There was silence in the theater, and then there was a roar of applause!
Cao Meng breathed a sigh of relief and brought the creative staff to the stage to call the curtain.
The applause continued for a long time.
It can be seen that the audience is satisfied with this movie!
Including Liu Yu and other old film critics who are very fond of Laogang films.
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 scribbled!
But for some movies, if you don't give him a red envelope, they are willing to write it, and they can't wait to write it!
This "Dark War" is obviously like this.
After Liu Yu returned to the hotel, he sat in front of the computer and began to write film reviews.
"The pinnacle of Hong Kong police and criminal films!"
"I don't know when it started. We all think that the era of Hong Kong movies has passed, and Hong Kong movies are dead. This is what I called out!
Once, speaking of the golden age of movies on Hong Kong Island, what we must not miss is the gangster movie!
During the rapid rise of the mainland film market, when the top movies exceeded 1 billion, 2 billion, and 3 billion, what is left of the once-popular Hong Kong Island movies?
"Eight Stars Annunciation" and "Nine Stars Annunciation", the sequels of all kinds of dog tails, all kinds of insincerity!
At that time, as a film critic of the old Hong Kong Island, I was angry, I was angry, and I was mourning my misfortune!
I used to think that Hong Kong movies might really not adapt to the development of the times? Does the audience really dislike watching stories that happened on Hong Kong Island?
There used to be many old Hong Kong film directors, under the banner of Fuxing Hong Kong films, but they ended up selling dog meat again and again, smashing the signboard of Hong Kong film again and again!
In fact, when Director Cao Meng said he wanted to make a real Hong Kong Island police film, my first reaction was, come again?
Why use it again? Because I hear too much of this!
What is left of the Hong Kong Island movie? Feelings? No, even that little feeling has been defeated by those insincere rudeness!
Until last night, I was very fortunate that although I didn't believe it in my heart, my body was still very honest, probably because I couldn't let go of my attachment to Hong Kong movies.
So I saw "Dark War"!
The beginning of the film made me feel it, maybe this time it is true!
He Shangsheng, a Hong Kong Island policeman, was transferred from the Flying Tigers to a civilian position. His desire to return to the Flying Tigers proved his unwillingness to be ordinary!
On him, I saw it and smelled a strong smell of Hong Kong Island police.
He is the same as the male protagonist in many police and criminal films in Laogang. He is a good detective and has super professional ability. He can force the black police to commit suicide in a few words, but he also has shortcomings.
He doesn't seem to know how to get along with people, and he wants to manage everything. In fact, it is precisely these that make me feel that it has an inner taste!
Huang Qifa is another boss of the protagonist of the old port film in the traditional sense!
It is enough to have one dry detective, and Huang Sir only needs to be responsible for making fun.
And the facts are also true, he has always been responsible for funny!
From the plot of the movie. Crimes, wits, police and gangsters, movies with these elements as the main elements, usually put forward extremely high requirements for the weaving of the plot.
How can the scene where Hua Tsai throws away the red toilet paper and is blown away by the wind? Another example is the dialogue between the doctor and Hua Zai: "I don't think we will meet again", "This life is only."
That kind of free and easy, is it very familiar?
Hong Kong Island police films, in many movies, you will find that many characters, they are so free and easy to death, perhaps this is also a unique feature of Hong Kong Island movies?
In addition to the character's chic and open-mindedness in the face of death, the strong social spirit permeated in the opposition between the pros and the cons, and the sympathy between enemies and friends, allowing people to temporarily leave the conflict between good and evil. , And devoting ourselves to the appreciation of the purity and beauty of human nature, only when we abandon our own position and imagine the communication under the state of no social identity, can we feel the de-identification chivalrous spirit in the real world.
Of course, there is love. Some people say that the love in the film is fortunate to end. But I think the opposite is true. Because this love that lifts weight and lightly focuses on portraying the most beautiful part of love: encounters and heartbeats. As for ambiguity, holding hands, and passionate love, none exist. In the hearts of men and women, the other side is still mysterious and beautiful, but the tragic beauty of death without disease further defines this relationship as a lyric poem. Such encounters can be called accidents in accidents, so we believe that such heartbeats are pure in purity.
Finally, there is a high level of wit.
For police movies, what I usually expect is the reversal of the plot and the unexpected truth. If there is more reasonable logic, it would be even better.
But "Dark War" not only satisfies all of this, but also gave me a divine revelation, like a light tragedy, paying tribute to all the possessions in life that will eventually pass away.
The lightness of escaping from the gravity of reality runs through the film, which is particularly fascinating. The worries about the heart-pounded person, the respect for the opponents who meet each other, these emotions that should be full of ritual sense, are all hidden in the ordinary day at the end of the film, in an ordinary bus, in a gossip and homely conversation.
This is the Hong Kong Island police movie we are familiar with!
"Dark War" is a sincere work, a memorable old port police film!
Thanks to Wang Yifan and Cao Meng for allowing me to revisit such a Hong Kong-style police movie after many years! "
After writing this comment, Liu Yu smiled and posted this comment separately.
Similarly, there are many unpleasant film critics like Liu Yu.
Hong Kong films may indeed be in decline, but no one can deny the status that Hong Kong films have in Chinese films, or the status they once had.
For this reason, many media have also given quite good reviews!
"This is a story that happened within 72 hours. This is the energy of the last four weeks of a life. It is revenge, the police and the gangster. There are tricks that match each other's opponents, and there are regrets that love failed.
He Shangsheng and Hua Zai's tricks, every time you go to the police station, you win.
A total of three moves, the first time was disintegrated due to the desperation brought about by tension; the second time was disintegrated by the desperation brought about by desperation; the third time ended with a complete insight into the opponent's psychology.
For the last time, He Shangsheng turned and left, not because of fear, but because of sympathy? Could not bear? This kind of game meets opponents, meets late and sympathizes with each other.
The love between Hua Tsai and Liang Wanting ended before it even started.
It was the same three times, the first time I was nervous and afraid of relying on it; the second time I misunderstood a misunderstanding, but sentiment sprouts; the third time "I run out of time" ended hastily. 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 ago ended, but never ended.
Four weeks, 72 hours, a match against each other, and an unsuccessful love, there is no regret in this life. "Times Entertainment!
