Very flat and academic

Real plot, plain expression, complicated details. Don't talk about suspense and burden, this is not Director Ma's style. The reason why this film can be called a classic is all due to the director's lens language and the delicate performances of the veteran actors.
As always, the film is more than two hours long, and there are no montages, flashbacks and other fancy decorations. Director Ma just wants to show everyone that this guy named Hill is from his teens to his thirties. How to mix in the gang, fully show the real life of the Italian gang and what the so-called big guy is like. This kind of material is not new, and it is very difficult to come up with great colors. If you can't win by the plot like "Infernal Affairs", then you can only look at the skills of the director and the actors, and this is the best way for Director Ma to give full play to his professional expertise. stage. To be honest, as an ordinary spectator, these more than two hours are not very interesting, maybe watching it in film class is a better choice.
