Talking about the new police story - Guan Zu

Alexys 2022-01-28 08:18:16

This is the first time that my official account has published articles other than shoes, and it is also to share with you my feelings about the film and some views of Guan Zu's character. This movie is the number one Jackie Chan movie in my heart. From 2004 to today, I have watched it more than 15 times, and the lines and bridges are recited. But just at 3:15 am on November 7, 2020, after I watched this movie again, I had something to say.

First of all, a question was thrown "the final climax of the whole film "Rooftop Gun Game". After Guan Zu lost the game, he decided to seek death when he knew that there was no bullet in the gun chamber. But why did he point the gun at his father, the chief superintendent of the North District? Not the police officer Chen Guorong that he always wanted to defeat. "With this question, I started

Released in 2004, the film was directed by Jackie Chan, starring Chen Musheng, and many stars from Hong Kong, Macau, and Taiwan participated in cameos. The plot is very simple and clear. It is probably the main theme movie in which the super policeman Chen Sir played by Jackie Chan fights Guan Zu and his brother crime group played by Wu Yanzu, and finally wins. The process was rhythmic, and slowly staged the process of Chief Chen's fall and the return of a hero, interspersed with his love, friendship and professional ethics as a police officer; but what I want to say is not Chief Chen, but the "big villain" Guan Zuhe through him I see very crucial details about families, children, education and humanity

In the following, I will mainly focus on Guan Zu, and develop this film review or biography-like article. The content will be very personal, and it will be mixed with a lot of my "excessive interpretation" of the film.

Character introduction

Joe Kwan

A young man who came back from school in the United States, the super-head of the Guan Zu crime syndicate, his father is the chief superintendent of the North District of the Hong Kong Police Force, his mother is a large real estate developer in Hong Kong, and his grandfather may be a politician or a business crocodile. He organized three of his male friends and girlfriends to commit illegal acts together. They were ruthless, vicious, and handsome. In the film, Senior Inspector Chen Guorong is regarded as his ultimate goal, intending to completely defeat him.

Next, I will interpret this role in the order of the plot. First of all, Guan Zu's appearance is very handsome, and Wu Yanzu's appearance and aura plus the blessing of clothing and Taoism make this role very unique, but here are a few very key details.

1⃣️This shot is the first shot of the whole film. In this back view, the key "criminal five - Guan Zu group" appeared. But Azu's position is not in the middle of the C position that everyone is familiar with, but on one side.

2⃣️ Guan Zu's clothing. In this shot, first of all, only Kanzu has black hair, and the other members except him are colorful. Guan Zu himself wore a black work suit that was different from all the other brothers. In the whole film, Guan Zu's clothes were basically exchanged between black, white and gray. On the other hand, looking at the colorful and exaggerated hair styles of the other brothers, I think that Guan Zu received very regular education and guidance since he was a child. In terms of appearance and clothing, he did not choose the personality that young people would have, but relatively The dark tone also implies that there is a dark side in his character, which is cold, old-fashioned, and not optimistic enough.

3⃣️In this shot, the details of Azu's epaulette and collar can be seen that Azu is a person who pays great attention to honor and rights. These are originally only accessories worn by soldiers and military and police personnel in the system, symbolizing a kind of authority, Discipline and glory. As a criminal who is committing criminal acts, these accessories are a kind of high-level irony.

After the opening shootout, we learned that Azu's criminal group was a criminal act of robbing cash from high-level bank vaults, and then attracting a large number of police officers and dividing the stolen goods by shooting and killing the number of police officers.

In this shot, the small group is calculating the number of points for shooting the police and blowing up the police car, and exchanging the points for the amount of cash that everyone robbed. Among them, Azu's girlfriend, Sue, was deducted 200 points for her mistake. Sue said that no one helped her to cause her mistake, and Azu clearly told everyone to "don't care about this money". Through the following plot, we learned about the five members Their origins are either rich or expensive, money is not what they are after, and robbery is pure fun. Azu's hesitant words, combined with the movie, confirm that he seeks pleasure and releases depression by shooting police officers and creating chaos.

