A BETTER TOMORROW

Gangster films, police and bandit films made in the golden age of Hong Kong movies are so focused on flesh and blood reality, almost no one can become a superhero, and very few people can get out of it. I just found out that the English name of "The True Color of Heroes" is "A better tomorrow", which is ironic, isn't it? In the first part, when the children sang the classic old song "Tomorrow Will Be Better", it made me sigh. The bright and splendid tomorrow is only in the clear eyes of children. In their world, all futures are tomorrows, and all tomorrows are full of spring. But reality always ridicules people's subjective assumptions, and it's really hard to do good people. Suddenly I remembered Leon in "This Killer Isn't Too Cold". He didn't come out of the darkness, but his arms stretched into the sunlight. Reality is difficult to satisfy, but there is always light in human nature. Because of this light, every tomorrow will be better than today. So even if you pour out the blood in your heart, you are willing to run towards that future day wholeheartedly.

Song Zihao, the two brothers Xiaoma Geken, and Song Zijie are three characters who have been endowed with bright human nature. Song Zihao is serious, the two brothers Xiaoma are Shouyi, and Song Zijie has a pure heart. Song Zijie, played by my brother, was not flattering at first, but he was the most flexible and changeable character among several people. He was originally black and white, always wanting to use absolute justice to punish evil, but found that these two colors are so opposite and repulsive, pure white is often powerless to pure black, unable to penetrate it and digestion. So he began to understand the existence of gray, and he also learned more about the world and people's hearts. This is the sense of hierarchy of growth. Just where is the white end? How is the beginning of black defined? If you don't always stick to that innocent heart, it's easy to blur the boundaries and become confused and at a loss. All better tomorrow should be rooted in a sober and firm heart. They have such a heart. Even if they all leave, there will still be people who will continue to look for good stories with such a heart. So tomorrow, there is no end.

PS brother once said that he was his own stylist and makeup artist for a period of time. He also admitted that he likes to be beautiful and to dress up. Facts have proved that his clothes are really good. A T-shirt is layered with a casual shirt and a casual jacket, a white shirt without a tie over a blazer, MIX jeans, and a denim shirt over a bomber jacket. . . Thirty years later, the dress code of 1987 still applies today. The "fashion" thing, really like the new, but also not tired of the old.

    I review a Leslie Cheung movie every April. I didn't expect to see Uncle Da appearing in the second film. Compared with the first one, Ken's expression is really creepy. I don’t know if the gun didn’t shoot, this thing was made crazy, this endurance… Then I was scolded by Ken + awakened by a gun battle, and this trick will be used to treat mental illnesses and lunatics in the future? Fourth Uncle’s “Good people are rewarded "Is this the transfer of TVB's core values ​​to the Hong Kong gangster shootout film? Very embarrassed brother's role is much more mature and stable than the first one, his appearance is still online, and his acting skills are becoming more and more perfect. Is it really uncomfortable to hang up at the end? Ken and the American gangster bibilailai in the New York restaurant are really nonsense for a long time. When the eldest brother does it, he will not do it. If he doesn't do it, he will be cowardly. I don't know what the final shootout scene is still very exciting. It's cool to watch a gunfight movie, and a gangster movie to watch righteousness. Fortunately, there are all these. Not too bad

    I have always watched this film as a comedy. This film continues the tradition of Chow Yun-fat's scumbag attacking the cheap, but this time the target has been changed from steamed buns to Shi Tian, ​​but Brother Ken is still the man responsible for rudely making chicken soup for the soul , alas, in this film, he can only tease his brother who is weaker than him. This film is rotten and messy, and it feels like someone forced John Woo to shoot it with a gun.
