The plot synopsis of "American Gangster";
"American Gangster" is adapted from the true story of Frank Lucas, the black American drug lord in the 1970s. Frank Lucas and detective Richie Robert, one good, one evil, move forward calmly on two leads. This is the story of how Frank Lucas used his intelligence and ruthlessness to rise from nobody to become the richest man in New York. Detective Richie Roberts spoke of the chaos in his private life when he sensed the weakness of the justice system and formed a "civilian squad" to crack down on drug dealers.
Black actor Denzel Hayes Washington plays the gangster, and white Russell Crowe plays the aboveboard policeman. The choice was obviously deliberate on the part of the production company. Although their identities are completely opposite, they have many similarities: courage and resourcefulness, adhering to principles and believing in the truth. The two have never had a head-to-head confrontation, but you can feel the tit-for-tat confrontation between the two sides. In the last ten minutes of the film, Li Qicai approached Frank through various clues. In the short time they met, there was no gunfight or meat-eating, and that kind of wise confrontation fully demonstrated their charm.

A drug lord who came from a poor background and is full of personal charm.
It is common for two men to share the stage, and one of them steals the other, not to mention the central character of the story and the most impressive villain. Compared to Russell Crowe, the calm, proud and intelligent Frank was favored by critics, calling him an Oscar favorite.

White
Ricky Roberts plays Russell Crowe.
Good police officers also have flaws.
Russell Crowe has experienced a downturn in his career, which has improved this year. First, not long ago, he played a cowboy in "The Battle of Yuma," which received good box office and critical reviews, and now "American Gangster" continues to cheer him on.
Character: A rare upright policeman at that time.
In the United States in the 1970s, police corruption was rampant. Richie is one of the few incorruptible detectives. When he saw that his most trusted companion was also bribed by the gang, he demanded justice, causing his companion to jump out of the car and was eventually killed by the gang.
Method: Integrating private forces to fight drug dealers
He has always insisted on the idea of ????fighting drug dealers. When he didn't know who the traitor was, entangling a group of "civilian forces" he thought he could trust seemed to be his only option. The advantage of using civilian power is not only that they understand black and white better, but also that it is not easy for gangs to find and win over people's hearts.
Disadvantages: poor self-control ability, chaotic private life.
Richie's home life is terrible. In addition to forgetting to sleep and eat because of the investigation, more importantly, he couldn't stand beauty and often cheated on her. There are not many plots showing his infidelity in the film, but there is one scene that explains it well: During the legal battle with his wife, he can whisper "There is a lounge upstairs" to the beautiful lawyer in court and give a hint. Ricky, no matter how good the policeman is, is not a perfect person. At least he is not a responsible husband and father.

A lone sailor came to Athol, a floating island, and traded a pot of soil for water and tomato seedlings. At that time, soil was an extremely precious thing. Just as he was about to leave, he had a conflict with the people on the island. The islanders discovered that he was a mutant with gills and webbed feet, and imprisoned him.
Just as the islanders were preparing to execute the sailors, Arthur was attacked by the pirate "Smoker". Helen and her adopted daughter Ilona failed to escape by grabbing Old Man Vig's balloon, so they rescued the navigator who was about to sink in the mud and asked him to take them away from Alsoau.
With their extraordinary wit and courage, the navigators rushed out of Alsos in that magical sailing ship and cleverly induced the heavy firepower of the "Smoker" to destroy their flagship. Dickon, the bandit leader, lost an eye and vowed revenge on the sea travelers.

But in the day and night sailing and the constant struggle with the "smokers", their relationship gradually became united and harmonious.
