Some people shouted "Hong Kong film will never die!" after watching this movie.
It seems that the glorious days of Hong Kong film in the past have returned.
The passion of the world, the aesthetics of violence, punches to the flesh, fierce confrontations, it has been a long time since I have experienced such a hearty experience in the cinema.
The best movie on May 1st is undoubtedly "The Siege of Kowloon Walled City " directed by Cheng Baorui.
has gathered big-name Hong Kong stars and Chinese actors such as Louis Koo, Sammo Hung, Simon Yam, , Raymond Lam, , Liu Junqian, Aaron Kwok, and other famous actors.
Chen Luojun, played by Raymond Lam, sneaks into Hong Kong and tries to earn money to buy an identity card. However, he falls into a trap of the underworld and is hunted down.
In order to avoid pursuit, Chen Luojun accidentally broke into the Kowloon Walled City. After a fight, he was beaten and almost fractured.
The Kowloon Walled City is a lawless place. The Hong Kong government does not care, and the mainland has no military garrison. It is a mixed place where many refugees, stowaways, and criminals hide here.
The environment here is dirty, dark, crowded, and cramped, with layers of illegal construction, tangled cables, and densely packed buildings. Outside your balcony is someone else’s roof, and the entire city is piled up in a strange pattern. , the streets are extremely narrow, and you can only see a narrow strip of sky when you look up.
The injured Chen Luojun could only curl up on the eaves and rest for the time being. Someone held up a wooden pole in the window and handed him some food and drinks.
Someone pointed him to the tornado for help. Chen Luojun was protected by the tornado and temporarily stayed in Kowloon Walled City, working several jobs a day to make money.
In a dirty slum like the Kowloon Walled City, smuggling, drug trafficking, and all kinds of crimes thrive, but it is a place like this that makes Chen Luojun feel like home.
People are like the indomitable grasshoppers, taking root here and struggling to survive.
In this place at the bottom of society, there is a strong sense of humanity. Here, you help others and others help you.
The little girl's mother was killed by a guest. Chen Luojun, Xinyi, Sizi and Twelve Young Masters all put on masks to teach the perpetrator a lesson.
The friendship between the four young people quickly heated up in this consensus of punishing evil and promoting good. Chen Jialuo was willing to lose the money he earned from working hard to his brothers.
Just when Chen Luojun developed a sense of belonging to Kowloon Walled City, the grievances of the previous generation fell on him.
Some people want to kill him, some want to protect him, and some are eyeing the fat piece of Kowloon Walled City.
Different forces broke out in a flesh-and-blood collision in this cramped space.
Jianghu morality, grudges and vendettas.
Some people are seeking revenge, while others are seeking martyrdom.
Some people kill people for profit, while others sacrifice their lives to save others.
After ten years of drinking ice, it is difficult to cool the hot blood.
The martial arts spirit of the older generation has passed away, and the younger generation has no time to mourn. Let’s fight, their blood is still boiling.
In such a crowded Kowloon Walled City, a tornado can still fly its kite high in the gap in the sky, relying on the existence of internal swirling airflow.
The kite landed and the tornado died.
The image of a kite appears many times in the film and is of profound meaning.
When Chen Luojun came back for revenge, the first thing he did was fly a kite.
It turns out that in the Kowloon Walled City, tornadoes really exist, not only the guardians themselves, but also a concrete existence.
Chen Luojun clearly had no way to save himself, but a tornado arose. He was able to grab the curtain and ride the wind, turning the situation around in one fell swoop.
The realistic martial arts style of punching the flesh and the romantic and passionate comic style are mixed together to create the unique temperament of this Hong Kong film.
This crime action film, in addition to elements such as gangsters and crime, also has a strong martial arts and martial arts style.
Tornado is a "hero"-like existence.
He is gentle and humble, hiding in the ordinary market, working in a barber shop, and seriously cutting hair for people.
The family is short-term, and human life is at stake. He takes care of everything, big or small.
If you encounter difficulties and are desperate, go find Tornado and he will help you.
Tornado practices a "chivalrous" spirit in his life.
The valuable thing about this film is that it not only describes the grudges, but also details the daily life of people living in the slums.
In such a congested and dirty environment, they worked hard, struggled to survive, and lived tenaciously. In the dark corners where evil breeds, they can still maintain a strong sense of humanity.
Chen Luojun was wandering around. Why did he feel like a monk in such a dirty and messy place? It was precisely because of the people here. Human warmth is the reason why people's hearts grow attached.
The gang boss and Wang Jiu broke in and asked one by one, but no one disclosed the information about Chen Luojun. Not only Tornado, Shinichi and others are risking their lives to save him, but these ordinary neighbors are all protecting Chen Luojun.
This is why Chen Luojun can call this place his home.
At the end of the video, the four people stood on the eaves, looking at the glittering Victoria Harbor in the distance.
This place will soon be demolished. The Kowloon Walled City will no longer exist and will only become a symbol in the historical archives.
The mark of an era will be erased.
Believe it or not, some things never change.
Yes, I believe it too.
There are always some things that never change.
