watched three "True Colors of Heroes" in one day, which is considered to be my super-level performance.
Black and white gun battles, brotherly loyalty, betrayal and misunderstanding - the series of "True Colors of Heroes", "Infernal Affairs" and "Young and Dangerous" are undoubtedly the classics of gangster and gangster films.
When I first watched "The True Color of Heroes", it was for Leslie Cheung. But in the first part, Leslie Cheung was still stole the limelight by Fa Ge. There are too many classic lines and pictures of the little brother, cynical, sassy and suave, to the silence when he learned that his brother was betrayed, the slow motion of the sparkling slow motion of walking with a woman and firing a gun, the frustration after the lame leg And unwilling, stubborn, loyal, full of pride. Every stage, every expression, is extremely eye-catching.
What impressed me deeply was the part where he was beaten after the lame leg, when he fell and fell out, the prosthetic leg was always dragged.
Brother Hao wants to reform himself, but who knows that brothers and friends can't have both, standing in the middle of two paths, it is difficult to be a good person, and it is difficult to wash away a stain. So he's not as thorough and complete as Pony and Applejack.
Brother Fa played the twin brother of Brother Xiao Ma in the second part. In fact, I think the reason why the second part is inferior to the first one is that the narrative is more chaotic, the story is more scattered, and the younger brother has not gotten rid of the image of the elder brother at all. , the same appearance, the same small movements, all about loyalty, although not so impulsive, but it is too easy to make people feel confused and indistinguishable.
It is not easy for an actor to play a good role, but to be honest, in a movie of the same type or even a series, to play two different people, even people who look the same, distinction is the criterion for judging acting skills. Or maybe it was the director's arrangement. In order to continue the theme of loyalty, the screenwriter created a 70% similar personality, which made the actors unable to play and shape.
But to be honest, Fa Ge's expression in this movie made me a fan.
Leslie Cheung performed very well in the first part. From a young and carefree teenager, he was burdened with guilt and hatred, struggling between ideals and reality, and intense emotional conflicts. In the process, he experienced the death of his father and the imprisonment of his brother. , and knowing that his brother is a thief and a soldier himself, and the two chose completely different paths—these things. At the beginning, the young Leslie Cheung, handsome, delicate, and childish, runs with wind and a smile. Innocent, natural, pure. After his father's death, his love for his older brother turned to hatred, and in the end, the hatred went out, and he paid the price of the pony's life.
The deepest impression is that in the first part, he went to the pier alone and fought side by side with his brother. When the first shot was fired, he stood up and was stunned for a while, a little unsure. At that time he was afraid. Although determined to be a good policeman, when he really stepped into the environment where his brother was surrounded by bullets, he suddenly realized his cowardice and insignificance. Brother Xiao Ma shot in the rain of bullets, and his stunned youth and fear made me feel his mood at that moment. It turned out that so long ago, maybe in the past, my brother resisted so many wind and rain for him. Behind the strength of his brother that he had never felt personally, and the environment in which he could grow up without worry, was the silent sacrifice of his brother - it was at this moment, suddenly, that he began to forgive.
Details and expressions that convey their emotions, which is what great actors do.
In the second part, Leslie Cheung finally sacrificed. He has matured a lot, no longer reckless, acted neatly and confidently, full of trust in his brother, and the most valuable thing is that he still retains the glory of the police. It's like Brother Ma has come to the end of an underworld, and he has also come to the end on the path he chose.
These two films eventually became classics, and the brilliant acting skills of Chow Yun-fat and Leslie Cheung are the key. Oh the other protagonist, Brother Hao, the actor's appearance is suppressed, so... or rather, it is the underworld he has gone through, and the white way that has never been able to accept him. In the swing of the two, I think of "Infernal Affairs" ( It should be) said in the book, good people are hard to do. This swinging character has meaning, and even the deepest stuff of the movie is here, but it also makes the character less charismatic than the first two.
As for the third part, as far as my aesthetics are concerned, I don't think Anita Mui is so good-looking. The clichéd brother fell in love with the same woman's plot, which also made me disgusted with the somewhat wretched Leung Ka Fai. Because it has nothing to do with the previous two films, it can be regarded as a prequel to Xiaoma, because the sunglasses and windbreaker that this woman gave him later became his standard clothing. And at that time, the little brother, shooting or something, the accuracy rate was worrying.
In a chaotic world, the plot is a bit scattered, but the three characters of the hero and heroine and He Changqing stand very well.
In general, the first to the third, respectively, are five or four Samsung.
In that arena, when Chow Yun-fat was hit in the second movie, the gun ran out of bullets, and the opponent gave him another gun, and he was due to die in his hands. In the third part, He Changqing and Pony Ma lost their grudges before their death.
The word "righteousness" is so fascinating.
