      Wang Jing is still a big hand

      Wang Jing is still a big hand, I have to admit that, third-level, gambling, spoofs, gangsters, everything can be played well. This time in a serious manner, the fiddled "Chasing the Dragon" grabbed the audience's tongue and cleaned up the shit and farts of the previous years, just like Zheng Zeshi's lines in the movie:

      "You want to pour it? Wash it and start all over again?"

      Old Liu nodded so much that his body trembled, "That's what I meant."

      Wang Jing, the director who...

      Wang Jing's best movies in recent years

      It's average, not bad, and not very exciting. If there is an accident, it is probably Wang Jing, the director of the series of bad films in recent years, who also made a feature film that did not rely on showing off eroticism and vulgar consumption. But in terms of the quality of the film, it is only within his level, and it is even very routine and not eye-catching. This is an old-fashioned fried rice theme. The content of the story is already familiar to me. It reflects the power and money...

      Nationalism in Hong Kong Films Degenerates from Self-improvement to Hsiang Lin Wife's Landmark

      Looking back at the Hong Kong films of the last century, although the Huang Feihong series has far more bugs than the current film and is full of mistakes in historical common sense, the main idea expressed in this series is that Chinese people should strengthen themselves. Compared with those movies of the last century, the main idea of ​​this "Chasing the Dragon" is completely: "British dad's thick and big things make small crystal chrysanthemums so painful."

      Although there are also...

      who knows the heart of the prodigal son

      It's very good-looking. There are only a handful of Dehua Shushu movies. I have to make a call to chase the dragon. I feel like a long-lost Hong Kong underworld movie. Whether it's fighting in a group or chasing in a small alley, I want to say something after a long time. ! It's especially inappropriate to say that a bear child should cover his mouth when he should cover his mouth!

      In fact, many times I have watched Hong Kong films and I have wanted to ask, if you knew that in order to...

      Andy Lau made up for the regret that he was not proficient when he was young in the second half of 1992. As for saying that this "gangster film" is a classmate of "Once Upon a Time in Wan Chai", don't blame me for beating people, this is obviously "Lei Luo Chuan 3: Ye Wen"...

      Kind of interesting, but not too memorable, not bad, not subtle. The partial restoration of the Kowloon Walled City is the biggest highlight. The plot is quite comical, and the characters are too simple, which is far from reality. In terms of values, although they try to vilify the British, it seems that they are still from the civilized world. The bottom line is far higher than the two protagonists. If the audience sympathizes with the protagonists, they should think about the world where Lai...

      The description of the old Hong Kong Kowloon Walled City, especially the long scene where the lame man just entered the walled city, is very exciting and vivid, but it collapsed when he got to the place where the rude preaching came, especially in the final shootout, when the rose was shot and turned into a flower, I thought it was in It's time to rip the devil out~ It's hard to avoid the myth of character building with Lai Luo and Lai Hao to show the history of Hong...

    Evaluation action

    "Chasing The Dragon" is a work full of sincerity, and the standard is also very high in Chinese movies. The film shows sincerity, removes all formalized and aesthetic movements, and only pursues fierce and real fighting. Let the audience not feel that this is an action movie and play, but at the end of the movie, it still returns to the temperament of an action movie. The last shootout is the finale. I don’t know if the director’s...
