The first time I watched it, it was difficult to get into the play. There were too many characters at the beginning, and the editing was too jumpy. Often, I was stunned when I saw the phone and didn't know what the film was about, so I had to go back and watch it again. Affect viewing performance. But the part into the play was probably in the middle, even when several bigwigs were arrested. Big D asked Dongguan Tsai to help him go to Guangzhou to get the faucet stick, which happened to be the big fight scene.
After that scene, Dongguan Zai gave the faucet stick to the plane, and the plane was knocked unconscious by the man from Big D. Jimmy rescued him, called an ambulance for him, and finally took the faucet stick.
The plot is played here, and it becomes clear at once. In fact, the foreshadowing ahead is too long, but I have to say that it is very flavorful.
After that, Alezui fooled Big D and promised to take Big D to Tsim Sha Tsui. The two brothers worked together to transfer more money. Big D chose to compromise, and worked together to kill the boss of another gang, and successfully broke into Tsim Sha Tsui.
The final outcome was beyond my expectations. Big D was still trying to die. In fact, if you think about it, you can understand that Big D is a person who is not particularly violent, but he was eventually smashed by Ale, who had endured for a long time. Death, Lesao did not escape the fate of death.
Ale returned home with his son who witnessed the whole process, and this was the end of the story.
When I watched it for the second time, I quickly got into the play. Because I knew the cause and effect, I paid more attention to some details this time, such as the opening gang map. I had some information on the Internet. To Qifeng is a very particular person, and the set is also very good. Pay attention.
The confrontation between Zhang Jiahui and Liang Jiahui on the boat made me fascinated. Zhang Jiahui played the plane and showed the performance of a younger brother who wants to climb up. Liang Jiahui is arrogant and domineering for the role of Big D. It's a three-pointer.
Then everything came to Ale's scene. Unlike Big D, who likes to solve problems by force, Ale is a restrained person. It can be seen from his chatting and laughing with Dongguanzi and his boss that he is very ambitious at the same time. A well-mannered person eats chicken wings and talks about family affairs. The conversation turns to his ability to bring everyone into Tsim Sha Tsui. Even if he gets an ambiguous answer, he just smiles and says he understands, and then continues to eat chicken wings. .
In the police station, the shots here are very emotional. I don’t know if the director did it deliberately. The shirts of the three officers are different colors. The young and motivated, the hard-working middle-level, and the most prestigious leaders.
"Just arrest them all."
"Destroy one club, and another club rises. Catch a young and dangerous boy, and the second one emerges again. What we want is calm,
no trouble, no complaints, stability and prosperity. " The underworld also engages in democracy? Why is it
not good to engage in elections in small circles?
"
It also corresponds to that sentence, how bold people are and how prolific they are. The young and motivated are eager for quick success and hatred, and the most prestigious leaders are more strategic, and they explain it in a few words.
Brother Sen (Jimmy's boss, brother Longgen's younger brother) is a bad gambler who likes to take drugs. Big D entrusted him with 200,000 to Longgen, but it turned into 100,000 as soon as he changed hands, and he hacked 100,000. Bet, after a period of breast-shaking benefits, Jimmy also repeatedly told his eldest brother not to gamble any more.
A group of bigwigs began to quarrel over the election. Deng, as the person who used to talk, gave everyone tea, and wanted to drink something to cover your mouth. Now, as a very prestigious person in the gang, when everyone took the tea, he However, he was the last to pick up the cup, and then expressed his opinion: "The society cannot be dominated by one family, I choose Ale." Those who had quarreled before, those who had not thought about it, and those who were in line with their own intentions also stopped quarreling, and turned to "darkness and evil". Force" bowed his head.
In the music, the camera came to Lesao and Ale, thinking that he could be a speaker and smiling, Ale was making clothes to celebrate after he was elected speaker. "Golden buttons", gold, represent grace and luxury, Ale Le has always been yearning for the supreme identity of the person, as well as
the road to a bright future (making money). Sister Le was on the phone and ordered a table in the restaurant.
