Obviously, "New World" will be regarded as a continuation of the undercover theme of "Infernal Affairs", and it will also be compared with a series of films such as "Infernal Affairs". The film revisited the fate of undercover agents whose lives were hanging by a thread, and used internal gang contention prefixes to deepen the identity tragedy of specific characters in this type of film. Hong Kong "Infernal Affairs" is exquisite, with a neat suit, romantic and lyrical. "Infernal Affairs" is rough and the streets are dirty, messy, and very sudden. In the face of such jewels and jade, Koreans have not been bound by their hands and feet, and have made innovations again, and they dare not think about it. The audience will also be surprised to find that the gangsters in the film are surrounded by younger brothers, which resemble the exquisiteness of "Infernal Affairs". The movie also strengthens the violence of "Infernal Affairs", the horror scenes such as the decapitation of the dead body, and bloody violence. . Add in many key Chinese elements: Chinese identity and Mandarin dialogue, Yanbian swordsmen and Chinese hackers... Korean films without censorship not only completely get rid of Hong Kong films, but are still much higher than the overall level of Chinese-language films. Compared with Kitano Takeshi's "Very Evil" series, Japanese gang films have their own style. Uncle Yakuza would only crook his neck and yell at the Falun strangely and once again, and then said that fighting, killing and killing is already outdated, and you must see through the nature of the gang. The character structure of "The New World" is clearly traceable. It is deeply influenced by Hong Kong movies. There are speed cars and psychological warfare, step by step, in pursuit of exciting stories and commercial entertainment. One of the major innovations of "New World" is that it becomes a new world. For example, people have thought that the tragic undercover agent may be able to stand out, and that ignorant female college students will inevitably fall in love with traitors. As for whether they can complete the task, that has been forgotten. However, most screenwriters and directors are either concerned about people's sense of justice, or find it difficult to convince people with reason. Therefore, such breakthrough attempts are rare and only encountered by films that aim to subvert the funny. Recalling the first time Ding Qing appeared, Li Zicheng went to the airport to greet him. This eldest brother has the flirtatious appearance of a nouveau riche in the cottage, first he doesn't show his true colors (sunglasses), and then he laughs and makes a fool of himself, which is very funny. Such behavior can't help but convince people: He is an idiot and duo, thanks to his brothers, he can get the top spot. However, in front of Li Zicheng, Ding Qing showed trust, respect, and extreme politeness. He didn't even dare to touch him, so he could only use other brothers to do things many times. Obviously, the ingenuity of "New World" lies in the huge contrast between the character's character and the destiny before and after. If the contrast change is not prepared, "New World" will not be able to be compiled in the end. Of course, the audience can imagine for themselves what happened to Ding Qing and Li Zicheng (the movie also has a passage from the past at the end), and it has appeared many times Body language also proves that Ding Qing does have enough reasons to let Li Zicheng go, and does not even rule out that this is love beyond brotherhood—just like a foreigner interprets Wu Yusen's movies. Coincidentally, the female roles in this movie are almost negligible, just as Li Zicheng cares more not about his wife, but about the child who is about to be born. Ding Qing's circumflexion is so long, from confronting the police to clearing the undercover, from being scared in the parking lot to being killed in the parking lot. The cruelty he broke out and the performance of a group of enemies were shocking, shocking and unexpected. The character has changed from a single dimension to a multi-dimensional, three-dimensional at once. The audience will gradually transition from "how can he do this" surprise to "why did he do this" thinking. If you want to see the style of a movie clearly, then in the closed elevator section, rotating and shaking the wide-angle lens, Ding Qing started a tragic battle between the trapped beasts, "New World" obviously exaggerated Ding Qing's heroism performance, which is also " The overall style and tone of New World. It is impossible for Ding Qing not to know the consequences of letting go of Li Zicheng. He chose self-destruction to fulfill Li Zicheng, and told him to be cruel and let him become another self. Li Zicheng's transformation was not deliberate. He has been struggling with undercover status and is on the verge of collapse. To be more precise, he was pushed to the final position by the current situation. He can take a crucial step, and the promotion is all from his elder brother Ding Qing. In terms of gangs, "New World" arranges four categories of characters with rich levels. The one who didn't write bad words on his face was the cruel Ding Qing. The man who wrote bad words on his face was the aggressive Li Zhongjiu. The incompetent old guy, headed by the second master, and a few other obsessive old muddleheads, standard cannon fodder. The tragic undercover police, including Li Zicheng and other undercover members with miserable fate, revealed that there is no way out when undercover-unless it is blacked out. Recalling the opening scene, when Li Zicheng and his men tortured Director Cui if they were helping the police, this scene was also extremely ironic. Just as Li Zhongjiu knew that the police wanted to borrow a knife, he still acted as a knife for slaughter and being slaughtered. Different from the gang with thick ink and big pen, the film's performance to the police is extremely bleak, lacking in ability, and stretched out. Section Chief Jiang doesn't agree with people. The gang is so powerful that there is no arrangement for undercover to the police, and he doesn't put the other party in his eyes at all. As for police secrets, money can cause ghosts to grind, and if you offer "red guest", the police will go round and round, and in the end, they will be strangled at a fixed point, leaving no one behind. In the movie world of "The New World", the gangs cover the sky with only one hand and completely control the initiative of the rules of the game. If you compare "Chill", which played the top game inside the police, the so-called best screenplay of the decade is simply a colander. . "New World" is not smart, either, leaving an open ending, innocent and indebted. If you want to play, you can play to the end, which is breathtaking. 【Nandu Weekly】
