At the beginning of the film, the two scenes are very romantic and yet tension-free, both in connection and in the process. First of all, the first scene described a man in a trench coat walking into a church where white doves can be seen everywhere. He directly sat next to a man who was already in the church. After a while, the man in the trench coat broke the calm and asked: "Do you believe this too?" The man played by Zhou Yunfa replied, "I like the cleanliness here, and I feel very comfortable sitting here." As soon as the words fell, they smiled at each other. This smile shows that they have a deep friendship besides trading. Then the man in the windbreaker handed him a box with photos, money, and guns in it, which made it clear at a glance. It turns out that Chow Yun-fat's role is a killer, and the man in the trench coat is the so-called killer agent in the legend. Then the man in the trench coat saw Chow Yun-fat not inspecting the pistol and asked: "You don't check the gun?" Chow Yun-fat replied, "I believe you." Just after the voice fell, the music of "Shallow Dream Life" sounded, accompanied by Chow Yun-fat's departure. The whole picture is slowed down and accompanied by Ye Qianwen's affectionate singing, which adds a bit of loneliness and romance to the picture. With the singing, the film enters the next scene. In this scene, Ye Qianwen, who plays singer Jenny, happens to sing "A Life of Light Dreams". As soon as Zhou Runfa entered the door, the two met at the same time. At this moment, everything in the world seemed to be in a static state except for the two of them, and this affectionate song seemed to be sung for him alone. But the story is not so beautiful and romantic, because he came to perform the killer mission, Zhou Yunfa avoided Ye Qianwen's eyes and went to the depths of the club. The next shootout was handled very well. Chow Yun-fat knocked on the door twice. After the door was opened, Chow Yun-fat fired three shots at the person who opened the door. (In the second shot, the camera cuts to the shot shot from the back and slows down the shot speed.) Then Chow Yun-fat jumped into the room, holding double guns, and killed the two gunmen by the door at the same time. (The speed of the picture slows down when jumping, and returns to the original speed when it is about to land.) Then in a mid-range shot of Chow Yun-fat, after he quickly killed a gunman in the left rear corner with his left hand pistol, he pointed his right finger to the boss who was drawing the gun in front of him. (That is, his mission goal). After the close-up of the right-hand pistol, there was a gunshot, and the camera shot close-up of the boss's head. Chow Yun-fat fired 3 shots at him with his left-hand pistol. (These 3 shots slowed down and cut the shots of Chow Yun-fat and the boss shot back and forth. The final screen ended with the close-up shot of the boss falling on the desktop.) Then Chow Yun-fat raised both guns and fired at the window. (In this series of scenes, when Chow Yun-fat was given a close-up shot, the screen speed began to slow down, and then the scene was cut to the back of the shot who was shot for a close shot, and then the shot was shot in the middle shot.) The plot followed by the gunner at the bar counter. The shotgun aimed at Zhou Yunfa. (With the sound of the gunshot, the camera slowed down and took a close-up of the place where he was hit. This technique was repeated twice.) Chow Yun-fat approached him and shot him. (The shot slowed down the picture in a close-up moment after he was shot. In this process, the shots of Chow Yun-fat and the shot-shot were cut back and forth twice.) Just as Chow Yun-fat dropped the gun and was about to leave, a hidden gunman tried to pick it up. A shotgun fired at him. At this critical moment, Zhou Yunfa saw a revolver on the opposite side of the table, so he stepped on a corner of the table, picked up the gun that had taken off, and fired three shots at the gunman. (The whole process used slow speed and original speed switching in order to exaggerate the tension.) After killing all the gunmen in the room, Chow Yun-fat walked out of the room. At this time, Jenny came from the other side. Fired a shot but missed it, but was shot by Chow Yun-fat instead. Encountering Jenny at the corner, the alertness of the killer made him the first reaction to point a gun at her. She was scared and ran back, which was dangerous. Zhou Yunfa directly followed and threw her down and killed her. One of the gunners in, but the rear lost his defense. After Chow Yun-fat was fired twice by a gunman from the rear, he turned around and killed him with one shot, but the gunfire wounded Jenny’s eyes. The whole process was to show the incident. The urgency and tragic nature slowed down the picture from the moment Chow Yun-fat was shot. The whole process was done in one go, yet elegant in tension. The two scenes combine dynamic and static. The scenes from the church to the club