Reality and detachment

To Qifeng's movies, I always feel that there is some warmth. For example, "True Hero" and "Gunfire", I think there is a kind of atmosphere, this kind of atmosphere makes people feel very warm. "Dark War", my favorite places are the two places where Andy Lau and Meng Jiahui met. Both times were in the car, the police officers with guns looked solemn, and the police lights were spinning flickering and dimming. I also like the music here. Music gives people a sense of sadness, but without losing romance, with a doomsday color.

In my opinion, those police officers are a symbol of reality, and each of us must face it. And Andy Lau, as a person whose life is about to come to an end, he can choose to use his life as a bet and make the last drama to reality. There are always so many rules and regulations in reality, and whether you like it or not, you can't get rid of it. There are so many stupid and ridiculous things in reality, but they are actually happening, and you have to face them. For example, the police chief played by Huang XX is so timid and fearful, but he still blames others for everything; there is also the manager who never forgets to hide his money even when he goes to the police station. These directors are presented in a comedy way. But isn't our life just trapped in such trivialities? We always live in such trivialities.

And Andy Lau is obviously a smart person. At the end of his life, he could not care about anything, and chose to have a game-like duel with Liu Qingyun, who is also a master, in order to complete a mockery of the police or reality. This is the most essential confrontation and confrontation, because many confrontations and confrontations are not two-sided, but actually contain many factors.
In life, there are always so many people doing something persistently. They are cautious and diligent, just like those police officers with guns. However, what is the significance of these things? In the end, life is nothing but nothing. We are also bound by reality, and life is a net. In fact, we are all people who are living in the last days, but we can't live as smart and cheerful as Andy Lau.

Andy Lau left the necklace to the strange woman and donated the money to the cancer fund. He is actually a kind person, and the pure love between him and Meng Jiahui, all these make me have more beautiful dreams about life.
