Stephen Chow's film with the most personal artistic qualities

On the surface, this is a spoof movie of the special agent 007 series, but at a deeper level, Xing Ye used the identity of a special agent to analyze himself. This self-dissection is unique, the most artistic, and the loneliest.

Zhou Xingchi made the greatest expression in the dimension of "handsome". There are a lot of close-ups of characters in the film, posing in cool shapes, wearing meticulous suits, eye-catching colorful ties, and even the props of the agents are all about dressing up. The unique and unique way of pretending to be cool is incompatible with the rough and shabby surrounding environment, resulting in a strong black humor effect.

The intentional comparison reflects the essence of Zhou Xingchi's little person - in any unbelievable environment, he must also be practical, do his own thing meticulously, and become his own hero. Even a pig-killer has the dream of a top agent.

The difference on this basis is that this time the little man is matched with Dry Martini, put on the most formal clothes, and sings Li Xianglan affectionately, exuding a strong personal charm. I don't know if it is through art that I have the courage to go to my loneliness, or in the face of loneliness, only art can withstand resistance. In this film, Stephen Chow's art and loneliness are vividly expressed. Art and loneliness complement each other and complement each other. A lonely pig butcher, this is a wonderful irony, and Stephen Chow has made the pig killer and the world a poetic encounter.

Personally, I think this movie is the best one that expresses Stephen Chow's personal artistic characteristics, and it is one of the most classic Stephen Chow movies.
