Let's just say "New Police Story". It's very different from the usual police and bandit movies. Often, the police and bandit movies are released to do something criminal, and then through the efforts of the police, they fight and kill. There are also some strange and thrilling elements in the story, but after reading too much, it seems like a thousand pieces, and it tastes the same!
The "New Police Story" is different. He is not purely about high-tech, not focusing on a single hero, but describing the gangster's psychology, growth background and many factors, and finally brewing into a dead end. Perhaps they should not be called "Azu" as gangsters, they are the direct victims of the shackled family education after the flashy society. It is not they themselves that cause them to go to the road of no return, but the environment in which the whole society cultivates them.
"Azu" pointed an empty pistol at his father before he died. He knew that he did not kill his father, nor could he kill his father. He was referring to the shadow of society, which he also understood. Before dying, I cried in agony, but I cried without words. And he was like the last bullet that didn't go into the gun hall. He can't change anything, and the only passive choice is his own death.
Jackie Chan is a bridge in the play. He knew the words in "Azu"'s heart and wanted to save him and make him turn back, but he couldn't think of how many muzzles could make "Azu" turn back? The interpretation of the story is permeated with human nature, deeply into the human psychology, and into the society. In-depth the complex relationship between the two, based on this, I think the movie is a good movie.
But there are some shortcomings. When Azu died, the audience felt more helplessness and regret. At this time, treat people carefully and taste like other people. Should be too hasty.
Is "Azu" dead or not? To use Lu Xun's words to answer is: "Probably Azu is indeed dead." Of course, perhaps the film did not want to express the above views at all, perhaps it is my personal feeling. The words of "The Tenth Screening Room" of the central ten are not as sharp and heart-warming, but they are so perfect, in short, some sighs after watching it!
