"Breaking Point", as a Hong Kong-level film that has not been seen in mainland theaters in the past five years, has been screened for a few days, and it is a consensus that the scale is large and all members are crazy.
The drug dealer caught the undercover agent, forced him to feed him drugs, and went undercover as a policeman, almost insane.
In this scene, when running a roadshow, William Chan said that the cave was going to be blasted, the air was thin, and he needed to roll in the mud, and the plot was that he was forced by his opponent to feed drugs one by one, and his face and nostrils and mouth were full of powder. In the end, the eyes were all red and it was not a special effect, and he was crazy) The drug lord's brother ** committed suicide, and the police used ashes to commemorate their colleagues.
All the police officers were brutally killed by drug lords.
Explosive, exciting, crazy, sinister.
What has not been seen for a long time is that Liang Luoshi, who has not met for a long time, made his comeback for the first time in a commercial film. This time, she played the role of a deadly drug lord, standing on the opposite side of police and justice represented by Bang Sir (played by Zhang Jiahui).
But after watching the whole film, you will find that whether it is the anti-drug police sir of the righteous side or the drug maker Yingxiu, they all show enough sense of nothingness.
Because, their core identity is a derelict father and a powerless mother.
Yingxiu took her 14-year-old daughter from the Golden Triangle to Hong Kong to complete the goods transaction.
However, her 14-year-old daughter was in a rebellious period, and she made friends with local *** hooligans on the Internet early, just arrived at the hotel, and left.
In the nightclub carnival, the hooligans took advantage of their unpreparedness and secretly drugged them, causing evil consequences.
The hooligans extorted 1 million from Yingxiu, and she went to the meeting alone, however, this was only the beginning of the nightmare.
On the other hand, Zhang Jiahui abides by his principles and is bent on pursuing drug dealers and avenging his brothers.
waited for the news that his son was making trouble everywhere and breaking the arm of the eldest son.
**The boss has coveted the drug trade for a long time, this is the best time to negotiate, in the face of principles and family affection, where does Bangsir go?
When Bang Sir took his son away from the boss, the news rushed in, and he was questioned by long guns and short cannons whether he was using public power for personal gain. At that moment, he wrapped his son tightly in his clothes and faced all this resolutely and alone, but this was only the beginning of the tragedy).
For Yingxiu and Zhang Jiahui, all their breaking points are essentially family.
However, it is the fate of Bangsir and Yingxiu that the two children have become like this.
When we look back at Bang Sir's career setting, an anti-narcotics policeman, with his profession, will leave home at any time, and when he is on a mission, he can't be distracted and his life hangs by a thread.
He was able to give his family too little time and attention.
And based on the characteristics of his profession, he may also have an instinctive fear that being too close to his family will drag him down
This contradiction is natural, and the principles of the professional man and the instinct of the father are in conflict.
But he didn't realize that all his behaviors, interpreted in the child's interpretation, were loveless, indifferent, and abandoned.
The father is on the way to carry out the task, and the child is in the loneliness of disappointed expectations again and again, waiting for the dawn that will never come.
The so-called rebellion and bad behavior are just extreme ways to exchange for his father's attention and express his anger.
Let's take a look at the show.
She and her husband are in prison in the Golden Triangle, her husband dies, and she herself is controlled by drug dealers.
On the surface, he is prosperous and wealthy, and he is respected, but he has lost his conscience and accumulated evil retribution.
Her daughter has long had enough of this kind of horrific control called love but captivity, and she has also had enough of seeing blood and killing every day.
Everything Yingxiu did was to protect her daughter and survive, but how could her daughter understand?
Her disappointment in fate is probably because being born in a drug lord's family is itself an original sin.
The movie is called "Breaking Point", Lin Chaoxian explained, this is a kind of tipping point of human emotions, "In addition to the difficulty of the action, the most important thing is that the characters in the story are facing a lot of impact in their hearts, and they may have to be in one from time to time."'Loss of mind'in the state".
Indeed, throughout the movie, you can smell blood through the screen.
The bandit car dragged the police, and the police were directly thrown into a pulp, and then all kinds of explosions, fires, poisoning, bomb digging, extortion, car chases in the downtown area, rooftop parkour, mud fighting, hand-to-hand combat and ...... each other
But this time, what is more explosive than the visual explosion is the emotional blow.
Jiang Ming (played by William Chan), who regards Bang Sir as his family, almost went crazy, just to prove his innocence and not disappoint Bang Sir.
