The cinema is also waiting for the first explosion!
I have seen posters of this movie on the road many times.
always marvel with a "wow".
finally.
This exclamation fell:
" Detective War "
Detective VS. Sleuths
Poster attracts Sir not only those elements that are amplified.
Top Hong Kong film cast:
Director Wei Jiahui , plus Liu Qingyun , Raymond Lam , Charlene Cai , Li Ruotong ...original.
Visual provocation:
Wei Jiahui himself admitted that this is the most expensive movie he has ever made in , and he became a light that does not "save money" in one fell swoop.
and, if you go to IMAX version, it will be more exciting.
above are expected.
instead, the fierceness of the poster design language, which makes Sir, a Hong Kong film, unable to help but rise.
Liu Qingyun's four twisted faces.
corresponds to four exclamation marks that are completely unmodified :
"Hard! So cool! Evil! Rare!"
movie background deserves such a big tone:
"Flying corpse case", "floating corpse case", "cooking corpse case", "demon police case" that once appeared on the streets and alleys of Hong Kong... Each was taken out separately, which was amazing.
"The Detective War" wants to stuff them all into a film.
But Sir still wants to remind you to be "warned" that person.
Director Wei Jiahui.
He once showed the extreme madness and soberness of human nature in the Hong Kong drama " Great Era "; he explored subtle Zen and philosophy in " Great Master "; not to mention that when he partnered with Johnnie Johnny, he achieved a precise balance of logic and brains in the script.
What is he especially good at?
"Say it all the way around".
If you say, the curiosity on the poster is the mystery he gave.
Then, the answer is truly spectacular.
Iceberg hidden under the water.

ezing people
This is a movie where everyone is "ezing".
In the story, the epileptic man is the protagonist.
"Detective War" trailer, "He" always repeats a sentence:
I am a Detective
I am a Detective
I am not a crazy
His name is Li Jun.
This city is an inconspicuous "psychopath", but once, he was the majestic "detective" of the West Kowloon Crime Team.
is that it has a unique way of solving cases.
He told the public that can see the "ghost" in the murderer's heart, and even the ghost can be on the body in one second, thereby restoring the case.
no one believed it, but he was also doing it randomly. After all, the case-solving rate is indeed surprisingly high.
Until the "Demon Police Case" that caused a sensation in the city appeared.
At the press conference of the "Demon Police Case", he put his pistol into his colleague's mouth and "restored the case" through the ghost again.
After that, everyone's eyes:
Li Jun is the most dangerous "ghost".
West Kowloon is missing Li Jun.
However, there is an "detective" on the streets of Hong Kong.
He was wearing an old coat and riding a broken bicycle, wandering around the city to find the so-called real murderer of the unjust case.
Even if his daughter runs away from home and is displaced, he still cannot let go of his attachment.
Relying on memory, he wrote all the case information he had handled in the police station for many years and the name of the murderer in his new residence:
under the bridge.
pair.
Johnnie and Wei Jiahui collaborated on a film called "Detective". Li Jun's character has many similarities with Chen Guibin 15 years ago.
This film also has many familiar "self-salutes":
So many years have passed, the "detective" is still persistent:
In order to pursue the truth, he can bury himself alive and roll down the stairs, either jump out of the turbulent water flow, or just hold a fake gun in his hand, and you can pass through the bullet rain of bullets...
He is an epileptic.
But it is also this kind of epileptic that gradually evokes the " ghost (obsession) " in everyone's heart.
As the director, Wei Jiahui obviously also has his obsession.
Why did it restart again 15 years later?
In the interview, he firmly said to the camera:
I want to film Hong Kong Temple Street
colleagues strongly opposed it after hearing this.
miao Street has a large flow of people, and the street stalls and shops are very crowded, and the distance between buildings is particularly dense.
can you set up a shed to take pictures.
Director Wei was still a "spooky" to the end, "There are so many colleagues who spoil me."
This scene was really shot in the temple street.
In addition to the complex shooting scene.
