Recently, among the films released in major theaters in China, there is a work that is regarded as a "highlight".
The deep impression that this film brought to the audience can be described by the words "black" and "crazy".
The existence of "black" stems from the story behind it;The reason for the "madness" lies in its unique photographic skills.
Raging Tide" is a cool film that feels unexpected in many ways.
The first thing to mention is that he is the director of the film.
Many viewers may not know much about the name Ma Yuke.
However, whenever a movie or a line is mentioned, viewers quickly develop some memories.
In the movie "Detective Chinatown", Chen He's assistant is the black policeman.
The meaning of that sentence is: "Duan Kun, I've already eaten!."Jesus couldn't keep him either!That's what I said!”
In the movie "Sweeping Drugs", Ma Yuke played the role of the little white hair.
As his first directorial work, "Raging Tide" performed very well after its release.
After only 6 days of release, the movie has already earned more than 12.2 billion, which makes it the box office leader.
The movie "Angry Tide", as a work similar to Hong Kong films, surpassed "Breaking Point" directed by Lin Chaoxian in just three days.
This is like the back waves of the Yangtze River pushing the front waves, and it also shows the future potential of Hong Kong films.
There is actually nothing new in this story, but with many elements of old Hong Kong films.
In a certain country in Southeast Asia, Hongtai Group dominates one side, and there is a complete black industrial chain under it.
As he grows older, the leader of the group, Hong Tai (played by Qin Pei), chooses the most capable of the three apprentices and picks the most suitable successor.
They are Ugo (played by Ma Yuke), Wang Ruopu (played by Lian Kai) and Ovalon (played by Wu Qihua).
Of the three successors, Ugo is undoubtedly the most powerful.
However, Hong Tai ended up choosing Ovalon as his partner.
Unexpectedly, on the rainy night of his upcoming succession, the killer Chen An (played by Cheung Ka Fai) suddenly stormed Ovalon's residence and sent him away without hesitation.
In addition to this, Hongtai was also pursued by Chen An and was sent directly to a medical institution.
Therefore, Hong Tae issued an order to find out who was behind it.
Whether it's rumors from the outside world or speculation within the organization, it's widely believed that Ugo is the work of Ugo.
The reason is very straightforward, Ugo is a very ambitious person, he has made many contributions to the group, so it is impossible to give up the leadership of the group easily.
However, Ugo has a different view, arguing that Hong Tae may have directed and staged a bitter ploy with the intention of getting the three of them into infighting.
Soon after, Hong Tae sends his subordinate George (played by Chen Guokun) to eliminate Ugo.
After Ugo's death, Chen An did not stop his actions, but continued to pursue the people around Hong Tai, and also kidnapped his daughter.
As the storyline develops, two characters hidden behind it also appear.
One of them is Mai Lang Van (played by Nguyen Jing Tien), who is a local police officer but is actually a black cop who has many unknown transactions with Hong Thai in his daily life.
The other is Ma Wenkang (played by Wang Dalu), who is Hongtai's full-time thug with a ruthless personality.
So, what is the connection between these two individuals and Chen An?
In fact, behind all this, there is a little-known past.
From here, it can be seen that the promotional poster for "Raging Tide" has actually conveyed the core theme of the film - revenge.
Compared with the old-fashioned Hong Kong movies of the past, this work does not deliberately create a sense of mystery, but goes deeper layer by layer and shows it directly to the audience**.
In addition, the pace of the narrative is exceptionally smooth.
Although some of the stories are presented in the form of interludes, it is not that difficult to really understand them, in other words, they don't require much thought.
However, the most commendable part of "Tide of Rage" is undoubtedly the high level of fit between the characters.
In the role of Chen An played by Zhang Jiahui, we can feel a trace of the work "Sweeping Drugs".
In addition, the role of the black policeman, Mai Langwen, played by Nguyen Jing Tien, shows two faces in the movie."
Outwardly, he is a ruthless man who keeps company with the tiger, and his muscular lines are complemented by a slightly decadent countenance, perfectly showing the "bad" side.
In fact, he has been hiding another side of himself, especially at the end of the article, which he explains with precision in a close-up way many times.
Chen Guokun's role as George completely subverted his previous image on the screen.
He wears a big back and black glasses, and wears a suit and tie, showing a kind of urbane temperament.
However, when he takes off his clothes, his whole being exudes a creepy "bad guy"-like vibe.
Many people have commented that "Hong Kong films don't look as attractive as they used to be", and frankly, there is a specific reason behind this.
From one point of view, the new ** people do not exist;From another point of view, the subject matter and style are basically similar, and there is not much difference.
However, the work "Raging Tide" seems to offer us a different interpretation.
With the right amount of heart, even traditional subjects can be brought to light with new ideas, rather than simply filling old wine in new bottles.
Overall, Rage was a huge success at the box office, which made me realize that Hong Kong films finally have a successor.
