The Mustang killed Calido, and the cocaine seller killed the heroin seller, although he washed his hands. The emerging forces of money supremacy have replaced the traditional forces that value righteousness and despise profits. The pain of the process will inevitably be accompanied by violence and blood. The fundamental reason is that people's desires have been infinitely magnified.
Drug dealers sell cocaine instead of heroin; young people no longer respect life for money, and even eat black.
This reminds Calido that although he has only been in prison for five years, this society is no longer familiar to him. He is a really smart person, knows that Jinpen washes his hands to do some legitimate business, and knows that love kills people faster than bullets.
After all, he got rid of the glory of the old days, abide by the love of the rivers and lakes, and got on the thief ship of David. Even if you draw a line with David, let him say one thing: We don’t owe each other anymore. Affection is his reminder but not a life-threatening one. The old ethics and morals may make you restrained and passive, but not dangerous. No one likes a decaying old house.
The danger lies in the location of the old house. The upstart wanted to build the Empire State Building here, so he had to expel the nails of the old house, first and then the soldiers. It's not that Naizihu can't keep his fortress, but he wants to move to a new house on the seaside that is indisputable in the world and does not refuse to demolish it.
If the conflict between the old and the new forces was the objective cause of Kalidor's death, the loss of his wolfishness was a poison he himself took.
Zeng Zhiwei said in Infernal Affairs that he would always have to pay back when he came out. Calido thought he was finished, he forgot that he was still in the rivers and lakes.
The director announced the death of Calido at the beginning, and the whole film became Calido's fateful curtain call. In 1993, it seemed that it was also the glorious curtain call for traditional gangster movies in Hollywood.
Parma produced a romantic and classical heroic temperament unique to Hong Kong films, which is fascinating.
I like the title of Qing Xiao’s Dawn, Qing Xiao Xiao said Calido; Dawn, forward is light, backward is darkness, just a short distance away, is heaven and hell.
