Fires are rising into the sky, radiation is spreading, and 7 million Hong Kong people are at risk!
After watching "Burning City", I was surprised.
Hong Kong movies have entered the next level!
What surprises me is not that "Burning City" has a box office of 20 million in just one screening.
has a total box office of 86.89 million in the three days since its release, and the final prediction given by the media is 217 million, which is much higher than the topical work next door "Qiao Yan's Mind".
What surprised me was not word of mouth.
As a Hong Kong movie and a commercial disaster film, "Burning City" has a surprisingly good reputation. The home page of
almost always has 4 or 5 star reviews, and some viewers have regained confidence in Hong Kong films after watching it.
What surprised me was not the lineup.
starring Andy Lau, + Bai Yu, 's novel combination, the two places collided.
And the supporting roles can be called a great integration of childhood memories -
Karen Mok , Xie Junhao , Lin Baoyi , Zhou Wenjian, Zheng Zeshi, Wang Minde, Jiang David, Zhang Daming...
All the old faces in the memory appear, it is simply... This feeling of seeing the Hong Kong Avengers makes people burst into tears.
What surprised me was that this movie gave me a feeling that I had not experienced in Hong Kong movies for a long time:
solid script, smooth narrative, and no peeing spots throughout the 136 minutes.
The refreshing feeling brought by this 24k purely commercial film actually made me extremely excited in the afternoon when I was falling asleep. I squeezed the armrest tightly to watch the entire movie.
smells like this!
is cool!
- "Burning City"
The film's reputation has already been fermented during the screening period. Many people in the industry and media couldn't help but give a thumbs up after watching the film in advance, saying that this is one of the few films in recent years. A Hong Kong film with such maturity.
and even Zhang Yimou came out and said that "Burning City" has filled the genre of Hong Kong movies.
Of course, no one believes in this kind of business bragging, and I don’t believe it either.
But after watching this movie for the first time, I must say it with my chest.
This movie is definitely worth the money.
is one word, cool! The director of the
film, Poon Yaoming, is a photographer. Classic Hong Kong films such as " New Police Story ", " Overheard " and "Baby Project" are all shot through his lens.
This is his first time to challenge a disaster movie, and the boss of Anle Pictures, Jiang Zhiqiang, known as the "Chinese Film Bole", expressed his boldness to do it -
"To gain a reputation for Hong Kong movies!"
The script of the movie 100 %Original.
originated from Jiang Zhiqiang's idea after seeing a report on "toxic electronic waste transshipment" in 2016. What would happen if Hong Kong encountered such an incident?
The processing cost of each ton of electronic waste is 700 US dollars, but they only charge 25 US dollars to hand it over to the black market. But they don’t care about environmental pollution at all. Disasters may happen at any time...
In order to awaken people’s attention to this matter, Jiang Zhiqiang immediately After organizing the project, unexpectedly, a masterpiece was produced.
As it turns out, they did.
The photographer's presentation of disaster scenes is unique, and what is more subtle is the passionate expression hidden in the character settings.
is not just a disaster movie.
The movie is very fast-paced. The disaster happened within 15 minutes of the opening.
An explosion occurred at the garbage dump at Queen's Hill in Fanling, Hong Kong, causing a fire. Firefighter "Li Kit Feng" (played by Bai Yu) responded immediately and led his teammates to put out the fire.
thought it was just a small scene, but unexpectedly it contained a secret.
A big explosion occurred just at the beginning of the fire-fighting work. Not only were there serious casualties, but the radioactive element radium 226 was also found at the fire scene.
If there is radiation, it is not a simple fire, so the government immediately called in the environmental protection expert " Fan Weili " (played by Andy Lau) to enter.
Here Li Jiefeng is fighting for his life in the fire scene. After the big explosion, two team members were lost, and their lives are uncertain.
Over there, Fan Weili negotiated with the politicians again. Some people abandoned their cars to protect the commander-in-chief, and some just wanted to settle the matter, but Fan Weili could only use his status as an outsider to try to wake them up -
Stop being a bureaucrat! Help people quickly!
While the fire is spreading, the tropical storm is about to land, followed by strong winds and rain.
If the radioactive source is not found, it will penetrate deep into Hong Kong's groundwater system with rainwater, and the consequences will be disastrous.
The movie is divided into two story lines.
