"Storm" bombed the middle ring, " bomb disposal expert 1" bombed the Hung Hom tunnel, netizens even jokingly said: " Huazi played a few more movies, HK will be bombed out of ."
Wah Chai’s "Bomb Disposal Expert 2" also blew up the remaining landmark buildings Tsing Ma Bridge and Chek Lap Kok Airport.
"Bomb Disposal Experts 2" earned 400 million yuan within a week of its release. It is important to know that the total box office of the first film in 2017 was only 400 million yuan. The current Douban score has reached 8.0, which can be said to be very popular.
After watching the movie, many viewers are not only interested in information such as the small nuclear bomb and the World Trade Center bombing, but they are also curious. That is, how did Hua Tsai's broken leg be filmed?
can't really be sawed. Of course it is impossible to saw
, but that is Liu Tianwang's leg.
But Andy Lau's interpretation is not entirely dependent on post-production. From behind the scenes of the exposure shooting, you can see that Andy Lau really put on a prosthesis in order to achieve a realistic effect.
First, Andy Lau will wrap the calf with green cloth for later processing, and then wear a real prosthesis on the knee.
This kind of fake operation requires the legs to be bent back all the time. You can imagine how uncomfortable this is, let alone running in this posture.
Andy Lau, who was nearly sixty years old, kept falling down and never gave up. He said " is the kind of hard work when everyone is a newcomer: ". Check it out, this is considered professionalism.
Speaking of the movie itself, except for the "model worker" Andy Lau and the powerful Liu Qingyun, Shuang Liu will play the show again. The sincerity of this film is not to harvest fans by fame.
The film has a very fast pace from the beginning. In order to get the audience into the plot as quickly as possible, the director Qiu Litao directly detonated a nuclear bomb in the film. The moment a powerful explosion swept across the airport, it was really a Hong Kong film industrial high. A firework display of high standards.
However, this explosion is just a prologue. The plot begins with a stepped up rhythm, and there are as many as six core explosions.
And Pan Chengfeng, played by Andy Lau, suffered a broken leg in the play and thus had a turning point in his fate, which has a lot to do with a black cat.
It can be said that it was this cat that brought down the bomb disposal expert , this cat was placed high hopes by director Qiu Litao .
"Bomb Disposal Expert" is already a unique IP style. This style is not a simple repetition of the name, Qiu Litao is seeking change.
The first "Bomb Disposal Expert" shows a typical anti-heroism, " no longer has a last-second rescue, no longer has a hero with a perfect ending ". The unconventional method
has reached a certain height, and in the second part, it has gone all the way to black on this road, completely blackening the hero, thus showing the evil and soul in the depths of human nature Salvation. And all this is directly manifested in the film is to implement the turning point through the black cat.
was the second explosion after the movie started before meeting the black cat. The main task of this unit is to lay the groundwork for the front and back conflicts and show Pan Chengfeng's traditional heroic side.
After the robbery, the robber put a grenades in the girl’s hand to remove the insurance. At this time, Andy Lau playsPan Chengfeng played for the first time. The whole bomb disposal process can be said to be a traditional hero. In order to comfort the overly nervous girl, Pan Chengfeng took off his explosion-proof suit and put it on the girl in violation of the rules, and he calmly walked from the scene with a grenade under his arm. Stepping out can be said to be the perfect Superman. The heroism of
is in sharp contrast with the subsequent changes. At the beginning, a hero who was willing to give his life to save others was turned into a gangster who made bombs. This contrast is the most amazing, far more powerful than bombs. After
easily completed his debut show, Pan Chengfeng encountered the "black cat crisis" of his life.
The room where the bomb disposal happened was full of various electrical circuits, like the same "electrical jungle", the dense wiring harnesses were entangled like ropes, which made people very depressing. This dense wiring environment is very strange. The criminals happen to be IT workers?