hall are relatively quiet, using affectionate music to switch scenes, which makes people feel a touch of romance and makes the audience feel immovable (the whole film has used this many times. Skill). But just as the audience was still immersed in the emotional moment just now, a gunshot brought everyone back to reality. In this shootout, Mr. Wu Yusen used a lot of close-up close-ups and slow motions to cleverly photograph the killing without losing elegance and poetry. This is Wu Yusen's violent aesthetics. The two seemingly contradictory plays complement each other, forming a poetic audio-visual feast, which not only fascinates people, but also establishes a basic style for the work. Let's return to the plot. It has been 6 months since the assassination. In the past 6 months, Chow Yun-fat was very guilty for hurting Jenny's eyes, so he was always around her to protect her. And in the precipitation of time, she felt affection for Jenny. Finally, one night, two gangsters tried to rob Jenny. After Zhou Run issued a hand to stop her, she had the opportunity to contact Jenny and sent her home. At Jenny's house, he learned that her eye injury was worsening, and saw the gap between her previous life and her current life, and he felt infinite apology and distress in his heart. Then Jenny offered to play music to him. As soon as the music of "A Life of Light Dreams" sounded, Chow Yun-fat flashed all kinds of sad memories of the incident 6 months ago, and it was very uncomfortable in his heart. Accompanied by the music, in order not to destroy this atmosphere, the editing was used to dissolve over to another male protagonist in the film. In the scene where Li Ying, the policeman, played by Li Xiuxian. At this time, Li Ying was preparing to handle the case. He and his partner Zeng Ye were preparing to pretend to be undercover agents and conduct transactions with gangsters in order to obtain personal stolen goods. However, in the midway of the incident, they fought with their opponents, except for the boss, Huang Xiong, all of them were killed on the spot. Huang Xiong fled to a bus, and Li Ying also chased him. After the two of them got on the bus, the seemingly calm inside of the bus concealed a sense of murder, which was on the verge of breaking out. Suddenly, Huang Xiong hijacked a passenger with lightning speed, and Li Ying shot him decisively, one shot was hit, and then another shot was added to take control of the scene. But Li Ying's solving of the case did not allow him to get the honor that belongs to him. Because the hostage being held had a heart attack, the shock caused by the two shots directly led to her death. The family members did not understand and directly filed a complaint with Li Ying. But they didn't know that Huang Xiong had a severe personality split and had a tendency to kill, besides, Li Ying didn't even know that the hostage had a heart attack. With the inquiries from colleagues and the incomprehension of the citizens, Li Ying left the Complaint Supervision and Investigation Section angrily. On the other hand, Chow Yun-fat took on a very dangerous task in order to allow Jenny to go abroad to treat her deteriorating eyes. At this time, Li Ying received the task of protecting Chow Yun-fat who was about to assassinate during the finishing ceremony of the dragon boat race. The scenes of various dragon boat competitions were spliced and processed slowly, making the scene of the competition a pleasant scene. Until the appearance of Wang Dongyuan, the target of protection and assassination, Zhou Runfa sailed into the picture, and there were instant murders. While Wang Dongyuan was invited to do the finishing touches, he didn't know that he had been targeted by a sniper rifle. This section of the assassination process is particularly interesting. First, Zhou Yunfa drove a speedboat into the picture from behind a ship, and the music became disturbed. At the same time, Chow Yun-fat learned the approximate location of Wang Dongyuan from the broadcast, so Chow Yun-fat tried to locate Wang Dongyuan's specific location with a telescope. A overhead shot with a mid-range lens, instantly showing the skill of the killer while maintaining the beauty of the picture. He noticed the presence of the police through the telescope, and the music became more disturbed. But the anxiety this time describes Chow Yun-fat's inner world, and it has reached a high degree of unity with the restless look on his face. Then the camera cut to Wang Dongyuan's side, it seems that this black and white big bad guy is very popular with the people. This is in great contrast to the words Zeng Ye said when he received the task to protect him ("We must protect this kind of bastard."), and achieve a kind of ironic effect. The camera returned to Chow Yun-fat’s face close-up again. Although she knew it was dangerous, she silently wrapped her left hand with a non-slip cloth. At this time, she slowed down the picture speed. The