Little Brother Ma and the big sister of the underworld have a big love-hate relationship
Xiao Ma heard that the situation in Vietnam was turbulent, and he was worried about the safety of his second uncle and cousin Amin, who lived in Vietnam. During his customs clearance in Vietnam, Pony was harassed by customs officers, and a woman who happened to be passing by broke the siege for him.
Seeing that the Vietnamese soldiers were in chaos, the two brothers, Xiao Ma and Amin, instead of the local army's mourning state, carried out black market transactions and prepared for the road fare back to Hong Kong, but they did not want to be hijacked by the local underworld, and the woman who had saved the pony before shot again, and saved the pony and Amin again. After talking, the two learned that the woman's name was Avon, and she was the number one person in the Vietnamese underworld.
Ajie agreed to Pony's request, but did not want to lose the state and wanted to eat black, and even killed the three people of Xiaoma and Amin, but Ajie had a protagonist aura, and the three fought back and forth with the army of the mourning state, and the widow was eventually arrested by the government.
After this fierce battle, Ajie and Xiaoma and Amin do not fight or know each other, the relationship between the three is no longer just Chinese compatriots, a love triangle spontaneously, taking advantage of the war, Ajie funded Amin's family to leave Vietnam.
During the customs inspection, Xiao Ma and the others encountered the customs officers who had been upset with him before, this time he became more intense, the second uncle had a heart attack and almost died, Xiao Ma was angry from the heart, vowing to solve this black-hearted customs officer, fortunately, Ajie came in time to solve the crisis, and everyone finally returned to Hong Kong.
The reason why Ajie can have today's status depends on his boyfriend He Changqing, but He Changqing ran to the Netherlands for a year or three because of the killing, so Ajie has not been so close to other men for a long time. He Changqing, who came to Hong Kong, was fierce, he first solved the betrayal of his subordinates, and even sent an explosive flower basket in the name of Ajie, and the second uncle died.
Faced with the fierce-hearted He Changqing, Amin and Xiaoma decided to return to Vietnam to fight him to the death. But what everyone did not expect was that Vietnam has long since become a hell on earth, and the war between the government and the rebels has made the hatred between the two sides less important, and the more urgent question before them is how to survive.
Finally, Xiao Ma found He Changqing through the second uncle's Vietnamese adopted son Chu Ba, who was at this time fighting with the mourning state. Several forces were mixed together, and the mourning state was the first to go out.
But in the middle of the battle, Ajie was hit by He Changqing's men, the two sides stopped fighting, watching their women lying in the arms of other men, He Changqing was stunned when he was shot and killed by the mourning state, Ajie closed He Changqing's eyes, and it was also considered to be the last journey of the man who loved him deeply.
The ghostly mourner manipulates the tank to try to kill the pony and others, and with the cooperation of ChuBa and Amin, the pony detonates the grenade under the tank, and the villain mourning scene is completely killed.
After a lot of siege, Ajay finally got on the plane, but because of the excessive blood loss, she did not insist on reaching Hong Kong after all, the wind in the sky dried the tear marks on the faces of Pony and Amin, and there were Vietnamese refugees fleeing for their lives scattered at their feet...
End of story
A classic movie whose name is misunderstood
If parts 1 and 2 are complete stories, "Sunset Song" seems to have nothing to do with the first two. But that doesn't stop Tsui from wanting to express something deeper.
The film adopts the combination of "two men and one woman threesomes" in "Across the Sea", describing the story of a brotherhood and love triangle as gentle and beautiful, falling flowers intentionally, flowing water is merciless, Ajie likes ponies, and Amin likes Ajie, and the three people plus He Changqing who appears later staged a scene of "he loves her, she loves him, he doesn't love her, he loves her" scene.
Compared with the brotherhood of the first two films in Hong Kong, "Hero 3" has a larger pattern, and the background of the whole story is no longer stuck to the gangster vendetta, placing the protagonist and others in the context of turmoil, such as the chaotic duckweed, so that the audience has more tragic memories of the times, due to the director Tsui Ke's Vietnamese identity, the tragic depiction of the Vietnam War in the film pours a lot of emotion:
At the beginning of the film, the two innocent and beautiful girls are actually the death squads of the attacking troops, and the scene where they throw explosive bombs at the crowd and are killed by random shooting is extremely impactful.
At the end of the film, when Zhou Runfa hugged Mei Yanfang for first aid, the whole room was covered with blood, and the children who groaned in pain were shocking.
In the face of the turbulent situation, Ajie and He Changqing, who are in the underworld, must also swallow their anger, and their personal small grievances are not worth mentioning at all, which highlights the powerlessness of people in the chaotic world who are like grass and mustard and are difficult to protect themselves.
Compared with the "righteousness" depicted in the first two films, the "love" intended to be prominent in "Sunset Song" is more precious, whether it is the love of Xiaoma, Amin and He Changqing for Ajie, or the love of the second uncle for the eighth grade, and even expanded to the perspective that everyone's thoughts about Hong Kong are sincere and appropriate.
Now that Mui Yanfang has long passed away, Chow Yun Fat and Leung Ka Fai have witnessed the whole process of Hong Kong films from prosperity to decline, "Heroes 3" has become a generation of Hong Kong film memories, perhaps in a few years, only the moving "Sunset Song" will be mentioned more.
A movie a story, I am a fork, we will see you next time!!!
