Drug War The characters are too flat

2022-01-20 08:02
The film is too similar to a legal program, making the characters in the film appear very flat and thin. Although Zhang Lei in the film is not the common facialized police image in the main theme movie, the whole process of hunting down the drug dealers is the scene where he pretends to be a drug dealer joint, but his inner emotional world has not been portrayed and displayed. The drug dealer Cai Tianming is the most complicated character in the film, but it is only sinister and vicious, and not much new.
The gunmen in Johnnie To’s previous gangster movies " The Mission " and " Fong juk Exilé " always have a bit of brotherhood, and there is always a bit of helplessness, which makes people quietly moved. "Death of a Hostage" is also cold in style, but the three-legged leopard in the film still makes people see the brotherly loyalty. But in "Drug War", this Hong Kong movie's unique Jianghu atmosphere disappeared, and the characters lacked memorable things. The characters of the pros and the villains looked rigid, leaving only the cold and empty appearance.

    1. Johnnie To is licensed; 2. It is relatively natural for actors from the mainland and Hong Kong to blend in, and reliable directors do not allow actors to perform badly; 3. Lin Xue Qiren Gang, He Liansheng ("Lian" in the subtitle), etc., have consistent galactic fun ; 4. The Hong Kong Gang to the North Drift can be used as a follow-up to the "underworld"; 5. Hong Kong is beautiful, the mainland is more realistic than freehand; 6. In view of the fact that Lao Du has always been mainstream in the mainstream reputation/scoring in the past, he will get one more star

    No benevolence, no morality. The film itself has a lot of room for interpretation, including many conscious hints. But just from this ending, it is already worth the score. Not only is it a reversal, but it also deepens the theme and characters, so you can't help but recall some of the previous plots. The fatalistic sense of Johnnie To's movies has been planted into the context of mainland police and criminal movies. It is rare to see such a tragic battle between police and robbers.
