400 A warm curtain call and the goddess of the end of the world(1/2)
“We’ve just met and you’re going to treat me like this?”
"If I don't send you to the police station, I will regret it for the rest of my life."
"It's a pity that you will remember me."
"Don't worry, how could I forget you."
The third duel between the two began in this kind of enjoyable bickering between enemies. Compared with the ups and downs of the first two car confrontations, precise calculations, contests of courage and wisdom, etc., in the last time, it began to transform into...
The camaraderie between the heroes, especially when Zai Hua sprayed a mouthful of blood on the windshield, Sir He's stunned and panic expression was almost 50/50 different from the expression of Hua waiting for him in front of him. It was a match between the best actors, Tianxiu.
"I'm sorry."
This is the same sentence that Hua keeps repeating in the film, with apologetic words, and then continues to throw out the same bombshell scenes as before.
Believe it or not?
Another countdown begins.
"How or where you die is not important to me. The most important thing is not to die in a police station."
He Shangsheng glanced at Hua, who slowly lowered his head and kept vomiting blood from his mouth. That look in his eyes was also foul. Who can say that this is not love?
Parking the car and getting out of the car, there were no flames shooting into the sky, no thrilling explosions, only a figure walking in the opposite direction, and Sir He's faint smile. When Huang Qiqi said: "There is a bomb? You don't believe it when you should believe it, and you don't believe it when you shouldn't believe it."
You believe it again, you have been deceived, silly boy!" Amid Tiaojiao's scolding, he waved his hand coolly and said, "I'm hungry."
Have you really been cheated?
Maybe.
But whatever you say is fine.
Meeting by chance is a blessing in life, meeting an opponent in chess is fate.
Since I've been tricked by you so many times, it doesn't matter if I do it one more time. It's really the last time.
Hua also drove away, leaving behind a hint of smile and a tacit understanding.
If you have to have an enemy in life unfortunately, then you should find someone who is a good match.
Unfortunately, we are enemies, but we are fortunate to be enemies. It's just a pity. There is a saying that we meet so late that we can no longer share the same journey.
"handsome!"
Fans watched with tears in their eyes, the holy, solemn and tragic theme interlude "I Don't Have Time" lingering in their ears, and the moving Scottish bagpipes made people's scalp numb and goosebumps all over their bodies.
No one knows where Hua will go. It is conceivable that when the song ends, the movie is actually hinting that Hua has passed away.
At the end of the film, Sir He was still sitting in that cozy shop reading the newspaper. The newspaper read, "The mysterious man donated 20 million to the Children's Cancer Relief Fund in the name of He Shang-sheng."
Obviously, it was the 20 million that he let go of the late-stage cancer patient on the pretext that the bomb would explode, and he also donated the stolen money to the Children's Cancer Fund in his own name.
Sir He's life was still in a hurry. He came out of the shop and got on the bus with a box of popcorn in his hands.
A beautiful woman burst into view, and the sapphire pendant on her chest was eye-catchingly familiar.
How could it not look familiar? It was a bargaining chip that only they could afford, the 72 hours of tacit understanding, the lingering night, and the still fruitless endgame.
Inspector He: "A gift from your boyfriend?"
Zhou Zhiruo: "Yeah."
"Where are the others?"
"I haven't seen him since he gave me this."
Sir He smiled reluctantly, turned around, and said in a lonely tone with a bit of sourness: "He is quite discerning. Although it is fake, it is also very realistic, so keep it in check."
, maybe one day he will suddenly appear, oh, he will scare you..."
This was said to Zhou Zhiruo, but also to himself. As "I Don't Have Time" lingered for the last time, both of them seemed to smile faintly.
After that, he was still a wise and foolish police officer, and she was still an elegant and fresh woman.
But, I can't see him anymore.
But it doesn't matter, I just won't see it in this life.
The bus drove away without saying goodbye.
The tender ending is perfect, making people sigh and regret, but it also dilutes the tragic color of the ending. It is no longer tragic, only tragic, admirable and fascinating, and at the same time, it leaves movie fans with endless daydreams.
.
"This is definitely the best cop movie I've ever seen."
When the closing credits rolled, many movie fans were thinking this way.
Jiang Yan and Johnnie To didn't suddenly jump out in the movie story to scare you, but they jumped out and shocked those people who shouted "Jiang Yan has fallen from the altar" every day, and even shocked the Hong Kong film industry again.
After "Infernal Affairs" before it, "Dark War" is the best-looking police and gangster movie, of course. But it should be the gentlest and warmest police and gangster movie in the history of Hong Kong, which is refreshing.
