Nice looking and high quality. The 1997 film is not outdated at all, and the picture quality is also very good. Good and evil, true and false, there are echoing scenes before and after the film. At the beginning, both of them are holding guns at each other, and it is still the same at the end. It's just that they exchanged faces for each other, and this echo is very interesting. Think of Sherlock and Moriarty, the same madness, the same party that calls for justice, join me. And with their faces and identities changed, it seems that sometimes they will be completely different from their original selves. The detective will laugh wildly to get everything back, just like the original criminal. Criminals also get interested and teach the detective's daughter how to protect herself. In order to return to his identity, the detective escaped from prison and injured many prison guards. On the way to escape, he almost killed his former brother. What he does is no different from a criminal. I thought so when I saw it. But if he didn't, would he spend the rest of his life in prison, leave his wife and children with his enemies, and put everyone in danger. There are always trade-offs in life. Thinking of this, I am relieved. When I saw it halfway through, I felt very sad. I thought that the decent male protagonist was too miserable. Although I couldn't go back in Infernal Affairs, I didn't take the blame for others. Not only could he not be able to go back, but he also put on the face of a criminal and was imprisoned in a prison in the sea, dark and endless. And the other party enjoyed all his past exploits. The male protagonist has broken down many times. For the first time, there is no way to agree to the boss's suggestion to change the face. When he woke up, he looked at his face, the face of the enemy who killed his son, shattered the mirror, and cursed everyone. The second time, he was thrown into prison on a mission. In order to pretend to be like, he made himself fight with the other party, forcing himself to laugh wildly, but in the middle of it he almost cried for a moment. That part shocked me. He's a detective, but now he's forcing himself to become a criminal, to fight another criminal to the death, and to enjoy himself. One person, trapped in another person's body, can't get out, but he has to play well. The third time, he thought he had already found the location of the bomb and thought he could be rescued smoothly, but suddenly saw "self" appear, and the person who knew the truth was dead. Thinking that after completing the task, everything can be returned to the way it was, and everything was crushed under the soles of others. But this movie made me see unyielding. No matter what cards are dealt, do your best to change your cards. In such a dead end, the male protagonist quickly calmed down, inquired about the news and decided to execute it, and finally escaped after shaking the world. Then he also replaced the identity of his face, and contacted those criminals, so that he had more resources. He knows what he wants. This is where I am most moved, no matter what In this way, you must take life in your own hands and do everything you can to turn the situation around. I'm also very happy with the ending, the male lead is a good ending. If he loses, it's really depressing. Another interesting point is that at the end of the confrontation between the two, the criminal took the detective's daughter as a hostage, and the daughter remembered the self-protection method that the criminal had taught, and the criminal was injured. And the detective's youngest son was shot by a criminal. At the end of the story, he adopted the criminal's son. Everything is cause and effect. There is also something special about the film, probably the violent aesthetics. The combination of elegant music and violent scenes has a special aesthetic sense. At first, the criminals wore priests' clothes to install bombs, and later children listened to the music and watched the crowd fight. Although it's not the first time I've seen this kind of treatment, I still like it.