In the early and middle stages of the story, because Azu's previous case "Asian Bank Robbery" was too sensational, police officer Chen Guorong, played by Jackie Chan, said in a live TV broadcast that "the police are confident that all the suspects will be arrested within three hours. case". And Azu obtained important information by blackmailing the police detective played by Wang Jie. In the face of the encirclement and suppression of Chen Guorong's full preparation, he wiped out the group in one fell swoop, leaving only the life of the police detective Chen Guorong. The failure of the police this time brought very painful post-war trauma to Officer Chen, and Azu also temporarily defeated Officer Chen in this round.

This section of the plot, the dark line reveals Guan Zu's character. He is very competitive, and has a strong rebellious mentality. Facing the clamor of the old police, he does not want to simply kill, but enjoys the process of torture. Pursuing a sense of victory in a deformed manner, defying authority openly. And revealed a very strong hatred of the police

In the middle of the movie, in the plot, Superintendent Chen, for various reasons, chose to go out of the mountain and start to investigate the "Asian Bank Robbery" of the Azu gang again. Since all the members of the previous crime were wearing masks, their identities were still hidden in the dark.

At this time, a large number of scenes of Azu appeared, which gave me a better understanding of this role.

First, the grandparents appear

The details of the conversation are as follows

1⃣️Mother didn't come home all night and said that she was talking about business, and it should not be the first time that she used the tone of the lines.

2⃣️Father is extremely egoistic. Facing his wife who didn’t return all night, he took a preemptive tone and said, “I can’t even manage your remarks on how to manage the Hong Kong police force.” Mature men and women should know that the other half cannot be controlled by control, and they need to realize what they rely on.

3⃣️The mother yelled at the father for being a waste here, with deep disdain for the police system in her words. And he said, "I'm not a policeman, how do you think others see you? It's not all for my father's face." It implied that the father's North District Chief Superintendent had his father-in-law helping to operate, but the father refuted it. "Everything I am now is achieved by my own efforts." Normal people can see how conceited this is. The more a person wants to prove something, the more guilty he tends to be. And judging from a man's somewhat awe-inspiring stance and attitude towards women, he obviously did not dare to do anything to his wife, and could only allow her to insult and disdain his own words. There is a deep hostility between husband and wife, much like a husband and wife who cannot be separated out of relationship and interest.

At this time, the picture was given to Azu, and the quarrel of his parents woke him from his sleep. The expression is full of habit

In the next shot, Azu opens his eyes to indicate that he begins to receive the content of his parents' quarrel. At this time, the father happened to say, "You are the waste, the son is just like you, spoiled by you"

Mother responds "Have you been educated? You are worse, you know how to move all day"

Detail 1⃣️After the mother said "hands and feet", there was a sound of beating and smashing things in the background, and Azu closed his eyes deeply, obviously having a deep shadow and hostility to this word. He must have thought of something.

It was followed by a wake-up call in which my father lifted his pillow, beating and scolding, rude words and exaggerated actions. He swiped the pillow four times, and threw the quilt to the ground. Azu stood up and kept silent, and then pushed his head from the back. The force was so strong that every time Azu fell forward and bounced back.

The content of the scolding is probably "What time is it that you don't get up x1? Every day you know how to play games, spend money, and surf the Internet x1! I'm the chief police superintendent, you've lost my face x1! Unlike Lao Tzu x1"... and Azu at this moment is very calm

According to the plot, Azu's age at this time should be between 24-26 years old. At this age, I am used to being so calm and silent when my dad beats and scolds me 1⃣️, this is the norm. 2⃣️For some reason, I dare not resist. 3⃣️It has been numb.

As the saying goes, do not die in silence, but explode in silence. Azu's beating this time lays the groundwork for the subsequent plot.

