Just looking at the name of the film "Neuro man", many people will feel that it may be a purely funny and unreliable kind of Hong Kong film, and the protagonists of this film, Eason Chan and Joey Yung, are also actors with absolute comedic talent.
But when the first shot shows a policeman played by Eason Chan and Liao Qizhi walking through the street in the torrential rain. The subtle temperament it exudes in an instant makes me inexplicably refreshed, and I have to praise the photographer of this film, the composition, lighting and so on, very in place. By the time it was known that this gimmicky police clash turned out to be just Eason Chan's meditation, the theme of "Neuroman" is not to describe the police myth but to face the reality has been revealed, if you pay attention to its English title "Crazy and the City", you may be able to appreciate the fate of the city of Hong Kong and the inextricable connection between the characters in the film.
The biggest feature of "Nerve Hero" is full of the texture of life, it can be seen that the screenwriter is inspired and spent a lot of thought, every character in "Nerve Hero" has a group representative, Liao Qizhi, Eason Chan and the three policemen played by Joey Yung represent three stages, Eason Chan has also been as energetic as the newborn Calf Joey Yung, but after seven years of realistic training, he gradually leaned closer to the retirement mentality represented by Liao Qizhi. Wu Zhenyu played by the brother is a victim of Hong Kong's economic decline, under the huge pressure of life to become neurotic and even crazy, such a role for Wu Zhenyu to play is of course the most appropriate, in the like crazy and massage girl Fei Fei began a sad person with their own embrace. The appearance of Hui Yinghong, who plays the sister of Cheng, is a small surprise, as an old drama bone, she played a street newspaper seller aunt, and the stoicism conveyed by Hui Yinghong in a few shots makes people have a little confidence in facing life.
In a film in which the screenwriter and the director are deeply concerned about the supporting roles, what you can feel must be the self-evident sincerity, especially after the friend was killed by the "Rainy Night Butcher", when a group of little girls continued to wrestle and crawl in the judo hall, it is undeniable that the film was handled with a bit of sensationalism, but I immediately thought of Du Qifeng's "Judo Dragon and Tiger List" last year, Du Qifeng's inspirational "Judo Dragon and Tiger List" is an encouragement and mutual encouragement to colleagues in the film industry, and here "Neuroman" The fragment may be seen as a positive response of the younger generation Nguyen Sai Sang to the "Judo Dragon and Tiger List".
Somehow, the hong kong movie inspirational film that laughter has tears, sadness and joy I can never resist, similar to the recent years there are "Old Hong Kong Zheng biography", "Sister Peach", "Thief of The Years", "Precocious", etc., and earlier there are "Money Family", "72 Tenant Series", "McDougal", "Golden Rooster", etc., it is not like Hollywood movies or Japanese dramas, there will always be a deliberate flow of chatter to instill its values in you. Hong Kong's inspirational films have the same fate as the current reality. Perhaps because of being in the same cultural background, it is only because of the dilemma and eternal confidence expressed in Hong Kong films that it is natural to accept.
In addition, the interlude in the film, "If You Kiss Down", is performed by Lin Yilian, which is very good.
In addition, at 20:55 on October 21, 2014, this film review was praised by the director of the film, Mr. Ruan Shisheng, on Weibo, which can blow for a lifetime, hahaha.