The policeman who avenged his father finally did not recover, and he witnessed his father being tragically **.
Even the absolute villain Han Yang (played by Tan Junyan), who chose to avenge his younger brother, has thousands of ways to get out, but as long as he doesn't take revenge, he can't move a single step.
The most maddening thing is family in the end.
This time, the most charming part of the temperament of Hong Kong films is all over-the-top and crazy, and it all stems from the ties given by family and family.
The contradiction between career and family is a plot driving force for police and gangster films.
Many Hong Kong police officers can't have a complete home in the movie.
New Police Story", the villain Azu is the son of the chief superintendent, and the chief superintendent, who has always been fair and impartial, will actually cultivate a "murderer" son, Azu** kills people based on revenge for his father who has not been at home since he was a child, regards himself as a face, and reprimands and insults at every turn.
Hong Kong police officers can't even have a normal love.
In Bomb Disposal Expert 2", Pan Chengfeng boldly showed his love and decisively came together with Pang Ling. As he had an accident and was fired from the police force, he became indifferent in order not to implicate Pang Ling. In the end, he wrote "I love you" to Pang Ling before he died, and Pang Ling also witnessed him being blown to pieces during the bomb disposal process from the telescope.
This kind of cruelty is generally promoted as an auxiliary to the plot, but it rarely becomes the main contradiction throughout the plot.
Lin Chaoxian in "Breaking Point" obviously did it intentionally.
Everyone's limit state, motivation to fight, and powerless essence have all returned to the original point, the bond of family.
Even the villain Han Yang, Lin Chaoxian specially gave a character biography, there is also a larger drug trafficking organization behind them, and the leader of the organization adopted the Han Yang brothers back then, and when they grew up, they were forced to "repay the favor" and participate in drug trafficking.
Losing his younger brother, Han Yang lost his survival coordinates. "How did my brother die, I want all your brothers to die in the same way. ”
Behind those cruel acts is desperation, so from his point of view, tell the story of "Breaking Point" again, his motive may just be "do all the dirty things, at least brother together, at least I can finally protect my brother".
This can also explain that he chose to give up on himself to a certain extent at the end of his life, and the last sentence in front of him was "family is the most important".
The advance screening of "Breaking Point" in the "Sister Yi Viewing Group", a reader said it very well:
Throughout the film, the most out-of-control part has nothing to do with speeding cars and **.
It is the weakness and fear from the heart of the family that is shaken after the smallest unit of the family is shaken, and in the end, the home is completely destroyed.
It's a change that's quietly happening.
Once upon a time, the Hong Kong films we liked were absolutely heroic, referring to the kind of happiness and enmity of "The True Colors of Heroes", and the wanton arrogance of brothers from all over the world.
At that time, freedom came first, and fetters were shameful.
Like Hao Nan in "Crazy Boy", it is difficult to become an idol today, the little mute surrenders himself wholeheartedly, hands over his fate to love, and finally dies for love, women in the new era will interpret it as - be wary of love brains, be careful of being PUA.
In short, the world doesn't need men to be lonely heroes, and then other family members are matched and applauded.
What everyone hopes is that they all face up to the true desires of their hearts, and that men become softer and more dependent on their families, and there is no shame.
The last scene of "Breaking Point" is very shocking, not only a spectacle, but also a kind of nothingness.
After that scene, Bangsir surrounded himself, in the middle of a withered mountain with no grass, surrounded by gray, no hope, no life, and no light.
The camera gradually zooms out, he gets smaller and smaller, and it seems, desolate and lonely.
A home was completely lost.
What will he miss in that moment?
He may remember the taste of sugar water that his grandmother cooked for him when he was a child, the taste of his mother's hug when he first felt fear, and the magical experience of a child croaking to ......the ground
Fragments that were once dismissed, but remembered by muscles and feelings.
It's certainly not glory, and at the end of life, we just want to belong.
What is Home?It is the last carrier of all our life memories.
Whether it is Bangsir or Yingxiu, in the end they stood on the same position and lost my home forever.
Lin Chaoxian blurred the camps of both the pros and cons, who wins in the end is not the biggest suspense point, the biggest suspense point is -
They have completely lost their home, do they still have the motivation to live?
This is the real explosion of "Breaking Point", and it is also Lin Chaoxian's keen insight into the times.
Finally, I would like to share a quote that I like very much to end the whole article.
When we call a man as a lover, he carries all our passions. When we call a person as a family member, he carries all of our life experiences. ”
Please learn to cherish.
