(Including the plot, please don't watch it if you haven't seen it, just go away!)

I can tell you how much I fear Jackie Chan, it's like seeing a mouse bigger than a cat on the street, his footsteps stopped, his face stiffened, and then he joined his head. He didn't even know how to turn, stared straight at it, and ran away after five seconds. I went to Element with P to see the super compound, but it also has an occupancy rate of about 95%, which means that even if people buy the second line of the super large screen, Hong Kong movies are recovering. I am really embarrassed to tell others that I once asked: "Happy How many games are there at 7:00?


But there is no doubt that "Shinjuku Incident" was shot quite well, abstractly speaking, it is bold! Bored to say: good to see. At first I read the synopsis: Chinese migrant workers smuggled to Japan and struggled to survive in society. Later, they participated in triad activities and gradually became "upper-level". I thought that the plot of the movie is not right is the violent version of "The Story of Finding a Homeland". However, in the latter part of the film, the characters were gradually distorted due to the improvement of their living conditions. Xu Jinglei, the eldest wife of Heibang, suddenly put on Guanyin and said bitterly, "People, you have to be satisfied!" She in turn missed the simple life in the Northeast, and after that, Shinjuku was like a besieged city, and her personality collapsed. , not only the united foreigners, but also the local Japanese people who you want to count have become crazy. Only Jackie Chan, a good gentleman, is still awe-inspiring. He was slapped by Fan Bingbing and supported his brother. He never turned back in the dark night.


The point is here. The director and screenwriter's irony of Jackie Chan's image of a good man is quite obvious, and his disdain for his pursuit of unity and wishful thinking is even more provocative than the format of the death of the two main characters. The so-called moral wisdom of "the Chinese don't beat the Chinese", "helping each other in the same boat", and "putting oneself on the other side" were all struck by Qian Jiale with a sharp knife here, and their souls were dissipated - this is enough joy. I feel that in terms of human nature and rhythm handling, "Shinjuku Incident" is Er Dongsheng's mature work. In my opinion, there are two best scenes to watch, one is the Tianjin chestnut car, which is so warm; the other is the gang attacking the city, and the light and shadow editing closely follows Kurosawa Akira.


In terms of actors, Jackie Chan insisted on being a good gentleman but was secretly satirized by the director, but he can be forgiven for his rhythm of reasoning in the movie and selling shampoo commercials; the two female characters are considered competent, and Wu Yanzu's role has a lot of room to play, and he I have a good grasp of the character's psychology, but in my heart, he is a thorough "English man", and it is still too out of place to play a mainland boy. It was Lin Xue who was stealing the show. Finally, I have to appeal: Don't be afraid of Jackie Chan, go see it!

    Much better than imagined. . . . Jackie Chan's death should be the biggest breakthrough. Wu Yanzu is very professional, Fan Bingbing is more expressive than Xu Jinglei in acting, although I don't understand, but I feel this way. It's totally unnecessary to use these two actors who don't know what the inside story is. The film is vulgar and has breakthroughs. Finished it all at once. The final battle, starting with the stone, is very satisfying!
