Yes, it's really hot.
Probably because, in this era, the feelings of Hong Kong movies have not been wiped out by those shoddy and shoddy movies. Old Hong Kong movies can be said to be pinned on the young age and childhood of many old movie fans.
In fact, on the Internet, there are not few people who have expressed emotion, why the old Hong Kong film of the year is also a pretty good film for now.
But why is the current Hong Kong Island movie so bad?
At this time, "Dark War" turned out.
In fact, as early as the preparatory period of "Dark War" propaganda, many people focused on this film.
Without him, whether old Hong Kong movies and Hong Kong movies can really revive, many people are actually not optimistic about it. After all, the times are different.
But in the same way, many people still hope that even if Hong Kong movies cannot be revived, at least not to let those good impressions of Hong Kong movies be worn away.
As a result, "Dark War" did not disappoint. On the contrary, this movie, it can be said that anyone can see the strong flavor of the old Hong Kong movie.
But at the same time, this is not a dog-tailed gangster, nor is it a shoddy Hong Kong Island police movie, but a sincere and typical Hong Kong Island police movie!
To paraphrase that ad slogan, this "Dark War" has made many fans of the old Hong Kong film era feel the original taste and the original formula.
Yes, "Dark War" has always been labeled as a Hong Kong movie!
Of course, publicity is also essential!
Perhaps it is because there are indeed very few Hong Kong films in this era, especially the police and criminal films, which are even more criticized.
Therefore, this time it is difficult to come up with such a splendid Hong Kong-style police and criminal film "Dark War", and countless Hong Kong Island stars took the initiative to rush and scream for it.
Many people were shocked after the box office came out on the first day of "Dark War".
138 million!
This number, perhaps for those super fierce films, is not too high.
But you must know that "Dark War" is a police movie. Many people might say that police movies have always been mainstream commercial movies.
This box office, compared with those blockbuster action movies, is just average, right?
But in fact, looking at so many commercial blockbusters, in fact, strictly speaking, they are not police and criminal films, but are more like spy films.
In fact, the box office ceiling of police films has not been too high.
For Hong Kong Island movies, 138 million on the first day of "Dark War" is definitely enough for Cao Meng to be proud.
More importantly, the reputation of "Dark War" is almost bursting.
The score of Audiovisual Network exceeds 9 points! Many people even scored 10 points directly!
As for the media and film critics, this time is also rare, almost all praised.
For Hong Kong Island movies, it can be said to be unprecedented. After all, in the past few years, no, it should be said that after the new century, Hong Kong Island movies, unless it is a literary movie or a commercial movie, which one is not sprayed by others. Cheng is the work of making money.
Oh, of course, this is not the case for all Hong Kong movies, but at least the vast majority!
After many Hong Kong filmmakers went north, they rarely made Hong Kong-style police and criminal films anymore, because they found that if you don't think about police and criminal films, it is really difficult for the audience to buy it.
The box office of "Dark Wars" on Hong Kong Island even burst directly, with a box office of 6.5 million on the first day, which was a pretty show.
For Hong Kong Islanders, "Dark War" is definitely a long-lost Hong Kong movie!
The sponsor of the Golden Image Awards, the film biweekly.
To this end, a special issue was launched.
The editor-in-chief of the film biweekly, Li Zhuoyong personally wrote a review for "Dark War".
"Romantic master showdown, romantic love, romantic Hong Kong Island police film "Dark War"!"
This is the title of Li Zhuoyong's comment on this film.
"The once brilliant Hong Kong Island movies, gangster movies, and gangster movies are topics that can never be thrown away. But in Hong Kong Island gangster movies, because of the historical reasons of Hong Kong Island and the special course of social development, Hong Kong Island's gangster movies have always been, They are all different from mainland police and criminal films. Hong Kong Island police and criminal films usually have a man-like romance, which may make people feel that the plot is not rigorous enough, but this is unique to Hong Kong Island police and criminal films.
"Dark War" reminds me of the famous "Peerless Two Heroes" on Hong Kong Island. The same is the soldier and the thief, and the same is the master of the game, but the ending of "The Peerless Two Heroes" is dead. Romance is a romance. The two of them are soldiers and a thief, but in the end they fought hand in hand. Even if they both died, they wrote a romance that belongs to a man!
"Dark War" has a strong taste of old Hong Kong movies, but the same "Dark War" is not the kind of old Hong Kong movie, it is also special.
As far as the subject matter is concerned, look at the name and cover to know that this is a typical Hong Kong Island police film. Cao Meng never deliberately creates tension, but the ups and downs of Cao-style gunfights are always invisible. The rhythm is fast and slow, as if it will never be under your control, and the plot is complicated and confusing, and it never seems to be what you think.
At the beginning of the whole story, there are no subtitles, no music, only clear footsteps, which makes people curious and flustered. Hua Tsai was told that there was only four weeks of life left, "I think this is the last time we met." "It's just this life." A simple sentence, full of helplessness, but extremely free and easy, only four weeks left. Life, instead of waiting peacefully for the final silence, it is better to have a glorious before sunset completely.
Hua Tsai wanted to avenge his father, so he designed a careful plan and cleverly let the police master He Shangsheng into the game. This is destined to be a duel of chess players. The two are equal opponents, and they are even harder friends in a thousand years. Wah Tsai’s first move was a sound that ordinary people couldn't see through. He deliberately kidnapped the manager of the financial company in a high-profile manner, attracted the police from the entire Kwun Tong district, attracted the attention of Sir He, and slyly escaped in front of everyone. Everyone thought this was a frenzied robber, only He Sir saw through his attempt, he was seeking his help in disguise.
How could He Shangsheng concede defeat easily in the face of a door-to-door challenge opponent. "You can bring me back to the police station, even if you win." Even though He Shangsheng was calm and astute, but his opponent was always better than others, he escaped the bait three times, and He Shangsheng couldn't swallow this breath. This is why he said to Hua Tsai in the cafe, "give you a minute to come up with a reason to persuade me to cooperate with you". Facing all kinds of temptations given by Hua Tsai, he was irritated by the sentence "You are like a police dog led by my tail". I would rather take a huge risk to let go of the besieged opponent and follow He continued to finish the game.
Some people may think that He Shangsheng cares about things. He is a policeman. How can he do this kind of "cooperation" and "negotiating terms" with the thief?
But it is precisely because of his willfulness that he has this "Dark War"!
