After watching the movie with high expectations, I feel a little pity because of some flaws in the three views. However, it is not difficult to understand that the film can not be in the first place, but also stand out in the summer file under repeated epidemics, causing a little heat.

On the one hand, since the recovery of the epidemic, qualified cinema action films are scarce; On the other hand, in the past five or six years, Hong Kong directors have devoted themselves to "new mainstream blockbusters", but the extremes, madness and excesses of classic Hong Kong films have been divorced from everyone for too long.

This is the reason why the film is popular, and it is also touching and sad.

This film has nostalgic scenes of Hong Kong films, the classic relationship between "two heroes" and hearty fighting scenes. But in terms of subject matter, it is a Hong Kong film with more contemporary significance. ?

Because it subverts most of the old Hong Kong films in the past, focusing on the external conflict between the police and bandits, but focusing on the distinction between black and white inside the police station. It is intertwined with a clear social food chain and reflects the Chinese-style human society, which is extremely dangerous and complicated.

Ao is the villain in the play, but his role is exactly the most extreme three-dimensional overall situation.

He used to be a rising star in the police department. In the kidnapping case of a rich man, his boss acquiesced in his abuse of lynching to gain credit. After the accident, he promised to protect his boss, but he didn't keep his promise; The rescued rich man was indifferent to him; The Lord, a good colleague and brother, did not tell a white lie for him. Finally, he lost the direction of justice.

In evil, he is a bad policeman who enforces the law violently; Yu Shan is also dereliction of duty in law enforcement. His embarrassing situation is not so much caused by the corruption and greed of superior leaders as that he is a poor man abandoned by both sides of justice.

And this is as mentioned in the film:

"The world is not black and white, and there are gray areas."

When something bad happens, someone has to bear the consequences, and Ao became the scapegoat of the whole action. And the helmet he wore when fighting with the police and drug dealers seems to imply that these people have more faces than cruel villains.

In the final analysis, the most ruthless people are nothing more than playthings of money and power. The two protagonists, Aoo and Bangzhu, are members of this social order class. They seem to be law enforcers, but in fact they are at the bottom of the power structure and only the executors of the upper will.

In the face of injustice and darkness, the villain, headed by A Ao, is not motivated by desire, but by anger, which is revenge for the unjust reality.

In the film, he repeatedly stressed:

"Whoever has a problem will lose face even to God."

In fact, he did the same. Even brothers, once they make mistakes, their men will never go easy on them. On the surface, it was his mob character that killed his conscience. In fact, who gave him face in the whole incident?

A senior police officer who promised to protect them After being rescued, Mr. Huo, the capitalist who kicked off the bridge? Or the lofty defender of the so-called "procedural justice", but directly ruined five people's lives?

None of them. And he does not belong to evil itself, but the so-called justice has caused today's evil.

At the end of the film, Aoo still lost. When the red dots of countless guns are aimed at Aoo, it is like starlight shining on him.

People came to this world not for black or white, but to penetrate black and white and return to a state of perfect balance. If life has been in no way back, then this is exactly his best destination.

Throughout the film, Ao is an out-and-out tragic figure. He plunged into the corrupt bureaucracy like a knife. His highlight moment may be the last 20 minutes of the war, without any carelessness, but the three views and double marks of the film are also reflected incisively and vividly at that moment.

"If you were the one who chose to chase coke that day, would our fate be reversed?"

This is Aoao's question about the soul of the Lord, a self-righteous man, and also about the unfair fate, but obviously the Lord can't answer.

We often say that ethics is a collective concept. For an individual, everyone has his own moral standard, which is sometimes contrary to the mainstream moral concept of society, but not necessarily absolutely wrong.

As a good policeman, Bangzhu is honest and upright, and his scale is basically consistent with the mainstream moral values of society. At this level, he is white.

But even like him, he will make mistakes. After all, everything is not black and white. There are many choices that people don't understand. Actually, there is no choice. When you stand in the same scene, you will feel the same way.

When the state owner's wife was kidnapped and learned that the bomb would not stop counting before the kidnapper's pulse stopped, he was eager to protect his wife and did not hesitate to shoot the policeman who was going to shoot the gangster, even if he had to pay the price or be fired.

Even when being investigated, I don't hesitate to play emotional cards, but I don't mention whether my behavior is wrong.

At that moment, in order to strengthen the principle, the image of justice that insisted on not lying in court completely collapsed. When other players rushed in and said, "We are a team and have something to undertake together", it was in sharp contrast with Ao who was abandoned by everyone at the beginning.

In the final analysis, the state-owned are lucky.

Because his colleagues are not hurt, he can continue to live by the standards of good and evil that he firmly believes in. However, Aoo was involved in the abacus of his superiors and made a big mistake.

Why are you so violent and angry here?

It doesn't matter who you used to be, what matters is who you can't be. There is not so much empathy in the world, but fate has not hammered you.

The ending of the film stands on the side of legal victory, which is a choice to keep pace with the times. There is nothing wrong with being guilty, but what is wrong?

The two people in the film, one desperately sticks to the rule of law and the other desperately despises it, which is the reason why they have the gray scale of good and evil at the same time, and the double standard and three views of the Lord of the country just illustrate this tragedy.

However, we should also understand that Ao can't just be a villain, he has a choice.

In the face of misfortune, it is easy to blame fate and system, but don't forget that personality determines fate. In the face of an environment that cannot be changed by our own efforts, how to choose good and evil for ourselves is still a realistic problem that needs to be questioned. ?

Between thinking of heaven and thinking of hell, Aoao did not reflect on his identity and position. Just like his name "Qiu Gangao", he went his own way without hesitation, and eventually he was trapped in the anxiety brought by the environment and gradually moved towards nothingness. The Lord of the country can't escape justice and accountability under the double standards and three views, and he feels the same.

Malicious is because it is hurt by kindness, and evil will be wrapped by kindness. This is human nature. Fortunately, after watching the movie, your blood is still boiling.
