Honestly, I'm a guy who doesn't care about blockbusters, and it's not that I have to maintain some kind of misfit at my age, but maybe like you said, I'm a little weird. All the points are slanted on untimely paces, walking crooked all the way, such as crying over a fish ball hawker in Hong Kong, or crying silently when the flag is lowered in the film. At that time, there was only one sentence in my mind, that is, the wheels of history run over, no matter how much love, hatred, and hatred, I will let go of the flag and change the cap badge quietly and unwillingly. Living quietly is a kind of cool in itself. Dying quietly is a sigh bigger than Cool.
Therefore, the dead are long gone, and the living have to carry on with a smile.
So much helplessness.
This is the best and most perfect complement to "Infernal Affairs". If the good-looking of "Nothing" is based on the unexpected and interlocking of the plot, it can only give you a cigarette after the event. think. But Infernal Affairs II is different. It is like the person hiding behind the scenes, gazing at the life and death clauses in "Nothing" with a mournful look, and explaining the reasons behind the scenes in a more compact but unobtrusive way. All life, death, love, hate, kill, stay, resolute, cruelty, sadness, brotherhood... When you project back to "Nothing", you will think so sadly, why is all this like this, if not no. But no, just like that flag will eventually come down, Hong Kong people stubbornly hugged that empty box and watched it all happen at a loss. Sheung Wan, Central, gangsters, Bai Dao, the government... and a certain sense of superiority as a British colony, all of them were annihilated in the long river that was constantly rolling forward, and there was no power to fight back.
Still so helpless.
I've never liked people who think Hong Kong has no culture and is just a business capital. I think "Infernal Affairs II" is something that can be made by a director who knows how much the city and the people in this city are. Every drop of their blood seeps into the food stalls and side stoves, which is far more heartwarming than the heroism and calamity usually shown in theaters. This is its soul, and if there's anything in the movie that makes me nostalgic, it's this one.
When it comes to the actors' performances, I still think it's like a L vs. Moon duel. You can't tell who's black and white, who's the real justice, but you can tell who's the real good. from start to finish. People are doing it, whether God is watching or not, that's enough.
Tired people and cities, go to sleep.
