Nine Hundred and One. A Man's Romance Is to Meet His Opponent

"Dark War" is over!

There was silence in the theater at first, and then the applause roared!

Cao Meng breathed a sigh of relief, and took the main creative staff to the stage to call off the curtain.

The applause lasted for a long time.

It can be seen that the audience is satisfied with this movie!

Including Liu Yu, an old film critic who likes old Hong Kong films very much.

After the film premiere.

Many people can't wait to start writing reviews for this film.

For some movies, you give enough red envelopes, and many film critics may not be willing to write more, even if they write, it is sloppy!

But for some movies, if you don’t give him a red envelope, they are willing to write, and they can’t wait to write!

This "Dark War" is obviously the case.

After returning to the hotel, Liu Yu immediately sat in front of the computer and started writing film reviews.

"The pinnacle of Hong Kong cop films!"

"I don't know when, we all think that the era of Hong Kong films has passed, Hong Kong films are dead, this is what I once shouted!

Once upon a time, speaking of the golden age of Hong Kong Island movies, what we must not miss are the gangster movies!

When the mainland film market is rising rapidly, when the first movie breaks through 1 billion, 2 billion, 3 billion, what is left of the once-popular Hong Kong Island movies?

"Eight Stars Annunciation", "Nine Stars Annunciation", all kinds of dog-tailed sequels, all kinds of crude productions without sincerity!

At that time, as an old Hong Kong film critic, I was angry, outraged, and sad!

I used to think that maybe Hong Kong movies really don't adapt to the development of the times? Is it true that the audience no longer likes watching stories that happened on Hong Kong Island?

There used to be quite a few old directors from Hong Kong Island who used the banner of reviving Hong Kong films, but they turned out to be peddlers again and again, smashing the Hong Kong Island film brand again and again!

In fact, when Director Cao Meng said that he wanted to make a real Hong Kong Island gangster film, my first reaction was, again?

Why use another? Because I've heard it too much!

Hong Kong Island movies, what's left? Feelings? No, even that bit of sentiment has been ruined by those insincere crude fabrications!

Until last night, I was very glad that although I didn't believe it in my heart, my body was still very honest, probably because I still couldn't let go of the attachment to Hong Kong-style movies in my bones.

So I saw "Dark War"!

The opening of the film made me feel that maybe this time it is true!

He Shangsheng, a policeman on Hong Kong Island, was transferred from the Flying Tigers to a civilian job. His desire to return to the Flying Tigers proves that he is unwilling to be ordinary!

On him, I saw and smelled a strong scent of Hong Kong Island police.

He is the same as the hero in many old Hong Kong gangster movies. He is a dry detective with superb professional ability. He can force black policemen to commit suicide with a few words, but similarly, he also has shortcomings.

He doesn't seem to know how to get along with people, and he wants to take care of everything. In fact, it's precisely these things that make me feel that there is something inside!

Huang Qifa is the boss of the protagonist of a traditional old Hong Kong movie!

It is enough to have one dry detective, and Huang sir only needs to be in charge of being funny.

And that's true, he's been in charge of being funny all along!

In terms of the plot of the movie. Crime, wits, police and robbers, these elements of the film, usually put forward extremely high requirements for the weaving of the plot.

How could the scene where Andy threw away the red toilet paper and was blown away by the wind, how could it not be moving? Another example is the dialogue between the doctor and Hua Tsai: "I don't think we will meet again", "It's just this life".

Isn't that kind of free and easy a familiar feeling?

Hong Kong island gangster films, in many movies, you will find that many characters, they are so free and easy about death, maybe this is also a unique feature of Hong Kong island movies?

In addition to the unrestrained and open-mindedness shown by the characters in the face of death, the strong spirit of the world in the confrontation between the pros and cons, and the sympathy between the enemy and the friend allow people to temporarily put aside the conflict between good and evil , and concentrate on appreciating the purity and beauty of human nature, only when we abandon our own standpoint and imagine communication in a state of no social identity, can we feel a little spark of de-identified chivalrous spirit in the real world.

Of course, there is also love. Some people say that the love in the film is good to the point. But I think just the opposite. Because of this weightless love, it focuses on portraying the most beautiful part of love: encounter and heartbeat. As for ambiguity, holding hands, passionate love, none of them exist. In the hearts of each other, the man and woman are still mysterious and beautiful, but the tragic beauty of ending without a disease further defines this relationship as a lyric poem. This kind of encounter can be called an accident in the accident, so we believe that this kind of heartbeat is the pure in the pure.

Finally, is the advanced wits.

For gangster movies, I usually expect more plot reversals and unexpected truths. If there is a reasonable logic, that would be even better.

But "Dark Wars" not only fulfilled all these, but also gave me a divine revelation, like a light tragedy, paying tribute to all the possessions in life that will eventually pass away.

This lightness of escape from the gravitational pull of reality pervades the film and is especially captivating. Concern for the person you are interested in, respect for your opponent, these emotions that should be full of ritual, are all hidden in the ordinary day at the end of the film, on an ordinary bus, in a gossip conversation.

This is the Hong Kong Island gangster movie we are familiar with!

"Dark War" is a sincere work, an old Hong Kong police and gangster film worth recalling!

Thank you Wang Yifan, thank you Cao Meng, for allowing me to revisit such a Hong Kong-flavored police film after so many years! "

After writing this comment, Liu Yu smiled and sent out the comments separately.

Similarly, there are still many film critics like Liu Yu who are outspoken.

Hong Kong films may indeed have declined, but no one can deny that Hong Kong films have, or once had, status in Chinese films.

For this reason, many media also gave quite good evaluations!

"This is a story that happened within 72 hours. This is the energy of the last four weeks of a person's life. It is about revenge, about cops and gangsters, about rivalry, and about the regret of falling in love.

In the battle between He Shangsheng and Hua Tsai, every time you go to the police station, you win.

A total of three moves were made, the first time was disintegrated due to the desperateness brought about by tension;

For the last time, He Shangsheng turned and left, not because of fear, but because of sympathy? Could not bear? This kind of chess meets opponents, meets each other, hates each other late, and cherishes each other.

The love between Hua Tsai and Leung Wanting ended before it even started.

The same three times, the first time I relied on nervousness and fear; the second time I misunderstood but fell in love; the third time "I have no time" ended hastily. The love on the bus is so simple and so special.

In the end, Liang Wanting sat alone on the bus, Sapphire, this love has long since ended, but it will never end.

Four weeks, 72 hours, a match at chess, and a failed love, there must be no regrets in this life. "- Times Entertainment!
