The death of A Xiao, the beginning of the decline of Hong Kong movies.
——To "Infernal Affairs 2"
After so many years, I became more convinced that in the "Infernal Affairs" series of movies, my favorite character: Ni Yongxiao.
When I read the first part, I was too young, I just wanted to know the good and evil of loyalty and evil, and I didn't even understand the meaning of "Infernal Affairs". As I get older, I realize that there is no absolute good and evil in the world, driven by human nature, sometimes death is not pain, but an end. Infinite is hell...
I just want to write about Ah Xiao in 2-the tragic hero of the era.
Some people say that 1 is a monument, 2 and 3 are making money. 3 I do not comment, 2 I personally like it very much, it is the pre-life of the story, it is a complete supplementary explanation.
A Xiao's appearance was more than a weak and bookish character, and his decisive power seemed to be insufficient. The gentle glasses and decent suits don't look like a triad at all. But the rivers and lakes are the rivers and lakes, and the inheritance of his father's underworld career is on his shoulders. Both elder brothers and younger brothers have done the right actions, and the elder sister is also married. It's not that he doesn't want to be righteous, on the contrary, he is the one he wants most. I remember that on the eve of the return of 97 in the movie, A Xiao and A Ren were talking on the rooftop. His eyes flashed when he thought that Ni’s family was about to be white. That scene dedicated my knee to Wu Zhenyu. But to achieve this goal, he has to carry forward. Probably because there is a word "filial piety" in his name. This is his armor, sweeping away all those who are unfavorable to the Ni family; this is also his weakness, and he wants to protect this big family. A few phone calls settled the four bosses overnight. It was not that he hadn't prepared in advance, which shows the depth of his city; he has been murderous since the day his father passed away, and he can still chat and laugh with the enemy, showing his tolerance; he is constantly searching for the truth of his father’s death. Creating a perfect alibi homicide certificate shows that he is thoughtful; while undercovering his illegitimate children, he has been tolerant repeatedly, showing the great love he has for his family. I think that when he was young, he also wanted to anger horses in fresh clothes, but sighed that his birth was not in time.
Ben and Han Chen can be the closest collaborators, but the hatred of killing their father is not shared. I really hate the policeman played by Huang Qiusheng. He has selfish desires and hurts others. If Mary did not kill Ni Kun, he would not be found by A Xiao, A Xiao would not avenge her father and prepare to get rid of Han Chen, and Han Chen would not set up a game to avenge Mary and kill A Xiao ( Later, the Thais killed the Ni family). After the return in 1997, all the Ni family emigrated, and Hong Kong handed it to Han Chen. Han Chen managed the underworld, and everyone was happy. Huang Sir was really the initiator, so it's no wonder that even Han Chen would kill him in the end. Why did Chen Yongren help Huang Sir as an undercover agent? I think it was also due to his love for the Ni family, the continuation of A Xiao's ideals, and his hatred for the underworld.
Look carefully, A Xiao has pushed his glasses twice, both against A Ren. Pushing glasses with this kind of gesture implies caution in psychology. One time I invited Aren to go home for a party, and one time I asked Aren to take a family photo. He should be very worried, afraid that he will not be able to let Aren into the Ni family, and finally he must solve him by himself. I think it must be wrong to say that A Xiao knew that A Ren was an undercover agent when he fell down at the last minute. He should have known it a long time ago, just don't say that he hates the police, but he loves his family more. When he discovered the bug in Aren's clothes, he definitely didn't want to pull it out, but to cover it up to prevent his brother's identity from being exposed. The tears he shed before his death may be more of a feeling that he can no longer protect the Ni family and feels helpless sadness...
A Xiao, who was definitely not the male lead originally, took away everyone's elegance because of Wu Ma's acting skills. Worthy of being an actor-level character, with every move, he portrays this tragic hero with flesh and blood. As a result, many classic shots were born: holding a cup high to pay tribute to Ni Kun who passed away, pointing to the television in the interrogation room to ask if Sir Huang was a policeman, and finally shooting at Han Chen but heading down, etc., to pay tribute to Wu Zhenyu’s acting skills. !
A Xiao is a depressed person. The only smile he showed off was at his daughter's birthday banquet, which shows that he really loves his family. Such a character that is not easy to interpret has become a classic and I love it sincerely.
"Infernal Affairs 2" is called the "Godfather of Hong Kong", it is not an exaggeration; it is called an epic gangster movie in Hong Kong, it is not an exaggeration; it is not an exaggeration to say yes, Axiao, your one-man show.
