If you haven't seen the Flying Man series, it's easy to think of it as another Brothers, because the father Dan Gang described in the film is an important member of the club, and Hong Bin and Hong Tianyou have been separated since childhood. My brother stayed in Hong Kong, and my brother was sent to the United States and didn't want him to come back. However, because my father was critically ill, he returned to Hong Kong, and then there was a club storm. However, from the writer's point of view, although the cost of this film is not high, from the joke point of view, the flying funeral is actually more interesting than Brothers.
However, if you have seen Flying Man, it is not difficult to see that Jordan chan's role as a traitor in the film is similar to that of Wu Zhenyu in previous series. However, both in modeling and interpretation, Jordan chan and Aaron Kwok's role in another Hong Kong film "Federation of Waste Wood" is very similar, which is too exaggerated.
In this plot, it is not difficult to see Kai Cheung Chung's thoughts. At the beginning of the film, he explained the relationship between the characters in the film with a slow mirror, but the effect was not very good. One of the conflicts in the film is Lin Jiadong's Hong Bin, Xu Tianyou's Hong Tianyou, Tan Yaowen's funeral and the superintendent. Among these four explanations, Jordan chan is too arrogant. As for Tan Yaowen, his performance is just a depressed superintendent, which is very similar to his work Hot Interpol released in 2000. Tan Yaowen's mania, can't let people see his ambition or pressure, just give a person a kind of unknown so's heart. The most obvious example is that outside the funeral home, the police car was surrounded by a group of people shouting and making the audience laugh.
As for Xu Tianyou, although the film has arranged a scholar role that is more in line with his image, it is always mentioned in the film that he will return to the United States to "hand in a paper" (submit a paper). It is really unreasonable to urge him to return to the United States on this ground. Compared with Eason Chan's performance in Brothers, Xu Tianyou's performance is far from enough. In one scene, you saw a man who arranged his father's funeral was beheaded and seriously injured. The jaw-dropping performance was very uncoordinated, which really made the audience laugh. As for Shang Tiane, who plays her mother, although she seems to be a woman who knows how to deal with people, she has "sudden mental retardation".
In contrast, Lin Jiadong is the most prominent actor in the film, Hong Bin is an introverted character, and Lin Jiadong is more mature in performance than Du Qifeng's series of works. Dealing with gangs, mothers and younger brothers in the film can show different attitudes and nature.
There are actually five funerals in the "funeral" in the movie, but the most important one is the funeral of the former speaker of the social club and the "century funeral" which was greatly damaged by the big funeral. The arrangement of these two funerals is also very thoughtful, and all links are arranged with great interest. Of course, many bridges are not new, but they can be piled up. However, the climax really surprised the audience, but the story behind it was a bit too long.
It is worth mentioning that, in addition to Shang Tiane, another female character in the film, Huang Rong, acts as a flesh bomb, which is also a tool for Jordan chan to vent her desires. She often wears a small cloth on any occasion. If she thinks that "seven robberies and seven criminals" are not "eye-catching", she might as well try it.
Generally speaking, some actors' performances in "Flying Funeral" are not quite right, and there are also many confusing scenes, but Kai Cheung Chung, the screenwriter and director, can see that he works hard and tries his best to pay attention to the funeral theme. Although the release of Brothers was not as extensive as that of the same period, there were only ten audiences at 7: 30 on the day of the release in Jiahe Mongkok, but it won the creativity.
(Difference between Mainland Edition and Hong Kong Edition)
(1) The title is different.
The original film in Hong Kong was called Flying Man at the Funeral, but it was renamed Gladiator at the Funeral in the Mainland because of its Cantonese vocabulary. ② Violent plot
The Great Mourning (Jordan chan) meets a gangster who hacked to death a telephone pole (Hui Tianci). After talking for a few words, Dazang grabbed the gangster's head and slammed it on the stone table, and then pulled it out to feed the dog ... The mainland version cut off the whole violent scene. 3 drink turtle blood.
Hong Bin (Lin Jiadong) destroys the stove in the crematorium and prevents his father's body from being cremated, which makes the funeral very angry. Huang Rong (a disappointed lover) angered disappointment by putting in a good word for the Hong Bin brothers, and was forced to swallow the blood of the tortoise ... The "bloody" picture of the mainland version was not preserved. I don't understand why this paragraph has also been deleted. Can turtle blood be considered violent and bloody? (4) rape scene
After the "century funeral", the funeral broke his leg and left his relatives hiding at home. At this time, the infirmary just called to inform him that he had sexually transmitted diseases. In order to vent his anger, he wanted to rape his lover Huang Rong, but in the end he couldn't afford to fall to the ground because of a heart attack ... In the mainland version, this rape scene was completely deleted, and the plots of taking medicine for two heart attacks before and after the funeral were linked together, as well as his lover Huang Rong.
