For the movie "A Better Tomorrow", the industry has given it such high praise that it has surprised countless movie fans.
""A Better Tomorrow" is the best Hong Kong gangster movie!" This is the evaluation given by a well-known veteran film critic in Hong Kong Island.
You know, in the golden age of movies in Hong Kong, gangster films were definitely a genre that had to be mentioned, and this type of film produced many classics that are still talked about today.
In fact, after the decline of Hong Kong films, countless people have shouted that it will be difficult to produce classic gangster films in the film industry from now on!
This is indeed not a war crime, because it is linked to the times.
After the return of Hong Kong Island, the situation where gangs and gangs were once rampant has long become a thing of the past.
From a film perspective, it is difficult for creators to recreate the glory of the past.
From the perspective of movie fans, today's directors can no longer produce the same flavor as before, because the world has gone far away and today is different from the past!
Some people may also mention "Infernal Affairs" and "Dark War", but in fact, these two movies are said to be gangster movies, but they are better said to be police and gangster movies.
There is a big difference between the two.
Mainly lies in the proportion of plot.
In "Infernal Affairs", it has always revolved around police and robbers, and the two sides are always the confrontation between soldiers and thieves.
There is no need to say more about "Dark War".
But "A Better Tomorrow" is different. What this movie shows is the true underworld.
Although there is also Song Zijie as a soldier, he has never been the one who leads the plot!
Some film critics analyzed why "A Better Tomorrow" had such a high score and why almost everyone who watched the movie was impressed by this film!
"A story can touch people because it contains the precious things we pursue all our lives. What a hero is directed by Li Yi should contain is dignity.
The dignity shown in the movie is that you can control your own destiny. In the words of Brother Ma, if you can control your own destiny, you are a god.
It's not that I can't bow my head in my life, but whenever I bow my head and compromise, it must be my own choice, and it can never be because of the force of others!
This point can be said to be vividly demonstrated by Brother Ma and Brother Hao. Young people look at Brother Xiao, but older people may understand Brother Hao better!
Xiao Ma had compromised and bowed his head because he was willing to do so. He could once live like a dog, but after Brother Hao was released from prison, he was no longer willing to compromise or bow his head because he had compromised and bowed his head before.
, because of his unwillingness to get back what he lost!
The beginning of the movie pretends to be peaceful. This is probably because in the prosperous age of music and singing, you can only see people's skin and flesh but not their bones. We share joys and sorrows together. We are so magnificent when things go smoothly, but how miserable and miserable we are when we are reduced to nothing. That's right.
It is this gorgeous presentation that has accumulated enough power to make the word "dignity" seem powerful. How can you imagine that such a high-spirited underworld boss Ma Ge, who can't bear to see the slightest dissatisfaction, will be limping in the next scene?
He lowered his head and opened the car door for his former younger brother who is now the eldest brother. He nodded and bowed to greet him to get in the car. He picked up a few bills that he threw on the ground without hesitation. He chose to endure it like this just to "take what he lost with his own hands."
return".
In the film, Xiao Ma has no family ties or blood ties. He is a pure embodiment of brotherhood and a lone heroic knight. Therefore, he lives very clearly and only needs to shoulder his own responsibilities and do things alone.
Those who take responsibility for one person and treat each other honestly will be rewarded with sincerity; those who betray and plot will be killed in return.
What a joyful grudge, right and wrong.
"I swear that no one can point a gun at my head again." This is not only a warrior with unique skills and clear grudges, but also a lone hero who is free and does not compromise with fate. The sunset in the desert, holding a sword
Wandering, drinking and singing, the anger will be repaid. Song Zihao's downfall during the short three years in prison was not forced by fate, but his own choice, waiting for his good brother to come back and take revenge.
In the end, Li Yi also gave Xiao Ma a perfect ending like a martial arts novel. The great revenge was avenged and both died together. A fighter died on the battlefield after the last bullet killed the last enemy. This is probably what he looked like.
The best destination for people.
Such a hero who has no ties and controls his own destiny is such a cool hero that many people want to be, but in real life, it is difficult to achieve. Family, career, morality, public opinion, countless ropes are tied to him.
You have to consider the feelings and influence of family, friends and even strangers other than yourself.
