The ending of the two heroes is actually doomed from the beginning.

Good people are easily misunderstood, and times are changing.

I was impressed by what Maotou said to Xiaobao, we both held guns.

But in fact, they have the same goal, different methods, but they are all forced. The final outcome is a reflection of this era.

In this world, there is no conclusion that there are good people and bad people. People who kill people with guns are not necessarily bad people.

A good movie will make people unable to calm down after watching it for a long time. What we see is a movie, a feeling, a movie with a theme and resonance. This movie does exactly that.

    It is amazing that Hong Kong in the 1980s could produce such mature commercial blockbusters. In fact, I think John Woo, like Tsui Hark, shoots all martial arts films. Although his works are all about the stories of modern police and gangsters, the spiritual core is the same as that of martial arts films. With morality and brotherhood, John Woo used the eternal proposition of martial arts to photograph the modern heroic demeanor. The so-called police and bandits are also only covered with a layer of skin. What Woo Yusen really wants to discuss is the chivalry and morality that are few and far between. China is really lucky to have a director like John Woo. To be able to handle an ordinary story in such a romantic way with such a literary perspective, only John Woo can do it. This unique style is unique not only in the Chinese film market, but also in the world. If "Face Change" is the best work of John Woo's career, then this "Blood Two Heroes" is the best in Chinese.

    Although John Woo's white clothes, red blood and background white pigeons look quite funny; although the heroine is not good-looking and is as blind as Ziwei; although from the heroine's eye injury, I guessed that Chow Yun-fat will donate her cornea in the end; Say I told you to paint, and then said that Brother Fa has sympathy or something, how can people draw a person with sympathy! ...but this movie isn't too bad either.