Director Wei also took out his specialty in the screenwriter industry "Flying Paper Crazy" - the actors came to the filming scene and got the script to shoot that day.
It gives directors and screenwriters more freedom on the set, allowing the plot to change rapidly with the picture and is elusive.
Wei Jiahui also retains his freedom of expression and creation as much as possible in this way.
actors also "epied" together.
When the heroine Asa first came, she was "amazing" by the crew.
Only after starting work every day do you know what to do after you start working— "Oh, you want to jump off the building today? OK!"
A Sa plays Chen Yi in the movie, a West Kowloon policewoman, and she also has a painful experience. (What is it, keep it confidential first)
There is a scene where Sir is feeling distressed:
A Sa's body is covered with scars and special makeup, with plastic wrap on his head, and in a smelly canal floating with garbage, he struggled repeatedly and ran away.
let alone Liu Qingyun.
Liu Qingyun was included in the group, and Director Wei and Meng were deceived to "scam" him.
58-year-old Liu Qingyun was almost scared when he arrived at the scene:
is jumping into the torrent again, and is hanging wire again to shoot green screen , "I have never tried this thing before." Trying is tossing, but fortunately, the effect of is really good.
in and out of the play.
The backbone of these Hong Kong filmmakers has collectively performed the word "epit".
It is not only the reverse and provocation in the image.
in Sir.
is a kind of clumsy "self-torture" for the city of Hong Kong and the film industry.

Crazy
"Detective War" is actually a "human war".
Discussion on "the devil" implements the movie's entire life - traveling through bloody cases, following the protagonists, and stripping away the layers of the devil's coat.
who is the devil?
on the surface, it is the villain organization.
More than ten years after Li Jun left the police force, a group of "detectives" suddenly appeared on the street. They also publicized to the outside world that they were "solving the case", but their tricks were completely different from Li Jun.
This group of "detectives" organizations are composed of the families of victims of previous unjust and wrong cases.
They rely on the case information written by Li Jun under the overpass to find the "real murderer" who was free from justice, and wanted to use the same criminal means to "remove the other person's way."
regained "justice" with lynching.
and every time I leave the word "detective" on the scene.
So Li Jun was very suspicious:
Did he resent because the police force fired him;
was still used by the "detective" team to pull him into his accomplices?
PK between a "detective" and a group of "detectives".
How to find the justice and innocence that should be found in the world again.
is the eye of this movie.
When people strongly demand that "God" come to the world.
but no one thought about it.
Who is the devil?
are the initiators who ignore the dignity of life and create the "butcher case" and "corpse cooking case" and the murderer?
Are those "detectives" gangs who only want to take revenge and use all means?
or Li Jun is still trying to become a "detective" but is backfired by the obsession of "detective"?
pair, no one is completely innocent.
Li Jun once used the means of treating criminals to discipline her daughter, locking her in the car, leaving her indelible resentment in her heart.
actually.
Devil is created by people.
This is also the continuation of the theme of this movie.
15 years ago, "The Detective" exposed the dark side deep in people's hearts through the image of a devil.
though, it's not good-looking.
However, it is particularly real.
15 "The Detective War" is not about catching who the "devil" is.
But how to stop creating the devil.
Li Jun, who is walking on the edge of "crazy devil", has seen the devil twice.
First.
wife depression suicide, which also caused considerable psychological trauma to Li Jun. When executing the task after
.
He saw something with wings, red and golden all over, and exposed fangs squatting in the dark.
Li Jun ignored the danger of his siblings, dealing with the devil wandering between the gaps and shooting wildly.
At this time, he was frightened by the devil.
second time.
Li Jun faces the choice between human nature and demon nature.
He saw TA again.
This time, he faced the demon, and in his eyes, the demon flew away and disappeared into the night sky.
He asked Chen Yi, who was standing beside him, did you see the devil?
Chen Yi said, I saw it.
At this moment, his expression was recognized and relieved after being affirmed - A "madman" pushed to the edge of a cliff by someone else finally found a companion who understood him.
Then, the devil disappeared?
is not that simple.
