black and white

In "Police Story", evil prevails, and the evil forces are finally swept away by the police detective played by the brave Jackie Chan; in "Young and Dangerous", gangsters are slashing and killing each other in the downtown area, and there is no law enforcement officer at all. So much so that a friend asked me if Hong Kong was really so lawless. In fact, Hong Kong has both the law and the sky, but under the shroud of the law and the sky, there are indeed two opposing worlds, the so-called black and white.

After "Police Story" and "Young and Dangerous" have been neutralized in the comic and Facebook worlds, there is a world closer to reality in John To's new film "Underworld". There are good and bad, good and bad coexist. If you can't see the good, the evil must be eliminated, and of course it will not make you feel that the evil is rampant. Jiang Dawei, who plays a police officer in the film, said frankly that it is impossible to clear the underworld, but it cannot make trouble, otherwise the police will arrest people. What he said was plausible, but he didn't feel righteousness. What he felt was the bureaucratic spirit of being wise and protecting himself. The veteran of the underworld is also very confident. There are so many entertainment venues and underworld inextricably linked. What will happen if you really want to capture Hong Kong. Both sides have chips, like a game. The good and the bad are more about bargaining in this game, and finally achieve a balance that is not embarrassing for everyone.

Good and bad in the real world, no one can completely eliminate the other. The beautiful world is probably just to make the bad not to be a disaster, but it cannot make it not exist. Maybe coexistence with good hearts can lead to comparison and firmer belief in pursuing good. Maybe the existence of the devil will feel the cuteness of angels. But often devils and angels coexist, black and white are often not confrontation with clear barriers, but more of mutual penetration and blending, and finally turned into a hazy gray. Everyone is just trying to distinguish black and white in these shades of gray.