One is Bai Yu's disaster action at the fire scene, and the other is Fan Weili's political thriller. The two lines complement each other, restrain and influence each other, and the rhythm is very tight.
As the fire situation broke out, another desperate message came -
There was not only one radioactive source in the fire scene. In addition to radium 226, there was also the more powerful cesium 137.
It is more radioactive than radium, can be dissolved in water, and has a lower ignition point. It can cause explosive spread whether it encounters fire or water. Once
gets out of control, half of Hong Kong will suffer.
A real leak occurred in Goiania, Brazil.
9 grams of cesium-137 led to the rescue of 249 people, 18000 many people's bodies were exposed to radiation, and it has been difficult to eliminate the radiation for nearly a hundred years.Fire-proof clothing is not radiation-proof, and radiation-proof clothing is not fire-proof.
The task of the protagonists is to go through the fire field to find the radioactive source and take out a silver needle in the boiling water.
Fire, radiation, coming storm.
Triple disaster, triple dilemma, the degree of disaster in the movie is directly off the charts.
Both terrain and time are limited. More than half of the entire movie is a heart-wrenching action scene, which continues until the end of the movie.
From the thrilling rescue of firefighters in the fire scene, to the big scenes of plane crashes, fire tornadoes, container explosions, and the heart-wrenching emotions caused by disasters...
After the movie started, the entire cinema was filled with flames and smoke. There's even a flaming rat in the corner, which adds to the immersion.
The content of action scenes is also very large.
director Pan Yaoming was very surprised at how he presented the disaster scene. The first big explosion shocked me. The editing logic of the
explosion is very immersive, from the fire of the initial explosion, the interaction of objects, the characters being knocked away, to the flying rocks across the sky, falling like meteorites, surrounding the characters.
It feels like you are witnessing the explosion at the center.
It's immersive on the big screen, both editing and post-processing are great points, and it doesn't even feel like a "Hong Kong movie".
is a bit too mature.
Moreover, Pan Yaoming will intersperse multiple overhead shots in each disaster scene to supplement the audience's sense of space and help them understand the situation more clearly.
This is the most comfortable disaster scene I have seen in recent years, much better than those that only know how to hold the camera around.
"Burning City" also did not give up the depiction of group scenes.
After watching it, I even think that the group scenes in this movie are worth learning from other Hong Kong movies.
Hong Kong people are really flexible. Since it is difficult to write a group portrait scene, then we have to subtract. There are not many characters in the movie, but many of them are just a few strokes, but the strokes are precise, and they stop immediately after sketching the outline.
Each character is very light and three-dimensional, making people remember it without overpowering it.
In the fire brigade, there are mature veterans, impulsive newcomers, and middle-aged people trapped in family difficulties. Even the two characters who fell behind at the beginning have complete character lines.
Andy Lau is a single father, living with his daughter, and has an unforgettable grudge with Bai Yu.
But this time the emotional lines were handled profoundly without being pretentious. Three character lines were solved in one phone call, and the efficiency was amazing.
Goddess Karen Mok is also a plus.
She appeared as a villain in the first half of the movie, representing the stubborn and selfish bureaucracy, and she was always against Andy Lau.
But later, after the big boss appeared, she turned to proceduralism and consequentialism.
As mentioned before, the script is really solid.
Finally
In short, this "Burning City" has a good reputation and a high box office. Its quality is fully worthy of today's results.
The movie's literary and drama are refined, and the martial arts are exciting. It has been high-energy since the 15th minute, and the ending method of bombing the mansion on the top of the mountain is also very imaginative. Although
has some minor problems, such as constantly creating difficulties in order to improve the freshness of the audience.
But overall, this is still a very mature script and a very exciting commercial disaster film.
It is also worth mentioning that the Hong Kong expert played by Andy Lau in the movie made a mistake in 1996, and the mainlander Bai Yu plays the firefighter, and the disaster was caused by foreigners and local capital.
In the end, Bai Yu and Andy Lau worked together to solve the disaster. In the ending, the Hong Kong chief executive played by David Jiang promised that Hong Kong will definitely change its past and get better and better.
Is this some kind of metaphor?
Forget it, we don’t understand politics either, we only know how to watch movies.
"The Burning City" is a good movie, and Hong Kong movies will get better and better.
