In 1986, Er Dongsheng transformed into a director to shoot "The Legend of the Epileptic Guy" and became famous in one fell swoop, and I believe that the "Epileptic Guy" played by Liang Chaowei in it has left a deep enough impression on everyone.
In 1987, his second cooperation with Er Dongsheng in "People's Heroes" made him win the first Academy Award in his life, in the film, he played the fledgling bank robber, which won him the Hong Kong Academy Award for Best Supporting Actor;
In addition to Liang Chaowei that year, Jin Yanling in the film only appeared for ten minutes, but she also performed well in the scene where she confronted Dillon, and the momentum once crushed the kidnapper Dillon armed with a gun, and finally won the favor of the judges, winning the Academy Award for Best Supporting Actress in one fell swoop.
The movie can be called the Hong Kong-style interpretation of the American movie "Hot Afternoon", a righteous Dillon under the operation of Er Dongsheng, challenging the image of "Gangster", the effect is surprisingly good, but it is more regrettable that he did not get a movie emperor, but this did not affect the charm of Brother Long.
01, the blackest bank robber in history
Xiao Lao (Liang Chaowei) and Lao Yi (Huang Bin) go to the bank to rob together, but Lao Yi is too worried, nervous and sweaty, seeing that Lao Yi has signs of sheep madness, Xiao Lao wants to dispel the idea of robbery and help him go back.
But the matter of throwing the street came, the old man was still a sheep with a seizure, fell to the ground, the clerk Lin Boyi helped him to the sofa, and the old lady who fried gold on the side was kind enough to give him medicine oil.
The little guy accepted the kindness of the stranger in a weak heart, and was more determined to leave, while helping the little guy to go, but he did not expect that the bag in his hand was broken, the gun inside also fell out, and the others were frightened when they saw the gun in the black hole hole.
The Indian security guard raised his gun and prepared to move, but he did not expect the young man to preemptively shoot and directly hit the hand of the security guard, which was good, and he did not want to rob it.
The sound of gunfire alarmed everyone, Hong Kong is a small place, the police received the alarm, quickly rushed to the scene, three times five except to surround the scene, the small guy can not go through the front door, the back door can not go out, he is finished.
Liang Chaowei really acted very realistically, and because of his young age, his skin was tight, and the whole person revealed a green breath, and the heart weakness, panic and intolerance of the first robbery were all well interpreted by him.
Hong Kong-style swear words add a bit of black humor to the character, and what is more interesting is the reaction of the old man when he wakes up, the first time is not thinking about how to escape the police siege, but scolding the young man to leave himself and run away.
Big brother, if you hadn't gone crazy, would you have left a long time ago? Do you need to force the guy to rob on the scalp?
The little guy is also true, knowing that the old sheep is crazy, the courage is small and still takes him to rob, is this not to increase the bugs and difficulties for the first time in his life?
02, the most benevolent "humble bandit" in history
But the little guy and the old man are just two small shrimp rice, the real fierce character is hiding in the hostage, Gu Xiangyang (Dillon) takes advantage of the knife to answer the phone, takes the gun out and points at him.
It turned out that the "hostages" were fake, and the wanted criminals were true, but Gu Xiangyang was also unlucky, and originally planned to rob the bank, but he did not expect that these two idiots had taken the lead and were surrounded by the police, causing themselves to become the real turtles in the urn, Gu Xiangyang was angry and beat the little guys, and then three times five divided the two little minions into the safe.
However, if the little guy and the old man are the blackest robbers in history, then Gu Xiangyang is the most benevolent bandit in history.
He bandaged the wounds of the Indian security guards who had just been injured by the petty guys, and calmed the hostages' emotions! If the hostages want to call, they will line up one by one, which also blinds the police on the side of the telephone monitor, and the hostages actually have the leisure to report to their families for safety?
Later, in order to threaten the police, Gu Xiangyang fired a shot at will, but did not hit the hostage, but he frightened the fat man (Ye Rongzu) with a heart attack, but soon he gave the fat man first aid and saved him.
For a moment, I couldn't tell whether this was the scene of the kidnapping or the relatives pulling the family routine, the old lady and the fat man's Shanghai wife chatting and playing cards; the pimp was introducing himself to the fat man there, cheap and beautiful;
The most drama in the hostages is the fat man with heart disease, and asked Gu Xiangyang why he wanted to rob, and chatted with him about Jiahe's police film, it turned out that this was still a police film fanatic, and he caught the real bandit, so naturally he had to have a good chat.
The big Jiahe Pictures on the subtitles seems to be Er Dongsheng reminding Jiahe to pay himself (advertising fees).
03, the bank version of the werewolf kill
But the pleasant time always passes quickly, not to mention the time of the robbery scene, Gu Xiangyang because the police refused to let his girlfriend go with him, he started to kill, let the hostages guess "red and white", guess who let who let who die.
