Hong Kong movies today are like delicate glasses, while Hong Kong movies in those days were like marble, with a rough texture, suitable for watching on a TV with snowflakes, listening to the lines without any pretentiousness, let your blood boil stand up.
I don't know if it's because people in the entertainment industry are living too comfortably now. At that time, both Chow Yun-Fat and Dillon were at a low point. Only by blending personal circumstances with the soul of the film could such a somber and atmospheric work be produced.
Everyone is talking about Chow Yun-fat's changing eyes, the windbreaker on the flyover, Fenglin Pavilion's double guns and toothpicks, let's not talk about it, just the posture of his legs being shot and bending his legs to the ground, that kind of acting revealed The beauty that comes out is almost impossible to find in the current movie.
The talent of the director and screenwriter is also one aspect. Not just movies, but songs as well. Songs of that era, just the phrase "Vaguely seen in a dream" in the shooting vulture, cannot be written by today's people.
