"If it is said that this is a police film, it is better to say that it is an art film and a philosophical film."
"The psychological speculation of the characters, the inner contradictions, the ups and downs of the plot, and the unexpected ending. I think many people should be like me, they didn't understand it at all the first time, because there are many key points in this story that affect the ending, and the director buries it very deeply, specifically as a shot, a look, and an obscure dialogue. β

Feng Xiaogang.
Senior director in the Mainland.
With the assembly number filmed last year, he successfully won the Golden Rooster Award for Best Director.
After seeing the horror of Infernal Affairs being released on Hong Kong Island, he decided to go to Hong Kong Island to see it for himself.
What is so good about this movie? Why did it get such a high rating.
On the other hand, the box office of the night banquet released during the Spring Festival was seriously lower than expected.
Feng Xiaogang, who wore a peaked cap and a black cotton jacket, walked into a movie theater on Hong Kong Island accompanied by his assistant.
Two movie tickets cost a full 600 Hong Kong dollars.
I can't even think about it.
Movie tickets can also be fried.
The film begins with countless Buddha statues, like a scene of purgatory on earth.
"Director Feng, it seems that the opening is very ordinary."
The assistant whispered.
Feng Xiaogang didn't speak.
A good film is not something that can be seen at the beginning.
Of course, his previous cameo to let the bullets fly was an exception.
The opening is a classic.
The screen turns.
Hong Kong Island actor Zeng Zhiwei appeared.
He was burning incense and worshipping Buddha in a temple.
When he got up, there was a row of young men with young faces in front of him.
After saying a paragraph, everyone knew his identity.
Gangster boss.
The row of young people in front of him was actually the undercover agent he was going to break into the police academy.
"Director Feng, this start is surprising. The gangster undercover police academy is surprising, and I finally know why it can't be released in the mainland. β
Feng Xiaogang was silent.
At least from the current point of view, I can't see what is good about this movie.
The screen turns.
Yu Wenle, who plays the role of young Chan Wing-yan in the police academy, appeared.
With exquisite skills, he deserves the arrogance of the police academy and the appreciation of Officer Huang.
Chen Guanxi, who played the role of teenager Liu Jianming, also performed well in the police force, and his shooting bullets were not missed.
The camera switches again.
The results were astonishing.
Chen Yongren, who performed well, was actually sent to the gang as an undercover agent, and was also expelled from the police academy.
So Chen Yongren started his gangster journey.
smashed and robbed, all kinds of bad things were done, and won the appreciation of the gang leader.
At the same time, Liu Jianming, a gangster member who is undercover in the police force, also performs well and is frequently promoted.
