Really defeated

I really admire Leslie Cheung's acting skills, and I also strongly disagree with Chow Yun-fat, who went to Hollywood to develop into a mess and shoot bad movies. But I must say sincerely that Leslie Cheung’s gun king was defeated in front of Chow Yun-fat’s bloody duo.

I have no way to define Chow Yun-fat. His temperament is too mixed, there is only one thing, he can not be a supporting role wherever he is placed. How can there be people with such a strong sense of existence? The same is holding a gun. Leslie Cheung holds it professionally and beautifully. He loves guns more than women. Zhou Yunfa held the gun as natural as holding a cigarette, and the gun existed for him.

I remember there was a passage where Li Xiuxian was sitting on the chair Chow Yun-fat had sat on, and imagined that he was Chow Yun-fat. The camera floated past the windows, switching between the two at any time. Chow Yun-fat performed the same posture, leisurely but full of domineering. Li Xiuxian didn't understand why he didn't feel anything.

The word domineering always feels inappropriate to describe Chow Yun-fat. Fat Tsai always smiles, but the feeling of oppression is really overwhelming.

Remember the last scene, before he and Li Xiuxian rushed out, they talked and laughed freely. I looked at his cut face and eyes with a smile reaching the bottom of my eyes, and suddenly I felt very relieved.

Is this A Zhuang a real man?

I remember that Chow Yun-fat was interviewed once and the reporter asked him if Wu Yusen was gay, otherwise why his movies always value the relationship between men so much. Fatzai still said with a smile, because in Chinese culture, men are the masters of society, and it is the business between men and men. Women can be ignored.

Alas, I have to admit that this world is originally a man's world.

    What is the meaning of John Woo's film, I have no idea at all. Gunfights are like fighting zombies.

    Wu's heroic films never show off narrative skills. They go straight to put the protagonist in a dangerous situation, and then go to great lengths to survive again and again. In addition to passion, I am more willing to exaggerate the helplessness and sympathy of people in the rivers and lakes under the general climate. And the irrational battle outside of the judiciary, even if it is just a moment of light of axiom and justice, is the most direct and effective anesthesia to the audience.