Also in the music, Ale was very calm, neither wanting to celebrate nor feeling frustrated that he would definitely not be selected. Instead, he bought vegetables and meat as usual, greeted the neighbors cordially, and even learned about himself. The news of being elected was just asking his son to open a bottle of beer for him and clapping his hands to celebrate, as if everything was what he expected.
On the other hand, at dinner, Mrs. Le gave the manager money, and explained that it was just a tip, and the money for the table reservation was calculated separately. Big D didn't show up, but in the face of the empty 40 tables, she was full of tension. Although in terms of his previous character, if Big D appeared here, he would definitely beat people and overturn the table, but if he did not appear, he would leave the imagination space for the audience to experience for themselves. With 40 empty tables, Big D must be both disappointed and angry.
When I saw this, my dad scolded a nonsense. In the online novels, most of the underworld are the little ruffians on the street, shirtless and naked with their upper body like an octopus, with tattoos that fall off when it rains. With the gold chain that floats on the surface of the water when swimming, the words in your mouth are like no adult at home. Generally speaking, when I see this kind of person, they hide and go, not because they are afraid of hitting me or afraid of the underworld, but because I am afraid that if there is a problem with the brain, it will be contagious.
In life, it is difficult for us to see the underworld now, and the underworld will not shout in the crowd like a fool, "I am the underworld, who will give me death?" The only remaining underworld gangs are generally busy making money. , after all, it is true that the wallet is bulging. Who would fight and chop people all day long like the kitchen knife team in the past? So my dad scolded a nonsense, I can understand, the underworld in the beginning of this film are all suits and small, shiny hair, plus the actors' temperament is also very good, throwing it abroad and saying that this is a diplomat, I think some people will believe it, This is even the most exposed big D is no exception. But I told him, don't worry, look back. So he patiently lit a cigarette and reluctantly agreed to continue appreciating it with me.
No musical rendering, no unnecessary nonsense, two sentences in Chang Mao's mouth, "Big D wants to see you, let's talk about it later", nailing the box, Jimmy is in a class full of English and I can't understand what it is (here it is also emphasized The underworld is advancing with the times, it is no longer the passionate and righteous underworld deduced in "Young and Dangerous"), and the teaching is controlled by the same tension as a textbook.
Uncle Deng told Ale the importance of the faucet stick. Big D threatened to blow the chicken and give him the faucet stick while kicking the box, and then called the big guys to tell them to meet tonight at the "Bone-headed Restaurant", interspersed with The scene of Blowing Chicken calling Uncle Deng, and the scene of Brother Huo Niu bringing Jimmy to find Ale. Big D finally found out the whole story. Brother Sen took 100,000 yuan, which caused Brother Longgen to waver when choosing him. Big D had his own eyeliner in front of Uncle Deng, and all this was reported to Big D truthfully. . In this scene, Big D's face can't be seen clearly, it's basically a shadowy image. I think if the big D's face is photographed at close range, the picture may be more terrifying.
Blowing the chicken and instructing his men to go to Guangzhou to get the sticks, but two boxes fell from the front of their car. The two stopped the car and saw that it was Brother Sen with a broken head and a swollen face, and Longgen, who was tossed to his death. He also helped the big D with some words (in words, Brother Longgen, I wasn’t chatting and laughing with the yellow-clothed girl in the hotel before, so how could it be turbulent after experiencing this wind and rain? Or is it that my roots are not well maintained? Water can carry a boat. Can rowing ~). Here is a close-up shot of Sen Ge and Longgen's faces with bruised noses and swollen faces. The image of Big D in my heart is not much worse than the Dongxing Crow that people talk about in "Young and Dangerous". Crows are even fiercer. (PS: When I saw this, my old man finally nodded, um, they are underworld, no matter how well they pretend to be, they are still underworld, fighting, fierce, aggressive, these are their nature, or An instinct cultivated in the underworld life.)
The tense soundtrack, the younger brother Longgen looked left and right in the crowd of people in the subway, and the camera finally showed the high-speed subway, and a war was about to break out.
