"Breaking Police" is the first time Wu Zhenyu has been nominated for the Best Actor Award at the Hong Kong Film Awards. At the awards ceremony that year, five actor candidates Zeng Zhiwei, Wu Zhenyu, Andy Lau, Huang Qiusheng and Liu Qingyun sat neatly in a row, but all Everyone knows that this time the actor trophy is none other than Andy Lau. So when Andy Lau finally picked up the actor's trophy, Wu Zhenyu also gave a big hug. Wu Zhenyu knows that Andy Lau in "Unstoppable" is unstoppable, and he also knows that his "Burst Criminal" is not bad. It's just that he doesn't know that he lost to this man again 4 years later, and he doesn't know why people still remember "Dark War" 20 years later, but forget "Burst Criminal".
Theme: A movie that explores the new direction of police and gangster films
"Burst Police" is a movie that explores the warmth of human nature through the fight between gangsters and gangsters. The detective Mike, played by Wu Zhenyu in the movie, is a hot-tempered but he is very good at people around him. A caring person inadvertently discovered that he was suffering from a genetic disease of muscle wasting during a mission, and would soon become a vegetative, so in his last action, he took the risk and cooperated with the robbers to embezzle a sum of money. , Used to support a single mother who needs money. The warmth of human nature incorporated in the film's pure police and robber dispute, but this kind of human warmth blurs the boundary between black and white. For Mike, 90% of his time was police work, but he became an accomplice of robbers in the last 10% of the time. The gray between black and white has always been the focus of police and criminal films seeking a breakthrough, and "Breaking Criminal" explores the secrets of the gray area from the perspective of human nature: what should be done and what should not be done, perhaps before death Only at that moment can we see clearly what is real gray.
Characters: Wu Zhenyu who does not lose Andy Lau
Wu Zhenyu in "Burst Criminal" and Andy Lau in "Dark War" have a lot in common: they can't escape the fate of death; they both made a big vote at the last moment of life. ; Both unexpectedly met subtle love on the side of the road... But the biggest difference between the two lies in Wu Zhenyu’s "warm" and Andy Lau's "cold": the "cold" in "Dark War" highlights Andy Lau's wisdom , Calm and calm; and the "warm" in "Breaking Criminal" portrays Wu Zhenyu's gentleness, kindness and persistence. "Breaking Police" is a movie that can give people warmth, but this warmth is based on Wu Zhenyu's cruelty to himself. In the movie, Wu Zhenyu is indifferent to himself, but he is meticulous to the people around him. Whether it is Koo Tianle who is idle, Roland who is demented, or Lin Meizhen who is single-parent and helpless, Wu Zhenyu bears all the responsibility of caring for them on his own body, and creates a contrast between being cruel to himself and being good to others. A classic character with cold outside and hot inside. This is in sharp contrast to Andy Lau's hot outside and cold inside in "Dark War". The two have the same fate but completely different experience process. It is difficult to judge who is above whom from the acting alone.
Love: not only a kind of romance, but also a kind of demand
The description of love in "Burst Criminal" is very subtle. Wu Zhenyu strayed into a dry cleaner while approaching the suspect, and was accidentally by the innocence of the owner Lin Meizhen Touched by Kindness, after learning that Lin Meizhen is a single mother who is pregnant, Wu Zhenyu has the idea of taking care of the mother and the child. But at this moment, Wu Zhenyu discovered that he was ill and was unable to take care of their mother and son, so he had the scene where he later cooperated with the robbers to divide money. This love meeting not only promotes the development of the story, but also enriches Wu Zhenyu's character image. This is the only place where he wants life in addition to catching thieves. His love for Lin Meizhen allows us to see not romance, but a real need. No matter how strong a person is in life, there is a desire for love. This kind of simple and true love makes Wu Zhenyu and Lin Meizhen affect even if they do not say a word of confession.In the hearts of the audience.
Friendship: You are here, so I rely on; you go, so I am mature
If "Burst Police" is all about Wu Zhenyu's story, it will inevitably look a bit monotonous. Gu Tianle is another very important role in the movie. He plays the role of Wu Zhenyu's attendant, but he is idle all day long. Wu Zhenyu is more tolerant and caring for him. But after Wu Zhenyu finally sacrificed for him and Lin Meizhen, Gu Tianle slowly woke up and matured. The last few minutes of the movie are full of Gu Tianle's plays. He slowly matures and grows up in the memory of Wu Zhenyu, and becomes another Wu Zhenyu himself. His growth reflects Wu Zhenyu's influence on him. Sometimes the friendship between men is like this. Because you are here, I am used to relying on it. One day I find that you are no longer there and I will mature actively. The feelings between Gu Tianle and Wu Zhenyu in the movie are like brothers and fathers and sons, and they still have this feeling until 19 years later in "Skinning Dad".
Regardless of the storyline, the suspense setting or the characterization, "Breaking Police" is a well-intentioned and excellent work, but I have no choice but to encounter the prosperous Andy Lau and "Dark War". But the real regret of "Burst Criminal" is not that Wu Zhenyu missed the film king, but that such a good movie failed to get real attention. Nowadays, any kind of film can be released and sold, but people have forgotten this "Burst Criminal" hiding in the corner.
