The tenth "Der Clown" was released in 2005
It is another old-fashioned story of a retired special forces soldier seeking justice, and another human weapon that has endured for many years for revenge. —Max.
The old-fashioned plot structure allows us to be like Kong Ming who predicts the future: the retired soldier who represents the knight, the loved one is killed, the incompetence of the police, the revenge of the knight, everyone is happy. Since there is no intellectual challenge, let us look at the essence of the movie - the audio-visual effects.
First: For the Chinese audience, the scene of 30 BMW cars being bombed on the highway was the first time they saw it. Maybe BMW is nothing in Germany, or maybe it was in the past 2006 , BMW's reputation in China is as the spokesperson for "hit and run", but there is no denying that in the hearts of the audience, it is still a graceful gentleman, just like James Bond.
Second: The handling of the helicopter's flight in the film exceeds the conventional state in people's minds, and the series of flights to avoid heat-sensitive missiles are even more jaw-dropping. Not even seen in Air Force air shows.
Third: The unique resoluteness and capable temperament of the Germans make the rhythm of the film crisp and compact. Of course, this is the skill of the editor.
Fourth: The fourth and most important point is that it is not inferior to Hollywood's stunt scenes, but this kind of scene production rarely uses computers to restore the real excitement of reality to the greatest extent. This can't help but make people feel I admire him, he has a bit of the Chinese "go-for-broke" attitude, and it reminds us of Jackie Chan in his prime.
These four points alone are enough to occupy a place.
The ninth violent neighborhood, Banlieue 13, was released in 2004
In Paris in 2013, a wall separated the world from hell. There was no law or system, only a gangster who committed all kinds of evil. The natural law of "the weak eats the strong, and the fittest survive" is brought into full play. Although it is cruel, we must admit that this is the reality.
I can't help but want to say something: "Many people opposed violence, but they all died under violence."
I really want to know, what did Buddha do in this kind of situation? What would you do in the situation? Influence the world with Buddhism? Unless Buddha is invulnerable to bullets and missiles, he will not even have a chance to speak.
Another police elite--Damière infiltrated the enemy, and another wronged criminal--Leito rescued his sister who fell into the clutches of the devil. The two experienced inevitable The process from hostility to cooperation to life and death friendship.
Of course, after going through many difficulties, it is inevitable that the real mastermind will appear, and it is another design that thinks it will break the audience's glasses - the real mastermind turns out to be the police chief.
I really can’t help but sigh again: Has this ending become fashionable since the death of the ancient dragon?
Reason for being on the list: It can be called the perfect action in the history of film, without any superfluous elements. The most rare thing is that all the actions are so smooth and smooth, coupled with impeccable editing, especially the strong wind at the beginning of the film. Audiences who have watched this film will definitely be impressed by the actor's neat skills in the rainy chase scene, even the Chinese audiences who are the most picky about action. You must know that they are all masters of "extreme sports".
The eighth Taxi Express 2 TAXI 2 was released in 2000
Daniel, an avid car expert, drives a modified Peugeot that is not inferior to 007's car , rampant in France.
Want to go to heaven? No problem. Do you want to experience car skiing? no problem. So domineering, yet so humorous and cute, even Stallone couldn't help but make a cameo in it.
When the world rally champion was surpassed by Daniel, he was so useless that he angrily changed his career and became a traffic policeman, just to catch Daniel who was speeding with his own hands.
When the Peugeot overtakes the world's fastest bullet train, when the entire city's traffic police are willing to become the supporting role of this awkward-looking young man and enjoy it, when the clumsy but occasionally clever Harper can be there. When the position of police chief remains high, we really have to sigh: with 360 jobs, he is the top pick in the field, taxi drivers are so awesome, and even an idiot can be the commander-in-chief of security in Marseille. How can this world still exist? What's not to be crazy about?
A knight-errant, but definitely not a prodigal son, but the BMW has been replaced by a luxury car, and the European Middle Ages has been replaced by the lazy French Arc de Triomphe.
This is a series of movies, and the fourth one has been proudly released this year. At that time, director Luc Besson promised that he would only make ten films in his life, but the "Taxi Express" series accounted for 1/3 of the quota. I really don't know how he planned to end it.
Personally, I feel that the other three episodes are inferior to the second episode, especially the third episode, which is simply a perfect interpretation of "the dog's tail continues the mink".
Reason for being on the list: Apart from the devilish Peugeot car, the biggest selling point is the humor and calmness of the French. Audiences who have watched this film may have the biggest feeling: The emperor is really not in a hurry to die. eunuch. No matter what the situation is, the French are always humorous and nonchalant.
