Andy Lau 's "Burning City" was released quietly during the "cold period" in November.

I thought that as a Hong Kong film, without overwhelming publicity, and released in a non-"big time" period, this drama would be a hit on the street, but I never thought: "Burning City" relies on its own strength to kill everyone. It broke through the siege, ranked second in the box office, and its reputation remains high.

The drama "Burning City" can be said to have advantages in every aspect: the conflicts are cleverly set up, the characters are full-bodied, full of feelings and questions.

Let’s talk about conflicts first.

The reason why "Burning City" is called "Burning City" is that after the leakage of radioactive elements, the opinions between the leaders of the authorities and experts deviated, resulting in the loss of the best rescue time, which led to a monstrous fire. of the present world.

This is where the "conflict" comes from: experts, officials and the uninformed populace.

Experts clearly stated the dangers, but a group of officials sitting in the office blowing the air conditioner didn't take it seriously. Forget it: they satirized the experts for making a fuss, while arranging for their families to escape. After the matter reached an irreversible point, the leaders again Retreat first.

When I saw these pictures, there was only one sentence in my mind: I was so brave to take pictures.

vividly interprets "a layman guiding an expert" and "blowing the air conditioner, wearing luxury clothes, smearing expensive lipstick, and shouting cheap slogans", which makes people's blood surge.

In the film and television industry, judging the quality of a drama depends on whether it can resonate with the audience.

"Burning City" not only achieves this, but also does it very well. Driven by a reasonable, smooth and exciting plot, the audience's emotions can't help but follow the direction of the play, swinging between tension, excitement and anger. indefinite.

There are not many works that can immerse the audience in emotions throughout the whole process. "Burning City" did it, and it was successful.

In addition to the conflict, the second major feature of "Burning City" is also the key to making this drama outstanding, and the key to giving this drama a strong emotional driving force: full of characters.

Strictly speaking, there is no "absolute villain" in "Burning City", only people with different positions.

Andy Lau plays the expert Fan Weili. He is unruly, has a brilliant personality, and has an inexplicable feeling of "becoming a teacher" to the younger generation. He is arrogant and takes the lives of ordinary people as his destiny. However, Fan Weili has always regarded "citizens' lives" as his core idea. , it was brilliant, and in the end, in order for the main culprit Gao Peide to be punished as he should be, Fan Weili chose to take the blame, take all the blame from the authorities on himself, and die together with Gao Peide.

Andy Lau's Fan Weili really satisfies ordinary people's fantasy of a "professor expert" who is an intellectual: idealistic, arrogant and unruly, yet considerate of the people and loves to preach.

Andy Lau really performed the essence of "Professor Kochi". Andy Lau is not young anymore. He is 63 years old this year. He can really try more similar roles in the future. It is very appropriate, not obtrusive, and has a sense of empathy.

Opposite Andy Lau is Karen Mok ’s cecilia.

Mok Wenwei also performed the essence of this role: domineering, handsome, and sincere in his words. While satirizing Professor Fan Weili's idea of ​​making a big deal out of trivial matters, he stayed away from the core area of ​​the disaster. In addition to sitting in the office giving orders, he also sat in the office blowing the air conditioner, and also loved to fight. The official tone makes people angry and annoyed, and they want to put the leader Cecilia in a sack and beat him up.

Karen Mok is really awesome at being able to shape the character's image like this, completely subverting the world's perception of her.

The team of firefighters directly sublimated this drama: knowing that there are tigers in the mountains, they prefer to travel to the tiger mountains, doing dangerous and great things with low wages. In the face of fire, even though they know that they may never return, they never look back. .

Personal feeling: The greatness of "Burning City" is that the three firefighters, in order to connect the detonator, chose to give up the best escape time and stay underground to continue repairs. When watching the movie, I thought that the last three firefighters would emerge from the dense Walking out of the strong fire, shining with the glory of a hero.

What is disappointing and surprising is this: the three firefighters failed to walk out of the sea of ​​​​fire with heroic glory. The ending of

makes people feel a little distressed, but at the same time it feels very real: This is the job of firefighters, this is firefighters, doing the most dangerous work in peacetime.

The image of each character in "Burning City" will not make people feel out of place, and they all conform to the public's "stereotype", Andy Lau's "expert", Karen Mok's leader, Bai Yu's firefighter captain, etc. , as well as supporting roles such as Zheng Zeshi , each of them presented the essence of their role.

It is not easy to make a character have a full image. All the members of "Burning City" have full images. This advantage alone is enough to give this drama a lot of points.

The artistry of "Burning City" is directly impressed by the portrayals of major veteran and powerful actors. "Burning City" allows people to see what "movies are the seventh art".

In addition, this drama also makes people see the huge harm of "foreign garbage", a familiar thing that the world does not understand.

For this achievement alone, "Burning City" is enough.
