French connection


The French Connection is a 1971 American criminal thriller. This is famous for chasing iconic cars and tense action scenes. This follows the exploitation of two New York city narcotics detectives who work in the shadows of international heroin dealers. While the film never brought Jean Jehan to court, it was one of the first time law enforcement agents who acted outside the law. If you like gangster movies, you will enjoy "The French Connection."


The film begins with a police pursuit scene where a man is chased by a French detective. The chase sequence displays a pursuit of car trains that speed up the plot and bring gangs to the end of their violence. However, the tense atmosphere of the film denied the fact that the action moved very slowly. The character of the film moves like them under supervision, causing the pursuit scene to look very destroyed.


When the story was revealed, we learned more about the true story "The French Connection." This criminal organization began at the Copacabana nightclub in Brazil. Egan and Grosso, known "Dope Pushers" at the club, asked for telephone tap for sixty days and thirty days. Finally, they listened to French phone calls. In the end, they found that the people had hidden money in France.


"The French Connection" is a good example of a classic and modern classic film. Unlike many films, "The French Connection" does not glorify tactics that doubt and vice versa focus on the sandy reality of drug trafficking. This film is a satire in drug trafficking, and the end of this film is quite haunting to survive alone. But not without criticism.


"The french connection kissed" won an Oscar for Best Picture in 1971. Although this is a clear choice to win, it is difficult to argue with Friedkin's work as an American director. Friedkin succeeded in combining documentary film techniques with sandy detective stories. And while the film might be far from perfect, it remains one of the biggest films of this decade. This is also one of the best crime films in the 1970s.


The style of making French Connection films is very unusual for Hollywood films. Friedkin began to make a short documentary and brought his experiences and skills to the drama genre. New York set at the film location, the work of the "Egan style" police that is rough, and bruises of winter scenes in the city is the hallmark of this film. This also inspired the follow -up four years later, "The French Connection II," directed by John Frankenheimer.


One of the most amazing moments in "The French Connection" was when a car slid under the elevated subway. The scene of pursuing a movie car is among the most amazing ever made. Not infrequently seeing the pursuit of cars in the current film, but Friedkin calibrates the action in "The French Connection" to create a visceral effect. This grit and determination will produce results, and the audience will believe what they see.
