Rewatched in 2021. Heat is the story of a clash of Titans: high performers, perfectionists & maniacs. The fact that one of them is a law-enforcer while the other specializes in high-stake heists is but a contingency, one that allows for a thrilling spectacle and a memorable showdown. The action and swelling tension are crucial, but it's much more than that: it's as if something deeply modern yet grand, far-reaching, perhaps mythical was happening before our eyes. The fleshing out of every character, main & minor alike, and the closure of their individual story highly contributes to this effect. Music also notably conveys a transcending & eerie atmosphere that haunts & immerses the viewer

期待值有点高了，还是挺一般的，的确很像新手导演的片子，每个段落之间也没必要非用黑场隔开吧。但我第一次知道寄养家庭和领养家庭的区别。流水落花，流水承载落花，落花凭借流水流向下一个地方。诚如导演所说，寄养的孩子是落花，天美姨也是落花，每一个人也可能是落花，时间如流水东逝。但是这个意象除了用于隐喻，用在开头和结尾的空镜，经常走过架在流水上的大桥外，好像和片子本身没什么关系。

和广告狂人一样虽然有时候会感到有些闷但从来不敢调戏进度条慢慢耐心刷完的酷冷高逼格神剧。虽然喜欢剧里所有的主角但是不会为谁谁领便当而难过。生死无常新陈代谢人事更迭，写实风格的好处把残酷无常的生活用上帝视角向观众透析展示。所有的剧情安排都显得那么的理所当然。

作为一个全新的综艺种类，有那么几集，惊艳到我了

此片名头太响，当年乃至之后的多少年都是惊世骇俗。现在来看，情色血腥暴力恶心等元素的冲击力已经减弱。剧情似乎没有逻辑，想如何就如何，也体现了这个人间地狱的无逻辑性。世界都一样啊，统治者固然残暴，被宰割者、弱者同样也会成为帮凶，去戕害另一些被宰割者和弱者。演员都拼，心理强大得一塌糊涂
