Looking at the gangster films we are familiar with, the police and gangsters,
Wu Zhenyu has frowning eyebrows, Liang Jiahui has a thin face, Liu Qingyun has vicissitudes of wrinkles and beards, Huang Qiusheng has loose eyelids, Liang Chaowei has deep eyes, Andy Lau has a high nose bridge, Zeng Zhiwei has charm smile. And Huang
Zhengmin's face is like a blank piece of paper. His facial features are astonishingly pale. Take off his fake sunglasses. His plain and indifferent face has almost nothing on it.
Ding Qing, slutty and deep, casual and sinister, cute but wise and decisive, kind and soft but sensitive and suspicious, ruthless and stubborn, this character has been ridiculed and scolded by a layer of laughter from the very beginning. Encased in a rogue shell that peels off when he dies, inside the chrysalis is the body of a reticent godfather.
From the comical atmosphere of the street-side hooligans in the airport at the beginning
, to the powerful aura of the drama unfolding in sequence, the game wisdom and profound preaching techniques revealed. It all made me hooked.
He presents it in a very capable and mellow way of expression, saving a lot of side-scrolling, no need to stare, no need to lower your voice line, no need to smoke, no need to raise the corners of your mouth slightly, no need to frown tightly, and no need to speak loudly Laugh, don't be angry, don't deliberately say a bunch of clichés, just do what he should do calmly and directly. Let the world know that he is a gangster.
It is also this progressive interpretation that makes the whole character's dramatic tension amazing. I believe that many people underestimate him at the beginning of the story like me. Haha, I always feel like I'm going to die halfway through. I always feel that it is an impulsive and naive protagonist without a city, a good friend or something.
When he cut the head of the stone and said to Li Zicheng, "They are all playing with you", that sigh and questioning
when he was in the elevator without any fear, hesitation, or any excess emotion, but very simple with a knife and 6 people fight.
From a gangster who started on the streets of Lishui, rolling in the black forest, ups and downs in the sea of people, gang princes, and sympathetic feelings that fell when he was about to be crowned are all vividly presented by him.
Well, apart from Huang, this film really has
nothing . For the part, I still kindly refute the point of view that this film has exploded "Infernal Affairs" 10 times.
1 The watch Huang gave Li is the watch (token) given by Huang Qiusheng to Liang in Infernal Affairs
2 Huang hired a Chinese to check Section Chief Jiang, hired Yanbian people to kill the police, and in the end Yanbian people were instructed by Li to kill Section Chief Jiang and Gao, which is "Infernal Affairs" The relationship between the Thais, Ni, and Han in "2", the Thais originally wanted to help Ni kill Han Chen and finally Han Chen asked the Thais to help deal with Ni Yongxiao (using outsiders to solve internal problems, outsiders are used by outsiders)
3 in the elevator The overhead shot is the overhead shot of Andy Lau and Lin Jiadong in the elevator.
4 The undercover finally turned against the water, and the undercover became the godfather. This is Wang Jing's "Knowing the Law and Breaking the Law" + "Crouching Tiger". The pitiful thing is that these two films were made by Wang Jing. If Wong Kar-Wai made it, it would have been praised long ago. Many times, some preconceived ideas will lead to the same competition. The environment has become very unfair.
5 Is the entire "Golden Gate Election" two-person campaign the same as John To's "Harmony and Liansheng" campaign? Even the motives for police intervention are the same.
6 Huang killed two undercover agents in the warehouse, Li was stunned, and Ni killed Zhang Yaoyang in "Infernal Affairs", and Shawn Yue was stunned.
7 Only 3 people know about Li's file, and only 3 people know about Tony Leung's file. This is very important, which makes the thin piece of paper carry a heavy thing, like straw, like a promise.
8 In the end, Li turned against the water and completely opened the chess game that Huang Puzhang gave him at the same time point, and completing the 4 kills was exactly the same as Ni calmly completed the 4 kills in "No 2".
9 Li's final motivation is completely different from his original motivation. This is the opposite of Han Chen's motivation at the end and beginning of "No 2". Exactly the same, Li initially just wanted to end it and go abroad. He never thought about being a big boss at all, and Han Yixin just wanted to help the Ni family, and didn't want to make trouble.
If a copy, remake, or reference film can fully reveal the source of the material, then this film is really amazing, but unfortunately not, all the material processing, I have only 0 points here.
The soul of this film comes from the Hong Kong gangster film inside and out. From bone to blood, it is pervasive. It is simply Liu Weiqiang, Zhuang Wenqiang, Mai Zhaohui, Dongsheng, Du Qifeng, You Naihai's own son, Park Xunzheng, I really don't want to complain about him, except me The 10 o’clock mentioned, there are still many trivial details, not one by one, so let’s just laugh at the point of view of “Infernal Affairs”.
Finally, one star
Ding Qing gave the file to Li Zicheng. Before he died, he was at the bedside, and he explained that he gave Li Zicheng a gift. This gift is the same as that fake Rolex. Whether it's fake or not, it doesn't matter
. The most important thing is that he gave Li Zicheng this gift before he died. This piece of paper gave Li a chance to choose. In all undercover films, undercover agents have money, power, and trust. There is betrayal, there are women, there is brotherhood with brothers, and mentorship with superiors. The only thing that doesn't exist is the opportunity to choose.
Li got something that undercover in the whole world doesn't have, hehe
, so I gave the rest one star
so 5 stars.
I like "Infernal Affairs" and "Underworld" very much, but I only gave 4 stars to both of them.
The low score does not mean that the movie is good. If there is no Huang Zhengmin, I will only give this movie 1 star.
