The other day I watched "The Gift in Room No. 7" and I really cried. But Wenqing Fan, especially Korean movies, is more or less teary and hypocritical. Apart from being moved, there is less pleasure. I have always felt that some pure action movies, although the scenes are hot, but I always feel "big breasts and no brains." A good story, a good movie, true and exciting, but always full of wisdom.
For a while, I particularly liked Johnnie To's movies. Different gangster movies were always unexpected and directed at people's hearts. After seeing it, I am excited and have a long aftertaste. Watching a good movie is the same as watching a good book. It is always exciting and can't stop. I really want to find someone to have a chat.
I watched "Berlin" the day before yesterday and was a little disappointed. The previous "League of Thieves" was not much better. Because I expected too much, I felt like I was in vain. But I always feel that "New World" will be good. What kind of intuition is this. It is said to be the Korean version of "Infernal Affairs." Hong Kong movies are naturally not so hypocritical. Generally speaking, a remake or something may become a bad film. For example, "The Unregistered". Of course, "New World" is not a remake. It is just a story about undercover agents.
The
first half of Li Zicheng 's foreshadowing was unremarkable. Just when I couldn't stand it, I found a shocking reversal, and an important plot that attracted me very much appeared. Ding Qing exposed the two undercover police officers in front of Zicheng. Zicheng was sweating profusely and his eyes were full of fear. I think he was about to cry. And Ding Qing is indeed cruel and cruel, really killing a chicken to show the monkey. Zicheng must feel that Ding Qing knew his true identity, but no, maybe he just scared him? Not all. But Lee Sung Jae's performance really added points to the film. Although he is always a little pawn at the mercy of others in the film. The calmness of his effort and restraint under the fear was obviously scared to death, but he had to remain calm, that is, he would never showdown until the last step. The showdown is death.
Li Zicheng is very tangled and helpless in the film. Especially his wife is pregnant. In this way he is even more a veritable pawn. He wants to keep his children, he has weaknesses, and he is controlled by others. The relationship between him and Ding Qing is still very good. Although the two are the elder brother and the younger brother, they are as close as siblings. Ding Qing actually looks like a naughty little brother. At the end of the story, it mentions six years ago.
six years ago. Li Zicheng and Ding Qing were still punks, and then they went to fight. Ding Qing opened the door and found many people inside. Want to escape. Li Zicheng, who was always expressionless, rushed in with a knife. In fact, Li Zicheng is even more ruthless, having performed six years ago. But Li Zicheng has always been willing to be his subordinate by Ding Qing's side. They are brothers born to death. Perhaps Li Zicheng could have become the eldest brother, just because he is a policeman and an undercover agent. This identity makes him full of doubts and worries when doing everything. More than ten years later, he wandered between the gangster's men and the police undercover, and he almost didn't even recognize himself. In fact, I personally feel that he prefers to be a gangster. Habits and time will smooth out a person's edges and edges. But he has not given up his belief in being a policeman. I just hope that it all ends soon. Especially when his son was born immediately, this kind of frightening days made him feel terrified.
One cannot lack the awareness of self-belonging. In fact, to put it bluntly, it is the belonging of right and evil. But there seems to be no absolute righteousness in the world. Zicheng always kept a straight face, and then Ding Qing never knew why he kept his face straight, and who to show him straight face. Later Ding Qing finally learned the truth. The most exciting part is the period when the warehouse exposed the undercover. Zicheng was scared to death, and then found out that the undercover was two people beside him. One is his close hand, and the other is a female Go teacher.
Li Zicheng was surprised that the young man was an undercover agent. He didn't expect that the police uncle played by Cui Minzhi didn't trust him, and he planted so many undercover agents next to him. It's really a trick, a chain set. This made him angry and disappointed. In fact, the uncle police also mentioned that he didn't trust Zicheng very much.
Although the identity of the female Go teacher was discovered to surprise Zi, it was more of fear. We can see our own shadow and our own fate from others. This is the scene at the beginning of the film. In the warehouse, the calm and vicious Zicheng kills a director, then puts it in an oil drum and sinks into the sea. Now that the female teacher is covered in blood, Li Zicheng may never have thought about his fate when he deals with others. At that moment, he was really scared, afraid that he would end up with the killed director or even the female teacher. So he raised his gun, pointed at her, and shot a bullet. Finished it for her.
In fact, the identity of the Go teacher is very interesting. It's completely a metaphorical theme. Life is like chess, chess is like life. All kinds of helplessness, only chess players understand.
The counterattack of Hou Zicheng was shocking. In fact, he did not want Ding Qing to die, but the police hoped that Ding Qing would die, and Zicheng hesitated until the bad news of his wife's miscarriage came. Now he has no worries. I have to say that this game of chess by the police is really wonderful. It takes the advantage of the fisherman and hardly needs to move a soldier. Play some tricks, engage in infighting, and the gang will fall apart. This trick is really ruthless. But the mantis catches the cicada and the oriole is behind. Zicheng figured it out. Instead of being pushed around by you, it's better to stand on your own and start again. Anyway, you paved the road, and mine is what you hope for today. But from the beginning to the end, he hated being manipulated and exploited the most. Ding Qing died, Ding Qing gave him hope and freedom. Ding Qing told him to be cruel, only cruel can survive. Thus, Zicheng began to "kill". To live a stable life, we must eradicate future troubles. Killing kills anyway, it is better to kill the police together, so that no one knows his identity, and the world is peaceful.