In fact, this is not that simple. This is a hint, which indicates that the heart of the male protagonist will also face overwhelming distortion and depression.
and the bomb setting this time is also quite interesting, worthy of recollection, and let people see how powerful the screenwriter Li Min is. The
bomb was set up as a two-person linked organization. The two victims were tied to the gravity-sensing bombs in the two rooms. This requires Pan Chengfeng and Dong Zhuowen, played by Liu Qingyun, to dismantle the bomb simultaneously, otherwise it will explosion occurs. The synchronous operation of
not only increases the tension of the movie, but also indicates the connection between the fate of the two people. This also buried another conflict and thinking about Pan Chengfeng's blackening.
is also a hero, why only he changed ? This is a coincidence, or a destiny of character.
finally successfully completed the dismantling. When Pan Chengfeng asked Dong Zhuowen and the others to leave and clean the scene by himself, they encountered the black cat that was kept in the microwave oven. The following actions of
changed his life. When he turned on the microwave unsuspectingly and was about to let the black cat out, the bomb detonated. Pan Chengfeng was bombed beyond recognition, especially his left leg was bloody.
Pan Chengfeng, who lost his left leg, did not give up. He actively recovers and wants to return to the post of bomb disposal expert. But the reality is cruel. Even if Pan Chengfeng worked hard, he eventually lost his job as a bomb disposal expert, which led to the blackening of his character.
Why is the black cat the key to hero blackening ?
The black cat is more like a symbol of the human "dark matter". When it is released, it is like a Pandora's box being opened. The unbalanced heart can no longer carry the good qualities, thus making the hero's heart. Gradually blackened. This blackening of
is thorough. It not only pulls the hero off the altar like the first one, but also completely exposes the "evil" deep in the hero's heart . This is not the first time that the mirroring application of
has appeared in a movie. It appeared in the Korean movie "Influenza" as early as 2013.
Director Kim Sung-soo cleverly used the mysterious animal as a cat when he described a natural and man-made disaster caused by a virus. Through the interaction between the little girl and the cat, the magnificent plot is promoted. From the cat's injury heralding the outbreak of the virus, to finding the cat to make the girl and the virus antibody carrier become friends, so as to plant the seeds for the incident to calm down. Cats play a pivotal role as a medium.
Black cats have a strong self-healing ability. There are many legends about black cats. In addition to the town house in East Asia to ward off evil spirits, it is also known as the "witch spirit" in Europe.
But no matter where it is, what remains the same is its strong spirituality, which is also the main reason why many directors like to use cats to play.because. Mysterious power is uncontrollable, especially a pair of eyes that seem to look directly into the human heart.
cats become a carrier of belief in "Flu". The seemingly complex and cruel world retains the seeds of hope because of the existence of cats. The cat in " bomb disposal expert 2" has also become a kind of "evil". Although given different meanings, it is more of a refraction and epitome of human nature.
When the blackened Pan Chengfeng was injured and lost his memory in the process of planting the bomb, the whole blackening process came to an abrupt end. This kind of sudden fragmentation makes people feel as if they have completed "formatting" and once again returned to the origin of imbalance.
Ni Ni’s girlfriend Pang Ling took the opportunity to trick Pan Chengfeng into lying that he was an undercover agent in the "Fun Day" organization, but the deceptive trick was quickly seen by Pan Chengfeng.
Faced with the criminals' atrocities, Pan Chengfeng, whose soul returned, gradually became sober, completed self-salvation, and decided to personally end his plan. In the end, Pan Chengfeng really saved countless lives with his own lives and returned to the old road of traditional heroes . This reversal of
surprised the audience, but it also gave people a deeper thought.
How did people change? Is it the "black cat" in your heart that broke you, or yourself?
At the end of the film, the Tsing Ma Bridge was broken in the huge explosion of a nuclear bomb, and Pan Chengfeng was also killed. The ending of this kind of falling fireworks is destined to be a tragedy.
As Liu Jianming played by Andy Lau in "Infernal Affairs" said " I didn't have a choice before, now I want to be a good person ". Is there really no choice, or I have to pay it back sooner or later.
After the black cat is released, can it really be locked in again? ? Obviously this is a topic worthy of discussion. Just like the answer given by the director himself, salvation can only be accomplished through amnesia, and the soul can be reborn after washing the soul again. This is the only way to lock the black cat in.
Pan Chengfeng fulfilled his wish to "turn off the cat", but everyone was unhappy because the cost was huge. At the moment when the explosive mushroom cloud rises, I don't know what kind of feeling people will feel, whether they will feel scared, afraid that the black cat in their heart will also be released.
