The director wanted to make a trilogy from the very beginning

Accidentally came across "Infernal Affairs" while watching TV and revisited the classics.



In the first part of "Infernal Affairs", every scene and every scene has been written, so the characters are typical and the story is unforgettable.



The second part of "Infernal Affairs" is my favorite of the three episodes. It turns out that the director wanted to make a trilogy from the very beginning, and he wanted to make a chronicle. All the characters were not like that ten years ago. Ten years ago, I didn't know you. You don't belong to me, we are still the same, with a stranger...because it was youthful, volatile, turbulent, the best of times, and the worst of times. After ten years, people have been completely finalized and vivid, but ten years ago, everything can be changed. You can see that the honest, selfless and tragic good policeman Huang Sir in the first film actually had deep, The ruthless, nervous, and useless side; and how Andy Lau's young Edison Chen changed from an impulsive teenager who would be destroyed if he didn't get it, to a more shrewd and selfish one in the first part, and of course he started his personality in the third part. Splitting is actually more shrewd and selfish; and Zeng Zhiwei, who later became the boss, also had such friendship with Huang Sir, had such sincerity, and had such grief before he became ruthless and cruel. Needless to say, the best impression is Wu Zhenyu's weak scholar appearance and unscrupulous nature, murderous in the calm... In short, similar to "The Godfather", a gangster epic in a Chinese film.



The third part of "Infernal Affairs" also said that it is the ultimate infinity, but it is the most unpopular. One of the reasons is the appearance of Dawn, and the expressionless performance makes it unpleasant. In fact, this episode is the most capable and the most elaborative The director's intention, but because it is mainly psychological suspense, it is difficult to understand at once. Usually, many people can roughly understand what they are talking about after watching the first and second episodes, but generally they say that the third part is inexplicable and doesn't make sense. . In fact, only after reading the analysis report did I know why the director made such a film, but the final result was not very good.

After all, Liu, who can shoot the first and second films, and threatened that Coppola will use 18 years to complete the "Godfather" classic trilogy, they will use 18 months to complete the "Infernal Affairs" classic trilogy in Hong Kong. , Mai, Zhuang and others, the third part is definitely not random, but the effect is really bad.



In addition, Li Ming sings really well, but some characters in the movie are really not suitable for him, such as Chen Kaige's "Mei Lanfang", although I haven't watched it yet, I probably know that because of him, I can't make it like Leslie Cheung's "Farewell My Concubine" ” became an unsurpassed movie later, because my brother has passed away, and there is only one brother.
