I personally think that Wu Zhenyu's temperament is not like the godfather Vito Corleone played by Marlon Brando, but closer to the little godfather Michael Corleone played by Al Pacino. Of course, Wu Zhenyu's acting skills can't reach the level of Al Pacino's, but at least the sparrow is small and has five internal organs. Complete, this is also used to describe "Infernal Affairs 2" is also appropriate. The filming of "Infernal Affairs 2" is already quite wonderful, we can't demand that "Infernal Affairs 2" is really good enough to hold a few Oscar statuettes (the American version of "Infernal Affairs" has already done it, but the style of the American version It is completely different from the Hong Kong version, and the story is also very different. In addition to the content being born out of the Hong Kong version, the American version of "Infernal Affairs" can be regarded as an American police and bandit movie similar to "The Bourne". He can have his own The spirit of independence is contained in it, so it is their business to win the Oscar), "Infernal Affairs 2" as a commercial film has shown us the sincerity and fighting spirit of Hong Kong filmmakers, at least "Infernal Affairs 2" tells What level should an excellent domestic commercial film be, and how an excellent domestic actor should act. Many people say that "Infernal Affairs 2" lacks the spirit of excellence (I think of "The Wind" in recent years), but the premise of this is that "Infernal Affairs 2" is really good enough.
I don't want to say much about the content of the movie. After all, the content is not complicated, and everyone can understand it. As I said before, it is a miniature version of "The Godfather", or the TV drama version of "The Godfather" for me. The content of "Infernal Affairs 2" has little to do with the first and third parts. You can directly watch the first and third parts without watching "Infernal Affairs 2", which is also similar to "The Godfather 2". ” tells the story of Vito’s family history, but if you want to watch the “Godfather” series “The Godfather 2”, you must watch it, because “The Godfather 2” focuses on Mike’s family history. , "Infernal Affairs 2" is just short of this fatal injury. From the perspective of a movie, "Infernal Affairs 2" is gorgeous, but looking at the entire "Infernal Affairs" series, "Infernal Affairs 2" seems a little long and redundant. He is indeed wonderful, but so what, after watching it After that, besides being wonderful or wonderful, what's the use of it. The first part tells the cause, the third part uncovers the consequences, what about the second part? The prequel was filmed like a rumor, and the film technique over-exaggerated the gangsta atmosphere, which has deviated from the first and third traditional Hong Kong-style police and gangster films. An excellent film series either complements each other, or forms an aorta with each other. The "Infernal Affairs" series has the ambition to shape a new world, but it is a pity that the trilogy only cares about its own growth and ignores other brothers. Later, everyone found that this world is not a sphere. Among them, "Infernal Affairs 2" is the most serious. It is estimated that the ambitions of the directors are too inflated. But then again, the water in this part can accurately challenge the peak standard of masterpiece.
It is worth mentioning that the plot of Ni Yongxiao's blood washing down the four major bosses is completely borrowed from a symbolic chapter of "The Godfather", but personally I prefer the plot atmosphere of "Infernal Affairs", which is related to personal taste: in Mary's assassination After Ni, the world was in chaos, and the four major families wanted to separate their own ways and not be controlled by the Ni family. In contrast to "The Godfather", Vito, the godfather of the family, begins to be assassinated, the Coleone family is suddenly in chaos, and the group is leaderless, while the other four families are unpredictable and ready to move. Then Wu Zhenyu made his debut, thinking that his weak image would not be very atmospheric, but he was wrong, and overnight, he took care of the four major families. There was no confrontation at all, but secret battles were interspersed on the phone. Compared with Mike's murderous intent in the calm, it shows a bit of unique hideousness. The four leaders gathered to eat hot pot, but in a relaxed environment, there were all kinds of murderous intentions and threats. Before the massacre drama was staged, Ni Yongxiao, a phone call and a few gossips, immediately dismantled the hypocrisy of the four leaders. . Screenwriter Mak Zhaohui's overall and detailed descriptions create a very powerful and powerful impact between the film's screen and the suspense of the story. The next bloodbath in the dark night is naturally exciting. The five elements of killing methods of gold, wood, water, fire and earth inherit the traditional Chinese martial arts culture of "killing". The violent temperament of exaggeration and dazzling skills is amazing that "The Godfather" does not have. oriental temperament. This midnight repertoire can be said to be the most bloody part of the whole play. The suffocating feeling accompanied by the electronic drum beats is broken by a sudden bullet that shoots into the chest. Then the commercial pleasure brought to the audience by the bloodbath like the autumn wind swept the leaves is even more incomparable to the destruction of the four major families in "The Godfather 1". humanistic atmosphere). Not only were the three of the four major leaders dead on the street, but the "conspiracy" of the police to destroy Ni's family was also exposed to the world by Ni Yongxiao's calm attitude. The heavy night is just the best protective color for killing and conspiracy. At the same time, the coming of night will allow more people to see the truth that the world cannot hide. And those who really dare to walk at night are only those who are not afraid of death.
