      Woo Yusen's absolute yellow skin and white heart

      At the beginning of this film, a few people in Hong Kong said that it was too chaotic and could not survive because of the party's propaganda. Many places described the role of the party in Hong Kong very negatively. In Vietnam, it was even more so. The Viet Cong in his movie It's a murderer, and Americans are good people, so I'm sorry, Americans are definitely the most ruthless when it comes to killing people, especially those of the yellow race. .

      Hehe, Director Wu took great pains...

      pretty good movie

      I watched the movie while I was bored on the weekend. It was directed by John Woo, "Blood on the Street". The color of the film is very strong, Jacky Cheung's performance is really good, Tony has a top+ performance, and Ren Dahua, the man with a gun turned out to be so handsome~ ~Of course there is also Li Zixiong's villain~~
      What do you want to say?~~~
      Faced with war, life and death, and temptation, everything seems so pale and powerless. In the war, you can't even save yourself, how...

      behind the name

      Blood on the Streets -- the name is vulgar, like the name of the '90s tide of trash gunfight movies. To be honest, I hate this movie because of the name; I
      saw its English name: Bullet in the Head
      and decided to watch it, and I was shocked
      .
      Compared with the movie, John Woo's other works are too technical. This is not a movie written in blood and tears
      . I would like to express my recommendation for this movie like this:
      If a person can only watch two movies in a...

      3.4 read all, most of them were written in the evening of 3.4

      Broken thoughts:

      After reading it, I feel a little downhearted. I feel that the short review may not be enough to write, so let's just make it into a film review, which is suitable for me who is long-winded. After reading it, I felt that the name of the movie "Blood on the Street" is a scam. I thought it was the theme of a gangster movie that Hong Kong filmmakers love to make....

      John Woo after N times

      First of all, giving two stars does not mean that this movie is not good, I am really tired of aesthetics.

      John Woo's movie (about brotherly friendship), when you watch it for the first time, you will be very excited, you will be moved by the love of the man, and you will feel that the love of a man can even surpass love.

      True Colors 1 is, True Colors 2 is, and Bloody Two Heroes is. I even excerpted the lines that I thought were good in True Colors 1. During that time, I was...

      A Rong has forgotten his righteousness because of his own interests. Most likely, apart from his lack of principles and bottom lines, he has been insane since he was a child. I don't know because of the war or the bottom, but a box of golden leaves can be regarded as the highest pursuit that is more important than life. Cruel and...

      Woo Yusen-style violent aesthetics, good-looking. The combination of Liang Zhang and Li Ren is good~ps: Yuan Jieying is so beautiful, and Li Zixiong is the boss of the...

      The usual style of John Woo's films is that the blasting gunfight is the main inner monologue supplemented by the inner monologue, so the abuse point between the three brothers is not prominent enough, but John Woo used some slow motion in some places that he may think it is a point, but it looks a bit awkward. Jacky Cheung's performance I made up for a lot of tears for the lack of emotional drama and abuse, and finally the memories under the speeding car are poke points. ....

      Surprised by the blasted scene, the editing is top-notch, except for a few blunt transitions (or maybe a screening glitch). Film screenings are fun. Tony Leung was really handsome back then, and all the angles were perfect. After so many years, I will still be moved by the friendship and passion in Hong Kong...

      Qiang Wu too loves to use slow motion to cover up the ugly; the French guy who plays "Autumn Leaves" + Deneuve on the wall, but the bearded Ren Dahua does not have the aura of a wandering swordsman; "In this world, if you have a gun, you have everything!"; soundtrack Like the trilogy of the past, the setting is very [Golden Bad and Bad]; the Xueyou cos is Walken in [Deer Hunter]; the biking hilarity and the car racing are very cool together; there is a tank man. The play, echoes the 64 of a...

    Evaluation action

    Although "Bullet in the Head" failed at the box office, it is a very different one in the John Woo movie. In addition to the big scenes of war and riots, this movie also has its own slow-motion shootout. The most important thing is that it has a different emotional catharsis than John Woo's previous movies (Sina.com)  . In the film, John Woo portrays 4 men with different personalities. This story shows that under the influence of...
