1. Family education with Hong Kong film characteristics
Azu is a child seriously influenced by family education since childhood, which leads to extreme thinking when he grows up. He gathered people of his type and started a deadly game of "burning, killing and robbing". This element is the influence of Native House, which is reflected in many Hong Kong films. For example, in the series "Young and Dangerous", the family atmosphere of young and dangerous people is not very good. Parents either beat and scold or grew up with grandma, lacking the necessary spiritual communication.
2. Police identity with Hong Kong film characteristics
Since it is a gangster film, the position of the police is to stand on the side of justice. For example, Chen Guorong, who worked on a case, was abused in the middle, but finally stood on the side of justice. The villain Joe is the son of the Chief Superintendent. The chief superintendent, who has always been fair and just, wants to train the son of a "murderer", which is the contradiction of this film.
This is also a novelty of this film. It no longer sets the old routine of "inside ghost", but chooses the role of police son to undertake the point of creating contradictions, which is very attractive.
3. Other typical characteristics of Hong Kong films
There are also two typical scenes here: worshipping Guan Gong and chasing the rooftop. Guan Gong appeared in many films. Basically, Guan Gong is one of the leading characters that must appear in the gunfight.
Needless to say, the rooftop hunting of the police film is an inevitable location, refer to the Infernal Affairs series. The rooftop hunting in this movie was all shot in real scenes. Nicholas Tse was almost hanged by a rope at that time, which was really dangerous.
Generally speaking, this is a very novel gangster film, and the plot inside is not routine. No matter Jackie Chan or others, their acting skills are online, especially the villain Daniel Wu, who is so handsome that he tears. The charming villain really suits him! !
