An era of real guns and live ammunition

Watching this movie is still holding the mentality of making up lessons, wanting to see how charming the legendary Chow Yun-fat is and how classic the hero is.
Unexpectedly, the next one is indeed the second one.
In fact, Hong Kong gangster movies have indeed come to an end. It’s just that they went crazy when it came to Infernal Affairs. After a lot of imitating, trying to follow suit, they made the undercover meal worse.
Due to the limitation of the time, the heroes' true colors seem to me that those big figures have been in contact with Bai Dao for so long. Leslie Cheung can stand well even if he is unconscious after two shots, but he can predict it when he can speak soberly. The aura is exhausted, the red paint is too pure, even the gunshots are like inherited from the Anti-Japanese War, and so on. Maybe it's because our time has become more developed and the audience has become more and more critical, that makes me have such a complaint. After all, if I can still be happy after watching movies so many years ago, doesn't it mean that we have not developed at all in these years? Either the thinking is too advanced, and it is more likely that the thinking has not progressed at all.
There is so much talk about it, and it is still a classic of that era. In front is my unreasonable harassment from HIGH.

However, such an era of real guns and live ammunition cannot be replicated.
Although today's high technology can create another planet, it can never create such a sincere brotherhood.
If I go to the remake now, I might not believe the so-called true feelings it creates. I think a large part of the core of Hong Kong police and gangster movies at that time was righteousness. There is no need to say more about the reason for the confrontation, because you are my buddy.
Should we start with human nature now? This war between people is eternal.

Zhou Yunfa is a natural big brother temperament, he has a magical power to convince him.
Of course, the biggest benefit of this movie is that I fell in love with my brother.
Especially when he heard his wife's narration about his daughter before he died, and he turned his head back to tell Chow Yun-fat word by word, it was revealed in his expression.
I won't say any more praise. I don't disgust myself anymore.

    The completion of the script is average, and the sense of rhythm and excitement are far inferior to the previous ones. It seems that in order to continue the blockbuster sequel, the screenwriter of Fage is too popular and has to use the twin old stalks. The only exciting things are the hot scene of the trio's massacre at the end and the scene of lying on the sofa hand in hand. The metaphor of falling meteors, Song Zijie is definitely a good policeman, good brother and good citizen in the eyes of others, but he is definitely not a good husband to his wife.

    The last three people sitting on the sofa have always been in my memories
