The plots of Infernal Affairs 1 and 3 are more clearly remembered and watched more often. Relatively speaking, compared to 2 as the middle flashback, the plots of 1 and 3 are also more coherent. Today, 2 is not at all from the beginning to the end. Fast-forward to the end.
We often say that how a movie can be called a good, classic movie, one point is enough, that is, the sense of immersion must be strong. Then you said that Avatar and Transformers must be typical. In fact, on the contrary, by emphasizing the scene and the sense of technology, it will definitely not bring a strong sense of immersion, but will have the opposite effect, because it is imposed on the audience. When the audience is enjoying a sci-fi movie, they already have a preconceived psychological suggestion, that is, the movie must have a lot of grand and technological things, so it is difficult for the movie to work hard on the plot, which is why it is difficult to appear in contemporary times. The kind of movie that combines science fiction, plot, thought and even music like Terminator 2, every little bit of it can be spread out again, and it will not be reproduced here. In short, Cameron's Terminator 2 in the early 1990s has been recognized by fans as the masterpiece of science fiction movies, not Transformers.
Back to Hong Kong movie Infernal Affairs 2. There are countless movie reviews about the Infernal Affairs series. Of course, the lineup and plot are the reasons for the victory, but they are definitely not all. The harmony and coherence of the whole film is one of the highlights. There will be shots in the episodes, but the beauty of this shot is that it will never stay on the shot for too long, and it will not deliberately let the audience notice the director's intentions. When watching it, it gives you a sudden realization. This kind of treatment has appeared in many excellent movies. For example, in Inception, the protagonist hugs the corpse after killing the target, so as to avoid the details of making too much noise when landing, it will make People feel very real, which is a strong sense of immersion, rather than cracking and killing a mosquito like killing a mosquito and leaving a little blood. Of course, films designed purely for this are no longer discussed.
It can be said that every character in the film is very well played, and there are almost no obvious failures, at least in my opinion. The acting skills of Wu Zhenyu and Huang Qiusheng in the second part, once again expounded what is called the strength group. An obvious difference between the power faction and the idol faction is that for the powerful actors, the action of smoking is to highlight the authenticity of the characters in real life, so as to tell the story and reflect the mood of the presenter. Huang Qiusheng's monologue at the beginning of the film briefly and delicately reveals the unbearable years of Officer Huang as a policeman, and also deeply depicts the state of mind of a man who has experienced various unforgettable experiences, which is meaningful and indifferent. On the contrary, the action of smoking has become a cool capital in the idol group, and the means and form have become the content. This is very common in early actors like Nicholas Tse. Smoking can also draw out nature and flavor, which is also called strong sense of immersion.
Finally, what I want to express most is that the classic movies make you have endless aftertastes. How did you do this? Good people will make mistakes, and bad people will also have a kind side. Mainland movies that are either black or white have become the best negative teaching materials. The police are the embodiment of justice. The place is perfect, and he doesn't even have his own private life, but devotes himself to his work. This is a machine, not a human. I am afraid that even elementary school students will not believe this now. Police officers are also human beings. They also have pain and psychological problems. They are not executioners who kill without blinking, nor are they children with simple values. This is also reflected in Officer Huang. The relationship between Officer Huang and Brother Chen is very delicate. They are friends in private. Officer Huang also has an affair with Brother Chen's wife. However, this is very important. Officer Huang has never forgotten that he is a policeman. , There is a scene in Ni Kun's 97 comeback after Ni Kun's death. Officer Huang took off Ni Kun's photo and replaced it with a photo of Brother Chen, revealing a hint of sadness, but this is professional ethics, because you are a policeman, this is your profession. This is even more evident in Chen Yongren. No one wants to be a bad person, and no one wants to go undercover for a lifetime for the glorious cause of world peace. Undercover is also a human being. This is just a job. It is the police, this is a kind of spiritual sustenance, and this kind of sustenance depends on the consequences of falling into endless torture. This kind of truth is a strong sense of immersion. There are many similar movies, such as the works of Hollywood director Anthony Fukui, many of which are police stories wandering on the edge of life and the law, very flavorful, no longer Repeat.
In short, a good movie must have a strong sense of immersion. The Infernal Affairs series is worth watching many times, and there will be new discoveries every time. This is the charm of many Hong Kong movies.

PS Third Uncle's long-lasting friendship with the harmonica scene is deeply shocking and has a strong sense of substitution. One side is burying the boss alive, while the other side is playing the tune calmly. This scene is so old that it has surpassed the movie. It is a kind of detachment and indifference, as if standing in the perspective of a bystander to see everything that happens in Infernal Affairs, which is particularly dick.

    Carina Lau said: Back then, Tony Leung only started work three or four points a day and went home. After more than 20 days, he finished the filming, and then he won numerous awards. Acting in such a thing, I have to admit that it is talented.
