Friends with four or five stars, you may not know the history of Hong Kong at that time! Don't talk about nationalism at every turn, it's really not a good thing! Let’s talk about movies first: The best Hong Kong film in the past decade? ! Personal point of view: Let’s talk about the film itself, the rhythm is relatively scattered, and the logic of the script and story is poor. I want a film to tell the biographies of two ''legendary'' characters at the same time, but I can't find a balance point. If you don’t get to the shore, there are too many things to express, but you can’t control the rhythm! In addition to the excellent art and a few action shootout scenes, I'm sorry for my superficial knowledge, I really can't find too many bright spots! Let's talk about the history of Hong Kong: In the late 1960s and early 1970s, Hong Kong was really dark for a while! Especially the police department, corruption, indulgence of gangs, prostitutes and gambling! Among them, Chief Inspector Lu Le (Lei Luo) is the leader and the actual boss! Don't talk about the British police officers who are behind the scenes! Nima, even the senior British police officer 'Gerber' had to avoid Lu Le by three points! ! ! Because the whole ''received'' (The police collect protection fees from the gang, and then the police give them criminal protection!) The system was invented by Lu Le! But then the social atmosphere became worse and worse, and the common people were miserable and took to the streets to demonstrate! This caught the attention of the British government, which was then determined to end this dark age! So he issued an order to the British Hong Kong government. The then Hong Kong Governor, MacLehose, proposed to set up the Independent Commission Against Corruption as a government department (not under the jurisdiction of any government department, and report directly to the Hong Kong Governor! High-ranking government officials, British aristocrats! As long as you suspect that you are corrupt, you can unconditionally invite you to drink coffee at Lao Lian!) Under the discussion of the Legislative Council, all passed and implemented! So in 1974, the British Hong Kong government established the famous ICAC! I have to say, this is definitely a great achievement in the history of Hong Kong! So far, the people of Hong Kong have a consensus: "The ICAC is the foundation of Hong Kong's development!" Because the ICAC has cleaned up Hong Kong's ethos of corruption in just a few years after its establishment! Just like a good doctor diagnoses a disease and pinpoints the chronic diseases of various government agencies, Hong Kong has truly ushered in a golden age of incorruptibility, successfully achieved a historic transformation from chaos to cure, and has become the most incorruptible in the world. one of the regions! The ICAC has been fascinated in solving cases and has been able to bring down high-ranking officials many times, making corrupt elements frightened. Its anti-corruption experience has attracted global attention, and its anti-corruption model has been imitated by anti-corruption agencies around the world.
First of all, I declare that I am not a traitor, I am from Hong Kong! Saying so much is not to whitewash the British Hong Kong government, and the colonial history is not a glorious past! But some things have to be rational. The British Hong Kong government is not so incompetent! Their contribution to Hong Kong is still great. They turned a small fishing village in Bao'an County, Guangdong (forcibly colonized) into the international capital of Asia! Let it become a law-abiding, honest and law-abiding city! Of course, there was a dark period, but after that, it was able to set things right and take Hong Kong to the next level! These contributions cannot be erased! But these are never mentioned in the movie, all I hear is how brutal and incompetent the British Hong Kong government is, all kinds of tyranny, and the people's lives are ruined and chaotic! But Lai Luo was portrayed as a person who could not help himself, because he was forced by senior British officials to do this series of corruption, prostitution and gambling! Nima... Lame Hao was metaphorically portrayed as a national hero who dared to fight against the tyranny of the British colonies! (Many friends have repeatedly emphasized in the comment area that the lame man killed the British only for personal revenge! Well, then please tell me why you forcibly add such a sentence when avenging personal revenge Lines with strong nationalism [This is the place of our Chinese, go back to your UK! 】This... is obviously a personal vendetta! Why rise to the level of national enmity without reason? ! Rise to national feud? ! ) Alas... I really want to write a service letter to Wang Jing! That's not all, what's even more outrageous is that there is also a character named Yan Tong in the play (the prototype is Yan Xiong, one of the four detectives), played by Tang Zhenye! Its role in the play is the horse boy of a high-ranking British official! Well, the most bloody thing is that after the establishment of the Independent Commission Against Corruption, this guy can actually be fine, Lao Lian let him go, Nimarello is about to run away, Lao Yan can still sway? ! Moreover, the police department is also preparing to make him replace Lai Luo's position as Inspector General Hua next month! (At the end of the play, a large number of police officers helped the British high-ranking official get into the Kowloon Walled City, a lame man!) What's the reason? ! Because he is a loyal horse boy of the British, on the side of the British! So the Brits are covering him, and even the ICAC can't move him? ! Bullshit! Isn't this a satire on the British Hong Kong government, what is brainless black? ! After the establishment of the Independent Commission Against Corruption, the first batch of people wanted by the British Hong Kong government, in addition to the big tiger Lu Le, were Yan Xiong and the British senior police officer Gerber! (They are a group, and Lu Le is the brain behind the scenes) In the end, both Lu Le and Yan Xiong successfully absconded! And the British guy, Gerber, managed to run back to his British ancestral home! But then because of tainted witness testimony, after being arrested in the UK in 1975, Goldberg was extradited back to Hong Kong to be sentenced! This is history! ! !
Let's talk about Wang Jing again: And Director Wang Jing, you are very familiar with the way you are and how you do business! I think most Hong Kong people know it well! This time, for the sake of box office, gangster films can play nationalism! It's really 6! Lai Luo and Lai Hao can be said to be the two most treacherous and heinous people in the history of Hong Kong! He can actually tamper with history and shape them into national heroes! The heroic deeds of daring to fight against the tyranny of the British colony and finally killing the British traitor in the uprising! Hehe, he will really poke the G-spot of Chinese people! ! ! However, I really have to admire director Wang Jing's business acumen! You see, after [Wonderful] [Shit and Piss], he invented a new type of film [Nationalist Gangster Movie] Well, very good! Politically correct! ''It's really worth your money! '' The final conclusion: The photography and art of this film are actually quite good, which makes many people who love Hong Kong-made films find their feelings for Hong Kong films in the past! But as a Hong Konger, I really can't find any feelings for this biographical film that doesn't even respect the history of Hong Kong! (Objectively speaking, the production level of this movie itself is more than one star! One star only represents a personal position!). PS: Friends who are interested in Lu Le (Lai Luo) and Wu Xihao (Lai Hao) may wish to check the information of these two people online! Of course, there may be many friends who say that this is not a documentary, why should it be 100% historical! Yes, although biographical films are indeed not historical documentaries, the visuals can be changed, and of course the characters can be changed appropriately (to make the characters more vivid)! But it would be too much to tamper with the entire history to the point where black and white are reversed and right and wrong are indistinguishable! PS: There are also many friends who think that this movie is not even a biographical movie, so it can be made up, as long as it looks good! Well, if it's not a biographical film, then it's best to remove the clear line [based on true events] in the title line!
