Nick Cheung has recently released several movies in theaters, but due to time constraints, I only watched one in the theater, and that was the movie " rage " mentioned before.
As for another movie " Breaking Point ", I had to wait until the video website was online before I had the opportunity to see its true appearance.
After watching this blockbuster film "Breaking Point" starring Nick Cheung and William Chan , I really felt a lot of emotions, so I wrote this article to talk about some of my true feelings about this movie.
An unconventional police film!
If this movie "Breaking Point" is regarded as a traditional Hong Kong police movie, it may make sense.
After all, the elements involved in the film are very simple.
is the traditional fight between Hong Kong anti-gang police and drug dealers.
plus undercover elements, explosions, speeding cars and other elements, this movie has taken shape.
But is the movie "Breaking Point" really just a traditional Hong Kong-style police film?
Director Lin Chaoxian has put so much effort into it, but he just wants to make a fool of himself?
Actually no, director Lin Chaoxian actually presented a "non-traditional police film" in this movie.
Or to put it bluntly, this movie is not a police movie.
is a movie for adults.
Why do I say this? In fact, it is enough to understand a few characters in the film.
Let’s talk about Police Officer Bang played by Nick Cheung first. It looks beautiful, but in fact, his life is a piece of cake.
Let’s talk about family relationships first. He divorced his wife, but his son was still useless. In a bar fight, he severely injured the gangster’s son.
Let’s talk about workplace relationships. It seems that Officer Bang is highly regarded, but in fact, he also has his own difficulties.
The boss always only gives orders, as long as the results are achieved, and never considers his difficulties.
's subordinates also have their own problems that need to be dealt with by him. The most difficult thing is that he doesn't know how to deal with the relationship with the undercover.
Let’s turn to Officer Jiang Ming, played by William Chan. He also has his own problems in life. He changed his career and became a police officer because of lack of money. After becoming a police officer, he was ostracized by his colleagues and no group wanted him.
finally got an opportunity to be an undercover agent. He originally thought that he would get the opportunity if he solved a major case.
can still imagine that the situation happened frequently, and in the end he became a wanted person.
Even the drug dealer in the film has his own "midlife crisis."
Poison maker Axiu, her husband died, living alone with her daughter and younger brother.
Who would have thought that after coming to Hong Kong, her daughter was deceived and asked to bring five million to redeem her. The same is true for
and Han Yang.
Almost everyone in the camera has their own explosive point, and everyone is entangled by countless things.
Everyone is looking for a breaking point, and everyone is struggling desperately.
This is the most advanced point of Lin Chaoxian's movie.
depicts the "exploding points" of each character in the film, and then pierces and detonates them one by one as the plot progresses. This process is absolutely explosive.
Especially director Lam Chiu-yin really exploded when he triggered the breaking point of "Police Officer Bang" played by Nick Cheung.
When police officer Bang Bang led a team to monitor drug dealers, who would have thought that his son was caught by the gang. In order to save his son, he had to come out temporarily.
But it was this temporary incident that caused several of his police officers to be injured or even killed.
And this is just the beginning. In order to really detonate the "breaking point" of this character, director Lin Chaoxian also arranged a scene where a fire burns the son of police officer Bang.
At the last moment, he witnessed his son being burned to death, his men being killed, and the mission failing.
All the pressure of life and career made him collapse in an instant.
And after the collapse, his anger and dissatisfaction are the most powerful aspects of this movie.
Of course, in addition to Nick Cheung's "breaking point", the character Jiang Ming played by William Chan is detonated little by little and the process of being driven crazy little by little is also very oppressive.
Of course, what shocked Jiang Ming the most was Azu holding a knife against his daughter, forcing Jiang Ming to put down his weapon.
When Jiang Ming shouted that she is your daughter!
But Azu still didn’t let go and stabbed the little girl. This shot of
really drove Jiang Ming completely crazy.
Later on, when he was forced to inhale drugs and completely lost his mind, his madness and random shooting made people sigh that what Director Lin Chaoxian wanted to express in this movie was indeed too rich.
All people are ordinary people, and all people are facing crises of one kind or another.
And when this crisis really exploded and became the breaking point, it became the ending of this movie.
All living beings suffer, and things are impermanent. This is the theme that Lin Chaoxian wants to express in this movie!
