classic work

I have always heard that this is Du Qifeng's classic work, and I finally found it today. Fans who know Director Du have already explained this film in great detail. But after watching it, I really like this film, and I always feel uncomfortable with some thoughts.

The main color of the whole film is light blue. It seems to lay the main theme of this film, with a touch of sadness and shallow warmth. The secret battle is not as heavy and desperate as the dark flower. It is said that Du Qifeng's film has a strong sense of fate, and this one is no exception, but the secret battle is more to express a kind of saying that the sky cannot be controlled by others, and my life is controlled by nature. Andy Lau has only four weeks of life left from the very beginning. But for the past four weeks, he did not choose to do a dying struggle in the hospital, but chose revenge. So he can meet a respectable opponent, a lovely confidant in the last time of his life.

As an action movie, Dark War is very rhythmic. From the very beginning of the subtitles, there is no background music, only clear footsteps. Arouse people's curiosity and flustered. It is very interesting to loosen and tighten the rhythm of the whole film. Compared with the second one, it is a Pacific Ocean. This movie does not blindly create tension, but tension is inherently self-evident. The initial negotiation established that this is a contest between masters and masters.

I especially like the various BGMs of secret combat. Galaxy image is really a master.

As an action suspense film, it can also come with a variety of cute smile points, which is simply a profit. Huang Qifa is simply the laughter of the whole film. "I am Chief Inspector Huang Qifa of the Crime Squad. I am in charge of your case." Since He Shangzhi dismissed him for talking too much, every time Sir Huang said this, I wanted to laugh. Especially still very serious. In the end, Huang Qifa throws a bowling ball and almost threw him out. Liu Qingyun's helpless and embarrassed expression made him feel like he didn't know him from now on. It's absolutely unbelievable, you deserve to be the actor.

The biggest feature of Director Du's film is the portrayal of human nature, and the shallow strokes in this film are particularly profound. The manager of the finance company sighed while facing the entanglement of two stacks of money in the toilet. And when I came out of the office and wanted to go to the toilet to get money, I finally sighed when Liu Qingyun wanted to go and didn't dare to go. In the bar, Liu Qingyun gave Hua Zai five minutes to convince herself that after various temptations failed, you have been led by me these days like a dog without a tail. I have always been pulling you away. Liu Qingyun's countdown stopped instantly. Winning him is the reason why Liu Qingyun will continue to play at the risk of the bandit's escape.

Love in the dark battle is also the finishing touch. In Director Du's films, love is always embellished, but they are all so beautiful. This one is no exception. The first encounter between Liang Wanting and Peter on the bus. Peter threatened the girl with a gun, and the girl could only do so. After the crisis was resolved, Peter got out of the car and left. But forgot the glasses worn on the girl's eyes. The girl caught up with him and returned the glasses. Maybe this is the beginning of fate. The second encounter was still on the bus. When a police car was in front of him to check the car, Liang Wanting took the initiative to take out the bag and signaled Peter to go over. Take the initiative to make a couple's gesture. The ambiguity began to flow between the two. In the end, Liang Wanting realized that it was just a false alarm and raised it in embarrassment. Peter also smiled faintly, and the two sat until the last stop. In the bar, Wanting Liang introduced herself excitedly, hoping to extend this fate, but Peter said it was a pity that she did not have time. Liang Wanting asked what if there was time, but Peter spewed a mouthful of blood into the cup, and Liang Wanting was shocked. Perer said sorry to stand up and leave.

At the end of the film, He Shangsheng ran into Liang Wanting on the bus. Liang Wanting mentioned Peter's Ruoyuowu smile is so beautiful.