In the slow narrative rhythm, the camera came to Uncle Deng and the two bosses. The three of them walked slowly in the dark night. Uncle Deng also led a dog, which was no different from the old neighbors. The camera was shaky, and it seemed to be that this scene was shot in a car. The follow-up of the camera was neither fast nor slow.
Then there was a big raid by Sir, and almost all the big guys outside were arrested. Ah Le, who shared dinner with his son listening to the news at home, and the big D four who had a "gutty" meal and had a fight. Leung Ka Fai's acting skills here are really explosive, chasing chickens, clamoring with Ah Sir, and mocking Hong Kong reporters (question: who is the fastest? Who has the longest lifespan?) I can't wait to strangle this arrogant and domineering big D, In the end, I fought with the reporters, and I wanted to kick the chicken under the obstruction of the Sirs. This made the chicken be shocked. When I wanted to escape, I was hit by a car and was half-dead, and the big D was still screaming: "Bastard. , you go to shoot him!" I don't know if the director did it on purpose, but I always felt that this place satirized Hong Kong reporters and the media (Elder in red: Director, I am very optimistic about you, but do you have... that kind of... superfluous The... ok, give me the extra bottle? Everyone: cut, no, get out!)
The editing after that is the three people taking off their valuables and waistbands, the details are very good, the big D's big gold chain is small gold Watch (one is the owner of three small barbecues a day), Uncle Deng did not take off the watch, Ale was very simple, only took off his belt. There are doubts here, I hope you can learn more about popular science, what is the rule of unwinding the belt, do Sirs all like that...
Ale, Da D, and Uncle Deng were put in prison respectively, and then Ale and Da D met lawyers and relatives respectively, Both sides asked to help themselves solve the problem of the faucet stick.
As soon as the camera turned, the lawyer talked to Huo Niu. Huo Niu didn't want to go into the muddy water while eating the noodles, but the lawyer said: "If you lose the stick, you have no face." Yes, face. I don't know how to put the price on face. Some people don't have face, but they get along well, but some people can't get along if they lose face. Obviously, the underworld is still the underworld. You can't lose face, lose face No one will be afraid of you, no matter how vicious you act, so Huo Niu sends his subordinates, Da Tou and Master Su, to Guangzhou to find Longtou Stick. The four-eyed uncle) grew up together in Guangzhou when we were young, so I did this job.
As soon as the camera turned, it seemed to be taken in the car again. This time the car was driving much faster than the previous shooting. Big D's subordinate Chang Mao asked Dongguan Tsai and his boss for help, so Dongguan Tsai took the errand. I also like this set of comparison shots. One occupies the commanding heights of morality, and the other serves as a cover for others to send sugar-coated cannonballs, which is the commanding heights of interests.
Datou and Shiye Su found their friend Tongge in Guangzhou, and they also coincided with what Datou said in front of him when he and Siyanming grew up in paddy fields in Guangzhou. Sieyeming was stripped and threw on the ground, facing the three strong men. trembling. Master Su stammered and gave Tong Ge a favor: "I remember your wife gave birth to a child in Hong Kong. It's two years old. Don't you want him to go to school in Hong Kong?" Tong Ge saw that he had won enough benefits and took the money. Leaving (human nature!) The background music is just right, the tense atmosphere, and the big scene that is about to explode. Although the master Su stutters, he is full of wisdom, and the big head just watches quietly. When Brother Tong went out, there was a line of big characters written in red pen on the humble little house, and he went back and read it twice: We must adhere to the spirit of socialism. Old Du, this man, eat jujube pills! Get the clothes! However, for the depiction of details and the control of tension, I really fell in love with this director from here.
The two asked about the whereabouts of the faucet stick. It was hidden in the stove and put out the fire. It happened that the police came to search for it. Master Su told Datou to run first. After a lot of rules, he took over the faucet stick from Master Su. When the police entered the house, Master Su found out that the corps was his former acquaintance, Daquan Leopard, and found that he was an undercover agent, so they had some bargaining, and the final dialogue was in line with the characteristics of our country.
