In the minds of viewers who have watched the movie, these comments are their most real feelings.
Even after watching the movie, they still felt unhappy and couldn't calm down.
Many film critics have begun to write reviews, which are very detailed. They start describing the movie from the beginning and explain to everyone the many hidden contents of the movie.
Mr. Roger’s film review once again attracted the attention of many people.
This time, Roger was invited to attend the premiere of the movie, which was Chen Mubai's return for his previous review of "The Hypnotist".
At that time, his film reviews caused quite a stir and made a certain contribution to the film's box office. Chen Mubai was quite grateful to him.
No matter what Roger's purpose was for doing this, no matter what, Roger did contribute to the movie's box office. For this reason, Chen Mubai really needs to be grateful to him.
Roger was quite happy when he got the invitation to the premiere.
After all, Chen Mubai is an actor and director that he admires very much. It is also a joy to receive his invitation.
""Infernal Affairs" points out the theme at the beginning. The name of the movie is also derived from the commentary on Buddhist scriptures. It tells a cause and effect relationship. For example, Han Chen helped Liu Jianming, allowed him to grow and firmly controlled him.
This was the cause he planted, so in the end, Liu Jianming killed him, which is how he understood the effect."
"The relationship between the characters is like this throughout the film. Let's start with the plot."
"First of all, Han Chen left a few men to go to the police station at the beginning just to prepare for the future. In fact, he did it very successfully, otherwise he would not be so capable later."
"He told his younger brother that he didn't believe in fate and that he chose his own path. This was a foreshadowing. In the end, Liu Jianming killed him and answered him. This was the path Liu Jianming chose."
"Cause and effect are matched. At the same time, it was Han Chen who gave Liu Jianming this idea. Han Chen succeeded because of this idea, and finally died because of this idea."
"In the movie, Liu Jianming and Chen Yongren are rivals but also confidants. This is pointed out in the opening scene. They both like to listen to nostalgic songs and the same speakers. Their lives are also very similar. They are confidants, but they are also confidants.
Because of their camps, they can be rivals but not friends."
"Liu Jianming was still alive in the end, but he lost everything. He was just like what was written in the girlfriend novel. A man who wanted to be a good person did something wrong and lost his girlfriend. In the days to come, his life may not be perfect.
It may be a kind of suffering, coming from within.”
"Although Chen Yongren is dead, he has many people who believe in him and love him, including psychiatrists, his ex-girlfriend and his daughter."
"Yes, the child of Chen Yongren's ex-girlfriend is his daughter. This is not said in the movie, but the hint is very obvious. She deliberately said in front of Chen Yongren that the child was 5 years old instead of 6 years old, just because she was afraid that Chen Yongren would think of the truth.
And she wore a ring on her index finger, which was a sign of being single. When she met Chen Yongren, she kept her hand in her pocket, and only took it out after Chen Yongren left."
"Finally, she attended Chen Yongren's funeral and still had a child, which made it clear that if she had nothing to do with Chen Yongren, the police would not let her participate in the funeral. They can only say that she is his family member to have this qualification."
"Chen Mubai did not explain many of the plots explicitly, but gave enough hints. For example, the fact that Big B is an undercover agent was actually hinted at in the first confrontation between Han Chen and Officer Huang. Big B answered the phone and changed the channel.
That sentence was what he told Han Chen, so Han Chen could still grasp the police's actions even when the police changed the channel."
"It's just that Chen Mubai didn't give an answer, but covered up this detail through Liu Jianming's bold behavior. When Liu Jianming pretended to be a lawyer, he said that the boss behind the scenes was Amao, and Big B even asked him specifically. In fact, this was to remind Liu Jianming,
Don't relax, he is an undercover agent."
"Returning to Han Chen, he is a suspicious person. He controls Liu Jianming but does not completely trust him, so he has another undercover boss. Liu Jianming has been under Han Chen's surveillance for a long time without knowing it."
"Han Chen controlled everyone's life, but in the end he was unable to control his own life. He died. I have to say that this is also a kind of irony."
"Before Officer Huang was thrown off the rooftop, he unconsciously called Chen Yongren. He actually had a premonition that he might die and wanted to explain something, but he was afraid that if Chen Yongren didn't leave after saying it, he would be harmed, so
He didn't say anything."
"Why do you say that? When Han Chen's younger brother came up, he deliberately pretended to make a phone call. In fact, he was avoiding these people. He is a policeman, why should he be afraid of them? This makes no sense. He is the only one who knows Han Chen well.
Chen's character is too tight, Han Chen will definitely kill people, that's why he does it, and his ending also proves this truth."
"Chen Yongren's good brother Shaqiang was really kind to Chen Yongren. He knew all the facts in his heart but didn't tell him. He protected him all the time. Until the end, he still told him not to be discovered by Han Chen."
"Liu Jianming cooperated with Chen Yongren, and what made Han Chen relax was the key news. Silly Qiang was assigned the identity of an undercover by them, and Chen Yongren's suspicion was cleared. Only then did the following things happen, and Liu Jianming had
A chance to kill Han Chen."
"As for why Chen Yongren chose to escape instead of reporting in the police station, it is because his identity is still the Young and Dangerous, and Liu Jianming is the only person who has the ability to restore his identity. Even if he files a complaint, the other police officers will not believe him.
Without key evidence, just relying on the file is not enough."
