The use of trivial details in police, bandit and gangster films

I have watched both of the films "Violent Neighborhood" mentioned by Mr. Haitian Feiyu, and I have watched a lot of these movies about police, gangsters and gangsters in the past. In the early Hong Kong and Taiwan films, I remembered the shootout and Chow Yun-fat, and recently I watched "City of God", "Gomorrah", etc., and many more, I forgot after watching it, even though it was a blockbuster, even though it was advertised when it was released. vigorous. In fact, this type of film only pursues visual impact and sensory stimulation. Although it also uses social problems to reflect various confusions and confusions in human life, it is similar to those martial arts and sci-fi movies, such as "The Ninth" After all, there are only a few movies that have a deeper connotation like "District". In the end, most movies do not make you worry about the country and the people, and care about the survival of human beings, but only for temporary audio-visual enjoyment. The reason why such films have a considerable market really reflects the characteristics of people and the way people live in today's society.

Therefore, the goal of filming this type of film is quite clear, starting from the use of a complex storyline, gradually turning to the characteristics of the story process, using the continuous improvement of high-tech audio-visual technology to achieve audio-visual shocking effects, such as "007 series" hits from the ground to the sky, using nuclear weapons, and some movies use high-definition to show that bullets will turn and so on. Those profound and complex social problems, those terrifying and bloody fighting scenes have all turned into a means of entertainment. In this regard, "Violence Neighborhood" also has its distinctive features, that is, the use of "escape". In fact, all these films have escape and chase scenes. For example, the car chase scene developed from running has become more and more classic. But from the point of view of people running, they are often filmed very realistically and have little imagination, but "Violence Block" has created a new feeling in this regard. At least I feel that the sense of oppression of desperation is completely gone. Look at the protagonist. The escape is like an appreciation. The film has deliberately strengthened this, using a lot of footage and time to express this "escape", moving upstairs and downstairs, moving and jumping on the top of the building, all this is not a high-tech exaggeration effect, but Trying to express the protagonist's agile movements and sturdy skills as faithfully as possible, so as to shape the image of the protagonist, like a martial arts warrior with good skills, without the feeling of a demon, which left a deep impression on me. Because the film is embellished with this kind of scene, the whole film has a certain rhythm, full of banter and lightness, of course, it is quite far from the theme that the film wants to reflect. Some friends think that the combination of extreme and action is a very eye-catching idea for this movie. In addition to marveling at the parkour, I am even more emotional about the importance of exercising a strong physique to survival! I feel that the generalization is very precise.

If it is said that "City of God", "Gomorrah" and other films are too real, then "Wolverine" and the like are too fake. From this perspective, "Violence Neighborhood" still feels a bit.
