We live in a despicable world

I watched two movies of Korean underworld in a row, from "Unprotected City" to "Despicable Street". Regarding the latter, I did not expect that the movie I was most looking forward to more than two years ago would unfold on the computer in such an ordinary, quiet night. At the beginning, I liked Zhao Yincheng, but now I am even more surprised at his growth and maturity in acting.

From the first appearance, the standing and sitting posture made me feel his charm involuntarily. I think of the people living in Bali, but this time he lives in a more realistic and despicable environment. The indifferent tone, the unruly gestures, and the nobleness among the civilians revealed that a man who is almost 30 years old has to bear all the cruel and realistic helplessness in life.

The whole movie itself tells the life of a gangster, from the awkward second assistant to the second position. During this period, he struggled, struggled, and was happy, just thinking that he was close to happiness, even for his lover. The idea of ​​retreating from the rivers and lakes was born. His world has fallen. At this moment, I can feel that his happiness is so fragile, and his stability is so short-lived. He was betrayed by the director who was once regarded as a friend, using his secrets and trust. Going in exchange for a peaceful step forward, to get ahead, and ultimately lose his life in the hands of his former brother. I still remember the look in Bingdou's eyes when he died, incomprehension, indignation, desolation, and even a hint of grievance. And the little bastard who inserted the knife into his body again and again, with tears and pain in his eyes, but still wanted to kill with a sharp knife. The last man who appeared at last, who was once the most respected and brother, had no friendship in his eyes, he could only feel desire and ambition, and seemed to laugh at Bingdou, the essence of the underworld? The affection of the family? That's just your naive thoughts. Very sad, but terrifyingly realistic.

In fact, Bingdou does not really belong to the underworld, because he still retains a trace of innocence. This innocence convinced him that an old friend whom he had met for more than ten years, revealed the secret that would make him fall into an eternal disaster; this innocence makes him fundamentally innocent. Did not expect to die at the hands of his brother in the end. He once proudly said to an old friend of the director that "the essence of the underworld should be photographed", but he forgot that the true essence of the underworld is actually despicable-deception, ambition, betrayal, desire, killing the master, the so-called brothers are only because of profit. Will follow, the so-called big brother will cover you when you need you, you have to be more fierce and cruel than you think, in order to survive in this despicable world.

We also live in a despicable world, and many social shadows can be reflected from director Bingdou's friends. In order to realize their dreams, how much can people pay for their success? How much other people's interests can be sacrificed, friendship, love may not be worth a penny in front of ambitious people, in the final analysis, they only love themselves.

What is helpless is that to survive in this society, the most important thing to remember is the sentence in the movie "Who is the person I need and what does he need".

    You only need to remember two things to succeed, who you need and what he needs.

    Zhao Yin has a solid foundation, and he has a lot of tricks. The Mud War is well filmed, and a panoramic view is even more handsome. The director's line is weird
