901. A man's romance is to meet an opponent
"Dark War" is over!
There was silence in the theater at first, and then there was a roar of applause!
Cao Meng breathed a sigh of relief and took the main creators to the stage to end the curtain call.
The applause lasted for a long time.
It can be seen that the audience is satisfied with this movie!
Including Liu Yu, old film critics who like old Hong Kong films are very popular.
After the premiere of the film.
Many people can't wait to start writing reviews for this video.
For some movies, if you give enough red envelopes, many film critics may not be willing to write more. Even if they write, it will be a sloppy matter!
But if you don’t give them red envelopes, they are willing to write them, and they can’t wait to write them!
This is obviously the case with this "Dark War".
After returning to the hotel, Liu Yu sat in front of the computer and started writing film reviews.
"The pinnacle of Hong Kong police and gangster films!"
"I don't know when it started. We all think that the era of Hong Kong films has passed and Hong Kong films are dead. This is what I once called out!
Once upon a time, when it comes to the golden age of Hong Kong movies, what we must not miss is the police and gangster movies!
When the mainland film market was rising rapidly and when the top movies exceeded 1 billion, 2 billion, and 3 billion, what were the only ones left in the once prosperous Hong Kong movies?
"Eight Stars" and "Nine Stars" are all kinds of sequels of dog tails, and all kinds of shoddy products without sincerity!
At that time, as an old Hong Kong film critic, I was angry, angry at him for not fighting, and sad about his misfortune!
I once thought that Hong Kong films might really not adapt to the development of the times? Do the audience really don’t like to watch the stories that happened in Hong Kong?
There were many old Hong Kong directors who used to be the banner of Fuxing Hong Kong films, but they turned out to sell dog meat again and again, smashing the Hong Kong film brand again and again!
In fact, when Director Cao Meng said he wanted to make a real Hong Kong police and gangster film, my first reaction was, come again?
Why use it? Because I have heard too many such words!
What is left in Hong Kong movies? Is sentiment? No, even that little sentiment was defeated by those insincere shoddy creations!
Until last night, I was very glad that although I didn’t believe it, my body was still very honest. Maybe I couldn’t let go of my persistence with Hong Kong-style movies in my heart.
So I saw "Dark War"!
The opening of the video made me feel that maybe this time it was true!
He Shangsheng, a Hong Kong policeman, was transferred to civilian positions for the Flying Tigers. His desire to return to the Flying Tigers itself proves his unwillingness to be ordinary!
On him, I saw and smelled a strong smell of the Hong Kong police.
Like the male protagonists in many old Hong Kong films, he is a detective and has superb professional skills. He can force the black police to commit suicide in just a few words, but he also has shortcomings.
He doesn't seem to know how to get along with people, and he wants to care about everything. In fact, it is precisely these that make me feel it has a taste!
Huang Qifa is the boss of the protagonist of an old Hong Kong film in the traditional sense!
It's enough to have one detective, Huang Sir only needs to be responsible for being funny.
And so is the case, he has always been responsible for the funny!
From the perspective of the plot of the movie, films that mainly deal with crime, wits, police and gangsters, usually put extremely high requirements for the weaving of the plot.
How could the scene when Andy Lau discarded the dyed toilet paper and was blown away by the wind? It was like the conversation between the doctor and Andy Lau: "I don't think we will meet again" and "It's only this life."
Does that kind of free and easy feel very familiar?
Hong Kong police and gangster films, in many movies, you will find that many characters are so free and easy about death. Perhaps this is also a unique feature in Hong Kong movies?
In addition to the character's elegance and open-mindedness when facing death, the strong spirit of the world overflowing in the opposition between both positive and negative sides, and the mutual appreciation of both enemies and friends, allow people to temporarily abandon the conflict between good and evil, and concentrate on the pure and beautiful appreciation of human nature. Only when we abandon our own position and imagine the interaction in a state of no social identity can we feel the light of the de-identification chivalrous spirit in the real world.
Of course, there is love. Some people say that the love in the film is good at the end. But I think it is the opposite. Because this love that is light and light, it focuses on portraying the most beautiful part of love: encounter and heart-warming. As for ambiguity, holding hands, and passionate love, all do not exist. In the hearts of men and women, the other party is still mysterious and beautiful, and the tragic beauty of ending without a chance, further freezing this relationship into a lyric poem. Such encounters can be called accidental in chance, so we believe that such heart-warming is purity in purity.
Finally, it is the advanced battle of wits.
In police and gangster movies, what I usually expect is mostly plot reversals and unexpected truths. If there is a reasonable logic, it would be even better.
But "Dark War" not only satisfies all this, but also gives me divine revelation, like a light tragedy, paying tribute to all possessions in life that will eventually pass away.
This kind of lightness that escapes from the gravity of reality runs through the whole film is particularly fascinating. Worries about the heart-warming person, respect for the opponent who meets the chess, and these emotions that should be full of ritual are all hidden in the ordinary day at the end of the film, on an ordinary bus, and in a gossip and family conversation.
This is the Hong Kong police and gangster film we are familiar with!
"Dark War" is a sincere work, an old Hong Kong police and gangster film worth recalling!
Thank you Wang Yifan, thank you Cao Meng, for allowing me to re-savor such a Hong Kong-style police and gangster film after many years!"
After writing this comment, Liu Yu smiled and posted the comments separately.
Similarly, there are many film critics like Liu Yu who are unhappy.
Hong Kong films may indeed have declined, but no one can deny the status of Hong Kong films in Chinese films, or the status they once had.
Many media also gave quite good reviews for this!
"This is a story that happened within 72 hours. It is the energy of the last four weeks of life. It is revenge, the police and the gangster, there is a fight between the opponent and the regret of failing to fall in love.
When He Shangsheng and Andy Lau fight each time, you will win when you go to the police station.
There were three moves in total, the first time was disintegrated due to the life caused by tension; the second time was disintegrated due to the life caused by fear of life; the third time was disintegrated due to the full insight of the other party's psychology.
The last time, He Shangsheng turned around and left, not because of fear, but because of sympathy? He couldn't bear it? Such a chess match, he regretted that he met too late and appreciated each other.
Andy Lau and Liang Wanting's love ended before it even began.
The same three times, the first time I was nervous and afraid to rely on it; the second time I misunderstood one after another, but I fell in love; the third time I 'I have no time' ended hastily. Love on the bus is so simple and so special.
When Liang Wanting sat alone on the bus, sapphire, the love had already ended, but it was never over.
Four weeks, 72 hours, one game of chess matches, a love that failed, there will be no regrets in this life." - Times Entertainment!
