[Double Heroes] I've watched it nearly a hundred times, but the more I look back, the more sad it becomes; for a director who used to be brilliant, for a generation of action films with a grainy texture, and for a sense of self-righteousness Black temperament.
In my opinion, [Double Heroes] is an excellent product that has reached the extreme under all the standards defined by action movies. It did not sweep the same kind with a monster-level attitude, but it has almost been for a long time. Pushes the same type of film into despair.
It can bend its knees to tie your shoelaces, but it can also throw out a dragon-patterned golden spear and sacrifice your blood; it can weep in front of its son, but it can also face off with its opponent under the double spear. [Double Heroes] was cast by John Woo with a formidable temperament. Do you remember that the leading scepter in the Hong Kong gangster movie shopping competition was just brought to Hollywood by it.
Woo Yusen once took the faucet stick, and no one can get it again.
Hong Kong gangsters are far from being mastered by John Woo, so since he entered the industry, he has been above the bloody struggle, and the worshipers under his knees are like clouds, and the worshipers can only carefully peep at the dragon head scepter in the hands of John Woo, Also always care about John Woo lamenting their overreaching.
Therefore, when Wu Yusen was far away from the throne and only left a holy monument, the royal court without a king began to fight. They sacrificed their blood to the throne again and again to call the gods to recognize their persistence and sacrifice, so as to give them corresponding rewards. What they want is still the leading stick that represents the supreme authority.
In fact, John Woo didn't care about that stick for a long time, but he couldn't throw it to the high-level hastily, and let it lose its light in the life and death of the general generation.
Maybe it's nostalgia, maybe it's a warning, [Double Faces]'s arrogance and arrogance shattered all conceit and illusions about owning a dragon head stick. Wu Yusen has never used strong violence to intimidate the younger generation. He may just stand there and let other people's ambitions be destroyed without leaving a single word. This time, even Hollywood shuddered under the faucet.
Today, this dragon head scepter has already been handed over to the new owner, but because of its former authority and majesty, it will make everyone sigh and sigh. Today's gangster movies, action movies, and even the next era of hegemony, its majesty can still be left. How much.
