The style is very strong but there are many branches

Du Qifeng's "Underworld" was touted as "Cannes Film Festival Competition Film". When I saw this poster for the first time, I felt that even Director Du had to use these sensational comments to attract people? Are the words "Du Qifeng" and "underworld" not attractive enough? Until October 25, "Underworld" had more than 7 million box office in Hong Kong for 5 days, which is a high box office for a third-level movie.

"Underworld" is full of Du Qifeng's style, black, violent, old licorice, unexpected, third- and fourth-tier actors, and distinctive characters, etc. All fans must watch it with relish. The younger brother is also his fan, and especially likes to watch his "low box office works". Director Du made it for his interest, and each film is also very good-looking!

The gangster movie Hong Kong has been filmed many times in the past decades. Although "Underworld" scared the ghosts in Cannes, I have heard about the underworld many times since I was a child from movies, news, folk oral and other channels. As far as the Hong Kong people of the incident are concerned, the content is actually nothing special, because we have long known that the underworld is like this, so the violence in the play did not frighten us.

"Underworld" has already stated that it is mainly realistic, and the details inside are taken from real underworld life, but maybe I have watched too many movies about underworld, but I think the underworld negotiation scene in the play is nothing special. The biggest gimmick of "Underworld" is the initiation ceremony in the play, which has long been exempted from inspection and has been designated as level three. However, after seeing it, there is nothing special, it is all expected pictures. Although I have never seen it, I always feel that these ceremonies need not be said and I guess that is probably the case. Instead, I wonder if every underworld member also performs this ritual? Today, when the whole society is also pursuing efficiency, doing so seems to be time-consuming and troublesome.

The ancient initiation ceremony in the play, although very interesting, is also very strange. In a modern fashion movie, there are several people in strong religious attire re-enacting the ritual; seriously, the scene is like saying that cults live more than underworlds.

Maybe because the story is divided into two episodes, I think there are too many unfinished stories in the last episode. I don't like the screenwriter of this episode very much. It should be because of the relationship between the previous episode and the next episode that there are many side lines, and each line only talks about the beginning, so I am very distracted. But this should be a personal issue, and many friends also say that it looks good.

    Destined to be To Qifeng's classic work

    The end of this film is enough to make us pay tribute to all the creators of Galaxy Films! I don't know what the abridged version of SARFT looks like.
