To Qifeng's masterpiece, the thought of the work is undoubtedly sharp, subverting the traditional mode of entertainment between police and bandits. The epitome of Hong Kong’s social politics contains a lot of political metaphors. On the surface, it deconstructs the internal structure of the underworld, but in essence, it alludes to the survival laws of the times. The director said: "People always say that I made "Underworld" to make politics, but those are not the politics I made, and the reality is really like this, I just express it in the movie." Among them, the mainland GA before 1997 The undercover underworld slowly penetrated deep inside, but the people inside were unaware (Master Su). "There is a hidden faucet stick in the house where it is written that we must adhere to the socialist road. To Qifeng secretly helps build a bridge between the two societies. Big D has another word, Xinhe Liansheng, and it will start a fight if there is a disagreement, which is also very symbolic. , that is to say, the birth of another prefix is usually a struggle in the community's den, and it is not buried. If you have strong strength, people will start a new job.
Du's work has the most political ambition, and wants to create Hong Kong's "The Godfather". As Du said, "That's because what I want to show this time is a Buddhist concept of cause and effect about the history of Chinese gangs." The causal philosophy to review the historical memory of the underworld, their organization is also inseparable from the deep anatomy of human nature revealed for the purpose of the power struggle. "Infernal Affairs" tells the struggle of human nature under the circumstance of constant cycle of karma. And "Underworld" talks about the internal struggle between people and people, and discusses the balance between "benefit and righteousness". Under the surface of elegance, there is a black world of cold violence. Arranged at a slow rhythm, the cool gray colors show the calmness of the characters, they are all in a narrow world without light.
Put away the gun and pick up the knife, which strengthens the effect of violence, but the overall story is very less violent, and there is a bit of blood and blood in the dark. The director said, "I used a bolder angle to look at "Underworld", that is, from a literary point of view. Of course, this is not literature, but I want to try this concept, because I think great movies are literary comparisons. High." The underworld without gunpowder, coupled with Luo Dayou's chilling Yun Gong sound, makes the plot more rhythmic, exposes the inner workings of the underworld, and exposes the various shady stories behind the election. It's very political in itself.
Contrary to the usual stylized works such as "Gunfire", "PTU" and "Judo Dragon and Tiger List", they focus on narrative ability, and the narrative structure is complicated. The contraction of time, the six-hour time limit, strengthens the compactness of the plot. In space, the montage method parallels the story of the hand's whereabouts as Guangzhou Luolongtou stick, and the uncle of the boss sits in the prison. Enhance the drama of the story.
The character depiction is even richer. The characters appear slowly in the first fifteen minutes, with a clear structure and clear layers. Ale's appearance is deep, and the elegant ordinary people hide the means of bloody and violent killings under the outer layer, and take advantage of words and foresight. Da D is arrogant, arrogant and domineering, and only lacks patience to hold on to the line. The new generation of Zhanmi is full of ambition. Listening to the English class shows that he is constantly absorbing new knowledge, eating brains, and flying alone. Follow the rules and be loyal to the grandfather. In order to achieve the goal, what can be done is Dongguan Aberdeen. Deng Bo, who is familiar with the operation of the underworld system and tried to maintain his teeth by relying on his seniority for many years, has the right to vote, but he only affects the political situation and has no real power to coordinate the overall situation. Master Su who knows every corner.
Allegorization of objects. In the film, Luo Lu stick is beaten to death. The lu stick is the highest symbol of power. The process of competing for the leading stick after several turns in the middle suggests that the underlying political disputes are dark in nature. Moreover, Deng Bo told Ale about the prosperous history of the past prefixes, which added a sense of historical vicissitudes.
In fact, there are no people in it, and they are all about business. Therefore, blowing chickens wants to smear the prefix and becomes a victim of the left prefix. Use your mind to operate, no longer just fight and kill, everyone is comfortable and calm, and further hides the shadows. "The bewitched boy doesn't use his brain, he is a bewitched boy for the rest of his life."
The underworld has a strong sense of history in the historical development of Hong Kong, and its long-term existence has made it deeply rooted. It has subtly transformed into a partisan existence in this city and has become a part of Hong Kong's history and culture. To Qifeng said, "I write things with this idea. I don't praise or criticize the underworld. I only write about this group of people, this group of people who exist in the community." How troublesome, keep order, everyone has a better life, maintain stability, stability, prosperity and live together.
The vulgar words of the third-rate in the market are extremely language art. Xu sir threatened to do things, and Deng Boguo sentenced more than 100,000 people to sit in a prison. The counterattack was extremely threatening, and Xu sir would be shocked by three points. "Underworlds all engage in small circles, engage in democracy, learn how to learn new records, and inherit their father's business." "The election of people and places is 100 years earlier than the election of the chief executive..." Very political Allegorized. At the end, Zhanmi talked about the survival dilemma of the gangster struggle, "The triad must be the biggest one. If it doesn't matter, leave in time.
Ale's crushing of Da D is a terrifying demonstration of the bottom line of human nature. "Song to Heaven" has a tender melody, and the lyrics call it brothers and sisters.
A very short work, but it takes more time to read than to watch.
300 years ago, they were righteous people who burned yellow paper.
