Drug war, cruel and real human nature

Gray weather, gray city, gray vehicles, gray crowd, gray gunfight... The movie kicked off in a gray tone, and it also ended in a gray mood - an intense, sparkling but icy gunfight , the ardent loyalty gradually stopped in the icy body, the cunning and ruthless desperadoes lay on the icy deathbed... In retrospect, in a cold winter, a city, a group of anti-drug police and a group of drug dealers, it seems that it really happened After such a cold death fight. There are no stunts, everyone is a mortal body of flesh and blood; there are no heroes, whoever gets shot will bleed and die; there is no high profile, no one has to shout slogans and struggle before dying to take out party fees to flatter; there is nothing left. , No one knows that this walk will come to the end of life.
Forgive me for being a pragmatist. I only watch the plot when watching movies, not the director, actors and popularity (of course, watching movies is because there are actors I like in them), so I can't compare To Qifeng's movies horizontally. I can't make a vertical comparison, and I can't comment on whether the shootout is hot or not. I can only see whether the overall style and content interpretation match, and whether it can shock me. Apparently, on the second day of April when the sun was shining and spring flowers were blooming, my warm and happy mood that I had maintained during the day was destroyed by the drug war. It's not that it's bad, it's just because it exposed my bottom, reminding me that a person with a somewhat dark psychology in the world always has a small group of people who are ruthless and unscrupulous in order to survive and benefit.
I think the movie is trying to say: look, human nature is so vicious; look, human nature is so cruel; look, human nature is so persistent; look, human nature is so pathetic. For the sake of profit, ordinary women who can no longer be ordinary will take risks to hide drugs in their stomachs, and they can only cry helplessly if they can't get rid of the drugs; for the sake of profit, drug makers wear bulletproof vests even when they take a bath, and they have to be vigilant all the time. Even if they hold a lot of banknotes and burn real coins as ghost coins, they are so extravagant that they have not paid the price of fear, but they are persistent and they are happy.
The most vicious person who embodies human nature is Anti-No. 1, who is used to deduct the theme. In order to stay alive, betray friends first; in order to stay alive, tricks occur frequently; in order to stay alive, the place of battle can be placed at the gate of the most innocent elementary school; in order to stay alive, a temporary design can be made to bring the police and bandits together, and this Zhao'er has used it twice; in order to survive, he is not relentless in refilling guns to enemies and friends, and he will not leave a living. I have to say that I liked the two fires he designed on a whim, at least beyond my expectations.
Look at those anti-drug police officers, there are no windbreakers and sunglasses, no one complimented by "sir" and "Mr. ×", and there is no such thing as a green light to handle a case and take someone, and in the end, there is no one who will never worry about running out of bullets. pistol. He chased from the Great South to the Great North in one breath, with a downcast face and a face full of wind and frost, and had to be exploited and looted at countless toll booths, probably not because he couldn't eat, but because he had no money to eat. After handing over with colleagues in the north, there is no need to deliberately greet each other and tout each other. Everyone knows their own market very well. In the dark monitoring space, except for the burning real "Ming" coins on the monitoring screen, which are naked and blooming in dazzling pink, there is not even the slightest warm tone. This strong contrast, cruel contrast, hurts! In the end, why did such a group of gentlemen and the two Women's Women's Army become so persistent that they wanted to risk their lives? Poison, really poison! Perhaps because the gorgeous packaging is stripped away, the life of the real anti-narcotics police is more shocking to their efforts, and it also highlights the tragic and solemnity of all their sacrifices. The road ahead is difficult and dangerous. The drug dealers carry their heads and sell drugs to make money for themselves, but they carry their heads for the happiness and well-being of others. As paranoid as I am, the three views will collapse again. Fortunately, there is no need to shout slogans here, everything is silent.
Don't be too gentle and disciplined with drug dealers. If it hadn't been for the police to let the anti-No. 1 survivors, a few would have survived in the end. As a result, as soon as they made a move of surrender, they could only be handcuffed here. You mortal and desperados follow the rules, it's really disgusting. long. If you catch drug dealers, you should shoot them on the spot, and let them die by lethal injection. It's too easy to die, and I'm sorry for those anti-narcotics police who are fighting for their lives on the front line.
The visual effect of the film is not so heavy, but it is too real. Maybe it's because it's too real, but it makes people stay away. I read a film review before saying that John To's plays are all selling well or not. Maybe, it's the truth. For example, my gray mood now—I know that the viciousness of human nature and seeing the viciousness of human nature are two different things in terms of emotional acceptance. The latter is too naked and bloody, and I will feel pain.
Reminder: It may be a little disgusting at first (best watch without food), the only headshot shot, the death is gentler than anyone else. Did the director and camera take care of Anti-No. 1: headshots can only hit the back of the head, not the face. Poor me, I was mentally prepared to accept the cruelest picture, but it turned out to be a little handsome, so I didn't have a strong hatred for Anti No. 1. Every actor performed well, no wonder some people say this is a group play.
In fact, I personally thought that Anti-No. 1's success in escaping was worthy of his IQ. As a result, he was inattentive, and was handcuffed to his ankle by a lingering man, and the game was over. Anyway, the reality is cruel. I don't care if the ending is darker, but the reviewers will definitely disagree. How can something like the height of the road be one foot high and the devil be ten feet high to make it happen logically?
