Violent aesthetics and human nature excavation


At the end of the whole film, when Wu Jing was pressed against the glass by Zhang Jin and suffered a heavy blow, I clearly saw that the glass behind Wu Jing was not sugar glass, but genuine tempered glass. . That punch was powerful enough to penetrate the heart through the screen. Compared with the strength of this kind of punching, the visual impact of driving around is not worth mentioning at all.

In addition, the unknown killer used a knife to steal the patient's blood plasma, the bloody fight in the prison, Wu Jing's steel bar to self-mutilate, Zhang Jin's Wolverine gauntlet pierced Tony Jia's chest, and The instant sight of bullets passing through the human body in a shootout is enough to make people feel like they are in it. With all these thrills to stimulate our adrenaline, is it a bit redundant to nitpick the plot and logic of the film?

The plot revolves around the illegal trading of human organs. In order to save his life, Mr. Hong (Gu Tianle) does not hesitate to set up a bureau to try to harvest his own brother's heart. This is a businessman who has achieved the ultimate, as long as he is selfish, he will spare no expense. The current mainland is actually retracing the old path of primitive capital accumulation in capitalist countries (including Hong Kong), with some people getting rich quickly at the cost of the complete annihilation of human nature. I don't know how long this path will take.


Sha ·Bao·Lang


Sha Baolang refers to the three constellations in the sky, which are called Qisha, Pojun, and Sirius. When Samsung is present, there will be turmoil in the world. The name of the film was chosen to take its effect, that is, to abandon the original binary police and bandit film routine, and blur the boundaries between positive and negative characters. No one does good for no reason, and no one does evil for no reason. People are in the rivers and lakes, and there are too many involuntarily.

Police Achai (Tonyja) had to obey the warden (Zhang Jin) in order to save his daughter suffering from leukemia. When Jie (Wu Jing) was thrown into prison, he accidentally discovered the dark and evil background behind the prison director, and he questioned what he had done. In the end, it was a difficult decision for him to decide to stand on the side of justice. It would be difficult to make a choice if it was on his side.

Almost 20 years later, Wu Jing is still not old, regardless of appearance or body. When Donnie Yen couldn't move, he could still go into battle, just like the vigorous Yang Yugan in "The Master of Tai Chi".

If seeing Wu Jing is like meeting with old friends again, then seeing Tony Jia and Zhang Jin is like meeting two dazzling new friends. Although Tony Jia's visual perception is equivalent to Song Xiaobao in a low-light environment, but he is not tall, but he is very strong and has a solid foundation in Muay Thai. Zhang Jin is otherworldly. Compared with those 3D martial arts masters flying all over the sky, his movements are obviously more realistic. After the fierce fight, he was still neatly dressed, and even his shiny hair was not messed up. It can be said that he ushered in a whole new era, and was his first perfect blend of truth, violence, grace and evil. Other than that, no one else can do it all.

Wu Jing played prudently, Tony Jia played ruthlessly, and Zhang Jin played elegantly. When the three of them were fighting to the death, it was the time when the three sages were gathered together. The previous depression and haze were swept away, and the rest was just hearty.



On the necessity of a happy ending The ending of


"Slaying the Wolf 1" has been criticized by many people, because all the healthy people in the series died in battle, leaving only a single father with brain cancer who raised his adopted daughter alone, and He will also die soon. So the ending of "Slaying the Wolf 2" is very sunny: the big villain Zhang Jin was defeated by Tony Jia and Wu Jing together, Tony Jia's young daughter was rescued, Wu Jing successfully detoxified, and everyone lived a happy life since then. In a nutshell: Evil cannot overcome good.

Because in reality, it is always a dream to be victorious against evil, and it is always the black people who can rise to the top, and those who do not forget their original intentions after holding the power are very rare. The so-called evil is better than right, but it is just a dream. Therefore, such an ending is a great satisfaction to the audience who are eager for a happy ending like the victory of justice over evil. Because we have seen too much deceit and evil, we urgently need a little spiritual opium to moisten our dry and indifferent hearts. Unfortunately, this can only be found in movies and TV dramas.

In any case, "Slaying the Wolf 2" is an excellent police and bandit action film, and it has created more distinct characters than the first one. Compared with Donnie Yen's one-coin clearance, this one is more in line with the theme of killing, breaking, and wolves. If there are three parties, there will be a real story.
