helpless

There are many people who say this film is rough and fake. I also admit it. The reason for giving five stars is that I suddenly found something that I didn't notice when I watched it today.

The influence of Ajie's company in Saigon (or Vietnam directly) is not small, but in the end the Japanese died, Ajie also died and the pony and his brother fled. What left a deep impression on me was that at the end of the movie, the pony looked at the people fleeing at the airport on the plane,...

20171110 heroic character

The third film just borrowed the names of the first two films, so removing the "hero nature" and using another alias does not hinder it, but Chow Yun-fat can't be called Mark in the film. Can't turn around. What everyone wants to see is Pony's "resurrection", to see him take back what he lost, even though he dies every time.
The third film was made by Tsui Hark, who can make anything like his martial arts films. It's so tiring to watch. 1995's "The Knife" continued the film's tone....

brilliant sunset

Everyone is so insignificant in the face of the war, just like the rest of the people at the airport when the last plane took off, helpless and disappointed. But wars are caused by people. Weak people gather huge disasters. Who should pay for this responsibility? Fortunately, the war is over! The kids are saved!

I am very fortunate that I live in a peaceful era, a stable society, and a happy family. Although it was a war-torn era, there was always a spark of love. The first smile, the...

stay away from war

Unlike Heroes 1 and 2, 3 has no major villain. Amin, who looks like a villain, did not perform the script of selling friends as expected; He Changqing did not deliberately target the pony. At times, it is even regrettable to see; Sangbang can be said to be the worst person among them, but he has no attitude of the ultimate villain at all, and is only in a supporting role.

The film mentions revenge many times, but who should be the most revengeful? Just like an out-of-focus...

Gangs in war, love in troubled times

I thought it was a sequel to the "True Colors of Heroes" series, but at the beginning, I saw love in Brother Ma's eyes towards Zhou Yingjie (played by Anita Mui).
      I thought it was the old way to go to the gang, but I saw the powerlessness and panic of the gangsters in the era of regime change.
      Personally, this drama is not very big, but it is more memorable than 1 and 2. Maybe girls will be able to experience that delicate emotion better.
      1. "Song of the Sunset"...

Different from the strong masculinity of the first two episodes directed by John Woo, Tsui Hark this time focused on Anita Mui as a heroine in troubled times, while Chow Yun-fat, who was brilliant in the first two episodes, took a back seat. The film is a prequel to the first episode. Tsui Hark used Vietnam in the 1970s to tell his memory of growing up and his immigration history. The addition of the role of Anita Mui added chivalrous tenderness and romance that were not present in the first...

Hong Kong movies in the 1980s and 1990s have a magic power, like the big stew in the Northeast, no matter what messy ingredients are added, it can be delicious. This is also a love triangle, a Vietnam War, and a...

In fact, it's better to just call it Song of the Sunset. In the film, except for the name MARK, it has basically nothing to do with the true character of the hero. If you look at it as Ying 3, it may only have two stars, but it is still remarkable to see it...

This is just a supplementary work for the box office. Although it is still a Hong Kong film at its peak, it can throw off other films by a few streets now. But Tsui Hark is Tsui Hark in the end, he can't be willing to just do a sequel to John Woo, but to the audience who have followed and expected the whole story, what they want is just a sequel. Three exhausted, in the end it is still declining. But unforgettable, and Anita Mui's...

"The setting sun is infinitely helpless, but it is bright for a breath, and the brilliance that fades away with the clouds is no longer there, and the changes of this life are unbearable, like floating clouds, tangled and tangled in this vicissitudes of life." There is no one more suitable for Zhou Yingjie than Mei Gu, but the scene under He Changqing at the end of the film makes me particularly concerned. The so-called trust, loyalty, and...