Two human-demon encounters are just a microcosm of countless choices in our lives.
When you no longer fear it.
instead choose to face and stare at it.
Devil.
actually has another name:

Abyss
The most common lines appear in the movie are from Nietzsche's "The Other Side of Good and Evil".
German original text, Li Jun used this sentence again and again to teach his daughter:
Fight with monsters, be careful to become a monster
There is another half of the sentence, we have all heard:
"You are staring at the abyss, and the abyss is also staring at you."
specifically to the movie.
What is the "Abyss"?
Sir noticed the beginning of "Detective War".
Police investigation, the murder weapon left at the scene was a police gun that was lost before.
is likely to be an insider who committed the crime.
15 years ago, "The Detective" was based on the "Demon Police Case".
Du and Wei did not completely capture the confusing whole process of this case.
instead stop the video at the meaningful "change the gun".
case started with "changing guns", but also ended with "changing guns". The two actions echoed each other for one purpose:
made a story for the audience to cover up the ghost in their hearts.
If "Detective" is a story in which the detective releases the inner demon and always fights it.
Then, "The Detective's War" is when the Detective chooses to coexist with it when the Detective appears.
The abyss swallows everything.
But, it can also always be alert to you.
"Detective" At the end, Chen Guibin held up a gun and wanted to kill the murderer with one shot. A "ghost" also appeared in his mind, a ghost named "detective" was talking to him.
If you kill the opponent.
The next story is that there is no evidence for death.
However, Chen Sir did not escape the end of "ghost covering his eyes".
killed the murderer with one shot.
15 years later. The line
appears again in "The Detective War".
Everyone can become monsters, why can't I become
I am also a human
This time, the selection result is no longer the focus.
The process of inner self-examination is.
Of course, Sir cannot spoil it, but it is recommended that the poisonous fans pay attention to the reflected shots of Liu Qingyun staring at the window glass at the end of the film.
Who is he seeing?
This scene is more like "Li Jun"'s answer to "Chen Guibin" many years later:
With the sudden changes in the environment and the sway of justice, our judgment of the good and evil of human nature no longer stays at a certain extreme situation, but is also the sum of each choice and the reflection after the choice.
I have to say that Wei Jiahui took another step forward. The exploration on the theme of
is of different opinions.
The attempt in image style is obvious.
Director Wei Jiahui still takes the wrong path:
To some extent, this is a self-rebellious movie.
Although it appears to be "changing soup but not changing medicine", it uses the same group of actors and the same character, and even this time the mainland and Hong Kong version is exactly the same.
He is still determined to fight a different battle.
From the gun battle between " Secret Battle " and " Gun Fire ", you will hold your breath and concentrate without wasting a single shot or bullet.
To this day, the hot scenes are in parallel for the opening and closing of commercial films.
He has broken away from the previous minimalism and restraint.
Sir still remember the preview interview session, and Wei Jiahui was asked about the characteristics of "Hong Kong movies" in his mind.
He almost didn't hesitate:
"flexible".
We always miss the "outdated and madness" of Hong Kong films, rendering its curiosity and scale, so we roughly imitate its so-called "Hong Kong style filter".
doesn't know.
The real vitality of Hong Kong films lies in the fact that the creators at that time ignored the secular vision and tried hard to break through the stereotyped filter.
The return of "Detective War" is not only a powerful film in a stable period.
Sir's eyes were even more sober.
, a time when I pretend to be crazy and entertained until I die, can I still tolerate a "crazy man" who is crazy about performance and movies?
This is a "post-truth" era that swallows whole, will it still accept a "fool" who uses doubt as a sword and truth as a gun?
Therefore, that conversation at the end of the movie also points to us.
—Did you see it? There are monsters!
—See it.
This "monster" may be just the imagination of the detective from beginning to end.
Or maybe, it just hides too well in the depths of human nature and wears a delicate mask in the numb status quo.
even what it is doesn't matter at all.
important.
is whether you dare to look at the abyss that everyone can avoid, take off your mask and clear away the fog.
so that you can see yourself clearly.
