As the New Year's blockbuster at the end of 2004, Feng Xiaogang continued his usual style of Feng's comedy. At the beginning, the picture of Fu Biao learning English was full of comedy style, and big names such as Xu Fan, Fu Biao, who was the queen, made cameo appearances for a short time. Andy Lau and Rene Liu, an incarnation of justice, one who got rid of the tone of a literary young woman, tricked a BMW into a joke and went away. As a result, the shot is infinitely elongated, and the atmospheric shot of mountains, rivers, and clouds is the first time to appear in a civilian Feng's film, and the French chanson "Life of a Rose" also ironically complements the life of a rogue.
The camera moves to a temple in Tibet. At the moment when the silly roots dripped a drop of yellow paint, the two thieves, Andy Lau and Li Bingbing, showed their supernatural powers. Li Bingbing's Ye Ye is my favorite character in the world without thieves. It's interesting to be charming or bad. Whether it was her wearing brightly colored underwear and walking straight, betrayal and winning Wang Boxiao like a stinking cat, or in the end, she rushed out the door with tears in her eyes and betrayed Uncle Li. Mysterious and beautiful things are always attractive to people. How beautiful they look through the yarn when they are far away, they become poison in the mouth. In fact, it has nothing to do with human desire.
"Evil" is not directly shown in the movie. The contest between Uncle Li and Wang Bo is a commercial gimmick through the gorgeous display of actions and computer stunts. The former is sympathy, and the latter is a combination of a wolf and a shepherd dog. The more flamboyant Ming's actions, the more serious the dark karma. The stupid root of "goodness" is rather utopian innocence. This kind of white paper beauty is easy to make people want to doubt or destroy. Wang Bo's sentence "Why can't he be hurt?" directly points to people's hearts. On the one hand, a carload of thieves is just around the corner, making you wonder how there is so much evil in this world. On one side are characters who are holy as idiots and let you see glass-like fairy tales. The conflict between good and evil runs through the entire vein of the film.
The most classic sentence of Infernal Affairs, "You will have to pay it back one day when you come out," is very appropriate at the end of the film. Although Feng Xiaogang uses a lot of comedy elements in the first three quarters of the film, the film's narrative backtracking at the end still earns a lot of tears. The cause that Wang Bo sowed in the past finally bore fruit and paid for it with death. It's okay to say this ending is abrupt, but it's also reasonable, and it can even be said to be the only way. From the perspective of such a film full of Tibetan Buddhism and social order, death is the best answer to liberation. And Wang Li put the child at the door of the temple, raised his head and bowed his head and bowed his head to pay homage at the end of the frame, which is the deconstruction of the cause and effect of Buddhism to the peak.
Last but not least is the movie music. Fung's film breaks the convention and uses three songs in a row to enhance the atmosphere. Needless to say, the opening "Life of the Rose". The sudden sound of "That Day" in the flashback of Wang Bo's death makes this tragic ending even more mournful. And in the quiet time and space where Wang Li was eating roast duck, with the slow and sad music of "I heard" as a foil, the past is cloudy and the water is passing by, and people can't help feeling wasted.
The film "A World Without Thieves", as a New Year's commercial blockbuster, although there are some flaws in the plot, can not obscure its great achievements in entertainment and box office. And Feng Xiaogang's later failure in "The Banquet" made people feel that the road to commercial blockbusters in mainland China is long and long, and he can only think about it and seek it.
