Let's talk about the wonderful place first:
1. Still the taste of classic Hong Kong action movies in my memory.
As soon as the film starts, it goes straight to the theme. There is not much plot preparation, and the rhythm is exciting from beginning to end. From identity theft to hacking into the conference system to stealing explosives to rescue hostages; From stealing specific drugs to changing trucks to stealing gold brothers by mistake; From road racing to crazy gun battles, to cell phone imprisonment and dad dying; From the two brothers jointly taking the island to Bill's suicide.
The development logic of the whole story is still a classic Hong Kong drama routine. The plot of the film is wonderful and exciting, and the fighting action is clean and neat. There are as many gun battles, hand-to-hand combat, blasting and cold weapons, and each of the five protagonists has its own fighting style, which makes the whole action play flowing and passionate, which is also one of the biggest highlights of this film.
2. The actors' acting skills are bursting, and the characters' feelings are extremely rich.
The actors are all old-school actors, and their acting skills are useless. The director deliberately used many close-ups of faces to highlight the expressions of the protagonists. When the Lion King was released from prison and watched the volcano in the slum, their eyes were mixed with excitement and guilt. Or when the four brothers saw their father in Kumamoto, the volcano knelt on the ground and cried with his father, feeling sad, self-blaming and helpless; Or the sad but satisfied expression on Bill's face after he realized that he had reached a dead end and let the volcano crush him to death. Every look and every movement of the actor can quickly bring the audience into the plot, which is very rare.
3. Rich scenes, Hong Kong films began to internationalize.
Although "Golden Brothers" is a Hong Kong film, the film scene is not limited to Hong Kong, Hungarians stealing gold, Kumamoto's death, Fukuoka sports car chasing, Montenegro attacking the island, Inner Mongolia, Taiwan Province Province and Beijing passing by.
It not only spans Asia and Europe, but also embodies the characteristics and customs of various countries, and also brings shocking visual effects to the audience, so that the audience can appreciate the charm of different countries.
Brotherhood has never changed, full of homesickness.
The five protagonists are still the original crew of Young and Dangerous, and the familiar smell of classic gangster movies is still on our faces. The eldest brother is still in the position of Ceng Zhiwei, an old opera bone. In the story, there is also a beautiful and gentle sister who is loved by his brothers. The routine of the story has never changed, and the brothers support each other and are full of enthusiasm. Although the young and dangerous people in their twenties have grown up and have their own worries, that kind of feelings, that kind of friendship that will not change, will always be printed on them and in the hearts of the audience.
And why is "Golden Brothers" a slightly inadequate film?
I feel that the expression of the word "brother" in this film is only superficial, but many places that should be metaphors can only be said directly through lines because the details are not handled carefully enough, which leads to the lack of depth and emotion in the film, which is more like feeding the audience with chicken soup for the soul.
In a word, The Golden Brothers is still a good movie, especially for those who grew up watching Young and Dangerous, it is worth going to the cinema. When the former "brothers" sat in the cinema together, watching the familiar faces reappear on the screen and listening to the main theme of "Friendship Day" once again, I believe that every audience who was passionate about youth will burst into tears.
