On the streets, there are big scenes of wars and riots, as well as a self-contained slow-motion shootout. The most important thing is that it has a different emotional catharsis from Wu Yusen's previous movies. This story shows that under the influence of external factors such as war, money, status, etc., the relationship between friends has turned against each other, friendship has broken down, and some have remained steadfast. The director puts this evolution of male sentiment in a broad social background. Under the circumstances, the male sentiment is more complicated.

    Surprised by the blasted scene, the editing is top-notch, except for a few blunt transitions (or maybe a screening glitch). Film screenings are fun. Tony Leung was really handsome back then, and all the angles were perfect. After so many years, I will still be moved by the friendship and passion in Hong Kong films.

    It turned out to be "Deer Hunter" in Hong Kong, but it was probably 10,000 times exaggerated. The actors worked hard one by one, and finally knew where so many Jacky Cheung’s emojis were taken from the screenshots. Hey, Wu Yusen's filming is not surprising. On the way, he guessed in his mind that it was Apocalypse Now. I don’t understand why we always arrange for Wei Tsai to pick up girls at the most critical moments of historical events (for example: bombing, blocking tanks)?
