The French Connection

the train scene was too funny

The French Connection

Man merkt zwar, dass die Filme in den 70ern aus heutiger Sicht anschaulicher wurden, dieser aber nicht wirklich.
Die Dialoge sind super flach, die Charaktere sind eher belanglos und die Story hat man 5min nach dem Ende schon wieder vergessen.

Man, Gene Hackman was so cool. Every role he took on just feels so authentic and believable - such a convincing actor. I’m playing catch up on a few Best Picture winners, I knew The French Connection has been held to a pretty high regard over time - and now I hold it to that level too.

That whole tram/car chase sequence was nuts, I have no clue how they were able to pull it off convincingly with the equipment at the time. Easily one of the standout sequences in an already great movie.

I’d say a very with winner of the Best Picture accolade, looking forward to checking out the sequel, although I know that’s where it goes rogue an away from the true story.