Now, they are underworld, and they have burned yellow paper.
It's just that the ceremony has become formalized. Once they made contributions to the people, they fought against the Qing Dynasty and restored the Ming Dynasty. Now when their verbal sentiments conflict with each other, they take advantage of the word. There is no doubt that the struggle for rights will continue indefinitely.
Just as the first part of Johnnie To's words shows the historical memory of the underworld, the second part is about where the underworld will go.

Feelings revisited:
The soundtrack is chilly.
To add a few shots to analyze, at the end, the fish that Ale caught was placed in the water, the fish was a metaphor for the big D, and the fish were generally caught in the water. The image of the hook fish adds a bit of blood to the violence that follows.
When the uncle chooses the person to speak in the title, everyone keeps talking, but Deng Bo said, "Please tea, please." (Du Qifeng's words are the culture of Chaozhou people, and it is also the scene he saw in the city when he was a child. It belongs to His private memory.) Immediately everyone shut up, and the next round of "Forever Smile" sounded, Big D and his wife won the shirt, Ale bought and gave away, a series of scenes and soundtracks to ease the atmosphere alternated, on the one hand, it showed that Deng Uncle's influence in Grandpa directly implicates the uncles and the two future talkers; at the same time, it is also a contrast for the next "mountain rain is coming and the wind is full of buildings" big dragon and phoenix battle.
When Da D is rectifying the dragon root, the long-range lens depicts Da D at the top of the mountain to show its status, and at the same time, the height of the mountain is lengthened, and the effect of violent impact is strengthened when the wooden cage is pushed down the mountain behind.
The scene of the underworld sworn sworn incense sticks to the ground implies that sworn sworn sworn oath of life and death in the famous sense, in fact, there is a spark of conflict in everyone's heart.
When Jimmy handed the stick to Ale, the light was dim and yellow hitting Jimmy, giving people a new momentum rising, while the cold cyan hitting Ale made him feel gloomy and shuddering. When the money was paid, the two merged in the dim light, showing that everyone integrated into each other.
Datou faithfully followed the gang's rules, but he was beaten by Dongguan Tsai, indicating that the old rules were outdated and out of date.
"Song to Heaven" plays an ironic role in the moral sworn affiliation of the underworld.
I think in the success or failure of the battle between Ale and Da D, the key points are that Ale is very good at bribing people's hearts, respects his uncle, uses any means to achieve his goals, and is prudent on the outside and forbears the murderous intentions hidden inside, while the big D is called by On the plane, the super-strong juniors eat porcelain heels, and they are so arrogant that they can't get along with them, so they are destined to judge.
He still likes to go his own way, be fearless, be a dagger for grandpa, and wave down the plane given by Jimmy, although he will never be in the top position.

Underworld 2: Peace is Precious
The blood that is not shed in 1 will be shed in 2.
A few lens analysis:
Jimmy put the stick into Dumbo's coffin, explaining that Liansheng's old way of playing was buried together with Dumbo.
Ale pushed Deng Bo to fall from the building, strengthening the sense of violence, but also implied that Ale was involved in the center of the power vortex struggle, and it was difficult to come out again.
The ending is really heart-shattering. Mr. Shi directly killed and joined forces with the way of playing, taking over completely, business can be done, but according to our order, everything is destined by us, Jimmy is destined to be in the arena and cannot help himself. In the end, the wife is pregnant with a child, suggesting that Jimmy's future cannot be separated from this fateful game.
Attached is an exclusive interview with the characters of the movie "Underworld"--Wang Tianlin & To Qifeng & Tony Leung Ka Fai & Yam Dahua, a simple record. (Station B)
Du Qifeng's philosophy originally came from the underworld, where there is a patriotic saying. In the 1990s, DL had already sent people to recruit security. Therefore, after returning, the underworld became quieter and better, so the organization of the underworld also changed with a regime. change occurs. There is also Ale by the pond who made a murderous intention in an instant, and even killed Da D in front of his son, which is to highlight the horror of the bottom line of human nature. Of course, the elecetion system of the underworld is closely related to the current era and affects each other. At the same time, he believes that the underworld, as Hong Kong's history and culture, is a part of Hong Kong's existence, growing up with him, a kind of complex, and of course he hates the criminal behavior of the underworld. To Qifeng praised Uncle Bing for his amazing performance. In several scenes, Uncle Bing played him very much.
One of the most important ideas in interviewing Tony Leung is that the two-talk thing proposed by Big D was just small talk, a very simple and simple idea for the sake of the word, and a temporary intuition came up, and a wrong idea caused him to be alive. Smashed into serious injuries, even when buried alive, the consequences of convulsions. He also said the film showed the weakness of men in power struggles. In the oral presentation of love, behind the scenes is a world of intrigue, you compete with others, and one mountain cannot hide two tigers.
Ren Dahua's words to kill is a moment of impulsiveness, become a country, and the leader sticks to me. Suddenly, you talk to me about two people, and if you provoke me, I will kill you.
Wang Tianlin said that the younger generation must be diligent, do something, and do it again. A recording engineer should also strive for a director position, so that he can be promoted.
The underworld all over the world has a purpose, which is profit.
- To Qifeng