Next, the mother went into the bedroom and began to comfort Azu and stuff the money. The content is probably "Son, don't go to work, do whatever you want. Mom will give you money."

Looking at Azu's reaction, there was no response. Like a full-fledged silly pig, facing his mother's comfort, he could not feel any comfort.

Money is the last thing that needs to appear at this time, even a glass of water is more useful than a stack of money.

The comfort from his mother means nothing to Azu. Looking at Guan's mother's various appearances, I can feel that she is also a person with extremely poor empathy ability. She doesn't care about the psychological level of her son. significance.

Azu, who was holding a lot of dollars in his hand, couldn't see a trace of happiness in the camera.

At this time, the father, who is the chief superintendent of the North District, appeared on the TV, giving a public speech to the public. Watching his father on TV, Azu fell into his childhood memories. Annoyed, he threw away the banknotes that his mother had just stuffed in his hand and floated all over the place.

screen flashback

It turns out that Azu had a very unfortunate childhood and was accompanied by his father

detail

1⃣️Father has the habit of drinking too much

2⃣️Father's way of disciplining naughty Azu is simple and rude by hitting

3⃣️Father will take advantage of his position to punish Azu (handcuffs) with police equipment

4⃣️The scars are very serious

5⃣️In terms of age, within ten years old. But thinking that Azu has been beaten for 20 years, it must be numb.

6⃣️There is no mother in the flashback. When Azu was beaten as a child, no one could help him.

scarlet letter

At this point, the role of the father has basically been explained in this family. He used to be a police chief who worked hard and became the chief superintendent of the North District of the Hong Kong Police Force by relying on his father-in-law's relationship. He has a deep interest in his wife's marriage. His wife has a bad relationship with her long-term absence and looks down on herself and her career. , even if he is the Chief Superintendent of the North District, he will not get the status and respect he deserves in this family. He hates iron and steel for his son, but the methods and methods are extremely rude, and there is a mentality of "you are as bad as your mother". He has long used the traditional method of "filial sons under the stick" to educate children, and has some abusive tendencies.

blue word

The mother's situation is almost the same. Since childhood, he has a wealthy family and owns a real estate company. His father is either a political tycoon or a business giant. He despises his husband who relies on his father for his superior position, and looks down on him at heart, but due to the pressure of public opinion from the outside world, he still has to maintain the status of the family. The education of the son is very simple, the financial support is absolute, the love of the eraser is provided, and I hope that the money eraser can erase all the troubles of the son. Probably missed most of Azul's childhood because there is no mother in the flashback. A typical "born without raising" type of mother (here raising refers to upbringing, not just raising)

More than half of the movie, we fully understand Guan Zu's bits and pieces. Born in a tragic family woven by a wealthy family, the core of this family is no love, there are profit transactions, quarrels, distrust and beatings accompanied by childhood abuse from the police father. All this is Guan Zu's revenge mentality. He is not short of money just to vent his anger. It also leads to his own tragic life

In the next scene, Azu went to the small base of the criminal group and started to target a police model at close range. He felt his deep anger and dissatisfaction from his actions. The way to vent his emotions was to shoot and kill.

After shooting all the bullets, Azu started to fight against Liu Tian. He started very hard. Liu Tian, ​​who was leading the target, couldn't hold his fist and was kicked on the chest by Azu. After two or three rounds, Azu was added in. The fiery beat together and vomited blood.

At this time, Azu's girlfriend, who was standing upstairs watching all this, was very calm. (It implies that their relationship is not very close, and through the girl's eyes, I can also feel that Azu may have a considerable degree of grumpiness)

After being beaten up, Azu said this: "You know, when you find something exciting, it feels better than any drug in the world"

Just one sentence here...

Drugs, why do humans take drugs?

1⃣️Overloaded life and work pressure.

Such people use drugs to relax and relieve their mood, and a large number of people in the entertainment industry belong to this category.

2⃣️ Major changes in relationship and family.

