Recently, I watched two well-known B-level movies: "Drift Street" and the remake of "Bloodwashing Police District No. 13", and they all ended happily with a gun-drawn duel like a Western hero. It is different from the artistic conception school chivalry of the love of children, the straightforward action school chivalry seems to be more real. Let's take an example to illustrate the difference: In "Infernal Affairs", when the last two people faced each other on the roof, Hong Kong's artistic conceptionist chivalrous people used clips such as ring shooting and slow motion to highlight their cool poses, and the last classic one. The headshot needs to be repeated several times from multiple angles and in all directions, so that the audience has enough time to sigh with emotion; while the American remake has neatly edited shots, one shot and one shot, and before the audience reacts, everyone will die. . The reason why I say it feels real is because this kind of action-style chivalry continues the desolate feeling of the vast and deserted western films. Children's love grows under the tide of cruel reality, in fact, it really doesn't decide much; those dramatic moments that decide reality, as if they should be full of meaning, are often the moments when the gun is drawn out in confusion.
It can be said that the influence of CLINT EASTWOOD's image of the Western Lone Ranger in elementary school was not small. This old man who is now director of various masterpieces of scenery, the ruthlessness of that year can be regarded as affecting a generation. Haruki Murakami said that in CLINT EASTWOOD's films, there is one expression for more than three hours, which is by no means an exaggeration; his acting skills are that he can use this only expression to interpret all emotions. GORILLAZ also wrote a song specifically in his name.
Whether it's for fame, money, or revenge, after the gunfire, there is often only one man who leaves everything behind, no matter if he is THE GOOD, THE BAD, or THE UGLY; but even if he leaves here, he still can't get out of his back The desolation of the Western Desert.
