Some movies, no matter how many times you watch them, you will feel fresh and will not feel bored; some actors, every time they appear, every shot is so chic and charming. Perhaps the movies and actors that confirm these two sentences must be the "Heroes" series, and at that time Leslie Cheung, Chow Yun-fat, and Ti Lung really interpreted what is charming! My first contact with movies started with Hong Kong movies. I have been fascinated by the video format of movies since I was in elementary school. I will use all the pocket money I save to buy VCD discs. I am reluctant to buy snacks. This is where the fate begins. At that time, I first came into contact with Hong Kong films. At that time, only films of Andy Lau, Stephen Chow, Chow Yun-fat, and Tony Leung would buy them. At that time, I started to like SIPG films. The "Heroes" series has become one of my favorite Hong Kong movies. Looking back now, I have watched this movie more than 10 times, and I feel excited every time I watch it. This is also a representative work of Hong Kong movies in the prosperous period. Since Hong Kong movies entered the mainland market and merged, the charm of real Hong Kong movies has long been gone. It is gratifying. With the age change of a big wave of actors, it is also difficult to perform the passionate emotions of the year. Up.
A good movie needs to have a sense of integration with the background of the times. Take "The True Colors of Heroes" as an example. If it is filmed now, it is estimated that it is difficult to shoot such a taste. Hong Kong gangs, counterfeit banknote syndicates, undercover agents, and the background of the times are destined to be full of enthusiasm. At that time, most Hong Kong movies lasted around 90-100 minutes, and the tight time would inevitably speed up the plot, and would not appear to be lengthy. However, if the director's skills were not deep enough, the story would often be incomplete. And Wu Yusen is a master of storytelling. In just a few minutes (with subtitles) in the opening of "The True Colors of Heroes", the story background of the film is explained. Several shots of counterfeit banknotes are made, the dialogue between Xiao Ma Ge and Song Zihao, Song Zihao and the hospital bed. The dialogue of the father of Shanghai gave the audience the roles of the three protagonists. The beginning of this film is undoubtedly a good reference to the model of Hollywood movies. In addition, there are several starring actors in the film, Leslie Cheung, Chow Yun-fat and Ti Lung. The three partners are undoubtedly the biggest highlight of the film. Ti Lung is the oldest. The main force in the Shaw Brothers movies in the early morning is no longer handsome and handsome, but his tall body and slightly vicissitudes of face add a bit of heroism. "The True Colors of Heroes" must be his perfection before he retires. Works too. At that time, Chow Yun-fat and Leslie Cheung were at the time of the big hits, superb acting skills and handsome faces are hard to imagine! There are too many classic shots in the series of movies. Chow Yun-fat performed the gesture of holding a toothpick in his mouth. The loyalty of Xiao Ma and Song Zihao has infected many of you, me and others. The shooting scene of the gunfight. The combined motion and static motion of the camera makes a gun battle film so contagious and impactful.
The main reason why I like "The True Colors of Heroes" is caused by the decline of Hong Kong movies. Movies are a kind of work of art. It is not easy to firmly grasp the audience in just two hours. thing. It's like you watched a good movie today, but a few days later you saw a good movie. The former is easily replaced by the latter, and it is a high-level species with personal feelings. Nowadays, film technology is constantly innovating. Nowadays, both the visual effects and sound effects of movies are better than before. Everyone will feel the same. Nowadays, which movie is not bright in color and perfect in special effects! The old film now looks dim and the sound effects are seriously damaged. But film is a kind of art, which comes from life and is higher than life. After all, the emotional attributes of human beings are still innate. It’s also a cop movie. Let’s look at the current Hong Kong movies. "Storm 3D", "Chill" and "Anti-Drug" are the masterpieces of Hong Kong movies in recent years. After watching them, a lot of super shocking explosions What else can you see after the fighting scene? The answer is obvious. The core part of the movie is these so-called big scenes. The plot is only an auxiliary. So there is a kind of Hong Kong movies that are less and less of the taste of Hong Kong movies. If there is no proper and reasonable emotional lining, even no matter how exaggerated, the amazing special effects blasting will not impress the audience. Just like the "Storm 3D" of the Lunar New Year file last year, pseudo 3D will not be mentioned here. The theme of the promotion It was "turning Hong Kong into a battlefield." In the final explosion scene of the film, the entire Central Ring was blown up. I want to say, is this really good? Even if the visual effects are passed, what's the point? What's the purpose of this arrangement? Several bandits used such powerful heavy weapons to blow up Hong Kong. Is this arrangement reasonable? Is it logical? Even with exceptions, what does such a screenwriter want to tell the audience? Do you want to tell them that your surroundings are not safe? Obviously these so-called big scenes have nothing to do with the development of the plot, but they are just afraid that the audience will not enter the theater without the big scenes! The plot of the movie is like life, it must be logical, otherwise it will be made into a science fiction movie. The sentiment and righteousness exuded in "The True Colors of Heroes" is the continuation of people's emotions. Even though such big ups and downs will not happen in our lives, our emotions are here, and we can imagine if we were Xiao Ma. We are Song Zihao, we are Ajie, and we will do the same. Obviously, the show of family and friendship in the movie touched us and infected us.
Regardless of whether the brother is still there, whether the Hong Kong movie has sunk, with "The True Colors of a Hero", with Xiao Ma, with Hao, with Ajie, our passionate emotion has been vented once, and this emotion belongs to us. of.
