    Ashamed to say, this is the first time I've seen this play. It is indeed a classic word, the plot is unreasonable, and the characters are very paranoid, like an adult fairy tale in a vacuum environment, but it is romantic and beautiful. In Wu Yusen's masterpiece, the violence is permeated with poetic beauty. Two people who don't even know their names have become confidants. There is no need for social understanding at all, only instinctive sympathy. In addition, Li Xiuxian's role is very...

    To tell the truth, the big boss did so many things because he didn't want to pay Fage's 1.5 million Hong Kong dollars, so how can he do big things. And when Li Xiuxian described the suspect's appearance to the police portrait staff, he said affectionately, "He is so manly and his eyes are so affectionate." The whole theater burst into yoooo...

    At the end of the 1980s, the market continued to consume the image of Pony Ma. As long as Chow Yun-fat was willing to shoot, fans would buy it; if he held two guns to shoot left and right, the box office would double; The box office swept like a passer-by in the film, A, B, C, and D. Even if the action scenes seem a little outdated now, the classic look of Fago's oil-headed suit and the demeanor of his gestures are still...

    Xiaosuo is calm and eloquent, and this rare calm, against the backdrop of the flowing action scenes, gives this film a kind of dramatic tension that can be freely retracted. The introduction of a large number of religious symbols and ideas gives the story of this film a strong sense of ritual, and also makes the naked killing full of the idea of ​​martyrdom with a sense of honor. Here, out of the constraints of genre narrative, a kind of baptism of morality itself is completed in questioning...

    His temperament is too mixed, there is only one thing, he can not be a supporting role wherever he is placed. How can there be people with such a strong sense of existence? The same is holding a gun. Leslie Cheung holds it professionally and beautifully. He loves guns more than women. Zhou Yunfa held the gun as natural as holding a cigarette, and the gun existed for...

    Wu's heroic films never show off narrative skills. They go straight to put the protagonist in a dangerous situation, and then go to great lengths to survive again and again. In addition to passion, I am more willing to exaggerate the helplessness and sympathy of people in the rivers and lakes under the general climate. And the irrational battle outside of the judiciary, even if it is just a moment of light of axiom and justice, is the most direct and effective anesthesia to the...

    Violent aesthetics, dare to be more beautiful?

    As John Woo said, this film is a philosophy, about its own justice. What is justice, a thousand people may have a thousand different opinions. But don't get caught up in the details, and stick to the justice you insist on to the end is the real justice, and maybe this is the answer. Just like the...

    In the rivers and lakes, some people preach morality, and some people live like dogs.

    As can be seen from the name, this is a male-male film, and the moral killer and the police are the two heroes. Both occupations require guns, but in the eyes of the world, they are black and white. The director questioned this kind of worldly judgment. Police Li Ying said, "Your industry is a...