Seventh place Swordfish, released in 2001
A terrorist or a radical patriot? None of this matters to the unintentional person. As long as you have a colorful mouth, you can explain yourself in all directions. John Travolta's wonderful speech at the beginning has already pointed out the theme of this article: in reality, the police are not always the victors, on the contrary, it is often the criminals who go free.
When bullets are flying all over the sky and bombs and human bodies are shot in 360-degree slow motion, we who are used to seeing bloody scenes should be satisfied. It turns out that killing can be even more shocking and beautiful.
Reason for being on the list: Needless to say, John Travolta's perfect performance, the excitement of the scene is a cliché, and the interlocking plots are inevitable elements. When John's unprecedented escape plan unfolds little by little, when a bus full of hostages, robbers and bombs is hoisted by a helicopter and rampages over the city, what else can we say? What a big deal.
Of course, as long as you have money and dare to think, this effect is nothing. The key is whether you can think of it.
But, did you imagine that the robbers managed to escape in the end? A bunch of policemen worked hard for a long time and finally got a turtle. As an audience, did you feel a sense of joy?
So, this is the answer.
Sixth place Transporter 2 was released in 2005
At this time, the concept of police and robbers has been very blurred. Who is the police? If the police represent justice, who are the gangsters? If they are bandits, they will bring disaster to the country and the people.
Rather, it is "hunting", and whoever is more skilled is the winner.
Fortunately we don’t have to worry about such topics because there is nothing we can do about it.
A bodyguard who can achieve the level of Jason Statham is definitely an authority in the industry.
From the old BMW in the first part to the Audi A8 in the second part, even Audi’s Lamborghini, which is considered the world’s best sports car, is only a supporting role. I almost feel that cars are the protagonists of this genre, especially in the face of Audi's rise in the film industry in recent years.
Without further ado, what’s the reason for being on the list?
Yuan Kui’s martial arts design? A wild chase? This is certainly essential.
But have you ever carefully observed Jason’s skills? It is difficult enough for a Westerner to display the flexibility of an Easterner with a burly figure, and the style of opening and closing, fierce and domineering yet agile and crisp is definitely an anomaly in action movies. I can guarantee that it will definitely be a success. in this way.
If you compare today’s action stars, I’m afraid no one can match him except Donnie Yen.
Of course there is another reason: car stunts.
When the Audi rushed from the rooftop to the building under construction opposite, spinning intricately, and stopped exactly on the edge, when the Audi reversed in mid-air on the sea, with the help of the huge and heavy steel hook of the crane, When the time bomb on the chassis is delicately and skillfully destroyed, it may only be comparable to Bond's explosive escape in "007 - GoldenEye" and "007 - Die Another Day"!
The fifth place Police Story series was released in 1985
The reason?
Do you need to say more? As long as you don't forget your roots.
Think about our teenagers. Since 1985, Jackie Chan has brought us so much shock and joy.
It was he who pioneered death-defying filmmaking. In the history of action films, his influence rivals that of Bruce Lee.
Just these two reasons are enough to firmly occupy a place. What's more, if you watch the films of the 1980s now, how many of them can still withstand the ravages of time?
How many things keep us happy?
Fourth place "Dark War" was released in 1999
Many people consider this film to be a milestone for Andy Lau's acting skills, because it won him his first Academy Award for Best Actor.
I have always wanted to ask those so-called experts, what is acting? What constitutes good acting?
Is it necessary that happiness, anger, sorrow, and joy are based on color?
Or is it hidden in the corners of the eyes and eyebrows?
Or melancholy, sorrowful, frightened?
Does acting have to express the character’s emotions?
Well, let me tell you, you are totally wrong.
For example, a well-trained agent, a killer who kills many people, will never act out.
Only idiots who score zero points in their life experience will foolishly write their emotions on their faces after decades of devastation. According to Mr. Gu Long’s words: countless times. His failures and countless painful experiences that kept him awake at night have taught him how to bury his emotions deeply in his heart, because once your opponent sees through your heart, you will only die.
After countless times of unimaginable pain, his nerves have become tougher than steel wires. There is an old saying in the world. Although I don’t know who said it, everyone has to admit it. , this sentence really makes sense: as a first-class swordsman, even if his wife is sleeping with another man next to him, he will not change his color.
And in our real world, there are many people whose minds have been tempered many times, and they can keep their minds as calm as ancient wells. Those who have experienced the vicissitudes of life and see through the essence of everything always reveal that A touch of indifference, just like Andy Lau in the film.
