A little thought

1 It is different from fighting and killing in a simple sense, the confrontation between sin and evil. This film adds a reasonable "humanity" before the general "sin" and "evil" performance. This also makes the "saving disaster" actor in the general police and gangster film transformed into a "saving relatives" actor. It makes the audience feel a lot more cordial, and also makes the empty and old-fashioned plot more realistic and inherently motivated.

2 Another point, in the depiction of human nature, I saw something precious, that is, the description of fear. In real life, not everyone is brave and fearless, single-handedly fighting against evil forces. In fact, on the contrary, there are many people who protect themselves from danger. So when the heroes in the movie face them, they will be panicked and panic. My caution is touched. But there is a turning point here. For example, when Bobby became a policeman, the whole plot returned to the old-fashioned plot, the old-fashioned lens application and the old-fashioned editing. The plot recommendations are as perfect and precise as the golden ratio points, but they are also featureless.

3 I personally think that this script is only slightly worse than the Hong Kong version of Infernal Affairs. o(∩_∩)o... For the
above three points, I need to thank the strong screenwriter. But overall, it's a bit anticlimactic, and the story is too sophisticated to hold

4. There is one more thing, I need to thank Jackie Phoenix.
Unexpectedly, his acting skills improved so quickly. His performances still have traces of patterning, but they do have their own uniqueness in expressing the subtle psychological aspects of people. If you need a few words to define it, calm and inward expansion is suitable for her; explosive, fierce, it seems to be lacking.

    Superb audiovisual. This one seems to be the "least like" "The Godfather" in appearance among the first three Gray's films, but it is actually a complete inheritance of the spiritual core. Mike was turned into a gang by a veteran because of his father's attack, and Bobby was turned from a nightclub manager to a policeman because of his father's death. The last moment of "The Godfather" is frozen with Mike's coronation as Don Corleone, and "We Own the Night" ends with Bobby's graduation from the police academy. . This is the best way to pay tribute.
