From the beginning of the announcement of death, to the robbery at the financial company, the simple "four weeks of life, three days game" unfolded like this. Before I die, I have to be so restless and vigorous.
In order to fulfill his last wish before he died, Andy Lau made all preparations and set up a game. Liu Qingyun seems to be just one of his chess pieces, but who can deny the talent and wisdom of this chess piece in the film. Facing death, he vomited blood four times before and after, and twice responded with only a gentle "sorry". Especially remember the third time, after successfully obtaining the 80 million worth of sapphire, the blood-stained white paper towel was thrown by Andy Lau and flipped in the wind, adding a bit of bleakness to the film.
The same revenge theme, the same police and criminal game, these materials used by many directors in Hong Kong, give people another extra emotion in this film, that is warmth. The tacit understanding between the two Lius and the development of love between Liu and Meng make people feel so comfortable and so natural.
A 72-hour game cannot be divided into simple wins and losses. "Go to the police station even if you win", the first time it collapsed due to the desperation brought about by tension; the second time it collapsed due to the desperation brought about by the desperation; the third time ended with a complete insight into the opponent's psychology. The memory is particularly deep is the last time. When the bomb had the last ten seconds left, when Liu Qingyun turned and walked towards the police force behind him, I had watched me no less than 10 times. Every time I saw this, I felt very complicated. Is it distressed? Is it a pity? still is……? But at the last second, something completely unexpected to the audience happened. Seeing this, everyone would sigh. Yes, it is hard to forget if you can run into such an opponent, whether you have any regrets or not. Perhaps, what people often say is "Hate to see each other late" and "Heroes cherish heroes" is nothing more than this.
The music background from the beginning to the end is so perfect, and the comical elements in the middle have undoubtedly become another highlight of the film.
This film reflects the value of time and the preciousness of life. Second, Liu Zhangchi's moderate interpretation adds a lot to the film. Liu Qingyun's bravery, he was brave enough to accept the opponent's challenge, but was still able to join forces with the opponent in crisis, the last time when the opponent vomited blood on the front glass of the car, the fright in his eyes was also very good. He is no longer the inconspicuous little supporting actor back then, and he can easily control such kind of police and criminal films. And Andy Lau, whether he is facing death or facing a crisis, his calm posture, as well as the triumphant smiles before and after, especially the helplessness and dissatisfaction revealed in the eyes of a person who is about to die. It must not be forgotten that he was able to obtain the title of movie emperor by virtue of it, and it was also what everyone expected.
