1073. Box office burst
"However, "Infernal Affairs" is still a good movie from a movie perspective.
Chen Yongren's character has prototypes in reality, no, it should be said that there are many prototypes.
Earlier, a certain celebrity was caught in the absorption rate, and many fans spoke for him, saying why he couldn’t give him a chance to correct his mistakes?
I couldn't help laughing in anger. What bullshit is this?
Liu Jianming has no choice, but celebrities, do they have no choice?
Enjoy this peaceful era created by the unsung hero who carried the burden on us like Chen Yongren, but do things to help the evil.
To put it in a conversation between Chen Yongren and Liu Jianming, if you want to be a good person, you can go and tell the judge whether he will let you be a good person.
The net of heaven is vast and unobstructed, and everyone should be responsible for what they have done.
Many people may think that Chen Yongren's pain is just a movie, but in fact, each of the anti-drug police officers fighting on the front line is more dangerous than Chen Yongren. How many people know about their sacrifice?
To indulge absorbent is to blasphemy against them!
....”
Of course, more critics are interpreting the entire movie.
The film critic of the column "Chinese Film World" Wangshu gave "Infernal Affairs" a high evaluation in his personal column.
"Hong Kong Island police and gangster films have become a type of film. In the years of development, police and gangster films have gangster spirit and righteousness. Good and evil are often hard to distinguish between good and evil. It can be said that similar films actually have many undercover films in the golden age of Hong Kong Island movies, but why is "Infernal Affairs" so attractive?
In fact, to put it bluntly, it is a story of catching an undercover agent and a traitor. However, a story of catching an undercover agent is told in a turbulent manner and full of moral dilemmas. The plot is layered with contradictions, and in the end, even the contradictions are unsolvable, so they can only use Buddhist ideas to find answers.
The theme of Hell in the Abyssas can be said to have truly sublimated the entire movie.
There are actually four people at the core of "Infernal Affairs": Liu Jianming, Chen Yongren, Huang Zhicheng, and Han Chen. One by one, each one is a person suffering in the Infernal Affairs Purgatory.
First of all, let’s talk about the role of Liu Jianming.
As one of the two protagonists, from the plot point of view, he is actually far less outstanding than Chen Yongren.
But if you carefully review it, you will find that in fact, Liu Jianming is worthy of being one of the two protagonists.
Liu Jianming can be said to be a person who concentrates the most core contradictions. The classic line "I had no choice before, but now I want to be a good person" was said to Chen Yongren on the rooftop, and it must have been told to himself countless times in his heart. Liu Jianming has the moral dilemma at the core of this movie. Liu Jianming doesn't know what a good person is and what a bad person is. He wants to be a good person in his heart, but in fact, he thinks he is a "good person"!
In fact, this itself involves our consistent misunderstanding of good and evil.
The Buddhist practice of putting down the butcher's knife and becoming a Buddha on the spot has misunderstood many people.
Liu Jianming's cognition is actually the cognition of many people in our real society.
If a person does a lot of bad things and suddenly does a good thing, he will be sympathetic and feel that it is a prodigal son who returns and does not change his gold.
This is Liu Jianming's perception. He subconsciously ignored the bad things he had done.
We usually judge whether a person does bad things as subjective, and whether a person who is forced to do bad things is considered a good person?
Should we bear moral judgment for what we do when fate has no choice, and what we are forced to do? Neither of the questions of ethical dilemma, the contradiction between "fate" and "choice" are answered.
On the other hand, his inner struggle also reflects his self-awareness dilemma.
"A person who does not follow the rules is like him. Get out of here. Does anyone want to change with him?" This sentence appeared twice, and he answered in his heart, "I want to change with him." Whether at the police academy or at the end of Chen Yongren's tomb, it can be seen that his inner struggle has never been relieved. He wanted to become a "good person" from the beginning and break free from the dilemma of self-cognition. Even if he was buried in the building in the end, it is ridiculous that he did not even get the chance to bear punishment. In the end, he became the person who lived to the end. The black screen subtitles of the movie: "The Buddha said: Those who have received the body will never die, and longevity is the great disaster in the hell of the infinite.
Longevity is the great disaster in the Infinite Hell, and it is the great disaster that Liu Jianming has to accept every day he lives.
Let’s talk about Chen Yongren, I believe many people will remember the complaint he said when he met Officer Huang.
"It's obvious that three years have been agreed upon, three years have passed, and three years have passed, and three years have passed, it's almost ten years since the boss."
In most people's impressions, Chen Yongren is a more impressive character than Liu Jianming. In his words, he almost forgot whether he was a policeman or a gangster. He was played by a gangster who had been wearing a mask for nearly ten years. He could not even tell the truth when he was sleeping. He could only say to her in Li Xiner's psychological clinic with a little pride: "I tell you, I'm actually a policeman."
This policeman who couldn't sleep even while saying that I was almost forgotten whether I was a policeman. He pointed a gun at Liu Jianming on the rooftop and said without hesitation: "I'm sorry, I'm a policeman."
Sorry, I have no choice. I have been a young and dandy for nine years, but I still haven't forgotten that I am a policeman.
This is his persistence, probably this is the greatest charm that he can always make people feel distressed and unforgettable.
People with perseverance and faith are worthy of admiration in any case.
Born in darkness and heart towards light, what I mean is Chen Yongren.
Some people may say, why are you so stupid? But it is precisely because of so many "stupid" people like Chen Yongren that we can have a peaceful life.
Let’s talk about Huang Zhicheng. “The policeman was so tough. They caught him and beat him for ten minutes.”
Unlike Chen Yongren, Huang Zhicheng is a policeman. He has always had a policeman. His character setting looks monotonous, but he is the first character to receive a lunch box.
Huang Zhicheng and Superintendent Huang looked dull and mature, and they were not young and enthusiastic. When he first besieged Han Chen, he said, "It's work, it won't work next time."
It seems that he is a leader hiding in a safe position behind the undercover agent, allowing Chen Yongren to be undercover in a dangerous lair for three years, preparing to reap the results in the police station.
I believe many people will not like this role very much when they see Chen Yongren and Huang Zhicheng joining each other.
However, after the joint, he left himself and chose to take the elevator to leave, and let Chen Yongren leave first and finally be killed. At this time, it is hard to say that he was not for the purpose of protecting this nine-year undercover agent.
Before his death, Shaqiang told Chen Yongren that the policeman was a tough guy. This tough guy had long regarded life, life and work as one. He should never think that a policeman was in a dangerous situation was something that deserved to be considered particularly great. This is their work and "Tao". So like Chen Yongren, he was ready to die with his opponents at any time.
....”
The first day of Infernal Affairs came out soon.
When I saw the first-day box office data of Infernal Affairs, many people were shocked.
Why?
Because, "Infernal Affairs" exploded!
The box office on the first day was 260 million!
Such achievements can be said, not to mention Cao Meng or others, even Wang Yifan himself did not expect them.
Although he had known for a long time that Infernal Affairs would definitely be a big hit, he never expected that it would be a big hit to this level.
The key is that this box office has long broken the record of all Hong Kong films that can be broken.
Moreover, the movie has a very good reputation, and the reputation of the critics, audiences, and media are all explosive.
