a movie review

I just finished watching My Fage's "Blood Two Heroes". The film is from a long time ago, but it is very flavorful, not out of touch with the times.
This film tells the story of two principled policemen and killers. In a society where morality and human affection are weak, it is a story about the separation of heaven and man as soon as they form life and death brothers.
For Xiaobao, this is a tragedy. An old friend and a new brother have died one after another. The justice he insists on is so vulnerable in front of his boss, or in front of this society.
For Maotou, this may be a comedy. His only old friend has really not changed, and he has found a new friend again in such a cruel world. For someone like him who values ​​friends above everything else, he He was happy, he was already ready to die, except that he couldn't stay with Jenny for the rest of his life, he died without regret.
But this ending is cruel on the whole, "We are no longer suitable for this arena, we are too nostalgic." The killer who wanted to retire was unable to leave after all, and the police who insisted on morality were finally put on the head by colleagues with guns , the two brothers who cherish each other will inevitably be separated from each other in the end, perhaps like "The Killer Is Not Cold", the imperfect ending makes the movie great.


In fact, I think it would be more interesting to advance the ending to the end of the two people's words at the church door. There are still many people outside. Can they break through the siege? Will Xiaobao or Maotou die? Will Tou and Jenny live a happy life abroad, or will Maotou bring the recovered Jenny back to Hong Kong, where the two brothers talk and grow old side by side...?


"I've been a friend for so long, and I still don't know your real name. " "Do I
need to know?"
"I'm afraid that after this matter with you is over, even if you don't die, you'll go away. It's good that I remember having such a friend."
" Then you want me to die or you want me to go"
"If it's not destined, I don't want either"
"You're a good friend. Hey, didn't you name me Maotou?"
(The two exchanged a smile. , the end of the play)

    The script is awesome, the characters are awesome, the dialogue is awesome, and the action scenes are awesome. A series of classics that are insurmountable in Chinese movies. What the current Hong Kong films and co-productions lack is actually the grasp of the characters in the script. Although the scenes are getting better and better, they are still pale in terms of characters and plot. "Blood Two Heroes", a benchmark work that all screenwriters and directors must keep in mind.

    The police and the killer are only one step away! My mother strongly recommended this film to me, she said that she liked it more than the true character of the hero, really~
