"I don't want to be a product of the environment, I want the environment to be my product......"

With Jack Nicholson's deep voiceover, "The Dead" began to be screened, only to see that the images on the big screen were montaged from a historical documentary, and the Irish gangs and the Italian mafia fought on the streets of New York.

The rhythm of the opening stage seems to be slow, accompanied by the lines of Irish mob boss Frank, the scene is changing, sometimes it is Frank's villainous life, more often it is a child Billy, Colin has different childhood scenes, and then teenagers.

"The road is made by itself, and no one gives you alms, so you have to take it yourself. "The story time is in the past, the children are growing up, and gradually entering the 80s, this period is longer than the audience previously imagined, but there is nothing surprising that they all watched it very attentively, this is by superb performances, just the right editing, detailed pictures, strong atmosphere of the times, philosophical lines, anticipation for the future...... And the rough and bloody R-rated picture really made the audience gradually feel a little psychologically depressed, this is not the sunny version of the magic Yang!

Since it is currently all children and teenagers performing, the audience has not yet seen Ledger and Pete, who are both nominated for Golden Globe Awards, but Nicholson's performance has shocked the audience, and the old clown has played a mild-mannered but actually very threatening gangster vividly, maybe this is just a piece of cake for him.

"Incredible. Christy Lemuel of the Associated Press has already begun to praise it, without it, the film shows all aspects of technology worthy of praise! You must know that the production cycle of "The Dead" is very short, but there is no sloppy place, whether it is photography and color grading, composition, light and shadow, sound soundtrack, etc., all are very serious and exquisite, if it finally proves that the seven Golden Globe nominations are not in vain, it will definitely be nominated for a number of Oscar technical awards, isn't it incredible?

And it is a sigh of relief, the cultural atmosphere exuded by the film is completely American, New York's low-level social flavor, Wang Yang is not trapped in the adaptation of oriental films, nor is he trapped in age experience and simultaneous shooting, under the big style of hard and strong, people can still feel his delicacy.

Looking at Colin's appearance of being rewarded by Frank for doing a little bad deed, and the envy and joy of his accomplices, Billy's depressed appearance because his gangster father wants him to stay away from crime, unable to be with his family for a long time, and being bullied by other children, looking at these two Irish boys, David Edelstein of New York Magazine vaguely feels the invisible tension, the future gangster undercover Colin has a happy childhood and adolescence, and the future police undercover Billy has a definitely not happy growth period.

It's worth noting that Colin was born innocent, Billy was born into a gangster family, Edelstein knew that this was definitely not some puffy start, and Marvelous Young's movies have never been a little fatty, and he felt that this time was too, so what was the point of rendering these for?

"'The Dead' is not an old-fashioned or new-school gangster film. Previously, in the media conference, Wang Yang commented on it. This is the case, if "Infernal Affairs" is a police and bandit wit film, the B version of "Infernal Affairs" is an old-fashioned gangster film, and the flame version of "The Dead" focuses on everything in between, Wang Yang said at the time: "It will have a small part of gangster crime content, but in terms of theme, it is about identity and good and evil, two undercover agents are affected and changed by the environment, in any case, its entertainment is very high, a thriller drama." ”

Looking at the images on the big screen and the audience around her, Nancy smiled with enjoyment on her face, she has worked hard for so long, and it is for this moment of harvest!

This passage is certainly not without effect, on the contrary, it plays an important role in the whole film and the discussion of the theme, and when the work conveys the intention, she listens to the magic Yang a lot.

"People are a product of the environment and education. This is the famous thesis put forward by the 18th-century French materialist philosopher Elvé, and Holbach, Robert Owen and others also have the same view, this proposition is that people's moral quality and intelligence are not innate, but are caused by acquired environment and education.

It is the inevitable logical conclusion of a series of philosophical views on human nature and the source of spirit and ideas by Elvis et al., only in terms of moral good and evil, they start from the point of view that man is a special form of material existence and therefore has its own immutable law of activity, and that man has an eternal and unchanging natural nature, that is, self-love (selfishness and self-interest). There is nothing good or evil about "self-love" itself, and what makes it morally good or evil lies in the social environment.

The philosophers speak of a very large social environment, including the political and legal systems of the society, and in short, the influence of the wide range of aspects that people are exposed to in their life experiences, and in the case of Colin and Billy, the small neighborhood of New York in which they grew up.

In this argument, man's moral motives and ends are closely linked to man's interests, and as long as a certain virtue is encouraged and rewarded, people will tend to be virtuous and good in accordance with their desire and nature to pursue personal happiness; therefore, a good political and legal system is adapted to man's nature, punishing evil and promoting good, because they make man and society good; on the contrary, doing good deeds will not end well, and if people kill people and set fire to the gold belt, they will turn to evil.

In other words, what you do and how you do it can be praised and recognized by everyone, and you will get benefits, and you will like and pursue what to do, and do that, and people will be influenced by the environment unconsciously.