The intense sense of loss and heartbreak are the main reasons why this group of people find drugs as "consolation". People who can't stand the blow and can't stand it may be caused by drugs. To put it bluntly, this behavior is the same as drinking alcohol, using alcohol to relieve anxiety, and smoking when you are depressed.

3⃣️ Indulge.

Coddling is the most effective way to kill a person, and if you want to destroy it, it is coddling from an early age. The doting of the family may lead to their "characters that are not afraid of the sky and the earth and can do whatever they want". Under the blessing of this concept, it is easy to do things that violate morality due to careless friendships or external influences, and they may even think that they have the ability to control drug trafficking. influence on yourself.

4⃣️Lack of love from family.

The lack of family care and the neglect of parents may make their children take drugs. The family lacks strict discipline for drug use. Drug addicts are eager to find a spiritual sustenance from drugs, thinking that drugs can make them feel the lack of family affection and care. Feelings.

5⃣️ Make friends carelessly

No need to explain this

Apart from some objective reasons (being forced and induced to become addicted), many people psychologically choose to take drugs on their own initiative, but the drugs mentioned by Azu are a metaphor here. The "exciting thing" here is even more exciting than drugs, which refers to Azu's criminal revenge behavior born of hatred. This inner demon is even more terrifying than drugs. This is the spiritual opium that Azu has been taking for a long time. And the reason for his addiction is almost the same as that of an addict.

I briefly took the next story. Detective Chen found Azu's girlfriend who made a mistake step by step. Although he failed in an arrest operation, he successfully exposed the face of Azu's team. Due to another mistake by his girlfriend, Azu personally killed his girlfriend according to the rules of the team. Then Azu retaliated and successfully led Officer Chen's fiancee to the police headquarters and placed a bomb to detonate it. And personally went to the police station to issue a gauntlet to Officer Chen, and the ultimate confrontation between the two parties was imminent.

Before the war, the true colors of all the members of the Azu team were fully displayed in front of the audience

They are in turn

1⃣️ Guan Zu (introduced above)

2⃣️ Zhou Su sue. It is the daughter of Zhou Jianyun of Asian Shipping. The information was found to be missing.

3⃣️Liu Tiantian. His father is the chairman of Jinfu Securities, and he and Azuin are both Ferrari owners.

4⃣️Liang Max. Chinese-Japanese mixed-race, programming and computer expert, the son of Yongyu International Liang Yongkang.

5⃣️ Hot. The son of the owner of Yongcheng Jewelry Store, he used to join the US Marine Corps.

In the final showdown, Azu's team changed from five to four to plan to rob Hong Kong Governor's Bank. Officer Chen also brought his subordinates to meet him.

⚠️1⃣️⚠️ Internal disintegration

The police called four rich second-generation parents to come to the Governor's Bank of Hong Kong and told them on the spot that "your sons are robbing them"

Everyone on the team had a different idea because of the parents. The members were so popular that they even asked Liu Tian if he could help him kill his father with his own money. Liu Tian answered him very seriously, I will give you double and you help me kill my father. (This detail is a very sad detail. The children of wealthy families who were born in wealthy families do not know whether they are ashamed to face their parents, or hold grudges, or they do not know how to deal with the current situation. They all hope at this moment. own parents died)

When Huo Bang saw his parents, he raised his gun but put it down angrily because he couldn't.

It can be felt that these two have some childhood shadows, and they can't face their parents when they are adults, and they choose to avoid them. They thought they could solve the problem by killing.

? One of the details here is that the parents came in three pairs instead of four. Guan Zu's parents didn't come. The details that can be learned are that apart from Guan Zu's family breakup, other members are all parents and mothers who came to find their son together. Of course, the possibility of reorganizing the family cannot be ruled out. Zu did not have any inner anxiety and anxiety at this moment, but wanted to continue killing.

Liang Max collapsed when he saw his parents, cried bitterly, dropped the gun and started running downstairs. In the process of throwing himself into the arms of his parents, he was shot by Azu. Azu hesitated, but he gritted his teeth and shot his brother.

