Even the worst thief is human

Originally, I was very repugnant to commercial films. Needless to say, the huge amount of money invested in them was essentially shot for the entertainment of the public, and ordinary viewers would naturally pay great attention to the big-name stars in them. At the very beginning, I also watched "New Police Story" with this casual attitude. My concept made me always want to change the channel when I see the old-fashioned plot, but I gradually felt it from it. A wave of human affection comes, this is not hypocritical to deceive the audience, but can really impact people who are indifferent today. The pursuit of love.

I would like to discuss this film from two positions.

The plot of the swelling and burning of human feelings is what we can see superficially. Police Chen and his girlfriend have experienced the test of life and death. Among them, they are very indifferent to each other's lives. The woman just wants Chen to be able to tell the truth. Love yourself, this is enough, even if you give up your precious life, as long as your hearts are closely connected, death becomes so trivial, the woman chose to end her own life, not to implicate Chen police, then we Feeling the greatness of love, is there anything beyond it, hardships and hardships, no, love has set up an impregnable fortress ahead for these.

Love is important, but the power of friendship is still comparable to it. Nine of Chen's best friends died in a mission, and Chen's responsibility cannot be shied away, but he has been protecting them from beginning to end. In order to save them, He can beg the criminals to kneel for mercy, and in order to save them from the scene of the impending explosion, he can desperately rather than run first. After that, he indulged in the corrupt life of alcohol, and even lost the dignity that a policeman should have.

Family affection can transcend the bottom line of morality. Xiaofeng's father went to the convenience store to steal food in order to feed his hungry son. In the end, when he was chased by the police, he was unfortunately hit by an oncoming truck in the middle of the road. The sad boy ran to his father and wept sadly. According to common sense, the thief who should have been arrested and brought to justice has died. This is what he deserved. Afterwards, he continued to comfort the boy who lost his father and helped him return to his home. It is an indisputable fact that all criminals in the face of the law should bow their heads and confess their guilt. Aren't the criminals human, and aren't hot blood flowing in their veins? Even if the yardstick of the law is strict, it still cannot be separated from the siege of human feelings. Under the indifferent rules, so many helpless eyes refuse tears and do stupid actions. The subjective right and objective errors cannot be determined. This kind of problem can only be left to the relevant judicial personnel. Think about it!



The opposite still exists, and it is the tragedy brought about by the loss of human feelings. A few teenagers who are keen on games, driven by financial interests, have gradually inflated their evil desires, robbed banks, killed countless people, and did not have the slightest remorse. Police Chen failed again and again at their feet. But all crimes have a root. The plot mentioned that the parents of these teenagers are upper-level personnel in the business world or other groups. Pampering is the reason for their rampant rampage. When their crimes cannot be covered up again, they start to escape. In reality, refusing to see their family members, the conscience of the abominable criminals here still exists, and it goes without saying what the consequences will be when the crime is placed in front of the parents. In fact, they still condemn it in their hearts, and they are vaguely condemning the spread of the crime.

One of the fighters could have picked up the lost gun in the ocean ball pool and killed the police officer Chen who was calling the police in front, but he heard the other party say, come and save him, he lost too much blood, and it would be too late if he didn't save him. . The boy put down the gun that could not carry the sin, and he wept full of remorse. Compared to the first half of the film, the two hooligans can't even write the words of regret, which has been well sublimated!

"I gave you 20,000 yuan, and you killed my dad!" What a fucking idiot, grandson, if you can say this, you can imagine that the space in the hearts of a few boys is all reserved for money and no love. Ah Zu saw that his brother was dragging him down and shot him. Seeing that his girlfriend was injured and dying, the implementation of the plan was delayed, and her life was ended with a few shots. Daniel Wu looks mild-mannered followed by a stabbing, a performance that pervades all of his films of this type. Sometimes good and sometimes bad, the good hides the bad, the bad reveals the good, hanging on you.



The plot of the culprit, Ah Zhu, does not change. He was surrounded by police on the rooftop. His ruthless father came to beg him to surrender. At this moment, the psychological struggle became more and more agitated. exacerbated his despair. There was no bullet in the gun that was picked up, what was not put in, what was deliberately discarded, not a small bullet, but the redemption of conscience, return to the embrace of emotion, and the act of trying to perceive love!

Having said so much, I still have to admire Azu's acting skills. I think that his acting skills are the best in this film. Haha, it is not only the cold expressions and actions, but also the final When I regretted the pitiful desire for love and family affection to protect myself, for a while, Azuyin, who had just been ruthless, made this move and enriched the role!

Not all thieves aim at criminal actions, we have to think carefully about what their real purpose is and what they are for. Besides, no one wants to be handcuffed, right? Who knows that the person who killed the person may be for the survival of his wife and children. Not necessarily.

Brother Long is a little rushing in it. It's not that his ability has declined, but that he pursues changes in the characters' psychology. After all, the purpose of police and gangster films is not to make us love violence and make ourselves more and more perverted. What blood and tears want to tell us is justice and tenacity. Righteous spirit!

The police are not all serious and intimidating, they also have love, friendship and family. It's just that some cops have reasonably incorporated them into the process of dealing with criminals. The existence of many affections does not mean appeasement and indulgence, but only maintains relative fairness.