slow frame speed is matched with the overhead shot of Chow Yun-fat holding up the gun, followed by an upside-down shot of his holding up the gun, and then cut overhead shots of his gun (the screen returns to the original speed), and then switch back to upside down shots of him after a second The shot of setting up the gun (the picture slows down again), a second later, I cut into the sight of the sniper rifle and seemed very happy to see Wang Dongyuan, not knowing that his life was threatened. After a while, Zhou Run issued a sniper rifle, as if an elegant beast found its prey and was waiting for the best time to attack. The camera cut to Wang Dongyuan's side again. At this time, Wang Dongyuan began to do his eyes. When he finished the ceremony, cheering drums immediately sounded. Accompanied by the sound of drums, the camera returned to Zhou Yunfa's face close-up, as if this beast, with its keen perception, felt that the best time to attack was at this time. Suddenly he raised his sniper rifle in a thunderous manner. After aiming, he pulled the trigger without hesitation. We can see this shot from the perspective of the sniper scope. It hits his forehead, but to ensure that there is no prey. To resist the ability, he decisively made up two more shots. There was basically no dialogue in the entire assassination process, but after the use of various lens material stitching and slow processing of the picture, it was accompanied by music that was in line with the atmosphere of the scene, which made a dull violent act, abruptly dangerous and full of tension. Without sacrificing elegance, the whole process is extremely enjoyable. Back to the plot, Wang Dongyuan was killed and alarmed the police. After Chow Yun-fat threw away his tool of crime, he was seen by Li Ying when he was about to leave in the speedboat. Li Ying concluded from his years of police experience that Chow Yun-fat was suspicious, so he and Zeng Ye also got on the speedboat and chased after him. . Chow Yun-fat went ashore on the scheduled safe retreat route. This is a small fishing village, there are no people, only a group of children playing in the sand on the shore, the picture is very calm. In fact, there is a hidden murderous intention. Zhou Yunfa is already in ambush, but he doesn't know it. When Zhou Yunfa saw a little girl he knew, he greeted her and walked towards her. At this moment, the little girl seemed to see something and showed an uneasy expression. Zhou Runfa immediately increased his alertness when he saw this. Using the reflection of his sunglasses, he found that a gunman was aiming at him in the direction the little girl was paying attention to. At this critical moment, when it was said that it was too late and that time was fast, Chow Yun-fat fell and rolled in conjunction with a jump, and while evading several shots, killed the gunman. Then they killed two gunmen on the right and rear one after another. At this time, Li Ying also chased over. He had only wanted to catch Zhou Yunfa. But when he saw Zhou Yunfa risking his life to protect the little girl who was unfortunately shot in a random gun, he actually helped, but due to the duties of the police, he is still obliged to arrest him and go back for investigation. After Zhou Runfa drove away, Li Ying and his partner also found a car to catch up. Li Ying never thought that Chow Yun-fat went to the hospital to save the little girl's life at such a critical moment. After some setbacks, Li Ying let Zhou Runfa run away. When Li Ying returned to the police station, he started investigating Zhou Yunfa. He found the case where Jenny injured her eye six months ago. He thinks that the killer played by Chow Yun-fat is "not too cold." If he hurts Jenny's eyes, then he will definitely come in contact with her. So he was going to start with Jenny. On the other hand, Chow Yun-fat couldn't even think about why the gunmen knew his safe retreat route. The only possibility was that his friend (the killer economic man) betrayed him. He made an appointment with his agent to give him a reward at night. He originally suspected that his friend had betrayed him, but he didn't expect it to be him (it was because Zhou Yunfa was spotted by the police, so the boss behind the scenes, Wang Hai, wanted to kill him.). He was very sad, but he couldn't bear to kill his old friends. Chow Yun-fat knew that he was not safe now, and was afraid that it would be a burden to Jenny, so he decided to let Jenny move with him. When he went to Jenny's house, Li Ying was waiting for her at Jenny's house. But Chow Yun-fat was not an ordinary professional killer, he was not so easy to catch, so he escaped in the end. After Chow Yun-fat left, Li Ying told Jenny all the things, and wanted Jenny to cooperate with the police to lead Chow Yun-fat to appear. On the other side, Wang Hai hired a top professional killer to kill Chow Yun-fat. Soon after, Chow Yun-fat also appeared in the parking lot of Wang Hai