Is this a gangster movie or a brotherhood movie?

A good movie or a good novel is written about people. How the plot develops depends entirely on what the people in the story choose to do. The people in the story have their own personalities and choose the direction of the crossroads. A good director is good at expressing a person's character from small details. The rest of the film has been said very carefully by the critics, so I will talk about a few details:

Easter egg at the end of the film: Ding Qing and Li Zicheng are going to cut someone down, Ding Qing drenched in urine on the way, Ai, a young gangster novice . Isn't Li Zicheng nervous? He was definitely nervous, but he was relatively introverted compared to Ding Qing. Along the way, Li Zicheng held the knife in his hand, while Ding Qing hid it. Then after arriving at the place, Ding Qing took out the knife, hid it behind him, and opened the door first. Xiba, the target person was not one person, but a whole room of people with weapons. Ding Qing came out immediately, saying that there were many people who wanted to Retreat, what kind of person Ding Qing is? Cunning, nimble and adaptable. Li Zicheng thought to himself that he would see your nervousness along the way, what are you afraid of, this is a task, a task! He also opened the door and went in, but he was also startled, but he pretended to enter the wrong door once, but twice was to pretend that the other party was stupid, and, more importantly, when he opened the door, Li Zicheng did not hide the knife behind his back like Ding Qing did. What can be done then? Li Zicheng rushed in without a word, and singled out a roomful of people, which showed Li Zicheng's character: heavy duty, decisive, slightly impulsive, and very trusting in Ding Qing. When Ding Qing saw that Li Zicheng rushed in like this, he did not fail Li Zicheng's trust at all, and rushed in without saying a word. Of course, two people washed the whole room... This shows that Ding Qing is very talkative. A person of brotherhood, a person who sticks a knife in both sides, also shows that two people are very good at fighting, especially since they were young. What does it mean for one person to pick up an elevator? I used to tell you that I had two people pick up a room... The last two people stood outside the door of the crime scene, still unable to hide their fear, pretending to be relaxed and discussing what to do next, and finally At the end, Li Zicheng also laughed. This is definitely Li Zicheng's most relaxed and unbridled smile in this film, although the director only gave it a second... 2 people were definitely relaxed, sunny and energetic 6 years ago Full like "Young and Dangerous" and "Mengjia"


At the beginning of the film, Ding Qing makes his first appearance: At the airport, a suit is equipped with slippers. Where did these slippers come from? There is no doubt that it is the slippers in the business class of the plane. It can be seen that Ding Qing fully relaxed himself on the plane, and even put the slippers on when he was on the plane, like a second world lord. But I think he is uninhibited, reckless, do whatever he wants. At this time, Li Zicheng also came out, but his personality is very cold. The dialogue between the two in the car once again shows how strong the relationship between the two is. The sunglasses and the watch all show that Ding Qing is an informal person. Ai, but How did Li Zicheng become so gloomy? From here until he became the president, Li Zicheng's character became gloomy, restrained, and poker-faced. Of course, I'm not saying that his acting skills are not good. Playing poker with a violent inner appearance requires acting skills the most. Bean friends have proven Lee Jung Jae's acting skills from many points, and I completely agree. I just feel that Li Zicheng's character has changed, how many years of undercover life have turned a sunny boy into a gloomy president, just like Al Pacino's change from returning home from retirement to becoming the godfather in "The Godfather".


Ding Qing's dying moment: Everyone recognized the climax, Ding Qing said a few words, and I felt that they were predictable:
"Relax your expression, mother", "I thought I would never see you again, I am really happy." Is this completely still treating Li Zicheng as a brother.
"Brother, you look tired, don't be like this", this is the concern of the heart, I know why you are tired, I am very concerned and sympathetic to you.
"You make a choice" "Listen to the big brother, idiot, so you can live", this is to tell him that you can't keep your feet on two boats all the time, it's too tired, and the rhythm of picking up the lunch every minute
"What are you doing? ? You son of a bitch, in case, one in ten million, I am alive, what will you do? Can you deal with me?": You stupid x, I am dead, it is the best for you, otherwise your company will also I can't go on, the police can't go back
"There is a gift for you in the drawer of my office, look back." Your police record is the only one in the world. In the drawer of my office, you will be a police officer next, ok, take the record back to the police station. Be a gangster, ok, burn and chop as you like. This is where my bean friends and I have different understandings. Most people think that gifts refer to watches, and the files are discovered by accident. In fact, archives are gifts. Ding Qing gave Li Zicheng another chance to choose. Why? Because buddy, you are too tired to live. I didn't know why you were unhappy before, but now I know that you are an undercover agent. I don't blame you for being an undercover agent, and I won't kill you, because I treat you as a brother. I'm definitely dying, I'm going to die soon. After I die, the company's president doesn't matter. Anyway, I don't have a wife and children, and I don't have any directors and screenwriters for my siblings, parents, etc. The only thing I care about is you, brother, I can give you another chance to choose. You can choose as you feel happy. Tears run, tears run, what I feel the most is not the father saying to his daughter, "If you are unhappy at work, tell me, and I will say hello to your leaders" but "If you are unhappy at work, tell me, come back and don't go to work. "It's unconditional love... Of course, a watch is also a gift. After knowing that Li Zicheng was an undercover agent in Shanghai, he still bought a watch as a gift for him. Of course, it's always a copycat. What happened to the copycat? That's how I am. People, I buy my own sunglasses from Shanzhai. I'm just so casual.

Speaking of this, everyone has also discovered that Ding Qing actually knows everything. Dazhi is like a fool. He has grown from a gangster to the third-in-command of the company for many years. How many conspiracies have made him mature and introverted, and he is full of momentum in front of his hands. The younger brothers are respectful, but in front of Li Zicheng, they are still laughing and scolding debauchery. Ding Qing's character is also changing, but he has left a special sky for his buddies

PS: In this dialogue scene, the tears of Li Zicheng's expression, Ding Qing I give 100 points to the subtle movements of the facial muscles relaxing when you breathe out.

    "Do you know what you're doing? What should you do if I survive one in ten million? Will you also deal with me?" Believe the ending is the hoped-for country that puts you in the underworld and doesn't protect you while your enemies do The last gift that Ding Qing, who is willing to live and die with you, gave Li Zicheng was still a fake brought back from China. "You have to be hard-hearted to make choices to survive, brother"
