The performance is too exaggerated

As an ordinary Hong Kong film, after reading it, I found that it is indeed an ordinary Hong Kong film. Who would have guessed that when I checked the film review, it was actually Woo Yusen's most proud film. He invested a lot of money and made a big production. It seems that time can indeed eliminate a lot of things that are just on the surface, but after more than ten years, the level of this film has become clear.

The biggest weakness is the lack of motivation and exaggerated performances of the characters, especially Zhang Xueyou: he had killed so many people before, but when the Viet Cong forced him to kill the US military, he immediately collapsed, shouting and screaming. Others, the U.S. military kills its own people and just collapses. You are just a supporter of the U.S. military. ——However you look at it, it is the style of mutual blackmail during the Cold War.
Next, the beautiful soul returns to a foreign land, and everyone is depressed and depressed. Is it necessary for the three of them to look sad and not run for their lives or repair the ship in such a dangerous situation? The normal performance is that Ren Dahua is the most depressed as an old lover, and Tony Leung and Jacky Cheung, as fans and admirers, help Li Zixiong to repair the boat while they are depressed, instead of glaring at him fiercely when he hears Li Zixiong's call to repair the boat, annoyed that he interrupted. I think of my own way of remembering beauty. - This scene almost made me laugh out loud.

How to see that the Chinese-French mixed race is Leslie Cheung, after reading it, drag the mouse to the front to see the cast list, it is actually Ren Dahua. It seems that when they were young, everyone looked handsome. There are also such young Tony Leung and Jacky Cheung, who have completely two child faces, which is so interesting. It was found that Jacky Cheung played Hanhan's loyal younger brother in several films.

The only surprise was when the three of them rode their bikes at the beginning and Jacky Zhang almost fell off the riverside. In addition, putting the story in the context of the Cultural Revolution and the Vietnam War, the fate of the characters and the background of the times are well combined—in this film, it is an advantage; in a good film, it is a basic requirement.

    Under the realism trend of Hong Kong film society in the early 1990s, John Woo also shot a work with such a sense of the times. The comparison of many front and back scenes in the film conveys the disillusionment of history, and many places are reminiscent of Apocalypse Now It echoes with the shadow of the deer hunter and Xu Anhua's desertion to the Angry Sea. The narrative is also very smooth, with both literary and commercial characteristics, and it is highly ornamental, but personally I still prefer bloodshed.

    No wonder John Woo has no filming now, it can be called the logic of cerebral hemorrhage, and Tony Leung is used like this. I have to add a female singer who is only a burden. In Vietnam, I don't want to die for a female singer. After finally returning to Hong Kong, my wife and children don't run away and die together. Tony Leung and Jacky Cheung performed high-intensity hyperthyroidism in almost the whole film. Oh my god, is the aesthetic vision different? This super exaggerated movie will really be out of date. Fortunately, Tony Leung met with sunglasses later, three protagonists, two brainless Hyperthyroidism, a flat villain, only Ren Dahua is attractive.