Company, preparing to kill Wang Hai. At the same time, his good friend did not hesitate to kneel to Wang Hai to help him ask for rewards. After Wang Hai insulted him, he left by car. When driving on a narrow section, Zhou Yunfa blocked the way. He fired four shots in a row in the car, but the driver was shot dead. Wang Hai was shot twice but it was not fatal, and the last bullet missed. At this time, Wang Hai's little brother arrived, and his friend hurriedly fired a shot at the back of his car to remind him to leave. His friend also followed him to a mountainside, and he got out of the car. In the next special event, the actors acted with special tension. Chow Yun-fat put a gun in his friend's hand and said angrily: "If you still consider me a friend, then shoot me to death, because I don't want my friend to kneel in front of others to beg for me." After his friend pushed him away, sad but categorically said: "I am a useless person, but what I promised my friend, I will definitely do it! If I shoot you to death, I won't have to Kneeling in front of others to help you ask for money! Don’t you think I’m ashamed of doing this?" Zhou Yunfa walked around, returned to the car and meditated for a while and sighed: "This world has changed, and we are no longer suitable for this. Jianghu, because we are too nostalgic." (Yes, this is a classic line that is famous for a long time, that is from here) After hearing this, his friend was very touched, and walked over to comfort him: "Or are we lucky? I don't want me to die. When I left this world without even a friend, what I regret most is that I owe you a love." Chow Yun-fat smiled comfortedly and said: "Being a friend doesn't have to care about so much, otherwise what do you want your friends to do? Is it?" After speaking, they smiled at each other. Although the scene is not very dazzling technically, the explosion of the actors is great, which portrays the depth of the friendship between the two people very well. And also made a deep sigh at the loss of morality. The light in this scene is almost the best in the whole film, as if it is rendering the remaining moral glory. Going to the friend's place, Chow Yun-fat called Jenny, and Jenny asked him to wait for her at the airport tonight. She said that Singapore had a pair of corneas, and the doctor had already booked it for her (of course this is a lie.). When a friend asked him if he was going, he only replied: "She didn't lie to me." Finally, Chow Yun-fat and his friend used a trick to adjust the tiger away from the mountain and easily took Jenny away. After this incident, the boss stopped Li Ying from touching the case again, and even his partner Zeng Ye was sent to help the person who took his case. Unexpectedly, when Zeng Ye was following Chow Yun-fat's friend, he was shot in the neck by a killer hired by Wang Hai, but he was not fatal on the spot. With one last breath, he found the approximate location of Zhou Yunfa's hiding place, and told Li Ying before he died. Li Ying found Chow Yun-fat with great grief and anger. (Wang Hai's killer also followed Li Ying to find Zhou Yunfa's residence). At first, Li Ying was very angry because of the death of his old friend, and shot Chow Yun-fat’s left hand. After Wang Hai’s assassin came, he realized that his target was not Chow Yun-fat, but the boss Wang behind the scenes. Ocean. After a desperate struggle, the three of them retreated safely. After some running-in, Li Ying and Chow Yun-fat established a deep friendship in a short time. Zhou Runfa asked Li Ying to do him a favor. If he dies, take him to the hospital as soon as possible, and transplant the cornea to Jenny. If not, at least give her the money and then send her on the plane. At this moment, Chow Yun-fat's friend brought him the money with his wounds. Unexpectedly, Wang Hai also brought people to follow. First of all, after Chow Yun-fat’s friend got several shots, when he was about to die, he said to Chow Yun-fat: “Neither I nor you fit this world anymore. I don’t want to be beaten to death like a dog. It’s a pity that I even got the last bullet. It's all gone." Zhou Runfa replied sadly: "I have." Then he shot his friend's life in sorrow. This was out of control, Zhou Yunfa decided to start a final desperate fight with them. At first, Li Ying persuaded him to put down the gun and take Jenny out of here. But Zhou Yunfa told him that he had no way to go, this was the only way. Li Ying saw that Chow Yun-fat was besieged by many gunmen, he immediately stood up and joined the battlefield. After a fierce battle, Chow Yun-fat died, tragically, and blind. Li Ying is very sad and angry! He doesn't care what the consequences are. In front of many policemen, he shot Wang Hai twice and shed tears of grief. The last scene is left to the back of the killer played by Chow Yun-fat playing "A Life of Light Dreams" with a harmonica, and then the subtitles appear, and an tragic poetic film ends. Like the previous