There are not many ups and downs in the plot of the movie. The classic scenes in Hong Kong movies, the stories of gangsters and the police, in the eyes of many people, the most brilliant scene is the fight between Donnie Yen and Wu Jing and Sammo Hung at the end of the movie. Blood gushed up, and the manliness that filled the screen seemed to overflow. Most of the protagonists are trainees, and the fighting scenes are really exciting. There is no sloppy, no stand-in or exaggerated stunts. The real punches and feet are even more powerful. The knife that Zhen Zidan stabbed into Wu Jing's abdomen and pierced it also seemed to have warmth.
However, aside from these highlights, what I see more is two things, one is family affection, and the other is the helplessness of substantive justice in the face of formal justice.
The main time for the story to take place is Father's Day. Brother Zhong adopted the daughter of the witness who was killed by Wang Bao. The little girl lost her memory and called her father to ask why you didn’t have a holiday today on Father’s Day. Another policeman’s wife and daughter had been away from home for many years, and her daughter called on Father’s Day. I came to see my father; Brother Hua always hated his father, and finally called his mother to ask about his father, only to find out that his father had passed away a few months ago; Ale said that his parents were in Brazil (Er Yao is a little self-introduced), his words revealed his desire to leave the police force; A Jun used his father as an example and always wanted to be a good policeman. Everyone has their own stories about Father's Day, which are very touching, but what moved me the most was not these positive characters, but the Father's Day of Wang Bao, the villain.
Wang Bao's wife had two miscarriages, and she always wanted to have a child for Wang Bao. Finally, she had a son who was full moon on Father's Day. On that day, Wang Bao was taken away by the police. When the police appeared, Wang Bao was holding a big pink panther doll in his arms and was about to see his son. An underworld elder brother was holding a big pink doll, which made people feel that no matter how ruthless the man outside, there was always a soft place in his heart. At the police station, Wang Bao dialed his wife's phone, calmly said that he was fine, then said he wanted to hear his son's voice and spoke to his son in a low voice. At the end, when Wang Bao and A Jun were fighting, his wife called. He was clearly strangled to death. Wang Bao, who was seriously injured, told his wife in a calm voice, "It's okay, I'll go back right away, don't come up." I was really moved at that moment, even though he was a bad guy. So at the end of the story, he pushed Ah Jun down the window, and Ah Jun fell into his wife's car. I can imagine the remorse and despair in his heart.
Regarding justice, this is the point that touched me the most in this film. As a law student, when I saw the police group led by Brother Zhong beat Wang Bao's younger brother to death together, and wanted to arrest Wang Bao by substituting evidence, coercing witnesses to give false testimony, etc., I was always disgusted and conflicted. Then I thought of the famous Simpson case. Years of legal education convinced me of the importance of procedural fairness and the important role of illegal evidence exclusion in ensuring procedural fairness. Even though I know that Wang Bao is indeed the murderer, and that he is indeed guilty of heinous crimes, but without sufficient evidence and without legal procedures, if he cannot be convicted of guilt, then he is innocent. The role of human rights. However, many times, if we stand on the side of the victim, or even on the side of the police, we don't have enough confidence to say this.
But I still feel that justice obtained by fists is not true justice. Relying on fists to speak hard may be the survival criterion of the underworld, but it certainly cannot become the benchmark of civilized society. The power of the villain is even stronger. Is that another tragedy in which a man's arm acts as a car?