So at this time, Colin's consciousness thinks that evil is good, although he can read smart enough and has good grades, he can not go to the underworld, but he agrees to be an undercover gangster, while Billy thinks that evil is bad, he wants to be a policeman and get rid of the embarrassment of his ancestors.

"When I was your age, people would say that we were either police officers or criminals, and what I'm going to tell you today is, when you're faced with a loaded gun, what's the difference?"

What blurs good and evil is life, death, and power. Seeing the age jump camera appear, the story reached the police academy period of the two, Nancy circled her chest and leaned comfortably on the back of the chair, she knew that the show had just begun.

"Bang bang!" Under the montage of different points in time, Billy and Colin were enrolled in the police academy respectively, and after the police academy was the state police academy, a gunshot rang out in 3765 North American theaters, and the audience was already in high spirits, Heath Ledger and Michael Pitt appeared! You can feel their personalities from the styling temperament, and their police academy clips are also well expressed, the humorous and peaceful Billy, the high-profile and arrogant Colin, the two each know a good friend, black Brown and white Barrigan.

"Wow, they're pretty cool in police uniforms!" There are many fans who are nymphomaniac, and Evelyn is one of them, and she continues to praise her friend Kelly: "Amazing Young really chooses actors!" Kelly nodded, and Evelyn said: "I really want to see Magic Young look in a police uniform." Kelly nodded again.

Soon, the two went on different paths, Colin who graduated earlier became plainclothes in the police department, I don't know if there was any secret help from Frank, he made many meritorious achievements, mixed very well in the police station, and was popular with everyone, but now Billy, who is about to graduate, is favored to be an undercover agent, in the police office, accompanied by the police officer Tignam who is full of swear words and mockery, the chief police officer Quinnan asks him: "Do you want to be a police officer, or do you look like a police officer?" Do you want to enjoy the benefits of being a police officer, or do you really do something right?

"Oh my God, this guy is so annoying!" Many viewers couldn't help but muttered and scolded Tignam, but since he had this power, it was needless to say how well he acted! Critics thought it would be Wahlberg's most impressive performance! And Spacey had enough to praise him.

Maybe he had a choice, maybe he didn't, Billy took on an undercover mission, but nothing good happened, when he lost his status as a police academy trainee, became a criminal, became a gangster, beat people and intimidated people...... The changes in his life made him more and more stressful, and when he was alone, he was often irritable and depressed, and his emotions were about to collapse, and he gradually developed insomnia symptoms.

Here Billy is becoming more and more depressed, and over there Colin is becoming more and more cheerful, not only for meritorious promotions, but also for dating and falling in love with a beautiful colleague, he gradually gets used to and likes to be a police officer, and more and more annoyed Frank.

Fast forward years, and as Billy arrives at the psychiatrist's office for an interesting conversation, the audience finally gets to see all four big names perform, all with perfect marks!

Heath Ledger vividly plays Billy's layers of bad changes and calm sophistication, and that trace of loneliness and depression is even deeper into the bones, and there is no more expressive insomnia pain than him; Michael Pitt plays Colin's high-profile and flamboyant street gangster style to the calm and mature police officer's many changes, and the annoyance of Frank and the cold depression revealed by protecting his identity is also to the bone.

"Awesome!" In the opinion of Stephen Wre of the Newark Star Chronicle, the two are definitely worthy of the Golden Globe Award nomination, and next year's Oscar nomination should be unhindered, and with the current situation, they will undoubtedly be the hottest candidates, but I don't know who will have a higher voice, because they are all so good!

"It's a pity, it's a pity......" George Lucas, who came to see "The Dead" for Portman and Ledger's rivalry play, sighed again and again, and quietly regretted it in his heart, his beard turned a lot whiter in an instant, and the original choice decision was really wrong! Anakin should be Heath Ledger!

Wonder Jan is really a man with magic powers! Seeing these magical performances, several movie fans are the most happy, such as Knightley fans, sure enough, working with Wang Yang will not suffer losses, there is no need to worry about messing up, they have seen Knightley's other charming style, which is in "Pirates of the Caribbean", "Pride and Prejudice" and other films have never had a cold and sassy; Natalie proved that Harvard University is not in vain, and proves that partnering with Fantastic Young has infinite magical power, why is her performance always full of explosive power?

These two women are fully qualified to be nominated for the Golden Globe Awards and other Film Critics Association Awards for Best Supporting Actress and so on!

"A sparkling cast. Seeing this, Andrew Salis of "The New York Observer" has already thought about the overall evaluation of the actors' performances in his film reviews, and the best cast of next year's Screen Actors Guild Awards, more than ninety percent of the chance is "The Dead".

Halfway through the screening, I don't know when it started, there was a tense and terrifying atmosphere in the screening room, after a case of capture and anti-capture, the police and the gang realized that there was a ghost! They launched an internal investigation, and the film gradually pushed to the ** part, Billy tracked Colin on the street for a while, which made the audience's hearts beat faster, Evelyn was a little out of breath, but soon, she screamed in surprise with "ah-", and then covered her mouth with her hands!

