The National Day is gone, which means that we have passed the last statutory holiday of the year.
Look at the entire National Day file.
The film box office saw its first contraction in nearly a decade.
National Day four films, Uncle Fish all brushed.
"Traces of the Lord", imported products.
"Passing Through Your World", sentimentality.
"Ace Makes Ace", big joke.
Fortunately, there is a dark horse that saves a little face for the entire National Day file -
Operation Mekong.
As a main theme movie, the Douban score is as high as 8.2.
Better than 90% of crime films.
Based on real events, the film tells the story of Chinese police going deep into the Golden Triangle to arrest drug lords.
If you want to talk about the shortcomings of the movie, it is actually obvious.
The opening and closing credits are inevitably forcibly inserted into Wei Guangzheng's plot.
The main line follows the usual commercial film routine and is not brilliant enough.
However, the film also gives us a new understanding of drug dealers.
In order to control innocent villagers, they cut off their hands and feet.
That's why there is a village full of disabled people in the film.
They are cruel and much more than that.
In order to protect themselves, a group of Scouts were trained.
Those teenagers who are in the flower season have been controlled by drugs and willingly fight for them.
In the film, a small child blows up the police station at the cost of his life.
One of the policemen, because he couldn't bear to shoot at them, lost a leg.
There is a plot that makes Uncle Fish remember it vividly.
In the camp of drug dealer Naw Kham, many teenagers gathered to play Russian roulette.
This is an extremely cruel gambling game.
Put a bullet in the revolver's six magazines, rotate it arbitrarily, and shoot yourself in the head.
The stake is on human life.
The drug dealer, on the other hand, was still smiling.
A similar section first appeared in Michael Cimino's Deer Hunter.
But "The Deer Hunter" is a big gamble between adults;
Russian roulette between children, first appeared in this classic Hong Kong film -
The Condor of the East
It's been 30 years since the film was released in 1987.
This was the peak of Hong Kong cinema, forming a diversified genre pattern.
Wu Yusen, Xu Ke, Du Qifeng, Chen Kexin, Wang Jing and a large number of directors appeared.
They mostly shoot action movies and comedies.
But this "Eastern Condor" is a war film.
The story takes place after the end of the Vietnam War, when the United States decides to select ten people to destroy the missiles left in Vietnam.
In order to avoid suspicion, they decided to pick ten prisoners.
Among them are the drug dealers who are not spared;
Prisoners who smuggle arms;
None of them are the most vicious.
In order to end their sentences as soon as possible and receive an honorarium, they successfully reached an agreement with the U.S. military and formed a "temporary combat team."
After just ten days of training, they sharpened their knives.
Before the parachute, the officer told them to count until twenty strokes before they could open the parachute.
As a result, there was a stutter, and he usually spoke very slowly, so that when he fell to his death, he only counted sixteen times.
Really straight.
The U.S. military was also a pit, and everyone jumped down before conveying the order to cancel the mission.
So they had to fight hard.
They were picked up in Vietnam by Cambodian guerrillas, and three girls.
Naturally, the male comrades of the squad were eager to move.
Soon, though, they were poured cold water.
Along the way, they passed five levels and slashed six generals, and finally arrived at their destination.
The task was accomplished, and many people died as a result.
Before departure, still in the fantasy of how to spend this bonus;
Unexpectedly, some people even lost their lives.
In the current view, the entire movie plot has fallen into the cliché.
But 30 years ago, it was a qualified commercial film.
It won 21 million box office that year, ranking tenth among Hong Kong films.
The actors involved in this film are some old faces, and they were all wrists at that time.
Playing the chief is the zombie dao chief Lin Zhengying.
Familiar.
Gold medal action director Yuan Heping also made a cameo appearance.
There was also Miao Qiaowei, one of the Five Tiger Generals of that year.
Mo Shaocong, a young student who was becoming popular at that time.
Old drama bone noon horse.
And among the action movie actors, the only two people who can still be named with Jackie Chan:
Yuan Bin and Hong Jinbao.
It's a star-studded gathering.
And the director of this movie is Hong Jinbao, who has not yet been blessed.
Since the movie is full of action actors, the fight scenes in this movie are naturally very exciting.
The director of "Mekong Action", Lin Chaoxian, is also very good at action scenes, and "Guild Wars" and "Counter War" are full of hormones.
Play freely, without dragging mud and water.
The russian roulette game in "Operation Mekong" mentioned earlier is a reference to "Eastern Condor".
When the squad was unfortunately captured by the Viet Cong, it was discovered that there were also Boy Scouts in the Viet Cong.
The Boy Scouts play Russian roulette with captured captives as stakes.
Eventually, they killed a man.
Cruelly, the little children who won the bet, instead of wavering, cheered there.
They were trained by the Viet Cong to become "killing machines" that disregarded life.
The Boy Scouts in Operation Mekong are even more lamentable.
They play Russian roulette and aim it at their own heads.
The reason why drug dealers are hateful is that they do not compromise their means for money and profit.
Many people hate drug addicts because they feed these drug dealers.
Like Andy Lau's line in "The Disciple":
"They don't deserve to be sympathized with."
