heartily. It's been a long time since
watched such a rich, compact and beautiful movie.
The film market at the end of the year finally "exploded". It has exceeded 100 million in one day and scored 9.4 points, which is a stunning "touch high" in the heroic narrative of "The Hurt Dismantlement 2". Whether it is a breakthrough in the creation of the protagonist on content issues or a breakthrough in Andy Lau 's acting skills, they all seem to vaguely tell a god created by public opinion how to be a person's story ambition.
1. The film language
unfolds the narrative in a grand background, combines flashback and interstitial narrative techniques, and reveals the complex changes in human nature from the transformation of the protagonist’s temperament. The explosive acting skills of Andy Lau, Liu Qingyun and Xie Junhao are amazing, and the characters are amazing. The psychological portrayal is quite delicate.
It borrows the changeable story shell and throws people into the contradictions of reality. In less than 120 minutes, it staged a scene of people's choices and struggles in front of good and evil. The long-term depression is released like a nuclear explosion at the end, and I feel pain and pleasure every frame, and the feeling of soundness is beyond words. The success of
lies in the fact that the confrontation between the police and the bandit is not as overly facial as the first one, and the narrative and characterization are more full.
has to say that Director Qiu's prowess has grown, and he deserves to be an emerging director of the Hong Kong-style police film in recent years.
2. The overall impression of
The nervous bomb incident, which outlines the external environment in a few strokes, and the rapid shift of the camera to highlight the anxiety and panic of the crowd, the excitement of the police and the robbers, the bomb disposal process is unconventional, every time a different feeling. What impressed
most was Dong Zhuowen (played by Liu Qingyun) wearing a thick explosion-proof suit and dismantling a C-4 bomb that was about to explode in front of him, surrounded by his comrades struggling in a pool of blood, and behind him was a provocative cold-blooded sniper shooting a bullet. On the explosion-proof suits and the limbs of the comrades, the scene blends grief and burning, concentration and calmness, and the background music makes the audience experience empathy, and the feeling is more painful than being shot on your body.
The love scene between Pan Chengfeng (Andy Lau) and Pang Ling (Ni Ni) is quite amazing. Pan's steady and explosiveness, Pang's restraint and tolerance, and the love story is old but touching enough. After
broke his leg, Pan Chengfeng and Pang Ling joked: "I lost a leg, and I still have two hands. I can defuse bombs with my left hand, and hold your hand with my right hand." He is so tenacious, like grass in a rock crack, It cannot be crushed or broken; yet so fragile and soft, when everyone lost trust in him, they also gave up justice.
Three, plot analysis
The best thing to watch in this film is Pan’s struggle and salvation. When the accident happened, the things he insisted on became the scruples of others. He tried his best to adjust his state to adapt to life, but found that the people around him no longer trusted and supported him. Under the almost disillusioned gap, a person doubted himself. Negation will destroy the strongest belief-even if Pan’s life was full of hope and fighting spirit before.
He shouted, he roared. He is not crazy, he is pain. In the five years when
was unable to apply for reinstatement, the flower of justice in Pan Chengfeng's blood slowly withered, and was uprooted, and an angry and evil weed was born in the same place.
From the doctor’s lone wolf terrorist attack at the Office of Education, to the explosion of a cocktail party that caused dozens of deaths and injuries, he was the planner and the commander, Song Jiang and Chao Gai.
Finally, at the center of Qingma Bridge , at the intersection of the train collision, at the center of the nuclear explosion, Pan Chengfeng was awakened by justice, gave his life, and completed self-salvation. The director of the
show is always ingenious when portraying each group. Qiu Litao obviously meets such characteristics.
The enthusiastic slogans of the members of the "Resurrection Society" (the planning organization of the bombing) and the theoretical rhetoric of "justice". There are several interesting scenes: Ma Shijun and Pan Chengfeng chose to meet at Nepal for the first time. The two put their hands together under the rotating prayer flags, facing the distant Mount Everest pilgrimage, leaning from a high altitude to the snow-capped mountains. The film language blended with religious meaning can not help but think of a series of Hong Kong films of the last century.
This is an imitation and a tribute.
Most people should have been killed but never thought. The last bombing of
2020 Chinese-language movies on the cinema chain will come from the "half dead" Hong Kong movie .
"Bomb Disposal 2" is of course a handicraft created by Hong Kong film craftsmen, and it is also a "test item" for these people to break through the stereotype.