We are not the masters of destiny at all, but are trampled under our feet by fate, unable to move. Apart from breathing, eating, earning money and surviving step by step like a machine, we cannot make the slightest wave, let alone a huge wave that overturns the direction of life. Xiao
Marco's dignity is beyond our reach.
If Xiao Ma is a lone hero that countless young people imitate and pursue, then Song Zihao's character is closer to the actual situation of a normal person, with flesh and blood, relatives, friends, guilt, and pursuits.
Song Zihao's dignity is not as simple as controlling his destiny. It is a network woven by intricate ties. On the one hand, he is worthy of his brothers and treats him with sincerity. On the other hand, he repays the debt he owes to his family. On the other hand, he makes his enemies who oppress him pay with blood.
.When all these things come together, it is the so-called fate.
All these ties are also in order. The life and death friendship between brothers has been through blood and eaten bullets together. This is a bond about loyalty. In the final analysis, a person is alone in his life. If there can be one person,
It is not a blood relationship, but it can treat you without reservation, understand you, pursue your pursuit, help you in every possible way, never betray, and absolutely support you. This is definitely the greatest blessing in life. And for someone like this
Brothers, they must go through fire and water and respond to requests. Such a rare and deep friendship does not need to be said in too many words. The tears in the eyes of the two when they met in the underground garage are already worth a thousand words.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Equally important as brotherhood is the responsibility to relatives. The love of childbearing cannot be repaid, and blood is thicker than water. Because we live together and grow together.
Due to his choice, his father was assassinated and his brother was unable to achieve his pursuit. When Song Zihao was released from prison, Song Zihao had already changed his mind and wanted to repay these family debts. There was only one way to repay them, to start a new life and return to the right path. More
He tried to get his brother's forgiveness for the first time, but he was too deeply hurt, refused to forgive, and could not trust his brother again. These feelings of guilt for his relatives eventually became Song Zihao's "principles", and this word appeared repeatedly in Song's mouth
, for Song, this principle is to insist on no longer being involved in gangs and live a normal, stable and law-abiding life.
The last one was a forced and helpless choice. Song Zihao had decided to stop in order to change his mind, but his enemies kept pressing him step by step, bullying him too much, not giving him a chance to start a new life, hurting his brother, threatening his brother, and beating him.
He smashed his company workers. When he was forced to have no way out, Song Zihao's inner righteousness was still aroused. This was also because of Brother Xiaoma's enlightenment. I don't want to prove who I am.
Weifeng, I just want to get back what I threw away with my own hands. I keep talking about principles, but I can't lose sight of the bottom line. If you bully someone too much, you must make him pay the price. It's not that you can't have the mafia's mentality of revenge, but
It is a way of revenge and debt repayment that does not require gangster methods.
As the third protagonist, Ajie, Song Zihao's younger brother, is the one who is most constrained by fate. Although Song and Ma have different pursuits, they can choose their own paths, but Ajie is the only one who has no choice.
The person to choose. After the death of his father, he had no choice. He chose the police career, but because his brother was involved in gangs, he could not be promoted and his future was lost. All of this was attributed to the choice of his brother Song Zihao, who was the blood of his dearest relatives.
Yu Shui's brother makes him unable to choose. The conflict between love and hate makes the character Ajie irritable and entangled!
The role of Ajie, from the perspective of an onlooker, is obviously not a likable character, but it is a pitiful character who has no choice.
Therefore, he has reason to love and even more reason to hate!
All love, hate, helplessness, fate, opportunity, all converge at the last point of fate, the gun battle at the end. It is hearty and satisfying. In fact, it is a kind of helplessness. Everyone is fighting against fate, but
No one can deviate from the track of fate. The so-called way of heaven means that everyone cannot do what they want. A heroic knight who is willing to take revenge pays his life in the end. A person who wants to change his mind, but has no choice but to take revenge and repay his debts in the end, still has a gun.
A bullet. A young man who wanted to be a good policeman finally chose to use gangster methods to deal with a bad guy.