works of Wu Yusen, the emotional aspect of this film still focuses on brotherhood between men. On the one hand, it is the affection between Chow Yun-fat and his four-year old friend, and on the other hand, the special friendship between Chow Yun-fat and Li Ying. Let me talk about the love between Chow Yun-fat and the fourth brother. The fourth brother sincerely hopes that Chow Yun-fat is good. The only time his heart is evil, he was also forced to desperate. When he learned that Chow Yun-fat assassinated Wang Donghai was to ask for money to treat Jenny and decided to withdraw from the rivers and lakes. , He smiled comfortingly, and this smile carried a deep blessing. And Li Ying asked Zhou Yunfa what he would do if his fourth brother betrayed him again. Chow Yun-fat said, “I still treat him as a friend. After all, he once helped me. The feelings between Chow Yun-fat and Li Ying are special. They met in such a short time, and they have been friends of life and death. I think this is mainly due to them. There are many similarities between them, and they are very affectionate. The film describes Li Ying’s appreciation of Chow Yun-fat, and two of them are particularly vivid. One is when Li Ying asked his colleagues to paint the portrait of Chow Yun-fat, he described him The language of the complaint is all commendatory, with the excited expression on his face, the deep appreciation is clear at a glance. There is also a scene of the murder, he imitated Chow Yun-fat's chic movements sitting on the sofa, the movements are so deceptive, and When Zeng Ye scolded him crazy, he smiled happily. For Chow Yun-fat, Li Ying hoped that his last wish would be fulfilled by him. This is a kind of trust between friends. And the last one. During the duel, Zhou Runfa’s passionate expression when he saw Li Ying had joined the battlefield could only be described in four words in the whole picture: happy and enmity! And the three of them are the only three people in the film who speak morality. In fact, this film is very good. Obviously Mr. Wu Yusen is paying tribute to the French film noir Jean Pierre Melville. Many plots in the film can be seen in the shadow of "Lone Killer". But in the world of "Lone Killer", people appear even more Indifferent, lonely, and innocent at all, so the color of the whole film is basically black, gray, black and gray, but this is in line with the mental state of the French after the war. But Mr. Wu Yusen's "Blood Two Heroes" is not so. Indifferent and ruthless, it more expresses his own concern about the spiritual core of this society. In this film, Mr. Wu Yusen has injected religious elements as always. What is different from the past is that in addition to injecting Christian thought, he also Hidden Buddhism thoughts in the film. I have seen past film critics who like to talk about the Christian thoughts in his films, so I will take a stance this time and talk to you about the Buddhism thoughts hidden in this movie. The Buddha once drew a circle with a red pen and said: "When people are destined to meet, even if they know nothing, no matter what happened to them, no matter how different the roads are, on that day, they will meet unexpectedly in Chihuan. The paths of the characters in the film are so different, but they have all entered this red circle one after another. Most of them have made choices for themselves, but they are all caught in the fate of causality. If Wang Hai didn’t buy murderers, he became suspicious of Chow Yun-fat and did not send someone to kill him, maybe he would not die; if Chow Yun-fat did not choose to redeem, and fled by himself, the final outcome would not be so miserable. He was shot blind when he died; in fact, both of them ended up conforming to the Buddhist causal cycle. Perhaps this is Mr. Wu Yusen’s warning to all of us. In this era of "morality on the sides and profit in the middle", in order to achieve our goals, we have gradually blurred the concept of "being a human being". Even though the world is full of temptations, we must abide by our principles. After all, "you can't take it with you in any way, only karma is with you". The fame and fortune of a person's life are all in vain. The only thing that can be taken away is the good and evil fruits of a lifetime. It is not that it is not repaid, but the time has not yet arrived. Perhaps this is the reason why Mr. Wu Yusen's film can become a classic. Not only the story is made with poem-like elegance, but also his own philosophy of life is injected. He is a very humanistic and caring director. His films can be said to be emotions and memories that a generation cannot express with words. Now he is about to enter the age of antiquity, but he is still working hard, hoping to bring better works to movie fans. However, regardless of the quality of his current works, he is worthy of our respect. Let us all applaud Mr. Wu Yusen! ! ! ! Perhaps this is the reason why Mr. Wu Yusen's film can become a classic.
