The hero's protagonist's halo is too reluctant

Because it seems that there are too many stills of "The Year of the Dragon", I was deeply attracted by Zunlong's handsome photos, and I was eager to see Mr. Zunlong's style in those days, so I went to watch it after work last night. The movie tells the story of a battle of wits between an American policeman and a Chinatown gang boss. It is easy to say, but the movie is very far-reaching and involves many social phenomena. I personally don't like that Polish-American policeman very much. He was carried away by the Vietnam War and wanted to subvert Chinatown. He was ignorant of his beloved wife, and eventually killed her. And I don't understand why anyone would help him. He is like a madman. He has no plans at all. Among them, the American police are also seriously racially discriminated against, why? And what happened in the last few minutes of the film, Joey is dying too soon, and why suddenly the hero's halo is online, the last few shots are like the hero defeated the monster and protected all mankind, like a hero, ridiculous , I really don't like the male protagonist at all. I have an ambition to maintain law and order in Chinatown, but I always act on my will, so I suddenly rushed into Joey's restaurant to beat him, and it was amazing that he escaped. But the film also has merit, aside from the hasty minutes at the end of the film, the image of the Chinese gang boss joey is very full in the film. Just so that he can sit at the highest position, he killed the subordinates who worked for him, killed the wife of the male protagonist, and sent someone to rape the Chinese female reporter, all of which he did not take other people's lives seriously. , is very cruel. But at the same time, he is willing to pay for the granddaughter of the old grandma to go to college, and spend 5,000 dollars to save the person who once supported him and is now a crippled person. And he has a kind of elegant feeling when dealing with people and things, and it is completely impossible to see that he came out of the slums. At the same time, he was too aggressive in his new position as the boss, being reckless with the police, and negotiating with the drug lord alone, which was too risky. My personal favorite is the funeral scene that echoes from head to tail. One boss falls and another boss comes out. It seems to reveal the constant situation in Chinatown. At the same time, the funeral scene layout is also quite authentic, but I think the whole film is the best. Brilliant place. Finally, let me have a brain damage, Zunlong, who is in his 30s, is so handsome! ! !

    5.5, the famous humiliating film, the style is very similar to Polanski's "Chinatown", but compared to this film, it is particularly long and procrastinated, the emotional drama is unknown, and the ending is inexplicable. It's a typical example of a good idea being shot badly.

    Damn, this movie is so stupid, I have to endure it for watching Uncle Long, I have never seen such a disgusting decent. Uncle Long is really acting like something, not acting at all. Uncle Long is really as beautiful as the person in the painting. He is upright, delicate, and has a unique temperament.
