I haven't studied it carefully, but I feel that this is Jackie Chan's relatively early film - the later ones have many designs in martial arts, but this film is relatively rare. The early things often reveal the true colors of the actors more, and the brotherhood shown in this film may be the strongest color in Jackie Chan's own feelings. Moreover, it is indeed his good brother Sammo Hung who plays Jackie Chan's brother. Sammo Hung's performance in this play is too eye-catching. He plays a demented person vividly, and uses his strong appearance to show the heart, expression and thoughts of children. , It doesn't make people feel like a normal person is acting stupid. The brotherhood of Artest, played by Jackie Chan, in the play—even sacrificing his girlfriend (fortunately, not too much) to help his brother, coincides with his own thoughts and personality outside the film. Here, I have to pity and admire Lin Fengjiao, the sacrifice she has made far exceeds that of Jackie Chan's girlfriend in the play.
There are also two interesting points in this play:
one is the conflict between Artest's ideal and reality. In the face of the reality that he has to take care of his brother, the sailor dream he carries is regretful and sympathetic, and even the opportunity he has had to give up. Today, when most people are struggling to make a living, this helplessness may resonate with many audiences.
There is another one, which is also mentioned by a friend, Artest's final choice - should he follow his reason and do his duty as a policeman, or release his emotions and take risks to rescue his brother? Artest, or Jackie Chan, chose the latter. He was willing to take risks and be punished even if he succeeded. In this regard, I think there are similarities with the real Jackie Chan. Similar emotions and choices have also been shown in Jackie Chan's other relatively new film "The Lost City of Secret Agents". The actor played by Jackie Chan must save the girl he likes (Xu Ruoxuan) and perform some sacred task (it seems to save a lot of people). He made a choice between them, but he still chose what he wanted to do most in his heart (insert a sentence, comparing these two choices, in Jackie Chan's heart, being a brother must be more important, while being a woman may be closer to interpretation). In fact, such a choice will not disappoint people at all. After all, we are just ordinary people, and we cannot always be noble. Such a choice just follows human nature and is empathetic and reasonable. What's more, there are already so many choices in life that we have to make, and there are so many things that go against our hearts, let us make up for it once in the movie theater, plus a happy happy ending, what's wrong? ?
