"Infernal Affairs 2": The classic Hong Kong police film

The play uses a prologue and three stages of narration to push the story to its climax. The whole play fully embodies its theme. From the misplaced identity of the protagonist, the "Wu Jian" of "Tao" is described incisively and vividly. Chen Yongren and Liu Jianming, one who wants to be real, one who wants to say goodbye to the past, yes. For them, the greatest pain is the inability to become a unified person. As far as the audience is concerned, although they are not necessarily successful people, they are always able to live their own lives, whether they are poor or rich, even if they lack material flaws, at least they are not that painful mentally, but those on the screen seem to be on the surface. Compared with the glamorous role, it inevitably gives people a great sense of comfort. The ordinary and special plot fully attracted the audience into the movie. After the nervous and unexpected climax, it also took care of the audience's psychology. I have to say that "Infernal Affairs" is indeed a very successful "old soil" in the drama. Movie.

    Everyone lost their love, friends became enemies, teenagers became dragons, and they all ended up in hell. The density of information is so high that it is a bit brain-burning. After reading it for the second time, I feel... This second part is also too good-looking! The pinnacle of Hong Kong movies.
