。粉丝千呼万唤的名场面大神曲一个也不敢落下，到改编得太差了：视听语言极其枯燥乏味，根本没有发挥出电影这种媒介的特性；演员都是好演员，但表演也千篇一律，明显是导演没调对。这样改真的不如别改了，直接像Hamilton出官摄更好。
其实没有刻意的煽情，但我依然哭得泪流成河，是哭到眼泪把口罩淹没，走出电影院时一言不发的程度。电影尚且如此，不敢想象如果去年音乐剧巡演没有因为疫情取消的话（毕竟当时连downtown剧院装修都已经进入DEH模式了），我会在剧院哭成怎样一种无法言述的惨状。希望早日能进剧场痛痛快快再哭一次。