"Besides, he didn't know Liu Jianming's inner thoughts, and he didn't know that Liu Jianming wanted to clear his name. From his perspective, Liu Jianming definitely wanted to kill him. In order to protect himself, he could only run away to get evidence as soon as possible, instead of
During the confrontation with Liu Jianming in the police station, we from God’s perspective know Liu Jianming’s heart, but it is impossible to know from Chen Yongren’s perspective.”
Roger explained why Chen Yongren ran away from the police station. Many netizens did not understand. Some people bluntly said that there was no need to run, or that they would wait until their identities were restored before reporting Liu Jianming, or that Liu Jianming already wanted to be a good person and did not want to kill him at all, so Chen Yongren ran away.
This behavior was so stupid that Roger gave an explanation for the plot.
"The recording that Liu Jianming's girlfriend heard was what Chen Yongren did. He had seen the cabinet where Han Chen kept the tapes, so after he left the police station, he immediately ran to get the evidence, and then went to Liu Jianming's house to pretend
He repaired the sound system so that Mary could hear the recorded words, and this also clearly indicated to Liu Jianming that he had evidence in his hand that Liu Jianming was an undercover agent!"
"After these preparations were made, Chen Yongren made an appointment with Liu Jianming, and the two met. This rooftop scene is very classic. I still have the picture in my mind. The real showdown between the two knowing each other's identities, the acting skills are very explosive."
"Why did Liu Jianming kill Big B who helped him? Because Big B was the only one who knew his undercover identity. Mary said she would not report him, and he himself wanted to clear his name, so he had no choice but to kill Big B. Besides,
This incident is equivalent to his having the leverage in Big B's hands, and Big B can use it to threaten him in the future. For his own safety, Liu Jianming would choose to kill Big B."
"In the end, the biggest winner is Liu Jianming. After all, he is still alive and has achieved what he wanted."
Roger wrote a very detailed review of "Infernal Affairs", including a detailed explanation of the film's plot and many hints.
He finally wrote: "Are there any good people in this movie? There shouldn't be. I can only say that Officer Huang and others have good intentions in hoping to catch the bad guys, but they may not have done bad things."
"Chen Yongren said at the beginning that there were many complaints about fights, including injuries and killings with guns. If he had not done these things, I am afraid he would not have become Han Chen's confidant, so even though he was undercover, he did
A lot of bad things.”
"It can be seen that Officer Huang is not a law-abiding police officer. He may have done bad things but did not say anything about it. At the end of the movie, Chen Mubai gave an Easter egg. There will be a second part, and Officer Huang, Han Chen and others should be released.
The story is the prequel to "Infernal Affairs"."
"Needless to say, Liu Jianming, as an undercover gangster, the information he gave must have affected many police actions, and must have indirectly killed many people. He himself also killed Big B."
"So, this movie is not about good guys and bad guys, but it is telling the cause and effect relationship through the story, and what hell is. Living but suffering is the real endless hell. Liu Jianming is like this. His
The outcome may seem best but may not be so.”
Roger's interpretation of the movie once again attracted the attention of many people on the Douya website.
After all, when film critics watch a movie, there are many things that ordinary viewers cannot notice. If they don't point it out, no one will notice this detail.
Just like when Big B answers the phone, the call he receives is from Han Chen instead of his colleague.
Where Chen Yongren met his ex-girlfriend, the child was Chen Yongren's. It was not what his ex-girlfriend said. She was not actually married. She was just unwilling to tell him the truth due to Chen Yongren's status. She still loved him.
...
"Mubai, the box office is out at zero o'clock, 23.5 million!" Lu Fang said in surprise.
"Very good." Chen Mubai also smiled, and then asked: "Where's "Monster 2"?"
"37.9 million."
The premiere box office of "Monsters 2" was nearly 15 million higher than that of "Infernal Affairs", which is really terrifying!
"Monsters 2" has a strong production team and cast. The first part was a hit, and the popularity of the second part remains high.
"The gap is a bit big." Lu Fang sighed.
The results of "Infernal Affairs" are indeed very good when viewed alone, but once compared with "Monsters 2", the gap becomes even larger.
This is just the box office for the premiere, the gap will be even greater on the first day!
The key is that they took the initiative to compete in "Monsters 2". Now that this result has come out, I'm afraid that there will be many media reports on this matter tomorrow, and many people will laugh at Chen Mubai's overestimation of his abilities.
"It doesn't matter. The results of foreign blockbusters will be good at the beginning. It depends on the follow-up." Chen Mubai was not surprised, but comforted Lu Fang.
Generally speaking, a movie like "Monsters 2" is very dynamic. After all, it is a science fiction blockbuster, and people will pay for the special effects alone.
Movies of the type "Infernal Affairs" rely on word-of-mouth fermentation, which is also the advantage of feature films. Therefore, Chen Mubai is not particularly concerned about the previous box office results. The main reason is that word-of-mouth fermentation has developed, and the box office will naturally not be low.
Of course, he is not sure of surpassing the box office of "Monsters 2". No matter how low the box office of this type of movie is, it will not be too low. This is the advantage of the subject matter. After all, the investment is huge, and the box office is worth the investment.
The investment in "Infernal Affairs" and "Monsters 2" are very different. One is tens of millions of RMB and the other is hundreds of millions of dollars. The gap between the two in recovering the cost is huge, so it is unrealistic to compare the box office alone.
At least in terms of box office profits, Chen Mubai does not think that "Monsters 2" will definitely surpass "Infernal Affairs", even if it is the global box office!
