The film adheres to the steady tradition of French police and gangster films, and abandons the impetuous style of contemporary French police and gangster films that follow Hollywood. This is an important factor for the film's success. It activates the dusty memory of audiences who like French police and gangster films. Watching this movie, the classic movies of the past came to my mind, Belmondo's "Terror Shrouded the City", "Vengeance Alone", Alain Delon's "The Promise of a Police Officer", the images of tough guys are vivid in my mind. Once upon a time, I always imagined that these two tough guys on the screen who did not see the king could have a screen collision like Pacino and De Niro in "Pirates of Fire", but unfortunately it was not possible, although the two finally met. They appeared together in the movie "One-half Chance", but the hero is too late, and there is no return to the past. If they were 20 years younger...
Now that Daniel Audeille is imprinted in my eyes with this French version of "Pirates of Fire", it makes me wonder why not Jean Reno? Who is Daniel Odeyer? Can he withstand Gerard Departio's blistering attack? Can they be evenly matched? My knowledge of him only rests on the identity of Emmanuel Bea's ex-husband. And Microsoft's Quanpin input method doesn't know him either. It turned out that my ignorance once again surprised me, and he played worthy of Gérard Departio's opponent and Emmanuel Bea's ex-husband. Daniel Odeille's collaboration with Gerard Depatillo brought my regrets that Alain Delon and Belmondo were not in the film to a minimum.
I remember that Professor Qian Liqun of Peking University said something like this. It seems that he said: "Character determines fate, and mind determines the pattern." This sentence more appropriately describes the experience of the two protagonists. Leo, the anti-gang leader played by Daniel Odeyer, whose entire encounter, fortunately and unfortunately, was caused by his character. His character is more Jianghu. In Chen Haonan's words, he is ruthless, loyal, and has many brothers. This character is suitable for the underworld, but it is not suitable for being a police officer. If you are a police officer, you will be a frontline officer. You have no hope of going up unless your boss appreciates it. Another character trait is doing things recklessly. There are two things at the beginning of the film. One is that he took off the sign of his police station and gave it to his comrades who were about to retire. These two plays are very clever, not only confessing his loyalty and reckless character, but also laying the groundwork for the subsequent plot. The following plots do not need to be detailed. Although fate is full of accidental variables, the decisions made in the face of fate are dictated by character. The whole story is full of variables, and there are mistakes, but I understand the clue of the protagonist's character characteristics. , then the development of the story is logical, and finally reaches the highest level of storytelling - unexpected, reasonable.
As we said earlier, people like Leo are not easy to get along with in the police world, but unfortunately, he gets along well. In addition to a group of hardcore brothers, he also has a boss who appreciates him. Hope to be promoted to police chief. If there is opportunity, there will be competition, and if there is competition, there will be opponents. If you encounter an opponent who knows you like the back of your hand, is well thought out, and has a narrow mind, you are out of luck. Klein, played by Gerard Departio, is one such person. And his kind of mind finally led to his betrayal and death on the street. The so-called poor people must have something to hate, but the reverse is also true. Hateful people also have something worthy of sympathy. Klein's narrow-mindedness made him make a wrong decision. He didn't think this decision was a mistake. Yes, but the result was beyond his imagination. The next step was to cover up mistakes with mistakes, and finally made a big mistake. Of course, his ambition for power also played a role in fueling the flames. In any case, his desires and his Mindfulness determines his outcome.
The characters are used to promote the plot, and the plot is used to shape the characters. The deep plot and the cold picture convey a deep sadness and profound truth. Wherever there are people, there are rivers and lakes. Whether it is a policeman within the system or a bandit outside the system, as long as it is a human being, there will be a human character and a human destiny. This essential thing will not change because of identity.
