The first "Shinjuku Incident"
rating: 7.6
Starring: Jackie Chan, Daniel Wu
Movie review: This is a good movie, very exciting, not only action, but also life. The movie is still very objective and does not deliberately glorify anything, because it tells the story of Japanese gangsters and Chinese people who smuggled themselves to Japan to become gangsters in the 1990s. As mentioned in the film, the most primitive desire of human beings is for food and clothing, but later they become more and more greedy, and even become blinded by desire, which is enough to gain resonance and recognition. Additionally, the setting and story throughout the film are very solid and very well done. The film is briskly paced and gripping. The cinematography, sometimes beautiful and sometimes crude, shows off Tokyo as a whole. It's fun to see a lot of Japanese and Chinese spoken in this movie and really pulls you into the deeper layers of the movie.
The second part "Homicide"
rating: 7.2
Starring: Lam Jiadong, Yang Lewen
Movie review: It is still the same fatalistic style of Galaxy, but the final ending is not so dark. This title can be understood as being about arresting criminals and solving crimes, and it seems that it can also be understood as about changing lives and fortunes. Moreover, the acting skills of all the actors are top-notch, and Dongguan Zai also showed off the drama of split personality, or ghost possession. The film incorporates a lot of the metaphysics of Feng Shui and Numerology, which is quite new for laymen. It seems that Uncle Ying's previous movies also had these scenes. The scene at the beginning about being buried alive and changing one's life is very eye-catching. I originally thought that the protagonist was completely destroyed, but I didn't expect that he seemed to have succeeded in changing his fate. I wonder if the young lady who loves gambling was saved in the end. In the bombardment of blockbusters throughout the year, there is something different. The only regret is that it was not able to be released in mainland China, which is a pity!
The third film "On Blood in Search of Plum Blossoms"
Rating: 7.5
Starring: Aaron Kwok, Spring and Summer
Movie review: It is very similar to "Corridor of Justice", but the narrative perspective is different. They are all confirmed cases and adapted from real cases. The whole film is exquisitely designed + the narrative is smooth without losing skill, the layers + are rich in metaphors, all the actors have the right temperament + the performance is just right. I really like the story of multiple characters. You are among me, and you are among me. The answer lies in this network. It's self-evident in the structure. The overall effect is very shocking. While the viewers are heartbroken, they can once again take a cautious and detailed look at the human world shaped by social structure. It is a very good interpretation of the abstract entity of human nature and society from the perspective of the story, as well as the two Intricate interaction between actors. It is definitely a film worthy of being recorded in film history.
The fourth part of "A Big Tree Calls the Wind"
Rating: 8.1
Starring: Ren Xianqi, Lam Jiadong
Movie review: Compared with "Threesome", although there are fewer artificial fables, "A Big Tree Calls the Wind" has a stronger story and a smoother narrative. , more like a movie. Galaxy's gangsters are all forgivable, making Galaxy unique among Chinese gangster movies. In addition to the acting skills of the actors and the remarkable development of the plot, what impressed me most was that the foreshadowing before the final reveal of the movie was that the three people met in a restaurant and looked at each other in confusion, but did not recognize each other. What a ridiculous fate. Perhaps the outcome is already decided at this time. The whole movie is like a tragic and ridiculous doomsday carnival, because no one knows where their own destiny will go after 1997, and where the fate of Hong Kong will go.
The fifth "Wisdom Teeth"
rating: 7.2
Starring: Lam Jiadong, Liu Yase
Video comments: A great film. On the edge of the city in black and white, the garbage discarded by people and the people discarded by society, the constant pain like wisdom teeth. I am not a reader. When watching any work, I will be close to the creator's thinking. Some people will think that the so-called logic is not perfect and some links are nonsense (for example, the police officer was beaten to death at the end). But after sinking into the film, what I sympathized with was the despair and struggle of the characters. Some people say that in the end it was the liberation of Wang Tao and Officer Zhan, the same as the loss of wisdom teeth. But personally, I felt that it was the brokenness and irreparability after despair and struggle. In addition, the black and white style of the entire film is also unique. This is where Hong Kong culture is nurtured.