I think that this kind of state cannot be expressed by showing off the melancholy style of the eyes and eyebrows.
This so-called style probably only makes those teenage girls scream!
It is a kind of wind and light that is fearless in life and death.
And Andy Lau in this film once again moved me.
This is one of the reasons. Andy Lau's acting skills have undoubtedly reached this level.
As for the recent Yang Lijuan incident, objectively speaking, if a person has lived for twenty-nine years and still has such a naive mentality, then her life has been in vain.
A poor child has achieved what Andy Lau has achieved today through decades of unremitting efforts. I think everyone can only admire him. Unfortunately, pinkeye is an inborn disadvantage of human beings.
As for those ignorant people who angrily criticize Andy Lau and tell him to get married quickly, in their hearts, they may think that the love of a man and a woman, marriage and having children is the most important thing in life. But they know that in the hearts of many people, there is Many pursue beyond this feeling, and they see a more brilliant and brilliant realm, which is the realm of emptiness. Therefore, in their view, these so-called greatest people in the world are as indifferent as smoke.
Just like the Buddhists: If you are not a Buddha, how can you understand the Buddha's state of mind? How could he understand the world he saw?
In comparison, we are just a mustard seed in the ordinary world.
It’s a bit far-fetched. Let’s get back to this film. In fact, one of the big reasons for being on the list is because: “Dark War” pioneered a high-IQ film that makes you rack your brains, and it has attracted the attention of mainland audiences. There has been a qualitative leap in the aesthetics of movies.
Think about the intrigue when you saw "Dark War" for the first time. Do you still remember that kind of breathless brain running at high speed?
Do you still remember that such a film brings tenderness from beginning to end?
There is no killing, no bloodshed, the bombs are all fake, just a game of life played by two men who cherish each other, although the scene of Andy Lau coughing up blood is so heartbreaking, even though he is so careless. , although we lament the fragility of life,
but these two men played with it lightly.
Do you still remember that ambiguous failed love? Do you still remember that belated surprise?
A tavern.
A man and a woman.
A glass of water and coughing up blood.
In an instant, life is in secret.
Third place: Sha Po Lang, released in 2005
Yes, the plot is not novel, and is even cliche. The structure is not thrilling and the picture is not breakthrough. Are these important?
Perhaps for other films that can only make a living from this, these elements are extremely important.
However, for this film, even if it is shot on a DV, there are still good reasons for it to be on the list.
The first on-screen duel between three great martial artists, Donnie Yen, Sammo Hung and Wu Jing, no wires required, real fights, punches to the flesh, brand new martial arts design, Jujutu (the predecessor of Judo), wrestling, split muscles and bones. , ground strangulation and other mixed martial arts additions, this reason alone is enough.
When you see Donnie Yen's leg skills, which are said to be the most comparable to those of Shadowless Kicks, and the scene where he straightens his waist and throws the huge Sammo Hung out in mid-air, no matter what the ticket price, there is only one word: worth it.
One more word is: cool.
Indeed, a hearty fight is so damn enjoyable. This is a battle between men.
Brother Donnie Yen has great leg skills. When he was young, he could fly into the air with five kicks. Just look at "Dragon and Tiger Gate". Using his knees instead of legs, he could fly into the air with three kicks
Second place Infernal Affairs was released in 2002
With endless changes in rhythm, an unprecedented lineup, and unprecedented events, this is the best era.
Even the clone version of "The Departed" won an Oscar, so needless to say.
Everyone in China knows this.
The first Face/Off, released in 1997
John Woo, Nicolas Cage, John Travolta, three tough men in one scene, also What can be said? Raise your expectations to the highest level! Train your heart to be the strongest!
If you have a bad heart, it is recommended to prepare nitroglycerin, and it is best to prepare an ambulance.
Plastic surgery? Outdated. How about putting on the face of your enemy? What will you do when you look in the mirror every morning and see an enemy who wants to be crushed?
Darkness, weirdness, violent aesthetics, White Dove Temple, what is romance?
This is romance: let us die on the battlefield like men!
Rose? Candlelight dinner? The ecstasy between lovers? Please, this is not romance, this is just sentiment. Do you know what sentiment is?
It’s just flirting!
True romance must be tragedy, the fateful battle between men, the helplessness between brothers, the heart-wrenching feeling when Kangxi wanted to kill Wei Xiaobao, and Cage's smile and cry in front of his wife. .
