John Woo is my favorite director, there is no one, and the heroic character can be regarded as one of his masterpieces.
The heroic character series has been read once as early as junior high school, and I am deeply impressed.
I saw a restored version of The Color of Heroes in the cinema a few years ago, and I watched The Color of Heroes 3 on the TV in the hotel a few months ago. Recently, I finally remembered to watch the hero's true colors II during my illness.
Look at the heroic character 2 again, deeply immersed in the imagery in the film, the church, rice, children, oranges, guns, blood, little brother's clothes and more than 40 bullet holes on it...
Even when the fourth uncle was desperate, Uncle Jian asked, "Do you think about it, do you have any friends overseas?" Uncle Jian said, "Yes! In New York." I remembered it for a long time.
Applejack's death and the birth of his child, the end of life and the new birth, are full of contrasting sadness.
Looking at it again, of course there are new people and things that touch me. That is the killer Xiaozhuang, as the villain's confidant, he hardly ever said a word, wearing black clothes, wearing sunglasses, can't see his eyes, at the end of the movie, when he was offered money to go, he Without leaving, he chose a fair fight under the condition that he could kill Ken. The two shot at each other at the same time, paused and shot at the same time. What's particularly peculiar is that this time the two even took off their sunglasses at the same time and looked at each other's glasses. what is this? This is the respect between the two, this is mutual sympathy, and this is an enemy with sincerity. This is a modern version of the duel between Ah Fei and Jing Wuming in Gu Long's writings. I don't know if Woo Yusen and Gu Long have made friends, but I think it is very likely that the two of them will become confidants.
Xiao Zhuang died under the gun of Ken, his face was expressionless, as if this was the ending he had long predicted...
Woo Yusen is partial to Xiaozhuang, which can be seen from two points. One, Ken was unscathed in the hail of bullets, and all the gunshot wounds on his body came from Xiaozhuang. Second, John Woo's other masterpiece "Blood Two Heroes", the protagonist's name is Xiaozhuang.
Death, whether it is someone else or oneself, may be the dirge of the killer.
