Although it is easy to watch the film, it is not easy to complete it. Let's watch and cherish it: "Underworld" should be watched in Cantonese. . .

Mixing in the underworld, just eating and eating, lacking in people's hearts, and hard to satisfy desires. There may be no choice in life, but fate is inexorable.

The gang text map of the Eight Diagrams, the letter "Kie Wan is a record, common harmony - Hong Piaochao". In the middle of the music, the picture gradually changed to a group of gang brothers reciting the gang rules in unison.

The scene suddenly turned, the women playing mahjong shuffled cards, the children running around and playing, and the noise of the riotous life in the city. The men who discussed the internal affairs of the gang also expressed their opinions.
The high-spirited Tsuen Wan Big D on the boat is trying to win people over with money and force them to eat spoons. Ale, who was deep and reserved on the shore, was eating roast chicken to understand the intentions and interests of the voters.
The cops at the police station are eating a lunch box: Take down one gang, and another rises up. One punk was caught, another popped up again. We just want to be calm.

The underworld chose "talking people" a hundred years earlier than Hong Kong's election of the chief executive.
Deng Bo's two invitations to tea showed the meaning of the uncle's generation to choose "talking people", and also raised his hands to vote on the final election result.
Ah Le is shopping for vegetables and the pork bones that his son loves to eat. Big D makes clothes in a tailor shop. Life is alive, eat and wear two words.

The dispute between Big D and Brother Le has become the main contradiction in the development of the whole story. There is no righteousness, evil and loyalty, only calculated violence and betrayal. All stories cannot escape this web of intertwined power and interests.
The dramatic conflict throughout the movie reaches its climax, vying for the leading stick.
When the big head played by Lin Xue took the dragon head wood from the master Su, he recited the gang rules quite formally and devoutly: "Brothers consign money and sundries, and they must be handed over with all their heart. If there are swindlers, they will die Under ten thousand swords." The underworld's allegiance, morality, etc., probably only exists here.

The dragon head stick, which symbolizes the highest power of the gang, finally came into the hands of Ale. In order to join hands with Big D, he killed Ji Chui's son, so as to threaten Chu Qi and negotiate terms with Da D. The story seems to have become clear. Big D began to be loyal to Ale and helped Ale kill his competitors. The two became good brothers working together.

However, there is no use for eggs. If you don't die, you won't die. When he was trying to become someone else, Ale smashed to death the big D, who was his brother for a minute, and his wife. Because the rule of their life game is to pursue profit. The morality of the rivers and lakes is a cloak covering interests, and without interests there is no brother.

The whole film has been in a depressing and gloomy atmosphere, and the rhythm is actually relatively slow. The director carefully depicts a black picture of all beings, and makes a complete and well-tempered gangster story about "selecting the boss". Whether it is the overall pattern, the detailed design, or the rendering of the characters' atmosphere, the film is intriguing. It is quite a bit prominent that the core of the mixed triad is profit and the means is violence. Interest is the basic, and violence is only for the maintenance of interest. As for morality, benevolence, and righteousness, that's just the icing on the cake after a fully satisfied benefit.
