Chapter 691 Director Dog actually told the truth this time
The movie is over, but the open ending leaves people with endless aftertaste.
Especially the last scene makes people sigh. Although the movie does not explain whether Andy is still alive, basically everyone understands that it is no longer important.
Such an ending allows the audience to imagine for themselves, and perhaps also gives the audience extravagant hopes for a beautiful love.
Perhaps it is destined that the most romantic encounter should end in this ending.
He Shangsheng did not reveal the truth about the gem in the end.
This is the taste of Hong Kong movies!
It's never that cold. On the contrary, this scene makes people feel the long-lost warmth!
Many movie fans suddenly realized that this time, Director Gou actually told the truth for the rare occasion. "Dark War" indeed gave people a touch of warmth from beginning to end.
Even if the color is grey-blue, even if Andy only has four weeks to live when he appears on the scene.
But it doesn't give people a feeling of despair. This is probably why everyone inevitably likes this character, right?
After all, who can still be so free and easy when life is about to end, not just pretending to be free and easy, but truly free and easy?
With his elegance, his calmness, and his always confident, he made people forget that he was facing death, as if it was just like what he said to the doctor at the beginning: "It's just for this life!"
The movie ended, but there was silence in the Times Square theater. After a long time, roaring applause resounded.
Li Yi took the main creative members to the stage for the curtain call.
And the applause still lasted for a long time.
Many people applauded vigorously, including veteran film critics from Hong Kong like Liu Bo.
My hands were red from patting, but I still couldn't help but excitedly patted.
Because this movie truly made them feel like they were back in the most glorious era of Hong Kong films.
Although "Infernal Affairs" is hailed as the pinnacle of Hong Kong films and a milestone work, "Infernal Affairs" is still too depressing.
From a commercial perspective, "Infernal Affairs" may become a classic, but it will undoubtedly make many viewers feel depressed while watching the movie.
No one naturally likes this kind of obscure despair.
But "Dark War" is different. This movie may not be comparable to "Infernal Affairs" in terms of artistic achievements, but in terms of the audience's viewing experience, it will definitely surpass "Infernal Affairs".
"Dark War" was released simultaneously in the three places across the Taiwan Strait.
It will be released simultaneously nationwide at midnight on April 30th.
The premiere ended around 10 p.m.
Although there is only a few hours interval, for those movie fans who have been looking forward to this movie, they can't help but look forward to the first batch of reviews and the first batch of reviews after the premiere.
"Monkey Sai Lei! A dog director is indeed a dog director. In my opinion, "Dark War" is no worse than "Infernal Affairs"! It even has a richer flavor of Hong Kong films!"
"I have no reason not to love this movie... it's cold, tragic, humorous, moral, and warm in humanity. The key is that Director Gou didn't say the opposite this time. It's really a heart-warming police film."
"At first I thought it would be a police drama in the style of "Infernal Affairs", but after watching it I realized that I was terribly wrong. I was obviously crying, but I couldn't help but laugh again."
"If "Infernal Affairs" shows obscure despair and struggles to escape fate, then "Dark War" is the opposite. It is obviously a very desperate thing, but it is interpreted as a warm hope.
I think this is the best Hong Kong wit-fighting movie. Even if it has the reputation of "Infernal Affairs", it still can't shake its status."
"Meeting an opponent in chess, a high IQ suspense layout. Different from traditional movies about police and gangsters fighting for hegemony, this film is interspersed with a lot of jokes as a spice from time to time. It is full of Hong Kong-style humor, and Xu Yunhui as a supporting role creates an almost perfect little story.
The relationship between the police and criminals, the tacit understanding, and Stockholm are all handled extremely well in "Ba Zhi Lian". The soundtrack also adds a bit of desolation and a touch of sadness to the protagonist. It is really a good movie worthy of two or three viewings."
"The rhythm is so good! The thrill of a battle of wits and courage and the free and easy energy of meeting each other!"
"The ups and downs of the story, the characters' personality display and the battle of wits are all impeccable, even the ending is so perfect, and even the soundtrack is so unforgettable. I would like to call it the best representative of the cat-and-mouse game, never forgetting to play tricks amidst the hail of bullets.
, there are only a few emotional scenes but they are endlessly memorable.”
"Overall, it's a perfect work. It's not the kind of deep-rooted conspiracy, nor the kind of brotherly love in Hong Kong movies, but a kind of meeting an opponent, cherishing each other, and the acquaintance with the girl on the bus is also very beautiful. The story is simple,
But there is a huge external space.”
After the premiere of "Dark War", many fans couldn't help but express their anger on the Internet.
As for this movie, it can be said that it is almost a blow-by-blow.
This only makes those movie fans who have pre-purchased movie tickets for midnight screenings even more excited.
On Popular Film Critics Online, the ratings for "Dark War" have been lifted.
The initial score of 9.3 points is not as good as "Infernal Affairs", but such a high score still injected a shot of stimulant into countless movie fans.
Of course there are also embarrassing moments.
For example, fans who attended the premiere commented that the movie "Dark War" was very heartwarming and that Li Yi did not lie this time.
But I don’t know if it’s because I was bitten by a snake once and was afraid of well ropes for ten years.
When "The Story of Hachiko" made many people cry after being tortured, they also thought that having fun alone is not as good as having fun together, so they actually lied to everyone and said that it was a very heartwarming and healing movie.
Therefore, many fans said they did not believe it when they said that this movie was a rare and warm police film.
"Haha, I'm a die-hard old movie fan, do you think I would believe such a low-level routine?"
"It's an old trick, isn't it just trying to trick us into being tortured?"
"Can you do something new? Is it interesting to play this kind of trick all the time? We are all foxes for thousands of years, so don't let it go and play nonsense."
However, after all, there are only a few fans at the premiere, and the long film reviews that many fans are looking forward to are destined to be missed.
After all, the movie was officially released nationwide in two hours.
Liu Bo returned home full of excitement. Although he rarely stayed up late, he was willing to make an exception for "Dark War".
Moreover, at this moment, he couldn't sleep at all.
Just like when "Infernal Affairs" was released, I was so excited that I couldn't sleep.
So, he simply sat in front of the computer and started thinking about how to write a review for this movie.
As an old Hong Kong film critic who has experienced the glory and decline of Hong Kong films, he naturally knows the importance of "Dark War" to the current situation facing Hong Kong films.
It would not be an exaggeration to think of it as a true groundbreaking work.
Recalling the scenes of "Dark War" in his mind, Liu Bo opened his eyes after a long time.