This actually implies that Liang Max is a relatively kind child. In the first case, he spent a lot of time shooting shootout material. Compared to Azu's jealousy, he was happier because his brothers played together and played whatever they wanted. Later, I designed and developed the game with my superb computer technology. I can feel that it is more like a playful technical otaku than killing. In the face of the collapse of the parents, I can feel that this child is very lacking in love. This kind of missing love he can find in friends, but unfortunately they are a group of friends. And when his parents and friends were there, Liang Max chose to go home.

⚠️2⃣️⚠️Fight head on

In the beginning of the confrontation, he was shot and fell to the ground. He was excited to find someone to kill his father's child and said in pain, "I don't want to see my father and mother again."

The prodigal son will not change the money, but unfortunately it is too late. The fiery repentance appeared when his life was about to disappear. After being shot, he was still shouting, "Azu, save me, I was shot." What he didn't expect when he was dying was that his parents were the closest people, Azu It is impossible to ignore him at this moment.

Officer Chen started to hunt down Azu after fighting one-on-one, parkour and jumping over obstacles, and Lego commercials, and finally came to the rooftop for the final showdown.

⚠️3⃣️⚠️Endgame

Azu lost all his comrades at this time. The girlfriend was killed by himself, the brother Max was killed by himself, the life and death of the brother was injured in the fire, and the life and death of the brother Liu Tian was shot by himself. While he was alone on the rooftop, he demanded a final bet with Officer Chen after kidnapping Police Officer PC1667.

On the rooftop, Azu took off his mask and faced the biggest enemy he thought, and played his best gun with him.

Firearm disassembly and assembly

Only the Glock-17 pistol appears throughout the film. This is indeed the police pistol used by the Hong Kong Police Force since 2004 when a large number of revolvers were replaced. This Austrian pistol is very good, with a generous appearance and ingenious design. Judging from the fragment of the disassembly and assembly of the firearm shown in the movie, it is a very simple pistol. It also adds to the icing on the cake at the end.

This shooting scene is my favorite scene in the whole film. The two high-quality male actors played against each other. From the expression to the demeanor, the aura was in place, the details could be refined, and the process was very smooth!

Let's look at it bit by bit, where did Azu lose?

In 2004, the real Hong Kong Police Force also purchased a large number of P99 pistols. This pistol also refers to the Glock gun family in design.

start a battle

At this time, Officer Chen's mind flashed back to the previous picture. This battle seemed to be playing with Azu, but for Chen Guorong, it was also a game in which he defeated his inner demon.

Detail group gun order

The game they played was to assemble a half-disassembled G17 and load a bullet. In the semi-decomposed state of the G17, there are only 6 parts in total including the separated bullets and magazines. It seems not difficult to complete quickly, but as one of the most sophisticated instruments in the world, firearms are not easy to complete the combination tightly and stably and quickly! Long-term training is required.

As shown in the figure above, the loaded magazine can be used as a whole, but in the disassembly and assembly of the firearm, pick up the empty magazine and press it in a bullet to put it down, and then pick up the slide and grip of the assembled barrel spring. Assembly, although a standard process, will add some time. Combined with the opening of the movie, this is also the regular disassembly and assembly requirements of the police force, implying that Azu knows the police force very well.

But here, Chief Chen used a little trick to win the game. From this picture, we can see that his first step was to pick up the upper slide, assemble the barrel, and then plug a bullet into the barrel. The movie here deliberately gives a close-up in slow motion

When Azu saw Chief Chen's operation, he was obviously in a mess, because at this time he had just finished assembling the magazine and picked up the upper slide to assemble the barrel and spring.

When Officer Chen picked up the assembled slide and combined the gun holder handle, he pulled the gun frame from front to back along the groove of the slide, and he completed the two tasks of gun body assembly and loading. He was two steps ahead of Azu and two seconds ahead of him.

