In the world of cinema, every work is an adventure, a journey into the unknown.
Some films, such as "The Three Teams," feel real and appealing, and full of the power of faith, while others, such as "Breaking Point," feel old-fashioned and lacking in innovation.
Today, we're going to step into the fascinating picture of the film and delve into the gap between the two works.
The beginning of the suspense may stem from the audience's expectations for Hong Kong films and mainland films.
Hong Kong films have been brilliant, and those classics such as "Infernal Affairs", "The True Colors of Heroes", and "Bloody Heroes" have long been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.
With the passage of time, today's Hong Kong films seem to be drifting away, as if they have been eliminated by the tide of the new wave era.
However, mainland films are full of vitality in continuous innovation, bringing new audio-visual enjoyment to the audience, and "The Three Teams" and "Breaking Point" have aroused widespread discussion.
Both films captivate audiences with exciting storylines and tense showdown scenes, but the social issues behind them are thought-provoking.
"The Three Teams" resonates with the audience with a true storyline.
The film tells the story of a criminal investigation team leader who suffers accusations, pressure, and inner struggles because he is accused of murder privately.
Through the various changes and dilemmas that have occurred in the protagonist, the film shows that there are problems in the Chinese legal system that make justice nowhere to be found, and unjust, false and wrongful cases cannot be tried fairly.
This implies an urgent need for attention and resolution of the reform of the judicial system.
In contrast, "Breaking Point" continues the routine of the older generation of Hong Kong films and uses it in the duel scene.
Although the choice of subject matter is in a rut, the play shows a social reality in which a person's fate is involved, influenced and bound by various factors through the complex character creation of Jiang Ming and the plot of his identity as an undercover agent gradually fermenting in the duel between good and evil.
Such a portrayal both resonates with the audience and gives space for thought.
Faced with the problems presented by the two films, we can't help but reflect: as a viewer, how do we view the social problems in our own lives, and how can we pay attention to and participate in changing and solving the current dilemma?
We need to be aware that film as an art form has a strong warning function.
It sheds light on social issues with storylines and characterization, and visually presents them in front of the audience's eyes.
Therefore, we should keep an open mind to analyze what kind of deep information is contained behind the plot.
Whether it's "The Big Three" or "Breaking Point", they all give some positive or enlightening solutions or suggestions.
For example, "The Three Teams" tells us that the justice system needs to be more fair and reasonable, while "Breaking Point" encourages individuals to do their best to improve their own status quo to promote social progress.
We can draw energy and courage from this and actively contribute to solving problems.
"Three Teams" features powerful actor Zhang Yi as the protagonist, and supporting roles Wang Xiao and Chen Chuang also showed solid acting skills;
and "Breaking Point" has a group of experienced and powerful actors such as Zhang Jiahui and William Chan.
These excellent actors present superb performing arts in the play, and they cannot hide the shortcomings in the story framework and subject matter.
For audiences, film evaluations often depend largely on whether the story itself can be engaging.
Although "The Big Three" and "Breaking Point" both have a star-studded cast, and the overall quality is enhanced by exquisite performances.
But without a good joke or a well-thought-out experience that comes out of the way and the emotion of gratitude-fluctuating and immersing people in it, these films are more or less criticized by audiences.
"The Three Teams" features Zhang Yi as the protagonist and tells a story about the struggle between the police and the gangsters.
Although Zhang Yi and other powerful actors have shown extraordinary charm in character creation, the whole plot seems bland.
There is nothing surprising, shocking, or even unbelievable, that makes the story lack eye-catching highlights.
Audiences are eager to be moved by a unique and innovative subject matter that brings them new perspectives and ways of thinking.
Similarly, Breaking Point has a similar problem.
Although the film is led by a group of experienced and powerful actors, the story frame is relatively traditional and mediocre.
It depicts the scene of a desperate struggle between police and bandits in a fixed mode, and does not break through the routine for innovative exploration.
Audiences look forward to seeing more complex, gripping, and resonant plot developments, in which they find their own inner self without being reminded of the past.
The charm of a movie depends not only on the strength of the actors, but more importantly on the storyline.
When the audience experiences a story in a film that is different, unique and deeply explores the meaning of life, they will be drawn and resonated.
Therefore, when creating a good movie, we should focus on balancing the relationship between the strength of the actors and the storyline.
Taking "The Three Teams" as an example, if we can add more tense and shocking plot elements on the basis of solid performances, the overall quality can be further improved.
As for "Breaking Point", if it can break through the traditional police and bandit theme setting, and enhance the viewing and thinking by giving the characters more in-depth explorations such as spiritual cores and moral dilemmas, it will definitely get better evaluations.
Box office performance is undoubtedly a barometer of a film's success.
The box office of "The Three Majors" exceeded 100 million two days after its release, and the box office reached 170 million in a week, which can be described as a gratifying report card.
On the other hand, "Breaking Point", the total box office is only 86.156 million, and the audience is even more blunt about "super bad movies", the reason behind this may be the audience's pursuit of freshness and innovation.
Mainland films have made remarkable achievements in the continuous pursuit of "new".
The gap between Hong Kong films and mainland films lies in the innovative attitude, and today, society is constantly progressing, and the audience's expectations for films are also rising.
The classic works of Hong Kong films have now become memories, and how to adapt to the trend of the times and create fascinating new works is obviously a difficult problem in front of Hong Kong films.
In contrast, mainland films have presented the audience with refreshing and wonderful stories through continuous innovation, which is why the box office performance has risen.
In the long river of films, each work is a portrayal of an era, and Hong Kong films and mainland films have their own merits and styles.
Perhaps, we should not be too demanding of one side or the other, but respect each other's uniqueness.
Every movie is the crystallization of the hard work of the director, actors, and staff, and it is worthy of our appreciation.
While exploring the gaps, we should also think about how film, as an art form, can better cater to the needs of the audience, and how to find a balance between innovation and tradition.
Perhaps, the future of the film world will be a pluralistic and symbiotic situation, with various types of films complementing each other on the big screen, each exuding a unique light.
Let's immerse ourselves in the ocean of movies and feel the stories full of creativity and passion.
Whether it is a Hong Kong film or a mainland film, they are all part of the movie, and they all bring us a different viewing experience.
Let's find our own wonderful in this colorful movie world.