As a result, I guessed the high school girl Xiaohong (I took it blindly), but I didn't expect that Xiaohong didn't take advantage of her age for the first time, it was the girl who begged Gu Xiangyang not to kill herself, but blamed the old mother next to her.
If you hadn't speculated in gold all day long, would I have ended up with this picture? I was really killed by you.
Narrow and closed scenes can always amplify the various states of human nature, especially the ugliness of human nature, and the narrow train in "Busan Trip" interprets the various forms of all beings, and the same is true in the bank.
But in order to save her daughter, even if she blames herself, she is willing to die for her, which angers Gu Xiangyang, who instantly straightens the male cancer upper body, accusing the girl of not learning well at a young age, short skirts, full of jewelry, and lipstick, sooner or later will go to sell.
Although at the beginning of the movie, the old lady also scolded her daughter for buying these messy things all day, but when she saw Gu Xiangyang cursing her daughter like this, she still scolded him back.
You scold my daughter, you're going to kill me, I'm going to go back.
The momentum immediately crushed the fierce god Gu Xiangyang, and sure enough, once the child was involved, the woman would be desperate.
Gu Xiangyang still has humanity, chose to let go of the mother and daughter, let everyone guess the boxing again, but the pimp in the hostage is not convinced, there is no need to guess the fist if you have a heart attack, you don't have to guess the boxing when you are shot, the little guy helps you drive, and now even these two women have let go, you play me, come to a pain, it is better to kill me.
Pimps this wave of head-sending operations is really amazing, he is a wall head grass, just found that Gu Xiangyang did not kill heart, began to laugh at his bad luck to the police surrounded;
When the police wanted to blow up the gate, they began to scold the police for not being human, encouraging Gu Xiangyang to pretend to kill hostages and scare the police;
As soon as he saw that Gu Xiangyang listened to his own words, he really wanted to kill himself and began to be afraid to hold his head.
This is a wall of grass that looks at the lively melon-eating masses, bullying the soft and afraid of the hard, and where the wind blows and runs, but there is no shortage of such people in real life.
Watching the drama in the name of persuasion, and then promoting the anger of the abuser, anyway, it will not cause trouble on the upper body, the beating is not their own pain or their own, after watching the good drama, just pat their butts and leave.
This kind of person is more hateful than the wanted criminal Gu Xiangyang.
04, the end of the kidnappers
Chen Sir (Liang Jiahui) struggled to get Gu Xiangyang's girlfriend to come out, but his girlfriend refused to go with him, and Director Zhang (Qin Pei) on the side had a feeling that it was not a big deal to see the hilarity.
Director Zhang didn't care about the hostages at all, he just wanted to kill Gu Xiangyang on the spot, so that he could show off his might in front of the reporters at the scene, and then enjoy a promotion and salary increase.
So obviously it was the scene of the kidnapping, but he gave money to let his subordinates buy coffee, a picture of a large amount of money, as if in a safe police station;
Obviously, there were two stupid robbers inside, a total of eleven hostages, he dared to let the swat police blow up the gate, he was not afraid of the hostages being killed, and the plan in his heart was that the hostages were dead anyway, not his subordinates, and it was a big deal to say that the kidnappers killed well.
Gu Xiangyang in the bank saw that his girlfriend refused to go with him, and directly took the hostage as a meat shield on the van that the police put at the door, but he was still reluctant to his girlfriend and called his girlfriend to the front.
It turned out that his girlfriend was accused of hiding weapons because she put his gun in the bag, and she was also innocent, and the main reason why she didn't want to go with Gu Xiangyang was that she didn't want to live a life of upheaval and displacement.
She did not want to live a life of hiding with him after escaping, not to mention that even if she got into the car, she would probably be killed by the police as an accomplice, and no one wanted to gamble with her life and future happiness.
The film soon ushered in a climax, the young man planned to turn himself in, and Gu Xiangyang also wanted to stay with his girlfriend, so he shot in the sky, and Director Zhang, who was waiting quietly, also immediately ordered him to be killed on the spot.
Died heroically and heroically, really just like the movie title "People's Hero", Gu Xiangyang really loved his girlfriend and would choose to commit suicide in this way.
But in fact, I thought that what Gu Xiangyang did before was only to relax the vigilance of the hostages, and then kill them all, which was in line with the depressed and heavy tone of Er Dongsheng's previous film noir, and I did not expect that he would end the whole film in such a warm and bloody way.
Dillon interpreted a lecture on the morality, will be ashamed of killing the police wanted criminals, there is flesh and blood, let me lament that year's Academy Awards film emperor why did not have him.
The image of the policeman and the gangster in the film is reversed, which makes me sympathize with the bandit, which really embodies the anti-traditional meaning and shows the audience a different perspective of the police-bandit relationship.
If "Hot Afternoon" is a clear social mirror of society; then "People's Hero" is Hong Kong's unique righteousness and vengeance. (Author: Song Juhan)
