Looking for a long time in this life, it is not worth the hero to fall into the world

Hong Kong's shootout films, I like John Woo's early, undercover films, and I like the three "Spicy Detective", "Dragon Tiger" and "Infernal Affairs" the most.
"Hot Detective/Gun God", John Woo's movie, the plot is very scary. It turns out that this melancholy young boy named Lang (Leung Chiu Wai) is not a real gangster, he is just an undercover agent. In order to investigate the case, he was forced to kill the old Uncle Dahai, who respected his father. He really didn't want to do it, but Ah Lang endured it for his duty. He shot Uncle Hai's subordinates, not bullets, but the inner pain of a tragic undercover agent. His eyes showed all the pain. He was almost killed by police detective Tequila (Chow Yun-Fat). Later, Ah Lang became himself and joined forces with Tequila to fight against the enemy. Although he kills a lot, he does not lack childlike innocence. The ending is subtle. It can be considered that Ah Lang died later, or it can be considered that he did not die. Seeing Ah Lang in a pool of blood at the end made me feel desolate, but then he reappeared, giving people hope. Likewise, Tequila (aka Ah Yun) also has a dual personality, he is rebellious in character, reckless and hot in form, but He is devoted to his friends, and he is honest and loyal to his duties. After watching it, my little cousin said that the film was beautiful but too scary.
.
The film is very thrilling (Director Wu's are all thrillers). But in this thriller, their bravery in the face of adversity can be seen, similar to adventure. Young Tequila (aka Yun) has a rebellious personality and acts recklessly, but not always. I like the lonely undercover Jiang Lang. He has the heart of a child. For his duty, young Ah Lang gave up everything (including his life), and his heart was extremely painful.
Rooftop opera reminds people of the later "Infernal Affairs", which is not thrilling but suspenseful. Not much to say, this is different from the previous undercover films in that both sides sent undercover agents. Although Yongren (Leung Chaowei) and Liu Jianming (Andy Lau) did not have feelings with the underworld like Gao Qiu and A Lang did, but because they had been undercover for a long time, they fell into infinity and lost their identities,
A Lang: at least they saw the light. I have asked people, there is sunshine 24 hours a day.

Yuan Haoyun (Tequila: Hehe, the ideal is not just to talk about. I also have an ideal: I wanted to be a band when I was young, but I didn't expect to enter this business. Hey, this world is just a joke...


Uncle Hai: Ah Lang, that's how things are in the world. There are some things you don't want to do, but you are forced to do them. Just like it is impossible for me to close the mountain, since I stepped into the rivers and lakes, I knew that such a day would come.

    wow, at the end of the 1980s, I saw this blockbuster of Pigeon Wu with admiration. As long as it is packaged a little, it will look good now, not to mention that it was almost twenty years ago, which is too awesome. Also, as someone mentioned above, I also thought of "Infernal Affairs". However, there are still many flaws in the plot, but it does not affect its viewing. So, it's no wonder that there is cuteness in "Red Cliff", because this is a characteristic of the Hong Kong film industry. good film.

    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.

    Alan: You know, I've always hated making cranes. I make one each time I kill somebody. How about it, shall I make you one?
