  It's cool when a bunch of geniuses at the height of their powers all converge on one single perfect project.

  That moment when DeNiro realizes he has to go after Waingro. He's not a romantic hero, he's a small-minded man of violence driven not by ideals or esoteric codes but by the basest of human urges.

  That moment when Pacino practically dances down the hospital stairs, gleefully fleeing his family for the sake of the chase, freed from the pretense of normalcy, from the obligation to care about anyone else.

  The tragedy and joy of learning that you cannot escape your fate, that you cannot be anything other than what you are.

  Other Mann films are more romantic: the heroes of Mohicans and Blackhat see everything around them destroyed and disappear into the wilderness, but together. Miami Vice fuses the romantic and the tragic: the lovers are kept apart, but by the nature of their world, not by choice.

  for the first couple times i saw this film back in 2015, i considered natalie portman's character of lauren to be fairly superfluous, a melodramatic deviation in this epic story of male egos.

  i don't think that anymore, because my little sister died tonight, doing the same exact thing that portman's character did.

  for the last year or so i couldn't help but see my sister in this lauren character. when we see her in the film, she's panicking over seemingly minor things like being late to seeing her dad or the color of her barrettes. but i understood at that point that she was a deeply unstable child, the same way as my sister. that kind of sudden onset…

  100/100

  A cinema of gestures, large and small, elongated and fleeting, carried through the whispering winds of an epic. Just observe the way Neil moves over near Eady after introducing himself, or how Charlene signals Chris about the sting by swiping her hand against the sharp metallic railing. Watch as Hanna picks up his dying stepdaughter with the utmost fragility, innocence lost and drowned by blood. See Neil's gentle plea towards Eady as she runs away from LA's shimmering atmosphere, the modern smog and neon colliding amongst the cosmos, his plan lost without her presence, her eyes, her beauty. Stare - mouth agape - as a police squad and a gang of bank robbers wage war on the asphalt, wounded…

  EXT. THE SET OF HEAT

  DeNiro: Hey Hank Azaria, c'mere.
  Azaria: What's up?
  DeNiro: You do voices for The Simpsons, right?
  Azaria: Yeah.
  Pacino: Can you do Bart Simpson's voice?
  Hank Azaria: Oh, I don't do Bart Simpson
  DeNiro: We know
  Pacino: CAN you do it
  [long pause]
  Azaria (meekly): ...Don't have a cow man
  Pacino: That's not BART!
  DeNiro: Get the fuck out of here. C’mon
