Notice! The male protagonist of this film was hacked miserably!
I don't know if the male pig's feet played by Mickey Rourke is too exaggerated in his acting skills or there is a problem with the role setting. In my opinion, he is a rude and rude sloppy. Whether it is rash at the funeral, or mindless breaking into the offices of Chinese gangsters, maybe the director wants to express the fearless spirit in American personal heroism movies, but these plots give people intuitiveness in the movie The feeling is - the male protagonist's brain is lacking!
In front of the film, when Mickey Rourke looked at the Chinese female reporter, I smiled slightly. In this film with Chinatown as the main scene, the male protagonist who is the embodiment of American justice must not only conquer the Chinese underworld in head-to-head confrontation, but also fight Conquer Chinese girls in love! I said that this kind of stereotyped setting is commonplace, but after the male protagonist's white wife went online, I was not calm. This Nima started hooking up before she got divorced? Of course, Western society is open. After reading Sex and the City, I said - I just despised it a little.
But every time I see the male protagonist appearing in front of the audience, he has an expression that I am the incarnation of justice, come and worship me, and then think of the incident where he is carrying his wife to hook up with Chinese girls, what can I do with the aura of the protagonist? Only despise, despise and despise again!
The reason why I completely hated the male protagonist was after my wife was shot and killed by a Chinese gangster, and her home was bombed. The male protagonist who was grief-stricken in the first second, sent Justin Bieber thousands of miles to the door the next second, and had a shot with a Chinese girl. When the Chinese girl heard the doorbell and opened the door, the male protagonist's wicked smile appeared in front of her. What the hell is this Nima? Your wife died not long ago! ! ! I am completely reduced to the hero black! ! !
As for how the male protagonist killed the unparalleled unparalleled Uncle Zunlong, and how the hero is lonely, I won't spoil it...
Next is the key point! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! !
My radiant and unparalleled male supporting actor - Uncle Zunlong! ! ! ! ! !
If you were born 20 years late, I would definitely be your super-brained fan! ! ! ! ! !
Chinatown is chaotic and scary, the gangsters in Chinatown will shoot down the candy shop owner if they don't agree with each other, the big guys in Chinatown are all old grandpas, but except for one person - joe tai, I don't know if my name is spelled correctly, B The resources on the site are all without subtitles, I just finished watching "Year of the Dragon" with my half-baked English and brain supplement Dafa.
Uncle Zun Long's first appearance was at his father-in-law's funeral, and the poor old man was in a Chinese restaurant. While drinking tea and chatting with people, I was stabbed in the heart by an unknown gangster and went to see God. Uncle Zunlong, dressed in a white suit and sunglasses, led his daughter in the funeral procession with an expressionless face. The first time I watched it, I never thought of the sissy old man in "Entertaining Yourself". So handsome when he was young! The kind of anger in Mickey Rourke's office, the kindness in dealing with people in the restaurant, the kind of big brother in front of his subordinates... With that face and that sexy Cantonese, a The black-bellied and domineering beauty is presented in a vivid way.
There are also family photos on the desk to help Chinese girls who have dropped out of school to be able to go back to school, Emma! The domineering and black appearance is matched with a pair of ancient and warm intestines, the contrast is cute! ! !
Thinking of the brainless scumbag of the male protagonist, this is the beauty that sets off!
However, it was later discovered that what he did was just to maintain order in Chinatown. This order was maintained not by the police in New York, but by the local Chinese gangs. Many Chinese people come to foreign countries without saying a word. Some people may spend their entire lives begging for a living in Chinatown. What if something goes wrong? The local police do not want to control this kind of Chinese crowd, but a place can't be without rules, and there can be no circle without rules. At this time, gangs play a big role. This is too far. In short, the big guy played by Uncle Zun Long does everything for the stable development and prosperity of the gang! One pistol and one hand of honey is a must!
No matter how ruthless Joe Tai is, he is always gentle and polite in front of people, but most of the time he's just ashes ashes while talking and laughing! The charisma has been continuously up with the development of the film.
As for later, it may be that the director thought that Uncle Zunlong's beauty in the film was too unbelievable, so he arranged for the male protagonist to beat Uncle Zunlong until his nose was bruised, but a beauty is a beauty, even if I was beaten into a pig's head, I can still look Staring at you stupidly.
But in reality, Mickey Rook was really beaten up and ruined, and Uncle Zunlong probably thought that he was not beautiful enough and cut his double eyelids.
In short, under the condition that the male supporting actor is more handsome than the male protagonist, the male protagonist does not have the slightest charisma, and the limelight is all taken away by the male supporting actor. The male protagonist should really shout at the director and screenwriter: "What kind of hatred do I have with you? ?!!"