Before this, few police and gangster movies were shot like this, especially the police and gangster movies in Hong Kong. Most of the police and gangster movies in the past were city-wide car chases, gun battles, explosion special effects, and bloody hot scenes that were very visually impactful.
Even if the ratings of these movies are not high, they are good at the box office. When life is stressful, going to the cinema to watch action fights and explosive special effects without thinking about anything is also a good way to relieve stress.
This type of movie has been taken to the extreme, and there is no shortage of classics, such as the famous "Hot Blood High School" in the previous life. It is pure violence. I just watch handsome guys fighting, from beginning to end, it is very enjoyable, isn't it?
It’s just that after watching too many bloody scenes of gunfire and bullets, the audience will also become tired of aesthetics. Exciting scenes can easily turn into a kind of violence on the eyes and soul, making people feel devastated, restless and depressed, as if they were burned.
Just like if you go too far in literature and art, you will be called pretentious.
And "Dark War" is a comprehensive, a model of commercial film, with a calmness that is very rare in police and gangster movies. There are no hot chase scenes, stunts, and even scenes of chase gunfights and explosions. The two people were chased by gangsters and set the car on fire.
A group of gangster thugs panicked a gas tank and shouted that it was about to explode. However, they refused to explode, leaving you with blood on their faces.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! It is not so much a commercial action element, but a malicious ridicule by the director and screenwriter. This little black humor can be said to be a bit sour invisibly.
If you hit a car with a gun, it will definitely explode.”
Of course, when talking about this film, one cannot avoid talking about Jiang Yan himself. The films Jiang Yan has produced so far, except for the "Slaying the Wolf" which should be passionate, are always so calm and elegant,
Even "Slaying the Wolf" can't do without that sense of fate, and that's what's so great about it.
This "Dark War" also continues the style of "Gunfire". Everything is so clean, light, not overly exaggerated, and just right, making the audience comfortable and intoxicated.
A good movie is always inseparable from a good script. There is a famous saying in the screenwriting circle: A good script may be made into a good movie by the director, and a good script may be made into a bad movie, but a bad script is doomed.
Couldn't be made into a good movie.
The plot structure of "Dark War" is also very simple. It can't be said to be exciting, but it is a standard "rat playing cat fighting dog" routine, just like the classic clip of "Tom and Jerry", the mouse first teases the cat, and the two
After fighting each other, the big villain dog appeared, and the two teamed up to fight against the dog.
Very cliche, but very effective.
Many two-hero movies make people feel average after watching them. Many times, the simple relationship between "rat, cat and dog" is not clear, but "Dark War" is very complete and can be regarded as one of the models of genre films.
At the same time, compared with "Gunfire", this movie is not as completely black as "Gunfire", nor does it talk about deep and serious fate. It is more suitable for general audiences and will be more commercial. Therefore, all factors are combined.
"Dark War" is destined to become a super hit, and it is foreseeable that the box office will be higher than "Gunfire".
Based on this calculation, Jiang Yan and Johnnie To will take the top two spots at the box office this year?
If this is the case, I have to say that the cooperation between Jiang Yan and Johnnie To seems to be even better than Liu Weiqiang.
Liu Weiqiang on the side smiled slightly: When "Infernal Affairs" next year, I will kill hundreds of flowers after they bloom...
The premiere ended and the main creator came on stage.
As expected, Jiang Yan once again left a lasting impression on people.
Andy asked: "Why are you going?"
Jiang Yan waved his hand and used Liu Qingyun's line in the film: "I'm hungry, let's buy a pineapple bun."
At this time, the audience and the creators at the scene smiled knowingly.
Jiang Yan, who had just brushed off his clothes and left, was still so annoying.
"If there is a kind of love that you can pursue forever, then go and watch The Dark War."
"If there is a kind of gay love that you can pursue forever, then go and watch The Dark War."
"..."
After the premiere of "Dark War", the media and the Internet felt like "If you don't talk about Dark War, the movie will be in vain".
The lines in the movie are also flooding the screen like crazy.
"The most poignant lover's dialogue - it's a pity that I don't have time."
"The most romantic dialogue between cops and robbers - when I send you to the police station, consider it my win. It's so funny."
"The most free-spirited doctor-patient dialogue - I think we will never see each other again, just in this life."
Of course, the most popular sentence is: "I am Chief Inspector Huang Qifa of the Crime Unit. You are surrounded by heavy enemies. We give you three minutes to surrender immediately!"
It was so popular that even Andy Lau's words, "How you die or where you die are not important to me. What's important is that you don't die in a police station."
Of course, Hua Tsai's income is naturally quite large.
After the screening, Andy, based on his more than 20 years of film experience, basically knew that he was more than 70% guaranteed to be the best actor this time.
