Chow Yun-fat, the big brother of Hong Kong films in the 1980s and 1990s, has starred in countless classic films. In that era, Chow Yun-fat was a symbol, but many things in the world have highs and lows? This is how Hong Kong movies are. Case. From the 1980s to the mid-1990s was the glorious period of Hong Kong movies. At the end of the 1990s, Hong Kong movies began to decline. Chow Yun-fat also starred in his last Hong Kong movie in 1995, which is the "Peace restaurant". The editor of
talked about Fa Ge’s movie, not because of how classic it is, but also because this drama has too much meaning for Fa Ge, this drama is not considered to be a fight in plot and action. It's superb, and many people feel a little boring when watching it, so this film did not receive any ideal results back then, and it can even be described as a fiasco. The movie
mainly talks about the fact that Aping, played by Fa Ge, built his own place called "Peace Hotel". Anyone can come to this place. It is like a piece of pure land. No matter how much grievances and grievances there are outside. , No longer exists here, no one can go to the Peace Hotel to seek revenge, but Aping also abides by the rules set by Jianghu that as long as someone leaves the Peace Hotel, Aping can no longer protect these people.
Aping’s Peace Hotel continued in the rivers and lakes until the appearance of Aman, played by Ye Tong. Oman's gestures are very similar to Aping's previous wife. During a period of time, Aping fell in love with Oman. But Oman is nothing but a pawn for others to lure Aping into being deceived. Everything he does is to make Aping break his own rules of the arena, so that he can justify the eradication of the Peace Hotel and Aping. This person who wanted to get rid of Aping was the child of the enemy who was slaughtered by Aping that year. Not only did Aping, who was dazzled by love, help Aman escape from the Peace Hotel, of course, this also broke his own rules of the world. , Which eventually provokes the disaster...
I think this movie is more to expose the darkness of human nature. When these people are protected by Aping, they are respectful to Aping, I believe Aping can take Give them the safety and life they want, but when a disaster is approaching, the old kindness is gone, and even accuses and abuses Aping. All of them wanted to leave the Peace Hotel, which had wanted to stay for a lifetime. What is even more ironic is that it was Oman who was willing to return to the Peace Hotel in the end, because Oman finally understood that Aping was really good to him and was willing to take care of himself with his life, just like Oman in the end. The line "Thank you for killing me last time, so that I can see who is unlucky and who is the real man."
When I watched this movie when I was young, I felt that it was not good. When I grew up, I realized that it was because I didn’t understand what Fa Ge wanted to express. This movie can actually be understood as Fa Ge’s farewell to the entire Hong Kong film. But this farewell is mixed with bitterness and anger. This has to start from that era. Chow Yun-fat was a hot star in Hong Kong at that time. There were many big directors who wanted to cooperate with him. Since the 1990s, Hong Kong films began to decline slowly, mainly because they had no bottom line. There is no principle and direction in the pursuit of the film, and it is full of money and rights. This is contrary to Chow Yun-fat's film view, so Fa Ge decided to leave Hong Kong and go to the United States. But at that time, Hong Kong couldn’t live without Zhou Yunfa. Many people with rights were trying their best to keep Faha. They thought that they kept the prosperous Hong Kong movies, and more blatantly, they kept themselves. A bargaining chip to make money. But these people were wrong. Fa Ge's journey over the years has already gone through all kinds of storms, and even if he faces opposition or even threats from many people, it is impossible to shake the heart of a hero. Just like in the movie, Ah Ping's pursuit of his enemies and betrayal of his friends still does not change his beliefs. Everyone knows the final story of
. Fa Ge left Hong Kong and went to Hollywood to continue his development. Although he did not succeed in the United States, Fa Ge’s determination and courage back then are still worth learning. Of course, with the departure of Fa Ge, Hong Kong movies are gradually declining. If filmmakers have no pursuit of the soul of the film, when there is only money in their eyes, I think the film years of any era will gradually wither. We need actors like Zhou Yunfa , More up-and-coming stars like Fage are needed, dare to stick to themselves and dare to pursue the future.
