It's more of a Vietnam War-era history than a sibling story.

It's not so much a brother's story as it is a historical story of the Vietnam War period. It is rare for a Hong Kong movie to have such a grand story background and be able to tell a real Vietnam War story.

The three brothers first went to South Vietnam supported by the U.S. military to meet the South Vietnamese soldiers who killed civilians and the rumored Chinese-French mixed-race Lego, and then revealed the history of the Vietnamese being colonized by France. Later, they met the North Vietnamese soldiers of the Communist Party of Vietnam and saw the habits of North Vietnam to abuse prisoners of war. And these are almost the real history of Vietnam

The three brothers, A Rong, love Qian, A B, and women, and A Hui is the purest and most valued person among them. He was also killed by two brothers. The pursuit of the three is understandable. It is also an idealization of a man. Of course, the killing of the three brothers in the end seems to be the collapse of this rationality.

Le brother is the most powerful. If you want to survive in Vietnam in that era, you may have to have such a person who has a French background, speaks French, can work with cia in the United States, speak English, and speak Vietnamese with the local Vietnamese.

On the other hand, almost all the big directors in Hong Kong have told the story of the Vietnam War, showing that the relationship between Hong Kong or China and Vietnam became so close at that time. Director Tsui Hark was born in Saigon, Vietnam, the heroic character. The third part is mainly about The story of Vietnam comes from his own hands. Director Xu Anhua has also told many films about Vietnam. She is more famous for fleeing to the sea of ​​anger, which is the story of Vietnam, and this Vietnam story directed by John Woo is also very good. On the one hand, there is a vague battle between the North Vietnam supported by the Viet Cong in mainland China and the South Vietnam supported by the United States, as well as the influence of the French colonial era. The ordinary Vietnamese people under the background of the grand era are the most pitiful group of people. Seeing that there are many more Vietnamese in Germany than in other countries such as China, I can't help but suspect that they were refugees who fled to Germany during the Vietnam War and gradually took root in Germany. It's a real war and the UK is of the same origin as the US so it's unlikely to go to France more has a history of colonisation against them and of course china has a war against Vietnam and of course china is not a developed country it seems to be only neutral among the developed powers Germany is their best choice and on the other hand many of the people I met speak only German and no English seems to reflect the Vietnamese hatred of the US which invades their country although I don't know if my guess is correct but Vietnam The story of the war is also just a true story from more than forty years ago. The slightly older Vietnamese must have more or less fond memories.

On the other hand, the Vietnam War provided the neighboring Hong Kong at that time, especially the directors who were eager to depict the history, an opportunity to portray and even record history. At the same time, there were more or less some Vietnamese refugees in Hong Kong at that time, and Vietnam was competing for power as a powerful country at that time. The arena is difficult to control one's own destiny. It seems to be more similar to Hong Kong's own life experience. In reality, the connection between Vietnam and Hong Kong is perhaps the place in Saigon. Saigon Pier in Hong Kong is a famous tourist place. I have been there more than once. This also reflects that the place name of Saigon is the capital of Vietnam. Because North Vietnam won the Vietnam War, Saigon was renamed Ho Chi Minh City, which was named after its leader, but the place name of Saigon was retained in Hong Kong. At the same time, the three brothers went to Saigon to deliver goods or smuggle me at the beginning. I thought it was Saigon Pier in Hong Kong, but I didn't expect it to be Saigon in Vietnam. It seems to imply the importance of Saigon Pier in Hong Kong.

  • Ben: Mr Leong. I think think you're mistaken. When we were in Hong Kong we admired Miss Yen. We like listening to her sing. We were all staring at her just now, as we were wondering... wondering why she had changed so much. She's not pretty any more.

    Paul: Ah Bee!

    Ben: She's lost her innocence. She's not happy any more. I wonder who was responsible for that?

    Y.S. Leong: You're criticizing me? Not many people would speak to me like that. Young man, you've got balls. Bring me wine!

  • Ben: You're pointing a gun on a good friend you've known for more than a decade!
