Drug Wars, as the name suggests, fights against drugs, against drug dealers, and against drug producers. In today's society, the drug trade is repeatedly banned. Only in Guangdong Province this year, many drug-making establishments have been destroyed, and the drug use of young people is even more worrying. The number of deaths of the anti-narcotics police brings tears to my eyes. With his usual shooting techniques, To Qifeng pulls the audience into an extremely realistic scene. There is no creepy description of drugs, and there is no police prepared to win. Some are real descriptions, schools, roads, hotels, hospitals, and even the scenes of drug trafficking are truly outrageous. But it gives people the feeling of being cold, chilling, cold to drug rivers and lakes, and cold to drug trade.
The characters in Johnnie To's films are full of personality, three-dimensional and realistic, with few characters. Whether it is the five bodyguards in "Gunfire" or the various levels in "Drug War", from the anti-drug police Sun Honglei, to the Guangdong anti-drug police with few roles, from the Hong Kong Gang of Seven, to Brother Biao, to the deaf and mute The two heroes are not rough lines from one end to the other. Even if it is a small person, To Qifeng always has a way to make you feel his unexpected shooting talent.
In order to break the current downturn, Hong Kong films need both opportunities and talents. The Hong Kong mainland co-production also needs new blood to join. Galaxy image, Johnnie To has a pivotal position in the Hong Kong film industry and even the world film industry. Hong Kong, the Eastern Hollywood, has been sleeping for a long time, when will it wake up?
