Beyond changing faces, Lao Wu will become a master!

Although many people have regarded Wu Yusen as a master of violent aesthetics, I always feel that he is still a little bit close. I can't tell how big a point is. In short, it feels like that. I hope "Red Cliff" can make me respectfully call Master Wu once.

In the Hong Kong film world, Lao Wu’s pinnacle works are actually "Blood Two Heroes", "Gun God" and "Across the World", while in the United States, there are only three that can be said to be cool, "Ultimate Target" and "Broken Arrow". With "Change Face", these three parts come in sequence, and the level is soaring. After "Change Face", Lao Wu begins to go downhill, and there is no other work that surpasses "Change Face". It is a pity!

The filming techniques of "Changing Face", the actor's ease of retraction, the compactness of the script, the entanglement of the characters and the entanglement of the characters make the whole drama tight, which makes people mesmerized and exhales after watching all the way.

The reason why I did not regard Lao Wu as a master because of "Changing Faces" may be because the two male protagonists of "Changing Faces" are really wonderful, basically because of their peak performance, which is really amazing. , This light somewhat obscured Lao Wu's contribution in the movie.
