Interesting place:
Tony Leung’s role setting: send white roses + cards as information codes; every time a person is killed, a paper crane is folded, and paper cranes hanging in the house are often used to set off the inner emotions of the characters; character image creation It’s very rich, talk about ideals, I want to go to Iceland, there is sunshine for 24 hours;

rhythm: in

Atmosphere; the conversation between the bar and Wu Yusen; put the lighter in the pocket of Xiao Gao’s shirt and shoot; the hostess slapped the bad guy in the baby room to make him quieter, and finally when the bad guy came across again, she slapped her back, she shot; Xiao bb peeed Wet Chow Yun-fat’s trouser legs, extinguishing the fire on his trousers, and saved his life; Chow Yun-fat used wires to escape the explosive hospital like Tarzan. The

lens design:
its focus on scene scheduling, a large number of swing arms or Steadicam lenses. The environment is shaken by the protagonist of the story; compared with the current gunfight movie, the shot is longer, more scheduling, multiple group performances, and multiple atmospheres to create a

violent aesthetic: it
doesn't feel too much, and it feels much richer than many purely violent directors of Hong Kong movies, such as The tenderness in character creation, such as the cleanest and brutal contrast between Chow Yun-fat’s gun battle with the baby, and the blood splattered on the baby’s face
