  • The scene from Huang Zhicheng's killing and falling from the building to the death of Shi Qiang is a major climax of the film. Tony Leung's acting skills at that moment are indeed extraordinary, because he performed the reaction that people at that moment should have most. It's not how exaggerated the mental activity is, or how many layers of emotions it contains, but the instinct that is stimulated at that moment. Headache, panic, anger, ignorance, so that he suddenly forgot his undercover identity, and slowly recovered after being dragged away by silly strong. Afterwards, the fool said a lot, saying that Huang Zhicheng was beaten for ten minutes, but he didn't say a word for ten minutes! From his tone, I actually felt a kind of admiration in it. He is indeed a young and dangerous boy, but he still has a sincere pursuit of benevolence and righteousness. The words he said afterward also confirmed this, he did not betray the good brother in his heart, even if the boss gave such an order. It is true that Xiaoqiang is stupid. He doesn't know what is right, but he can stick to himself, and he will not betray his brother, and he will never betray himself.
  • What really changed Liu Jianming might be his girlfriend, including the novels she wrote, which made him really start to have the idea of ​​being a good person. Huang Zhicheng was killed and Han Chen's distrust came to the fore.
  • In the end, Chen found out that Liu was a hidden undercover agent and then running away was the most normal choice, because he was not sure what Liu was thinking, and staying at the police station became the most dangerous choice, because Liu might be able to subdue Chen at any time. , delete his file and detain him at the police station. Only after escaping was it possible to find the tape as a bargaining chip to expose Liu.
  • I feel that the setting of the name has some meanings: Liu Jianming - gradually becoming brighter and brighter; Chen Yongren - eternal benevolence and righteousness. One yearns for the light, but has long been mired in the quagmire; the other never sinks, but has no identity.

The highest of the eight hells is called the Uninterrupted Hell, which means to suffer great suffering without interruption.

The Buddha said: Those who are boundless in the body will never die, and longevity is a great kalpa in the boundless hell.
