What is Violent Aesthetics?

How many bullets does Master Wu use to construct his violent aesthetic in this film? Can't count.
So if today's Hong Kong movies are dead, it's probably because they have surrendered their guns.
Who surrendered their guns? Why should they hand over their guns?
Mainland filmmakers should find this question worth pondering.
Hong Kong filmmakers should feel that the five flavors are mixed.
Looking at this movie back then,
Brother Fa was cool,
Wei Zai was cute,
Qiu Sheng was young,
Sister Shunyun was nostalgic, and
Zhen Hua was resentful.
In short, the audience was cool.
This is the aesthetics of violence.

    Liang Chaowei, Huang Qiusheng, undercover, just these three symbols, how many people will have a kind of throbbing reunion after reading it. But after all, in the early years of John Woo, the pigeons were flying, and the guns and the roaring of the pony brother. It turns out that the common problem of Han Ying's excessive force has also been committed by Hong Kong Film, but it seems that Hong Kong Film has no chance to relapse. It's very happy to see all the movie stars (and actually Kunimura Hayabusa) look in the same frame when they were young.

    This lineup is also awesome now, but there are a lot of shooting scenes and it is still slow motion, which is a bit of a waste of time; and it feels like everyone has endless bullets. Some details are quite romantic haha