In fact, there are only three movies that really put Andy Lau in the villain in reality.
They are: Du Qifeng /Wei Jiahui's "Full-time Killer"; Er Dongsheng's "Disciple"; Liu Weiqiang /Mai Zhaohui's "Infernal Affairs".
Qiu Litao wants to go further.
He wants to force a torn, anxious, chaotic villain. Z2z
bomb disposal expert Pan Chengfeng (Andy Lau) lost his left leg and was disabled for life in an operation. Although
was fitted with a prosthesis after recovery, he also passed various strict physical examinations.
But he still lost the opportunity to charge. Since then,
's temperament has changed drastically, and he is isolated.
Five years later, Pan Chengfeng was accidentally arrested in a large-scale bombing, but the police found that he had lost his memory.
installed? All the suspense in the
movie lies on Pan Chengfeng. "Z6z Bomb Disposal Expert 2" not only writes his true identity, but also writes his choice deliberately. Various contradictory smoke bombs appeared in the
movie: in the eyes of his colleagues, he was the bomb disposal hero who rescued the little girl from the bomber; in the eyes of the crime team, he was a wanted gun suspect with 18 lives on his back. In the eyes of high-level officials, he is again an undercover agent carrying out the anti-terrorism plan on a secret mission.
but asked himself, he said-
"I don't remember."
These together constitute the biggest highlight of the script in the role of Andy Lau: when your identity and memory are already related to millions of lives and deaths. "Who are you" is important. Or, who can you be, who you must be, more important?
"Bomb Disposal 2" as a sequel is by no means a simple production and an upgrade on the big scene blasting. Qiu Litao, director of the
commercial film, finally revealed his sharp side in this film. All of
is achieved step by step through Pan Chengfeng shaped by Andy Lau.
Throughout the film, Andy Lau actually portrayed three characters in the film, even though they are the same person.
Among them, two are disabled. In the
police force, he is sunny and enthusiastic, and he is a typical hero without saving lives. After
was injured, he learned that he would never return to the front line again. He was extreme, pessimistic, sensitive and suspicious.
In this process, you can see the clear inner level of Andy Lau's acting skills.
was unwilling and furious. When he lost hope, his face was indifferent. At this time,
had revenge for him. After
amnesia, he changed another face.
emotionally fluctuated, and became angry and couldn't control his emotions.
The outbreak at this time is completely different from the previous one.
This is another new height that Andy Lau has reached as an actor after "Infernal Affairs".
We have reason to believe that "The Hurt Locker 2" can become a masterpiece in his actor career. This seems to be the return of a Uranus superstar to the beginning, but this kind of return is not a return to the origin, but a spiraling process.
Therefore, "Bomb Disposal 2" is one of the most breakthrough Hong Kong films we can see in recent years. The breakthrough of
is to reorganize our default order and rules under the aura of justice with a dark perspective.
Someone even started to compare "The Hurt Locker 2" with the movie "Joker". The difference is that the former is a simile and the latter is a metaphor.
The latter tells how a person driven crazy by society can be enshrined by mistake in a squeezed and distorted world; the former tells how a "god" created by public opinion should do it Go back alone.
Although "Bomb Disposal 2" is limited by commercial and scale considerations, it cannot be as sharp as "Joker". But still moving.
Four, written at the end
remember that Professor Dai Jinhua said that the movie is a kind of spectacle culture in the final analysis, in a space with regular seating and darkness, the stream of light from the projector hits the huge screen in front of you. , All the stories in the world are staged here, sorrow, love and hate, social thinking, and more.
This movie can be seen from multiple dimensions: Inspire young people to think about social issues (the riots in Hong Kong this year), feel the pain and struggle of human nature in the face of choice, experience the flickering light of the fire of justice, and face the self-destruction and redemption of life... ...
Five: One of the tear-jerking plots of the easter egg
film is the scene when Pan Chengfeng (who has died at this time) and Pang Ling met for the first time at the end:
It was an annual meeting of the Hong Kong Police Force. Cup of celebration, the atmosphere is full of warmth.
Pan Chengfeng was holding a red wine glass, walked up to Pang Ling like a gentleman, turned around and sprinkled red wine on Pang Ling's neat police uniform. Pang Ling looked cramped and bowed her head to apologize. At this time Pan Chengfeng smiled:
"It's okay, I did it on purpose, I want you to remember me."
"I don't even know your name, how can I remember you?"
"My name is Pan Chengfeng, bomb disposal expert ."
is over.
