The French Connection (1971) The one thing that everyone remembers about this movie is the mind boggling ground shattering rubber burning metal clanging car chase off the streets of Brooklyn to stop a crook on a train. At that time, the scene of a shot taken low from the driver eye level was revolutionary. The rest of the story is hardly memorable as it is the run of the mill procedural cop and robber drama with 2 dedicated cops (Gene Hackman and Roy Scheider) who went beyond the call of duty and biological duty to nab French drug smugglers and their associates based on instincts against the orders of their superiors. As the attraction in the early 70s was fast car chases and daring stunts, this movie went to nab many accolades in the acting, technical, and direction categories for that year.
It is all Mimesis
