Wong Kar-wai's films always give people the feeling of being pretentious. At best, this is called a very cultural atmosphere or a very high style. The male protagonist and the literary heroine with a high style are corresponding to the supporting roles with a very low style. In response to it, Tony brother appeared.
Friends of a certain age should be familiar with Wan Ziliang. My favorite is his eldest brother in the TV series "Giant" who is affectionate and righteous. I also love that the various villains he plays in the movie are deeply penetrating. In this film, Wan plays a role that promotes the development of the character's psychological plot. Some people think that Wan is the villain in the play. I don't think so. There are villains in Wong Kar Wai's movies? Is there a villain in East Evil and West Poison? Wong Kar-wai never says who is the bad guy, the audience decides for themselves. Personally I think Wan is normal compared to the main character in this movie.
The triad, originally, is to collect protection fees to fight girls and lead a bunch of younger brothers to pretend to be a big brother. If you have a strong sense of justice, if you are full of love, what kind of triad would you be? Why not become a policeman? Volunteering? Red Cross?
Why I think Wan is a normal triad, let's talk about it one by one. First of all, the fly borrowed Wan 8,000 and did not pay it back for four installments. Wan's solution was to ask his younger brother to find Andy to explain the situation. This is called a rule. The brothers from the same society had previously informed the other party to take the lead, and everyone sat down to discuss what to do, whether Wan's approach was very reasonable. Let's see how Andy handled it. We took the fly to Wan and said to pay back the principal first and the rest slowly. After being mocked a few times by Wan, Andy went downstairs to blackmail the casino owner. In fact, after seeing this, everyone should already know why the fly is such a disrespectful character. His eldest brother is more exaggerated than him, and his younger brother is of course messed up.
The second time, Wan teased the flies on the road to get the fish ball car impounded. The flies wrecked Wan's BMW in a fit of rage. To be honest, if it wasn't for the omnipotence of a society, he would have killed the flies directly, but Wan didn't mess around and beat him violently. After a while, I still called Andy to talk about the number. Note that this time, I asked the uncles of the two clubs to coordinate. This is still the rule. Andy is better. When the fly is injured, it doesn't matter who is first. Right after wrong, just draw a gun and let Wan's little brother cool down, still that sentence, mess! Wan rages away, anyone will rage for this kind of thing, the car is smashed, the brother is scared, who can stand it, Wan pinned the two of Andy in the alley and beat them up, and then tit for tat, the brothers in the club can fight But they couldn't kill each other, Wan took it seriously, so they let them go after the fight, and didn't mention the car thing again.
In fact, Wan's evaluation of Andy and Fly is very good. As a famous eldest brother who received settlement fees at the age of 14 (that is, he did a great thing for the club), Andy is indeed a miserable mess. Only the younger brother, Fly, is willing to follow him. , Wan and Andy are of the same status. You can see that Wan is so prosperous that Andy can't even pay back eighty thousand to his younger brother. It's better to go back to farming if you are a bastard.
If there is an accident, he will be reasonable, talk about the number, and seek justice from his grandfather and uncle. This is a smart underworld. Like Andy who uses a knife and a gun when he encounters an accident, he is really not suitable for being an underworld.
Some people think Wan is bad and bad, the underworld is of course a bad guy, I also agree that Wan is a bad guy, but Wan is a normal bad guy who doesn't pretend to be a good guy, and Andy played a bad guy in sheep's clothing, In the end, he killed himself, and the only younger brother also went to die. Asi in the play is very smart. If it is not for this material, he will do other jobs to earn money to support his family and the ending will be perfect.
