In the 1960s, Hong Kong, China, was a mixed bag and chaos. The royal police under the British rule were greedy and greedy, and even colluded with the underworld to loot people's fat. The young Inspector Laylo is complacent, carefully negotiating between his British and Chinese bosses, and sees every opportunity to climb the mountain of power. In a fire incident, Lai Luo took a fancy to Wu Shihao who dared to fight and kill. Wu Shihao, who is from Nanyang, has the character of righteousness in the first place, and is willing to cut swords for his brothers. He made a name for himself by playing his place in the underworld with a dash of aggressiveness, and by supporting each other with Laylo. In the end, Lei Luo and Wu Shihao, who licked the blood with the knife head, jointly became the heavyweights in charge of the white road and the underworld respectively. In the process, the brothers gradually diverged. When the storm comes, everything is about to change. The film also reflects the social problems of smuggling Hong Kong in that era, and uses the death of Wu Shihao's wife to set off Wu Shihao as a real man who values love and righteousness. Although there is not much brush and ink here, from the perspective of artistic techniques, it is designed to enrich the character of the protagonist. necessary support. The fat boy's follow-up to Lai Luo and his death in the film conveyed is also a kind of precious loyalty, especially for those in the system, which is very valuable. In the film, the "little grievance" between the British police and Wu Shihao's brother is used to insinuate the great contradiction between Hong Kong society and British rule, which is a true reflection of the sad history of the second-class citizens of Hong Kong people. The film expresses a variety of emotions in a delicate and true way. Big issues and small details complement each other. The plot is compact and ups and downs. It is thought-provoking to watch.