"Bang Bang!" I saw on the big screen, Officer Kunnan fell from a dilapidated high-rise building and smashed into the alley, blood splashing wildly! Billy, who was almost hit, was stunned.

"Oh-huh", "Wow!" The audience exclaimed, frightened by this sudden cruel scene! The dimly lit environment and the unbearable atmosphere of surprise pushed up the trembling of the string in their hearts, and the gentle and kind Officer Kunnan died. Most of them haven't watched "Infernal Affairs", and they don't like spoilers and won't inquire in advance, so now it's really unexpected, the R-rated magical Yang is really not easy to mess with!

Billy on the big screen looked at the top of the tall building in shock, and walked up to Quinnan with a dull face, his face turned red in an instant, his lips trembled, he gasped with difficulty, and he couldn't say anything, just blindly and unconsciously said: "FUCK, HAT-THE-FUCK......"

Ledger's powerful appeal suddenly made the audience feel depressed, the gang had already killed many civilians before, and this time the death of the police officer who represented justice was even more painful! Especially the trace of warm care that Quinnan gave to Billy was still in front of him, he was like a hateful and respectable elder, after all, how could the audience, who had already stood in the camp of good guys, not be sad? What's more, his eyes were moist, and he sighed.

The die-hard fans of "Infernal Affairs" among the Chinese international student audience are a little disappointed, and it is much worse than the Hong Kong version! There is no slow motion, no soundtrack, only a pool of blood, and the artistic conception is too bad! What is Magic Yang doing?

WITHOUT WAITING FOR EVERYONE TO THINK ABOUT IT, THE STREETS AND ALLEYS ON THE SCREEN ARE JUST CHAOS, THE POLICE AND THE GANGSTERS EXCHANGE FIRE, THE GUNSHOTS AND "FUCKING" SCOLDING CONTINUE, SOME PEOPLE ARE SHOT AND BLEEDING, SOME PEOPLE FALL ...... "Oh, ANOTHER DEATH!", "GOOD DEATH, FINALLY DEAD!" Soon there was a major twist in the story, relying on the undercover information provided by Billy, the police surrounded the gangsters who were trading illegally at the construction site in one fell swoop, and after a fierce firefight, in no one's place, Colin killed Frank with his own hands, maybe there was never any affection between them, maybe there was a little bit of looking at Frank's body, although Colin was expressionless, but anyone could see that he was relaxed, as soon as Frank died, no one else knew his undercover identity, or the matter was not over.

However, Billy found out that Colin was an undercover gangster! If he didn't find out, the most likely thing would be for Colin to restore his identity, and he could continue to be a cop or not, and everyone would be fine, but he found out! After handing over some evidence to a psychiatrist just in case, Billy asked Colin to meet him on the rooftop of the building where Quinnan fell, and at the same time notified Brown, a black policeman, to bring Tignam to arrest him.

"Whew-" Many viewers exhaled, the tight and fast pace of the film made people's minds unable to calm down even half a minute, and the critics realized that the best part was coming soon!

"FUCK-YOU!FUCK-YOU!!" LOOKED AT THE DILAPIDATED ROOFTOP, WHERE THE BRUISED BILLY BEAT AND SCOLDED COLIN, AND THE AUDIENCE IN A SCREENING ROOM HAD DIFFERENT EXPRESSIONS, SOME FELT EXCITED, NERVOUS AND EXCITED, AND SOME WERE DISAPPOINTED. The scene on the rooftop is plain and powerful, with Brown coming, Tignam on paid leave does not appear, and Billy has to hold Colin hostage downstairs, he has proof!

The elevator descended layer by layer, and the voice of Colin, who was in a trance, trembled a little: "Give me a chance, PLEASE, PLEASE." Billy couldn't help laughing: "How can I give you a chance?" Colin said softly: "I used to go the wrong way, I wanted to be a good person......" Billy was about to say something, the first floor arrived, the elevator door slowly opened, bang——! gunshots burst out, Billy's head fell back, and a blood flower exploded!

"Ahh

At this time, I saw the usually honest and honest Barrigan into the camera, could it be a manslaughter?! Before the regret of the audience with this idea arose, they saw Brown coming out of another elevator, and before he could react to Billy's death, Barrigan, who was handcuffed Colin, raised his hand and shot him, and Brown——!, who was shot in the head, fell to the ground with a bang, bleeding and dying.

"Do you think you're the only one who is inside? Castro was going to betray us to the FBI, and we're all in this together, you know?" Barrigan said as he stepped out of the elevator to find out if Brown was dead, and many viewers in front of the screen gasped, this guy turned out to be an undercover gangster! At this time, Colin took out a white cloth to clean the fingerprints, and the stupid Barrigan really gave him the gun, and bang——! Billy shot Barrigan in the head, and another blood burst out.

All of a sudden, there were three bodies lying on the concrete floor, only Colin was still standing, he calmly cleaned out his fingerprints, put the gun down and walked away quickly.