It can be seen that Officer Chen's magazine is not combined, but the bullet is already in the chamber; the current position of Azu's pistol bullet is still in the magazine, and the bullet will not be loaded until the slide is reloaded. Slow down, Azu lost.

Azu lost, the Flying Tigers also suppressed it on a large scale, and the snipers were ready.

As the father of the chief superintendent of the North District, he came to the scene

In such a big case, he must be the leader to supervise and guide the scene, but I believe he never thought that the crime lord was his son.

Seeing the gun pointed at his son, the North District Chief Superintendent did what every father would do, subconsciously protected his son, and exclaimed the Flying Tigers around him, "What are you doing?"

He walked towards Azu step by step, scolding you for disgracing my face. At this moment, I don't even understand whether he is here to give his son a hug, protection, or beating and scolding?

Combined with my understanding of the whole film, I think the Chief Superintendent will habitually educate him when he walks in front of Azu, giving him a few slaps and scolding him, "I'm the Chief Superintendent, but you run as a thief, I'll save face You are lost." How similar is this to the parents around us, how many parents keep shouting "My face is lost by you" but don't care about the child's face at all, you don't give the child face and don't care about the child's face, your face is in the eyes of the child It's actually a fart. The child doesn't get the respect he deserves, but he chooses to be submissive when he can't resist; when he has strong wings, he must fight against this kind of power with practical actions, and try his best to make you lose face, don't just talk about it. The three obediences, the four virtues, the benevolence, righteousness, courtesy, faithfulness, and filial piety are all human beings. They want to eat whole grains, and they will poop and fart. This is human nature.

Is this any good for Azu? He has no shortage of money, no shortage of supercars, no shortage of women, and no shortage of guns and ammunition. He lacks the respect from his father, and is forever losing the respect that he should have received in childhood. "I can't get it, I want you to lose it." Childish, real, immature child thinking. It is precisely the portrayal of Azu's heart. In the fermentation of this kind of thinking, he hated the society, the police, and his father and the prosperous society under the rule of law that his father worked hard to maintain. The more you want the rule of law to be peaceful and prosperous, the more I want to destroy it completely. And what he really wants to destroy is nothing more than his father's self-esteem, and what he really wants is the self-esteem that he wants his father to give.

The article wrote 6933 words at this time, and after reviewing the movie many times, I saw the expression of Azu, and I burst into tears. This is a child ruined by his family. The resources he has could have made him an excellent talent, but his parents gave him an angelic face, glory and wealth, and also gave him too much negativity and negativity, and did not give him a home that should be provided. essence.

His eyes were full of fear, was he afraid that his father would beat him in front of so many people? His eyes are full of love, and it may be a "gentle way" that he can accept compared to his hands-on and abusive father's teaching;

His eyes were unforgiving, because at this moment, the Chief Superintendent of North District shouted, "I am the Chief Superintendent, but you are a thief for me, and you have lost my face." His eyes were desperate, because this was his father, and when he was dying, he was still reprimanding himself for losing his face.

However, as a father, the Chief Superintendent of North District faced someone pointing a gun at his son's head. No matter what the reason was, no matter what a big mistake the child made, in his eyes, the child was my child, and he angrily demanded justice. Police officer Chen Guorong "put down the gun".

Azu looked at Officer Chen, this was a silent reconciliation, a powerless plea, and a determination to die.

Azu's plan had already appeared in his mind. Don't surrender, keep fighting until you die. Where there is oppression, there is resistance. He fought against his father's power, abuse, beatings, disrespect and the legal society he represented.

The background music in the movie is very miserable. There are no lines but the subtitles have the voice of my father from a distance, "You are going to piss me off, if you don't piss me off, you will kill me too"

experience it

Azu raised his empty gun to confront him.

The Flying Tigers fired upon seeing this, and the bullets entered

son shot

Father's voice

Azu cried. I don’t know if it was because of his immediate loss of life or his final resistance to his father and the society. When the gun in his hand ran out of bullets, he lost the weapon to protect himself, and collapsed from the inside out. Tears remain.

