Five stars to take those classic clips from "Infernal Affairs 1" and "Infernal Affairs 2".
The so-called actor is, if you don't change your lines, you can't stop itching.
The reason why the "Infernal Affairs" series was remade by Japan ("Double Face") and the United States ("Infernal Affairs") also won an Oscar, in addition to the background setting, I think its success is that it is like a salt hanging The umami of the ingredients is in general, and the amazing acting skills of each actor in this movie are hung.
1. In "Infernal Affairs 1", Zeng Zhiwei and Huang Qiusheng had a conversation at the police station. Zeng Zhiwei was eating with relish one second before, and the next second he flipped the table and was arrogant. It is said that the phrase "Who have you seen going to the funeral home to shake hands with the dead?" was also changed by Zeng Zhiwei himself.
Also, when "Infernal Affairs 2" started, everyone would sigh when they saw that they were so intimately similar back then.
2. "Infernal Affairs" should be the peak of Andy Lau's acting skills, right? Although it can't be called a slap in the face, at least it won't make people feel embarrassed.
3. The best actor in the Academy Awards that year was awarded to Tony Leung. Rather than discussing Tony Leung's acting skills, it's better to say that his eyes are so subtle; I think Wong Kar-wai must have known at a glance that Tony Leung is the kind of actor he wants: he doesn't need a big expression, just a gesture of gestures and a screenshot. Can be a movie poster, extremely stylized actor. Whether it is the gangster in "Infernal Affairs", 663 in "Chongqing Forest", or Mr. Yi in "Lust and Caution", the eyes of each image are so deep and meaningful.
4. Huang Qiusheng's scene when he faced the explosion in "Infernal Affairs 2" was a textbook-like performance. I have seen tourists drowning in a coma by the sea, their family members kneeling beside them crying and looking around; so when I saw this scene, I really felt very empathy.
The Swiss female psychologist Elisabeth Kübler-Ross pointed out that people go through five stages when they grieve:
Denial
Anger (Grumpy)
Bargaining (tangled, trying to bargain)
Depression
Acceptance
Let's take a look at how Huang Qiusheng handled this scene: he panicked and collapsed, rushed over, took off his suit and put out the fire, unable to accept the reality and shouted to Hu Jun, "Come out!"; then he looked around helplessly, angry He yelled into the air, "Help!...Help...", and then rushed downstairs to get a fire extinguisher to put out the fire.
I think his actions when putting out the fire are very interesting: he cried and put out the fire with the fire extinguisher, then stopped, continued to press the handle for a while, and finally dropped the fire extinguisher and walked back and forth randomly, like a small crying like a child. This series of actions is actually the conflict in his heart between accepting reality and avoiding denial.
Finally, he accepted the reality, collapsed on the ground, and Ren Yu fell on himself.
But of the two films, my favorite is Wu Zhenyu's interpretation of Ni Yongxiao.
Wu Zhenyu seems to be born for the villain role. It's not that he doesn't play the decent role well, but that his villain role is really fascinating.
I'm glad he didn't follow the image of Liang Kun in "Young and Dangerous". Liang Kun's badness is too flamboyant, too gathered between the eyebrows, looking at his eyes makes people horrified.
And what about Ni Yongxiao?
He wears glasses and always wears a stone-colored suit. Until the conversation with Han Chen at the food stall, he has always looked like a gentleman, with a calm face no matter what. Never show other expressions, everything is family-oriented.
"Dad used to do everything for the family, me too, and I hope you too."
Did you think of The Godfather, Vito Don Corleone?
And his gentle appearance is very similar to Michael Corleone: he is weak and weak, but he handles things with absolute viciousness and cruelty.
Let the four big bosses tell the Ni family the scene, just a few minutes of play, but people have to rethink the character Ni Yongxiao, it is no wonder Huang Qiusheng said to him, "It seems that this boy will be yours in the future. ,Thanks for your hard work."
Finally, the word "filial piety" is a reason and reason for Ni Yongxiao's actions in this film, and it is also doomed to his sighing ending.
Compared with Chen Yongren and Liu Jianming when they were young, I think Wu Zhenyu, or Ni Yongxiao, is the soul of "Infernal Affairs 2", while the first two are more of a witness, witnessing the downfall of the Ni family dynasty. Chen's superior position, as well as the special environment in 1997, "the mountain and rain are about to come and the building is full of wind".
In addition, after watching "Infernal Affairs 2", and recalling all kinds of things in the first part, I can't help but sigh the drama of fate, and the complicated relationship and connection between the characters who can't tell who is right and who is wrong.
If "Infernal Affairs 1" tells the story of Chen Yongren and Liu Jianming, then "Infernal Affairs 2" puts all the characters, big and small, in that big era from the perspective of an outsider.
So I especially like the ending of Infernal Affairs 2:
The festive background music, the montage of the old and the new in the police station, the voice of the female announcer.
Han Chen looked at the fireworks, recalled the right and wrong, then opened the door and toasted with everyone to welcome the return of Hong Kong.