No one gets what he wants. Only family affection, brotherhood, and justice can make people live with dignity, bring enemies to justice, and unite relatives, brothers, and benefactors into an indestructible community. But society, justice, and justice are just
Layers upon layers of ties make honest people have nowhere to go, and kind people retreat again and again. However, the more unprincipled people are, the more they can wander around and become prosperous.
What a ridiculous society this is. People who want to be good police officers will not get promotions in the end. People who want to be good people still cannot escape the suspicion and investigation of the police. However, rich and powerful evil people can get away with it and even speak out without shame.
As long as I surrender, I can still be paroled in a few years and make a comeback. The final way to get retribution for a villain who is hated by everyone is not to give it to the police, but to use the underworld method and give him a bullet.
At the end of the movie, in fact, no one can choose. Destiny, a big machine composed of countless gears that operates all the time, never gives anyone the power to choose. Everything is nothing more than the choice of everything around him, not
Your own choice. If you want to get rid of everything, you have to have no bottom line and no conscience. Therefore, being a good person is a kind of helplessness. You shoulder many responsibilities that have nothing to do with you. You are forced by fate to go all the way to the unknown and surrender to fate.
.
The handcuffs in the final scene are nothing more than giving a little bit of good hope to this deeply despairing society.
Because reality is more cruel than movies!"
As the movie expanded its screenings, "A Better Tomorrow" once again set off a retro trend.
The lines in the movie have also begun to be forwarded by countless people.
At the same time, there were discussions about Brother Xiao Ma, Brother Hao, Song Zijie, etc.
Of course, without any surprise, Xiao Ma became the most popular character in this movie.
Many netizens commented on Brother Ma: "Wearing cool sunglasses, holding a matchstick in his mouth, and wearing two guns, he knocked down the last enemy while blowing the gun coolly. I think this is probably each of us."
Have you ever had a heroic dream?"
"Brother Ma is more like the ancient Jianghu people who drew their swords in anger and rejoiced in grudges. How could each of us never think about letting go of all worries and fetters and go out into the world, just like Brother Ma, go to the Jianghu with pleasure?
!”
"
You can insult me, but you can't insult my friends!" "I never force my friends to do things they don't want to do." "I've been waiting for you for three years. After three years, I want to do it all over again!"
These lines are really amazingly written. For a friend like Brother Ma and a brother like Brother Ma, please give me a dozen!"
As for Song Zijie, there is quite a bit of controversy.
This character, as mentioned before, is not a very likable character.
But gradually this role began to be understood by people.
Many fans began to defend the role of Ajie!
"When my eldest brother was released from prison and went to look for him, Ajie's attitude was always decisive. When I saw Brother Hao being kicked out by Ajie and standing helplessly in the heavy rain, I felt that Ajie was too heartless.
Yes, he has gone too far. But, when I think about it, isn’t this the real him? As long as the identity of the brother has not changed, his attitude will never change. This is a good person who truly sticks to himself.
police."
"Actually, this is what is called don't encourage others to do good without their suffering. Ajie is a policeman, his father died because of his elder brother, and because his elder brother is a criminal, his career and life have been affected.
He has so much reason to hate Song Zihao!
In fact, from our point of view, if we have a brother, we don’t need to say who he killed, but we only need to say that he was in jail or released from prison, how many people will believe that he will change his ways?
Not to mention Ajie?"
Then it’s about Brother Hao.
"At first, I always thought he was quite useless, but then when I thought about it, I admired him. This kind of big brother is the real big brother."
"Brother Hao always makes me feel inexplicable pain. He is a bloody man, but his identity implicated his father. He was betrayed by his trusted brother and imprisoned. After he was released from prison, he returned home and was betrayed by his own brother.
After typing it out, I was lying alone in the rain, and the tears that Brother Hao had suppressed finally flowed out. How sentimental that scene was, it was the scene that touched me the most in the movie!"
"Everyone is talking about Brother Ma, but what I like is Brother Hao, the real big brother. "A Better Tomorrow" is about how men regain their dignity when they are down and out. Many young people are thinking about "I lost it"
"I must get my things back" and the whole house cheered, and their hearts were surging for the decisive battle filled with bullets and bullets. However, have they ever seen the undying determination of the hero in Brother Ma's eyes, and have they ever truly understood the helplessness of Brother Hao's people in the world?"
