When watching "Eastern Condor", I saw "Blood on the Street" with the Vietnam War background. In 2017, 27 years have passed. Audiences who are used to watching American blockbusters, "Blood on the Street" certainly cannot give people the visual shock of the year. There are too many plot bugs in this movie. However, for today’s point of view, it is an excellent movie because all the actors and actresses are online. When we watched too many "hand-teared devils" anti-Japanese drama today, as long as It is a movie with a real texture that can move us.
The story is not complicated. The routine of the movies in the 1990s. The three little friends who grew up together happened to encounter something in troubled times. They went to Vietnam where the war broke out to seek opportunities for life. As a result, they survived nine deaths in the war, but they caused Xiao Qiang and Li Zixiong. A Rong, who played as Jacky Cheung, put a bullet into the head of A Fai, played by Jacky Cheung. A B, played by Tony Leung, was accidentally injured by A Rong. A B was rescued by a monk and returned to Hong Kong to avenge A Fai and kill A Rong.
If you put it in the context of today's more complicated humanity story, A Rong is a remarkable person, and the film reflected in the film is too flat. First of all, Ah Rong did not commit any crimes. He chose to go to Vietnam on his own initiative. Vietnam is at war, and a small person like him will never have a chance to make a head start in Hong Kong. From this point of view, he is very ambitious, has accurate judgments about the forms around him, and has an adventurous spirit. He is not like Ah Hui and Ah B who were forced to leave Hong Kong, so his goal is also very clear, and that is money. Therefore, it is not difficult to understand how he didn't let go of the box of gold during the war.
In "One Piece" you have a classic line: Only the strong and the cowards survive on the battlefield, and the heroes will die. The realm of A Rong is probably "others laugh at me too crazy, I can't see through when I laugh at others". Obviously the goals and awakenings of the three people are different. It was Ahui and A B who didn’t understand him, or they knew what he was, but chose to close their eyes and listen. They were bound together—we came out together. , We must go back together; we are good friends since childhood, we have the blessings and the hardships. Or rather, this is the creator, and it is also a kind of obscenity of "righteousness" by the Chinese. To put it bluntly, A Rong has no obligation to be the hero you imagine, the kind of brother A Hui and A B hope.
On the battlefield, A Rong saw that when there was no chance, he took the initiative to confuse the Viet Cong. I think he is not a person without courage. To put it bluntly, he is just different from what Ahui, A B, A Le and others want. He has a clear goal and knows how to take advantage of opportunities. What is depressing is that he met Ahui and others, so he became the negative character No1 in the film. In a real life, this kind of person is mean and mean, but it’s hard to say who used it. After all, he earned this box of gold at his own expense, and A B and A Hui didn’t know what to do in Vietnam from start to finish. , There seems to be no other goal except to hide in the murder case and wait for the calm to go back. If this is the case, why do you have to choose Vietnam? When they arrived in Vietnam, their first goal was to take the Hong Kong singer who was trapped there back to Hong Kong, and for this reason they would not hesitate to kill the boss who was going to trade at that time. In real life, does such a goalless adventure really exist? Use your own life to make a foolish adventure. When they found that A Rong was not the same as them for the sake of Jin Jin, they did not take the opportunity to give up A Rong decisively. On the battlefield, Ahui risked his death and went back to find A Rong, and blocked a shot for him, but A Rong shot a bullet into his head. All of this cannot be placed in the category of human nature. This is also the biggest bug in the whole show. It seems that except for A Rong who is from the real world, the rest are all imaginary heroes. Their heroism is inexplicable, and revenge seems to be untenable. In the movie, A Rong has never lost. What's the point of being killed by Ah B besides being so happy?
Really deadly friendship, or "brother loyalty" as we Chinese often say, should at least be built on a certain degree of understanding of each other, and common goals in certain areas, and we have worked hard together for this. For example, the "righteousness" in "One Piece" is trust. Although the dreams are different, they go in the same direction. After watching "Blood on the Street", in addition to the gun battle burning hormones-of course, it is not burned at this level. The movie itself is not ugly, but as for the characters, he is really wronged by A Rong, he just wants to be a The villain who made a fortune in war, these heroes, ah, positive people, why can't he let him go?
It is said that Tony Leung felt that he performed too hard in this film and he was not very satisfied, but as an audience member, I was really satisfied. Uncle is very restrained in all the movies. Good people are also depressed, and bad guys are even more abnormally depressed. Only this movie is the only indulgent and open-hearted performance I watched him. Especially in the scene in which the Viet Cong forced them to kill people for fun, both Liang and Zhang showed the characters' personalities incisively and vividly. Ah B is stuck by his identity as “big brother”. He naturally feels that he has the obligation to be a big brother and shelter his little brother, but he does not see that in the environment of war, his life is like grass, and his personal ability is limited; and Ahui is actually a man. A naturally kind and innocent child, the eldest brother is what he says. Because he is not loved, he cherishes his friendship with A B. He also shows his personality to protect the borrowed money on the wedding night, but these two characters are right. He lacks knowledge of his abilities. Only A Rong is the only one who knows that he is selfish or shameless. He is the only person who has no feelings about the female singer’s encounters. All of this shows that he is better than him. A bit sober. The battlefield was not suitable for people who were kind enough to kill, but they miscalculated the environment. Regardless of whether it is A B or A Hui, in fact, doing something in their hometown and becoming a veteran one day is their best way back. Only people like A Rong and A Le belong to the battlefield.
2020.4.20 Unified reply to the comment area: The foothold of film reviews is not to affirm A Rong’s evil, but whether a good person’s “good” can be used to change a wicked person’s “evil”, personal choice, or natural anti-social personality Can it really be changed by the so-called "righteous people"? What qualifications do they have to decide the choices of others?
If it is said that justice and evil are inherently incompatible, then why can't they be forgotten in the arena? "Good" does not determine the "good" of the world. "Evil" also has the right to survive. Not all evil needs to be influenced by good.