This is an undercover counterattack. A good game is not as good as a good game, but a good game always loses its energy, and if you live, you still have to be harder.
Li Zicheng can't say that he is deeply hidden, he just carefully hides his identity and feelings. But he is a man of temperament. We say that the times make heroes, perhaps Li Zicheng is like that. The police's hopes were shattered, one gang was crushed, and the other rose again. You thought you had settled everything, but in the end you lost. Life is unpredictable. This feels a little bit like Du Qifeng.
Ding Qing
had to talk about this role. First is the actor Huang Zhengmin. I watched "Happiness" by him and Lin Xiujing before. I always think that Huang Zhengmin is a very refined man. In this film, his appearance is slightly sloppy, and he is completely a big brother. Wearing sunglasses, stinky, pretending to be cool, always bluffing, looks very naive in front of Zicheng. But from these squabbles, he found that the relationship between him and Zicheng was very good. Maybe he didn't regard Zicheng as a subordinate at all, but just a brother. Some small details. Such as buying a watch. Zicheng said it was a fake, but then Ding Qing said to buy him a real one next time. Ding Qingzhen bought it as a couple's watch. Zicheng should be sad. Ding Qing really treated him like a brother.
Ding Qing really lied to everyone. He looked like a careless and innocent guy, but he was cruel and cruel, as can be seen from his handling of the undercover. But he let Zicheng go. Ding Qing is ruthless, but not sinister. Section Chief Jiang told him that the police would help him get rid of Zhang Zhongjiu. He is not really stupid, so he shouldn't be manipulated by others. He wants to be the president, according to his own ability. Who knows what medicine is sold in the police gourd. He cannot be fooled. It can be seen from this that Ding Qing is very scheming, and also very affectionate. He wants to compete fairly with Zhang Zhongjiu. As soon as the police intervened, the matter became more chaotic.
Chinese hackers are really blind. Huang Zhengmin's Chinese is really bad. I don't know if this film can be released in China. There are many "Chinese elements" in the film. But no matter how scheming Ding Qing was, he couldn't beat the chess game of Chief Jiang. The muddy water was already gone, and the thief ship was on board. Therefore, Section Chief Jiang planned to use Zhang Zhongjiu's hand to get rid of Ding Qing. But Ding Qing is not dead. It's a little drag. Maybe it's to express the complicated mood. But Ding Qing is really ruthless. In these years, how to be a big brother without ruthlessness, in the elevator, there are so many people alone in the elevator. A second before he was orchestrated the lives and deaths of others, and in this second, he became a prisoner of death. Life is full of irony.
Ding Qing can also be regarded as a man of spine. There is no trickery, and the pair is more open. But to be honest, as he himself said, it is really a one in ten million chance. If he survives, how can he let Zicheng go? In fact, he knew that he was about to die, so it would be better to complete the whole child. Let Zicheng be the next him, as a continuation.
Section Chief Jiang is
really the ultimate boss, but only one step away. In response to the words in the Dream of Red Mansions, the agency was too clever to calculate Qingqing's life. Hey, it's hard to say in one word. Section Chief Jiang is really a strategizing and decisive role. But he himself knew that he had forced Zicheng to have no retreat, and Zicheng had no retreat. He also hoped that Zicheng could be free from it, and he even sympathized with Zicheng.
However, it has already begun, and it will never end. People are really in the rivers and lakes, and they can't help themselves. But those who come out will have to pay it back sooner or later. Section Chief Jiang's tactics have reached the realm of sophistication, and I once sighed secretly for his good game of chess. Killing two birds with one stone is very insidious and cunning. Quietly, he played the two gang leaders between his palms. Don't blame him, people can't help themselves in the arena. He is also a policeman.
In fact, I always can't distinguish Choi Minsik, Song Kanghao and Kim Yunseok. Cui Minzhi fits this kind of old-fashioned role. The previous "War with Criminals" was pretty amazing. This time it did not disappoint.
Lee Sung Jae, Cui Min Zhi, Huang Zhengmin, this iron triangle presents us with a different infernal affairs.
Zhang Zhongjiu is
also quite interesting. Compared with Ding Qing, he is a stronger, more ostentatious, sharp-edged kind. He doesn't even put the police in his eyes at all. But Section Chief Jiang is not afraid of him. How should I put it, Zhang Zhongjiu also has some friendship with Ding Qing. When someone asked him what Ding Qing would do. He smiled and said, eat first. Perhaps, he does not intend to get rid of Ding Qing. Only after the police intervened, he had to fall into the trap.
PS: The poster is actually very interesting. three people. A scheming big boss. Brother Diaosi in sunglasses. And the counterattack undercover who hid deeply in the end with his eyebrows and expressions hidden forever.
Huang Zhengmin's arrogant look is actually not handsome, a little abnormal, especially when killing people. This role was played alive by him, just like Jin Yunshi in "The Yellow Sea", too deep into the play, a little shuddering. However, Lee Jung-jae finally won the position of chairman in a handsome suit with a straight suit. He was really handsome and had a strong aura.
So be it. This film did not disappoint me. On the contrary, I like it very much.
In fact, this film made me think inexplicably <
========================= I
think of the "Drug War" a while ago, there can be a different ending, after twists and turns, drug dealers are still being rectified Up. But Korean movies are so good. They don’t have Shenma radio and TV, and without Shenma review films, everything is possible.
