Gossip So far.
First of all, "Blind Detective" is a comedy.
In the first half of the year, "Journey to the West" and "Thai Embarrassment" each took away 1.2 billion yuan, and Mr. Du couldn't sit still. If "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" became popular, the old man who filmed "Hero" and then "Three Guns" was not determined. Du Lao's "Blind Detective" definitely set a model for Chinese comedy. . On the evening of July 1st, Chai Jing's "Seeing" interviewed Huang Bo, and I was deeply impressed by his sentence "I never laughed when I watched my performance." Regardless of whether Zhou Xingxing has left a good memory of your childhood, it is undeniable that his performance is only a style rather than a quality, with characteristics but no height. To put it bluntly, he is better than who can get rid of the burden. This is unprecedented. Come It is not difficult to surpass.
And Johnnie To's comedy is not only a performance, not only the cuteness of the character Johnston, but also the power of the entire structure - such as a woman's murderer who is busy eating vegetables, such as Xiaomin hiding in a cabinet to go to Brazil, it is not purely a spoof, The appearance is not abrupt or unreasonable, only faintly makes people aware of its falsehood, and then smiles knowingly at this symbolic expression. It's very much like Italian and Czech & Slovak films, think back to Life Is Beautiful, The King of England I served, etc. This kind of high-level comedy is what Chinese films lack for self-improvement. Although Zhou Xingxing can still make money, his artistic career may not be much brighter.
Secondly, "Blind Detective" is a police and gangster film.
Criminology has a theory: as long as you completely imitate the facial expression and behavior of a criminal, you can infer his psychological state, way of committing crimes, and motives. This is based on the image data of criminals before committing crimes. Not to mention Conan-kun who has a clue in his head. However, the reasoning in "Blind Detective" is basically a case (Lin Xue's corpse case, the disappearance of Xiaomin, the serial murder of a lovelorn woman), and Andy and Sammi began to play in various ways, and finally came to a conclusion. The advantage is to avoid the reasoning that Du Laoyou doesn't touch much, the sense of picture and expressiveness are strong, create a charming Andy, help Sammi set a new dress record and defeat Zhiling's sister to become the new generation of cosplay queen; the disadvantage is this kind of Oreki. Fengtaro-style YY reasoning greatly reduces the difficulty of IQ, but this is not worth mentioning at all, because it is a comedy, so there is no harm. It depends on serious reasoning and buys a bookcase Edogawa Allen Podol Aga Sarah.
This film does not use guns except for Sammi's soft three-shot and Andy's headshot, which is a life-and-death juncture. From the intense gunfights of traditional violent aesthetics in "Gunfire", to the gorgeous and artistic gunfights in "PTU", to "Underworld" and "Death Gold" without a shot, only "Drug Wars", which tested the waters in the mainland, is safe to return. In view of the old themes, Mr. Du has been looking for room for growth in the themes of police and gangster films. Therefore, I like Du Lao a lot more than the King of Sunglasses. Every movie of the former seems to be talking about the same thing (of course, it is also great from beginning to end). , How can the director not love Sha?
The French media MUBI commented: "This film presents Johnnie To's classic "Police Reconstruction Theory". The arrogance and manipulation of the blind police make this Hong Kong police officer who should be politically correct a lot of shortcomings, coupled with the cold humor , ridiculous situation, and makes this kind of "politically incorrect" story look less serious." Being able to play the censorship system in the palm of his hand is also the charm of Mr. Du. In the last scene of the big battle, Andy was completely in the rhythm of a lunch, Sammi didn't even call an ambulance. A shot came to life again.
Finally, let's talk about Andy's acting skills.
You can get at least eight points out of ten. The male protagonist of the recent Taiwanese film "Flying Against the Light" is played by the blind pianist Huang Yuxiang, which is naturally much more real, but also much more stay (coincidentally, both films have scenes where the blind man touches his girlfriend's face). As a performance of "Acquired Blindness", let's take a look at "The Witness", when Zhang Jiahui won the Best Actor at the Academy Awards for playing the half-blind villain (actually, the number one male is Nicholas Tse... not to mention ORZ). The deepest impression of Zhang Jiahui is the turbid gray pupils and the blinking eyelids, and the deepest impression of Andy is that he took out a pathfinder stick from his pocket and stomped his feet madly from time to time. It can be seen that the front heavy makeup expression is dignified; the back heavy personality is overall, comedy. Each has its own merits.
It is said that at Sammi's house, when I used a flashlight to illuminate Andy's part, it was completely the rush of "The Tuner" = =
I am now wondering whether the best film at the next year's Academy Awards will be awarded to "Drug War" or "Blind Detective". Some people say it's "The Grandmaster", but don't you think it's too un-Hong Kong?
To be continued.
