heroic nature

A good old movie, I recently rewatched it and found it more interesting. The focus of the story revolves around the dramatic conflict between Dillon and Leslie Cheung. But in contrast, the most outstanding thing in this film is to create the role of Brother Ma. I have to say that it is too stealing. Even the appearance of Brother Fa can directly weaken the core drama conflict (brother confrontation) and create a plot alone. Attract points.
I think this film wins not in the plot and scenes but in the characterization. Ajie, who hates evil, the cynical Pony, and Zihao, who values ​​love and justice, all left a deep impression on people. In fact, the protagonists of this film are Dillon and Leslie Cheung, but their brilliance has been overshadowed by Chow Yun-fat. Brother Pony uses US dollar bills to light cigarettes, and the appearance of a match in the market's mouth has influenced a generation. From the performance point of view, the three protagonists are quite hardworking, which makes it very enjoyable to watch.

A Better Tomorrow quotes

  • Mark Gor: That's enough! I don't need your pity! You don't owe me anything. I would never force my own friends to do something they wouldn't do. I have my own regulations. I just don't want to live like this any more. Do you think I like to beg? I've been in bad shape for three years, waiting for this opportunity. This is my only chance, not to prove that I'm the best, but to simply take back what I have lost. Look at yourself. Look at what you've become. Back then, people rejected you. Now you can't even take two steps without someone following you. Have you ever fought for a chance? You never have. Never! don't want to be like you.

  • Mark Gor: If we don't watch, we'll have nothing.
