In recent years, it has blindly catered to the tastes of mainland audiences, distorted the core values ​​of Hong Kong, reversed right and wrong, and mixed with xenophobic populism. The message brought to us is that money is everything in Hong Kong, the former colonial government is bad, this movie is even more outrageous, ICAC has actually become a tool of political suppression.
Take a look at Lame Hao and the Biography of Billion Inspector Lei Luo with the same theme in the past. Even if there are rivers and lakes, they would not dare to violate the bottom line of Hong Kong's moral values ​​and values.
We love Hong Kong, because we love her combination of Chinese and Western, and love her efficiency, integrity and orderliness. Isn't this the credit of the former British Hong Kong government? Is it your creation of the Kowloon Walled City?
Are all foreigners bad people? !
Disrespecting history, and even falling into historical nihilism, is more abhorrent than "I blocked and led the Chinese people to fight guerrillas to achieve the final victory in the eight-year war of resistance",
because this castration of history is purely for economic interests, may I ask you what else Hong Kong people can't sell? Woolen cloth? !
The writer and director of this movie can die. Under the background of looking north to China, the decline of Hong Kong movies is inevitable.
On the other hand, in recent years, the level of mainland directors has improved greatly!
What if Hong Kong people made one billion yuan at the box office? Young and Dangerous will never be able to make classics!

    The Cantonese version is well received. Low expectations to see, quite pleasant surprise. Donnie Yen, Andy Lau and a group of supporting actors acted very hard, and there was nothing embarrassing to play. It's just that the gunfight scene is too weak, the death of the brother will be sensational, and sometimes the preaching is too heavy. The story of Lai Hao and Lai Luo is by no means a film that can be carried by the volume, and this film is also full of clichés and perfunctory. But it is definitely the best work of the bad movie king in 10 years. It is 10,000 Macau Fengyun 123 higher than "Great Shanghai". Samsung and a half
