“I Can Nothing Other”: This is one of the two legends in the face of one of the most mythical in cinema

A highway at night. A small bar that was overwhelmed with users. Two cups of coffee. On one side of the table, Al Pacino. On the other hand, Robert de Niro.

One and the only face to face between two heat protagonists (except for their final clash), this sequence provides for the most legendary suspicion of cinema. Unexpected, impossible, almost unexpected, it interferes only hours and 30 minutes later.

• “30 seconds to watch hands”: 29 years, with Robert de Niro, no one noticed this detail in the heat

One face to face

Although police lieutenant Hannah and professional gangster Neil McCallie Michael Mann’s fiction in the first part of the film, the filmmaker eventually focuses on the face of the two characters.

Contrary to all expectations, the scene is not a chase or a shoot. By spinning, Hannah simply offers an opponent to accompany him with coffee. For 5 minutes, instead of exchanging firearms, two men exchange words.

This meeting, which has been imagined by brown knives, actually receives the melodies of the discussion between the two professionals. Two experts in their field, who eventually have much more common than differences. Obviously, they decided to go through diametrically opposite paths, but they borrowed the same passion.

“I am doing what I can do”

If Michael Man has decided to point out the break between Hannah and McCullah (the scene is exclusively in the field / coutterchamp, and the faces of Pacino and De Niro never appear in the same plan), it is his dialogues that it unites them.

“I’m doing what I know how to do it, I hit you. You’re doing what you can do.Mac -Kauli announced his enemy.

One, as the other realizes that they have been dedicated to their whole life, have been sacrificed “Normal Life”Forbidden “Attacking things that they could not be able to release in a 30 second show.”

“Same for me”

At the end of the interview, as soon as the coffee is completed, the observation is ultimately, and the two characters are more than ever in the same wavelength. Evidence is this unforgettable exchange:

– I can’t do anything else.

– It’s the same for me.

– And I don’t think I want it.

– It’s the same for me.

The challenge and respect, the threat, and the participation, all of this -remains the greatest moments of cinema today: the first is because it is a few of those who allowed the meeting between the two monsters that Al Pacino and Robert de Niroa, and then for the perfect final of his writing.

For years he has also inspired many other filmmakers. For example, if you are a fan of Caamelot, you undoubtedly point out that the dialogue between Arthur and Lanzelot (in the IV 78 episode of the book) is a direct tribute to the face of heat.
