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.
戲劇節奏太好了，內容也很豐富，有溫情有恐懼有隔閡有反思，不同的人可以看到不同的東西。
我想在global pandemia面前这部剧的意义无需多言，在这个时间点放出官摄我哭到时代广场都有回声。
世界大同的感动，强烈地感觉到中国离普世价值越来越远了
超赞！谁能想到，我先是偶然听到了机长的独白歌被深深吸引了然后发现了这么好看好听的剧！
看完现场之后补标，为原卡女机长加一星。 / 近景少了很多舞台细节，但演员的表演更有感染力。片头和片尾都有一点感动。
挺煽情的，但不知道少了点什么总觉得不够打动人，可能是现在对于这种“对陌生人的慷慨和温情”已经充满了怀疑吧
作为音乐剧倒是没有给我印象特别深的歌曲（机长姐姐的Me and the sky好听！），剧情也比较一般，主要是当年的真实事件很令人感动。在灾难面前，人们确实没办法忍受一直看新闻，而是会想在自己有资源的时候互相帮助，这是不分种族性向甚至动物权益的（穆斯林在那之后确实备受影响）。
真人真事改编的歌剧，主题很棒，但是单就故事性来讲有些平淡了，令人并不内心激动，歌曲也就还好，分三次看完了，看得有点困
如果你渴求一个港湾
【2021Film55】来自远方（2021）。愿人类都能善待同类和其他的生命。⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
20年后的911，灾难带来的不仅是伤痛，还有那么多温暖人心的时刻。 me and the SKY我的人生女权曲目之一，太喜欢这个女机长的故事了。唯一遗憾的是2020另一场无情的灾难夺走了我进剧场看LIVE的机会，我恨呜呜呜
看的我眼泪直流。在灾难、不幸和苦难面前，善意超越了肤色、国界和语言。
What a year like same year!
音乐剧真的太有感染力了，每个演员的吐字都很清晰，声音都很有穿透力。最惊喜的是舞台的走位和场景转换，太有趣了，尤其是gay couple和new couple交叉站立相互对话那段太妙了。每首歌都超级棒！而且每个演员都一人饰多角，新角色虽然只是穿了个马甲就整个状态都不一样了，好厉害！群戏太牛了，感觉可以关注点放在每一个演员身上然后跟着每个人都看一遍。总之整个音乐剧就是超棒，很希望有机会可以去看现场版！
作为一个有些抗拒Musical的人难得喜欢上的作品，虽然非常美式正能量，但是群像叙事、舞台演绎和main theme实在加分很多，在这样的日子感动于一些人性的美好也不错
设计太好了，太巧妙了。圆形旋转舞台、冷暖灯光交替，一小群人演绎了两地许许多多的故事
能支持人坚持，继续下去的，一定是关怀，各方面都很优秀的一部作品
炉火永远热着水壶
看似很美式主旋律，但就是能够被这样人性的光辉所感动。
优秀！怎么做到的又感人又温暖又好笑又启发的。纽芬兰，真是一个好好的地方。
