But the two films are very different, and the success of "Infernal Affairs" lies in the clever script design combined with the superb soundtrack.
In particular, the soundtrack in "Infernal Affairs 2" is simply amazing, and I can't even find a suitable word to express my admiration and admiration. (It seems to be the music composed by beyond)
The soundtrack at the beginning is very shocking.
At that time, Liu Jianming accepted Carina Lau's arrangement to kill Nichkhun. I don't know what Liu (Jianming) was feeling at that time, anyway, you can't tell from the movie footage.
But the soundtrack is very sad, giving people a feeling of a hundred claws rubbing their intestines. (This piece reappeared in the Martyrs Cemetery, and it was also tear-jerking.) The
piece is called 1991. It is said that it was synthesized with electronic synthesizers, and the women sang in low voices, which almost established the tragic tone of the entire film.
There is also a soundtrack of "The Attack" in the middle, which is also very good. I know a little about the instruments, so it must be the strings played by the violin, but they played it very well. The pictures just fit together perfectly.
So if you describe "Infernal Affairs", especially "Infernal Affairs 2", as a musical work, I don't think it is necessary. (In addition, let me say again, when you watch a good film and television work, you will resonate with it, and then the consciousness will be separated from the self and integrated into the film. So I think that a good film and television work, when you watch it, you cannot think Yes , if you think about it, it means that this film is not good. This is how films with pee spots come from.)
Taking this opportunity, I would like to express my views on movies, that is, what is a movie?
My opinion is: movies are novels, not novels.
One of the most taboo problems in movies is prose, which is represented by Wong Kar-wai. When you watch his movies, you are always rambling and rambling, and the protagonist likes to talk nonsense that seems to be profound but doesn't make sense.
Do you know why he always wears sunglasses? Some people say it's being cool and pretending to be B, but I don't think it's right. It's to cover up his guilty conscience, for fear that people will see through him. It turns out that he is a prose writer.
But to tell the truth, his disguise is indeed very successful, at least many people still pay tribute to him as a root vegetable.
Many directors are envious and want to learn from him, such as Lu Chuan, who made the film "Nanjing! Nanjing! "After winning a little award, my heart was super inflated, thinking that I was the Spielberg of the East, so in 2011, I made a highly personalized prose film: "The King's Feast".
I won't talk about the experience of watching the movie. I remember that there were two girls in the front row of me. After watching the movie for less than 30 minutes, they tore up the movie ticket and walked away, as if I didn't finish it.
When I wrote this, I suddenly wanted to say something to Director Lu, "Are you wearing sunglasses, so you can learn from Wong Kar Wai? Go home and wear a pair of sunglasses!"
I said just now that movies are novels, so you can't use them as prose. But on the other hand it's not a novel, so you can't make it into a novel entirely.
The representative of the film's complete novelization is the domestic Feng Xiaogang. In all fairness, you can't help but say that his films are not good, but if you want to say how outstanding his films are, it always seems to be a little bit worse.
In a word, watching his movies for the first time will definitely amuse you, but you definitely don't want to watch his movies a second time.
Why is this happening, this is the result of the film being completely fictionalized.
For example, most of his movies are driven by dialogue, and the plot seems to have little influence. Watching his movies seems to be listening to cross talk, but the visual impact of cola is not strong. (But have you ever thought about it, film is a camera language, not a text language.)
Also, I feel that Director Feng has no musical skills, or even musical appreciation. I am very concerned about the soundtrack when watching movies, but Of all his films, there is not one, not even a soundtrack that I like. Movies are audio-visual art, if you say you can't get the soundtrack right, then you can call it a good movie!
In addition, Feng Dao also seems to be unable to convey his thoughts in the language of the camera, which is why the film critics have always rated it as "vulgar".
For example, in the film "Night Banquet", the core idea is of course the most poisonous people's hearts, but this needs the storyline of the film to show, you can't tell it, and he asked the actor to tell it, and the mood is gone.
"1942" also made the same mistake. I won't talk about the storyline, but the core idea, the core idea is hunger, but you can't say it, it's boring once you say it.
To be honest, the characters in it, except for Feng Yuanzheng, who looks like a drug addict, are thin and fat (especially Chef Fan), and it always feels very awkward to make these people starve.
When I came out of the cinema, I always had such a picture in my mind, Chef Fan came towards me with a burp, and cried at me as he walked, "I'm hungry!
" I don't want to watch it.