The eyes of father and son, at this moment. Has the North District Chief Superintendent put down his face? Do you still respect Azu? Does he know what the problem is? It's not important anymore. Azul is about to get the punishment he deserves because justice will take his life

I saw this scene in the official documentary because of the need for filming. Wu Yanzu really cried hard on the set, even if NG would have a special assistant to cry with him, he continued to feel this way. I really can't stand up for such actors and acting skills, I can only kneel and watch. I'm really speechless about many actors and acting skills now, so I can only squat? Look.

Back to the question I asked at the beginning. After Guan Zu lost the game, knowing that there was no bullet in the gun chamber, he decided to seek death. But why did he point the gun at his father, the chief superintendent of the North District? Not the police officer Chen Guorong that he always wanted to defeat. "

I think the director here wants to deliberately weaken the conflicts between the police and the bandits, and wants to elevate this kind of fate between family, parents and children. Parents and children are the love of procreation, and to put it bluntly, it is also a matter of fate. I met Zhang San and Li Si for a long time. I can't be separated. I can't be with my parents, and neither can my parents and children. The child is not as good as others, but he is also your child. No one has the back eyes, and no one can choose life. . Parents and children are fatalistically a mutual choice, and must respect each other.

The film exaggerates this theme, which is higher than life but comes from life. I deeply feel the importance of respect through my life. Back to the question, why did you shoot your own father? Because Azu doesn't recognize him, Azu doesn't even recognize him in death, and he has to express his dissatisfaction positively! Combining the details of the previous film, childhood enduring, adult enduring Azu is enduring, but if he does not die in silence, he must break out in silence. So he has to express his emotions positively. He does not recognize the too many painful memories brought to him by the family, the beatings of his father, the violent temper of his father after drinking alcohol because his mother did not go home, and he does not recognize being handcuffed in a corner. Trembling, I don’t recognize getting beaten down or kneeling in front of the TV and weeping, I don’t recognize insults and beatings in front of everyone without regard for my own face, I don’t recognize that I have made a detour and can’t turn back, I don’t recognize that I hurt my parents’ hearts and let them Disappointing, but this is also a family hurting each other. I don’t recognize that you, as a superintendent of the Hong Kong Police Force, can manage a police force and can’t manage a family.

If he could express his dissatisfaction with his father earlier, perhaps there would not have been Azu's later crime in the film; or maybe he had worked hard, but got a more explosive counterattack. Maybe Azu's original is also good, he also tried to save these relationships, maybe he didn't try hard. Only took the extreme route, resulting in irreversible consequences.

The movie shot two bullets in this scene, one bullet hit Azu's chest, justice took away evil

Azu's bullet also went into his father's chest, but he was silent, speaking with death

Back to the movie itself, this is a blockbuster action movie, but the director just mixed some private goods, so that different viewers can see different experiences. Regarding Officer Chen, for Azu, he doesn't care whether he is facing Officer Chen, Officer Liu or Officer Wang. Azu distorts his mentality and thinks that he can fight against the world, using his own advantages and resources to break through Authority and order created by the father. Maybe if Officer Chen is defeated, the superiors will pay attention to this case to a certain extent, and in the end, the chief superintendent will personally lead the team to suppress the bandits and face the criminal group led by his own son.

In the easter egg at the end of the film, the father played by Wu Bai chose to commit a crime so that his son could eat a bite. He robbed bread in the supermarket but was hit by a truck and died.

It is the familiar combination of father-son relationship and criminal behavior. The father here chose the wrong method for his son, maybe the same is true for the grandfather and his son, but it was the son who chose the wrong method. Later, Xiaoguang, the robber's son played by Wu Bai, was comforted by Officer Chen and decided to be a good person. I don't know the father of the Chief Superintendent of North District, who cried bitterly on the rooftop and lost his son. Who can help her?