"My brother was kidnapped, and I came to pick him up, but I didn't break the law!"
"You said no? Huh?" The
camera returns to Hong Kong. Deng Fei, who was detained in the police station, and two big bosses were arrested by Ah Sir. During the arraignment, the two sides exchanged opinions. Neither of them wanted to cause trouble, but wanted to make money in peace, and their interests coincided with each other. Deng Fei asked the other two bosses to talk to Ale and Big D.
"Uncle Deng promised to let you be the talker next year!"
"I promised you to be the police commissioner next year!"
(According to historical records, Big D was successfully elected as the next deputy police commissioner and called back. His real name is Li Wenbin.)
"If you don't help me, I'll do it myself, Xinhe Liansheng (Xin'anyi)!"
(There are also historical sources that a person named Shen Wei came to Xin'anyi and made a lot of big news. .)
Tucao returns to Tucao, and the series is to series. Leung Ka Fai's acting skills are really enjoyable to watch. In the three separated prison gates, everyone went from talking to big D clamoring. However, if Big D understands the warning and learns to brake, I think the ending will definitely be different from what it is now. Dim lights, dense iron nets, and some dodging cameras make it difficult to see the expressions of the people inside, but it is not difficult to make up their expressions through the explicit dialogue. To Qifeng's narrative technique is very obscure and subtle, always avoiding something deliberately, but in "Underworld 2" he completely subverted his usual narrative technique.
The conversation between Deng Fei and Ah Sir was simple and clear. In fact, it would be more quintessential not to explain the lines later.
"What do you think of Deng Fei?"
"Let's fight."
Two sentences are enough, but Du Qifeng's ambition seems to be greater, and he continues the dialogue, allowing the audience to see a darker side and a more real underworld.
"Do you think it's a legitimate business? Whether you have anything to eat depends on whether we give it or not! If we don't give you, you don't even have to do valet parking!"
"Then you see what would happen if there was no valet parking on the street? There is no underworld. What will happen to the food?"
"Try it, I will arrest whoever commits a crime."
"We and Liansheng have 50,000 people, and the other clubs together have hundreds of thousands of people. No rules are no order, look at yours. I can’t sit still in the cell! I joined the underworld at the age of twelve, and I can’t stop it, and some things have to be based on principles.”
Ah Sir acted impulsive, but Deng Fei has been calm and did not even speak aloud, To Qifeng wanted to show things are self-evident. No matter black or white, a cat that can catch mice is a good cat. At the end of the shot, Deng Fei still proposed that he wanted to see the big D. Deng Fei, the old soy sauce, has a degree of relaxation. First, let you understand that you cannot change history by yourself, and then tell you, Sir, in fact, I don't want to do this either. Who doesn't want to? Happy and peaceful?
Deng Fei came to the cell where Big D was being held. Big D was like a child who had done something wrong, squatting on the seat of the cell with his head lowered, as if he was reflecting. It can be seen that Uncle Deng's status is at least very high in Big D's heart. Big D did not show his arrogance, but was like a wronged child, constantly saying things like "I am better than Ale" to Uncle Deng, Uncle Deng only asked twice in a row, "Are you going to create a new and winning streak?" Big D continued to tell Uncle Deng about his grievances, but Uncle Deng just said lightly, "Well, it's okay. hit" and walked out of the cell. Yes, children only see right and wrong, adults only see the pros and cons. Big D will always be a child in front of Uncle Deng, and Uncle Deng will always be that dignified elder.
"If you want to bring down the club, no one will agree. All the brothers will beat you."
The word "hit" appeared again. Different from Ah Sir's way of speaking, Deng Fei always spoke lightly, but "hit" "This simple, rude and powerful word once again showed the strength he should have. I had the illusion that Uncle Deng did not match his old and exhausted body. Leaders who don't go to war.
