Recently, Zhang Jiahui has released several movies in theaters, but because of time constraints, I only watched one in the theater, and that is the movie "Angry Tide" mentioned earlier.
And another movie, "Breaking Point", waited until *** was launched before I had the opportunity to see the real thing.
And after watching this blockbuster "Breaking Point" starring Zhang Jiahui and William Chan, I did feel a lot of emotion, so I wrote this article to talk about some real feelings about this movie.
An unconventional cop movie!
If you regard this movie "Breaking Point" as a traditional Hong Kong police film, it may also be reasonable.
After all, the elements involved in the film are simple.
It is the traditional struggle between Hong Kong's anti-crime police and drug dealers.
Add elements such as undercover elements, ** flying cars, etc., and the movie takes shape.
But is the movie "Breaking Point" really just a traditional Hong Kong-style police movie?
Director Lin Chaoxian spent so much effort, just want to fry cold rice?
In fact, no, director Lin Chaoxian actually presents a "non-traditional police film" in this movie.
Or to put it bluntly, this movie is not a cop movie.
Rather, it is a "film for adults".
Why do I say this, in fact, it is enough to understand a few characters in the film.
Let's talk about the state police officer played by Zhang Jiahui first. It looks beautiful, but in fact, his life is a piece of chicken feathers.
Let's talk about family relations first, I divorced my wife, my son was not a good person, and I beat the son of the big brother of the underworld into a serious injury in a fight in a bar.
Speaking of workplace relationships, it seems that Officer Bang is very respected, but in fact, he also has his own difficulties.
The boss has always only given orders, as long as the result is achieved, and has never considered his difficulties.
As for the subordinates, they also have their own problems, which need to be dealt with by him, and the most difficult thing is that he doesn't know how to deal with the relationship with the undercover agent.
and then to Officer Jiang Ming played by William Chan, he also has his life problems, because of lack of money, he changed jobs to become a policeman, but after becoming a policeman, he was excluded by his colleagues, and no group wanted him.
In the end, I finally got an opportunity to go undercover, and I thought that I would be able to get a chance if I solved a big case.
But it can still be imagined that the situation is frequent, and in the end he became a wanted target.
Even the drug dealers in the film have their own "midlife crisis".
Poison maker Ah Xiu, her husband died, and she lives alone with her daughter and younger brother.
Who would have thought that after coming to Hong Kong, her daughter was deceived and asked her to bring 5 million to ransom people.
And Han Yang, too.
Almost everyone in the lens has their own ** point, and everyone is entangled by countless things.
Everyone is looking for a breaking point, everyone is desperately struggling.
This is the superlative point of Lin Chaoxian's movie.
portrayed the "breaking point" of each character in the film, and then as the plot progressed, it was pierced and detonated one by one, and this process was absolutely explosive.
Especially when director Lin Chaoxian detonated the breaking point of the "State Police Officer" played by Zhang Jiahui, he really exploded.
When the state police officer was leading the team to spy on the drug dealers, who would have thought that his son was captured by the gang, and in order to save his son, he had to come out temporarily.
But this temporary incident led to the injury and even death of several of his police officers.
And this is just the beginning, in order to really detonate the "breaking point" of this character, director Lin Chaoxian also arranged a scene where the son of the state police officer was burned.
At the last moments, he witnessed his son being burned to death, his men being killed, and the mission still failed.
All the pressures of life and career made him collapse in an instant.
And after the collapse, his anger, his dissatisfaction, is the highest power of this movie.
Of course, in addition to Zhang Jiahui's "breaking point", William Chan's character Jiang Ming was detonated little by little, and the process of being driven crazy a little bit was also portrayed very oppressively.
Of course, what made Jiang Ming feel the impact the most was that Azu forced his daughter with a knife and forced Jiang Ming to put down.
When Jiang Ming shouted that he was your daughter!
But Azu still didn't let go, and still stabbed the little girl.
This shot really made Jiang Ming completely crazy.
And later, when he was forced to inhale drugs and completely lost his mind, his madness and his indiscriminate shooting made people sigh that the content that director Lin Chaoxian wanted to express in this movie was indeed too rich.
All people are ordinary people, and all people are facing crises of one kind or another.
And when this crisis is really ** and really becomes a breaking point, it becomes what the ending of this movie looks like.
All living beings are suffering, and the world is impermanent, this is the theme that Lin Chaoxian's movie wants to express!
