Welcome Du sir~

I have watched a lot of To Qifeng's movies (only refers to the police and gangster shootout), but it was the first time I saw it in the cinema. I was shocked by the second half of the shootout. I didn't expect it to be so loud. Like a bean-like Hollywood blockbuster, the shot-by-shot in "Drug War" is more like a shot in the heart, and I am a bit confused, how can I be shocked? Only then did I realize that although the rhythm and suspense were produced by Galaxy, there was no slow motion, no multi-angle switching, no light and shadow effects, and no such highly stylized things of Du sir. Johnnie To, Yinhe Ying, the first This is a real mainland police and bandit film, this is a realistic style!

Du sir's "Going to the North" work is not uncomfortable, and even has a touch of down-to-earth. Especially when such familiar faces as Guo Tao, Jia Yiping, and Cheng Taishen appeared on the screen, I even began to wonder if this would be the mainland version. The original lineup of the "Galactic Army". Therefore, when I saw the appearance of the genuine "Galaxy Army", I couldn't help laughing. After so many years of co-production, it is still quite subtle and interesting that these two groups of people from the mainland and Hong Kong appear on the screen at the same time.

As for the plot, I have never worried about Director Du's storytelling skills. The only concern is whether he will be tied down under the elusive censorship standards in the mainland. The old man with childish behavior, but the whole film is not a problem at all. The savage satire and black humor are all available, and the clips that make people silently think "can this really pass the trial" are also from beginning to end. Although when I saw Gu Tianle borrowing a knife to kill a police drug dealer, I thought: "If Gu Tianle escapes in the end, it will be a masterpiece/that's To Qifeng." But as an ordinary audience, I still hope that it will not be so cruel. It's true that people's hearts are not ancient, but it's better to leave a breathable ending in the movie.

But even so, seeing that all the police and drug dealers died, and only one of them was finally subdued, I still couldn't help but ask, is it worth it?

Tucao time:
1. It seems that regardless of Hong Kong or the mainland, assistance, special police, etc. are only arrived at the last minute.

2. Public security in the mainland is a pain. When people burn real money to pay homage, you can collect zero tickets to catch thieves. You don't even get a piece of bulletproof vest, and all the deaf wear bathing.

3. When it comes to body armor, the size of the deaf is definitely at the level of a gangster! Not to mention strong firepower, even bulletproof vests are special. If you are hit by bullets, let alone fractures and congestion, you can't even take a few steps back. It's amazing!

    Fun + cool + good pace. A special "No Country for Old Men" when Goo Jai ran away and crashed with the dumb brother. Although the earthy continental temperament of the whole article submerged Johnny Doo's violent aesthetics, the rhythm and the control of the play are really the same. The settings of each character and link are so good that they are amazing, and they don't impress the galaxy at all. Weird temperament mixed with water. In short, it is a unique police and gangster film. To Qifeng always has the feeling that he can't see the downhill road. .
