If I have a movie dream, then the starting point of this dream is the bloody duo.
Two men with the same wind interpret the true meaning of the "righteousness" that men live and die for in a poem-like movie in a bizarre city.
I don't remember how many times I watched this movie.
I remember every line, every shot, every light and shadow, every look in my eyes.
Needless to say Chow Yun-fat and Li Xiuxian’s relaxed performances, not to mention Wu’s fighting, which is hailed as a violent aesthetic, let alone the white pigeons flying up in the church, just the warm golden red that runs through the whole film in the lens. , Let him be confused like a dream epic.
The Bloody Two Heroes is the last publicity of Chinese classical idealism in the modern society where interests are paramount without norms based on the concept of good and evil in the age of weapons. It is also a cut from a loyal society to a profitable society.
From then on, the true character of the soul-stirring man only exists in the legend. Young and Dangerous chaos has become the mainstream of society.
Since then, commitment, principle, loyalty and affection have all become commodities to be sold, testing our moral bottom line time and time again.
A killer who uses wanton trampling on other people's lives as a means of making a living decides to save an unrelated woman; a policeman who captures the killer, in order to fight against the bigger wicked, fights side by side with the killer.
In the sparks of rival scenes, the killer and the police found that they had surprisingly consistent integrity, loyalty, love and justice, the values and life concepts of ancient Chinese chivalrous men.
So two irreconcilable opponents will inevitably stage a tragedy, because the real tragedy does not come from our defects, weaknesses and mistakes, but from our virtues.
In order to fulfill his promise to Xiaozhuang, the fourth brother went to the gangster Wang Hai for money alone. After a fight, he gave the money to Xiaozhuang with bruises and bruises.
Xiaozhuang: Fourth Brother...
Fourth Brother: I took your money back. I finally have an explanation to my friend.
Xiaozhuang: Fourth brother, you have worked hard.
Fourth brother: He said I am a dog, and I don't know if I am a human...or a dog?
Xiaozhuang: Fourth brother, no one is qualified to say that to you.
Fourth brother: I don't want to be beaten to death like a dog. I wanted to die more gloriously. Unfortunately, I didn't even have the last bullet.
Xiaozhuang: I have.
What is righteousness, righteousness is a kind of morality. A fair and reasonable behavior based on human nature and selfless sacrifice as a means of realization.
The fourth brother is righteous to Xiao Zhuang, Xiao Zhuang is righteous to Jenny, Li Ying is righteous to Xiao Zhuang, Zeng Ye is righteous to Li Ying, and it is even more righteous for Xiao Zhuang to kill the fourth brother.
Legalists hate righteousness, because righteousness is beyond the law and cannot be controlled; Confucianism is also afraid of righteousness, because righteousness is the closest to human nature, and Confucianism is the most inhumane; Mo school is the representative of chivalry; and Taoism says: Dao is broken, there is benevolence and righteousness!
When material desires are rampant, where is the eternal way.
Li Ying: Can you not kill people? Put down the gun and follow me.
Xiaozhuang: Put the gun down? My friend for more than ten years, I just shot him to death! You let me put down the gun now? ……go? They will chase me at the end of the world, and if there is no way to go, I will fight with them! You go out now and tell them that you are a policeman! See if they will put down the gun?
The killer Xiaozhuang is a person above the social rules, and his code of conduct is righteousness; while Li Ying, a policeman, was restricted by his profession as naive, until finally he saw Xiaozhuang's tragic death, and Wang Hai went to ask the police. Protection. After he killed Wang Hai angrily, he broke his own rules, but achieved his own righteousness.
As the last idealistic elegy of the Hong Kong film, the bloody duo and the blind girl Jenny groped for each other on the ground but missed it. And the ending of Xiao Zhuang's sad death, I just want to tell these people who are obsessed with benevolence and righteousness. Kind-hearted people with courtesy, wisdom and faith,
this arena is no longer the same : this is no longer suitable for us, we are too nostalgic.
