forward------ is an old script. In 1992, Abel Ferarra made "Bad Lieutenant", which is the "92 version". This
film is a remake of the 1992 film of the same name "Bad Lieutenant". Famous for its dirty and rough video methods, bold and spicy exposure of events, and thorough and profound human nature exploration, the new works have not surpassed the old ones at this level, and it is difficult to surpass them.

The first shot of the film has Standard American black humor, the lieutenant played by Cage picked up the sexy photo of his girlfriend in the closet of his colleague, said "nice bosom" wickedly, and then showed the classic grinning expression and stuffed it into his own. in the wallet. in front of the prosecutor.
(This is the first impression of the protagonist, and the director also took this film to focus on the lieutenant.)
Immediately, the prosecutor urged him to handle the case efficiently. The answer is "fuck XXX, fuckYYY, fuckZZZ, fuck everything." The
lieutenant's despicable behavior fills the first scene of the movie, but it's nothing compared to the later evils such as drug use, gambling, prostitution, and blackmail.
The film shows us a contradictory policeman, a contradictory story
——————————————————————————————
Everyone has desires in their hearts. Desires are the incarnation of the devil. Indulgence, people always hide it on the other side of themselves under the pressure of the law and the bottom line of moral standards. But many times, people can't have such a good beginning and end, so women become mistresses, honest officials become Li Gang, and young musicians become Yao. So did Lieutenant Conrad. He is extremely filial to his parents, even taking care of a dog, but at the same time he is an out-and-out shameless bastard who has sex with the wives of drug addicts on the street, while anti-drug, while taking drugs, while selling heroin In order to find witnesses when handling the case, he cut off the oxygen tube of the old lady and threatened the maid to tell him his whereabouts.
Afterwards, they yelled at the latter - "The country is going to decline because of people like you!"
There is a sentence in "Infernal Affairs" - "If you come out and mix, you will have to pay it back sooner or later."
He gambled, he went to prostitutes, he was heavily in debt, was blackmailed by the gangsters and bit the ass of the gang boss he desperately arrested with his mouth.
He didn't have the ability to pay it back, so he suffered.
So his girlfriend, who was a prostitute, was raped by the gangster, and his old friend ripped his face off.
All kinds of contradictions make this role rich.
The film's portrayal of emotion is nuanced, and there's a pulp fiction tone that runs through the film.
Quentin Tallintino-esque B-movie soundtrack and visual effects make the film extraordinarily brilliant.
The Tucao-style lens is extremely cold.
At the end of the film, the lieutenant sucked drugs mixed in between the gang's deliveries, laughed desperately, and watched the gang boss who worked his life to exchange money for the gang boss who came to collect the debt with a double tube to fortune, and beat him into pieces of minced meat. A lizard crawled out of the corpse at this time, and the soundtrack was a bohemian modified train rock, reminiscent of "Apocalypse Now"
and waited until the gunshots stopped, "After a shot, I saw his soul Dancing!!!", the lieutenant said, laughing up to the sky, with peak B-level humor, as the audience saw the owner of the corpse dance in the air.
The transition of the picture is the scene of the bullfighting competition on TV, and the dance is similar.
One of the things to watch is the lieutenant's love for his prostitute girlfriend and his affection for his family. Its high net content can be summed up in "spiritual loyalty and love", - "Whether it's 2P, 3P group p or whatever, you are my wife." The lieutenant's father was an outstanding soldier, This has always been an entry point to contrast the internal ideological contradictions of the lieutenant.
At the end of the film, the debt collector was beaten into pieces,,, the major case that the lieutenant had given up was inexplicably broken, and the gang boss who he used to cheat his father was shot to death by XXYYOO. In the end, the lieutenant becomes a captain, and the prostitute girlfriend becomes a pot-bellied housewife.
The director made a counter-attack at the end, which seemed very contradictory. It can be said that in order to distinguish the story from the old version, the director took great pains and spared no effort. While highlighting the badness of the "Bad Lieutenant", he made some corrections from time to time, and never let McDonagh slip into a deeper abyss, despite this The choice may be more in line with the cognition of mainstream social values. But it undermines the enjoyment of the film. Perhaps in the field of art, tragedy has more long-term and profound artistic appeal. Literary works such as "Romeo and Juliet", "The Liang Zhu", and film works such as "Titanic", "The Reader", etc., but such an ending But it is full of the irony it deserves, a shameless bastard gets rich, and the side meaning implies all kinds of corruption in the government, which is chilling!
At the end, the captain sits in the aquarium watching the rain with the addict he rescued from diving many years ago, thinking about detoxification.
Fish, implying the desire for a happy life.
But there was more blood and heroin in the air.
