This film has a great influence on Hong Kong film and society. More meaningful is the film's political metaphor. The original English name is A Better Tomorrow. In the late 1980s, it was the time when Hong Kong 97 was confused.

one word can simply reflect this movie----brother hood and it also included two kinds of brotherhood: blood brothers and good brothers.
HK and British are good brothers and this relationship is formed by common experiences, so it is free to choose. HK and China are blood brothers and this relationship is given. Just like the movie, blood brothers reified by misunderstandings and misfortune due to different ideology values ​​just like gangsters and polices.

This film shows that good brother relationship is more precious than the blood one. The political metaphor behind this movie is interesting. it reflects the society of HK in 1980s.

    "If you have principles, you are not afraid of anything." I really dare not say that this is the first time I have watched "The True Colors of a Hero". I miss the best Hong Kong film era. "He has the courage to change it, do you have the courage to accept it?" Shanghai Film Festival 4k repair version.

The perfection of detail. Violent actions are formalized, romanticized and poetic, opening the era of oriental violent aesthetic films. Chow Yun-fat, the perfect combination of acting and idol charm, the best spokesperson for John Woo's heroic myth