In the last shot, Big D is in the middle cell, there are also two cells next to it, and the other two big guys are locked, but the camera is behind two stone pillars, separating the cells, Big D yelling, and the other two big guys are silent Be silent. After all, the strong big D loses people's hearts. He can only take out his thorns for people to see, "I'm very powerful, don't mess with me and fight if you want". In fact, his heart is empty, because no one will respond anymore. His words are in stark contrast to his own invincibility at the beginning of the film.
In Guangzhou, Datou sat in a truck and watched the truck driver finish the phone call. As soon as the camera turned, Dongguan Aberdeen was resting with his head raised in the car. Dongguan Aberdeen was sitting in the front seat with long hair. The two of them stared at the front glass of the car, which was the direction the truck was about to approach. The music of the guitar strumming here is not It rang suddenly. The handling here is very good, obviously it is a person who is lying still, but Dongguan Zai's eyes are like swords, plus the sound is just right, I can't help but sweat for the fate of the big head.
The music stopped, the driver urinated and fled, and the camera showed the car key being pulled out.
Dongguan Aberdeen and the long-haired car drove up and found that there was no sign of the big head in the car. Several people checked separately, Dongguan Zai was looking for the trace of the big head in the wild, and found that the bird in front was startled, and the nervous strumming sounded again. Dongguan Zai followed the trace of the big head and ran over, and successfully found the grass cut in the grass. A bruised head. In the tense atmosphere, the two did not act immediately, but looked at each other for a while before starting the conversation. At this time, the big head said a more classic line.
"Robbery brother's property, secretly helping outsiders to rob brother's property, five mines will be killed."
I don't know whether the role of the big head is for the purpose of deduction or satire. I always feel that the underworld I watch is different from some things I have seen in my life. Same, they are even more disciplined than a normal person like me.
Several pictures interspersed at this time, it is clear that Datou and Dongguanzi's boss are in a very formal meeting in Hong Kong, and they each called their own men and ordered them to bring back the faucet stick. Datou was obedient, and after reading the rules of the gang, he gave the faucet stick to Dongguan Zai. When Datou let go, he showed his concern. Dongguan Zai took the faucet stick and said something embarrassed, and ran with a low body.
The plot is clear here, the big D (the scene in the prison has been clearly expressed) has lost his heart, and no big boss will stand up to support him again. Ale has won the hearts of the people, and all the bosses are on his side for various reasons. So the plot went on smoothly.
Ale grabbed the faucet stick, sat on the throne of the boss, fooled the big D, and the brothers made money and made a fortune together.
To be honest, the ending was very depressing. In fact, the whole movie was very depressing. The right guitar strumming was the leading stick throughout the whole movie. Big D went from being evenly matched with Ale to losing people’s hearts. He walked slowly and slowly with his chess pieces and finally won the victory, chattering like a Tang monk, talking about the big head of the gang rules, a few big bosses like the grass on the wall, the stammering but wise master Su, the replica of the big D Dongguan Zai, fierce The killer plane (actually, the character of the plane is not the same as the big D, although he is ruthless, the plane is more restrained, and the scene where he eats a spoon is also introduced at the beginning. Hero, so I use the image of a killer to describe the plane.), Deng Fei, who is calm, and several Ah Sirs.
To be honest, after analyzing it again and thinking about this movie, there are too many connotations and essences. I think it is not only the interior of the underworld that it wants to map. Before, I thought that "Gunfire" and "Underworld 2" could only express To Qifeng's ambition, but now it seems that "Underworld 1" can also express To Qifeng's ambition very well.
I remember that after watching it that day, my dad asked me one sentence: Is this the end of the show?
In fact, I really like this kind of restrained but unfinished ending, like a cup of tea, the more you drink, the more flavorful it becomes.
As for why the title is called an alternative underworld, because before that, I have only seen the Italian mafia in the "Godfather" trilogy with such a refined and connotative image. The underworld in China, including Hong Kong and Taiwan, has always been fighting and killing in the mouth. Woo cha cha gangsters, the gangsters here are even darker, as the saying goes, a dog that bites usually doesn't bark.
