"Drug War" 8 points, once you understand the meaning behind it, you will naturally be in a cold sweat.
First of all, I will talk about this movie regardless of its advantages and disadvantages. If I can give 8 points, it is naturally a rhythm to blow up. It is very rare to have such a strong expression in the framework of such a commercial type film. Therefore, as long as you see Wei Jiahui + Johnnie To, you can say that this film is half successful. According to the three films directed by Johnnie To, the screenwriter of Wei Jiahui in the past: "Big Man Has Great Wisdom" (7.5), "Detective" (8.0), "Drug War" (8.0) In my own latitude, it is a good film with a score of 7.5 or more.
To interpret the meaning behind "Drug War", we must first have a basic understanding of a series of events and characters that occurred in Hong Kong after 1997.
Behind the role of Louis Koo represents the previous Hong Kong chief executives, the seven Hong Kong people represent ordinary Hong Kong people, and the powerful Sun Honglei represents the mainland government. According to such a character relationship, it is very clear to watch such a movie.
As the key link between the seven Hong Kong drug dealers and the mainland anti-drug police (the Hong Kong drug dealer who was conspired against), Louis Koo relies on the interests of constantly selling out Hong Kong drug dealers to get alms from Sun Honglei. Many of the transition scenes in the film use surveillance cameras as the first shot of the transition, as well as the monitor that Sun Honglei gave to Gu Tianle, who asked Gu Tianle to monitor the dialogue between the drug factory and the Hong Kong drug dealer.
Gu Tianle's every move was under the supervision of Sun Honglei, but just before the primary school shootout, Gu Tianle chose not to help Sun Honglei, but instead provoked a gunfight between Hong Kong drug dealers and mainland anti-drug police. However, after the mainland anti-drug police eliminated Hong Kong drug dealers, Gu Tianle was naturally unable to protect himself. But in this series of "events"
After the incident, the irreconcilable contradiction between Hong Kong drug dealers and mainland anti-drug police reached an extreme, and the result was that they both perished. Although it was said that they perished together, Koo Tianle, who thought he was smart, was always unable to fight against the anti-drug forces in the mainland, and died on the death row. So far, all the drug dealers in Hong Kong have been eliminated.
This is a movie that requires mainlanders to change their perspectives to think. Especially after the "Occupy Central", mainlanders who have always watched and thought from a single perspective, need to see and think about it.
Director To Qifeng used such a film to preview the process of the entire Hong Kong being gradually swallowed up.
This "Drug War" can be watched together with NHK's two documentaries "Hong Kong's "Occupy Central" 75 Days" and "The Future of Hong Kong's Youth "Paratroopers", which will also allow mainland audiences to understand the changes in Hong Kong over the years. People should also adjust their views on some issues in Hong Kong.
The whole "Drug War" made me feel very pessimistic after reading it, and the last story about Hong Kong is the end of the article.
The son asked his father: After the return, will we Hong Kong people lose our jobs and how will we make money in the future?
The father pointed to the kitchen and said to his son: "There is a piece of meat in the refrigerator in the kitchen, son, go and bring it to me."
The son obediently ran to the kitchen, took out a piece of greasy fat from the refrigerator and brought it to his father.
Dad didn't change his face and said to him: You can put it back.
The son looked confused but complied with his father's orders and put the meat back in the refrigerator.
Dad nods his son's hand and asks: Look what's on your hand?
The son looked down and saw the fat of the big meat left in his hands.
Dad knocked on his son's head: Get it, that's how Hong Kong will make money in the future.
