★★★☆
----------------------------------------------------
Director: Guo Zijian
Screenwriters: Guo Zijian, Long Wenkang
Starring: Eason Chan, Lin Yuan, Tsang Chi Wai, Lin Zixiang
"Wild Dog" - Between the thoughts of evil turning good
"How sinister the world is, the human heart still retains a little goodness"
The most classic version of Wild Dog is directed by Akira Kurosawa
The new director Guo Zijian used the same name to create
Unlike this, a little bit has been cleverly added behind the wild
It also distinguishes the distinction between good and evil in the human heart, and the prominence of "wild" and "good dogs"
It has become an indicator of a major turning point in the movie!
The story is structured in a multi-faceted chain of coincidences between a gangster, a gunman, a mentor and a lover
What can be seen in this is not only the series of plots, but also the parts about people's struggles
When there are still good thoughts in the heart, the brilliance of human nature will still be carried forward from the heart
Guo Zijian, who debuted, although there was no big surprise in the plot
However, there are many experiments in film editing, such as the clues interspersed with time and space
Or the presentation of the word card, the layout of the chapters will make people think of "Treading Blood and Finding Plums"
It is also to see a new director's innovative approach that sets it apart from other films
And from this movie, you can also feel Guo Zijian's literary and artistic atmosphere
From the atmosphere treatment of cool colors, the virtual and real comparison of amusement parks or the cutting of split screens
It was also very watchable at that time, not to mention that in the movie, you can feel the dark and depressed atmosphere of Teddy Robin who belongs to him!
The head and tail echoes, so that the plot direction is a very good treatment for the interlude
It is a pity that some of the blackenings are too fast, and the emotions are too easy to fade
The soundtrack is also made by Teddy Robin, which is also quite intriguing
Ending with the lyrics of the classic leann rimes - "You Light Up My Life"
With tears, pools of blood, rain, a trace of regret, a touch of warmth, people can not get out of the emotions for a long time
In terms of actors, Zeng Zhiwei, who has been the boss for many years, hitched a ride on the Eason Chan
Lin Zixiang, who rarely appears in the movie, and Lin Yuan, a few works
A clever combination, there are also many different freshnesses
The amazing performance is Wen Junhui's performance, under the scene of not speaking, you can only communicate with your eyes, which is very difficult for children, and Eason Chan and his opponent play, it is also very exciting, especially the more self-talking part, even if the acting skills are more prominent
On the whole, as the new director of the year, Guo Zijian is a highly experimental work, although it is a little more nostalgic, but under the opportunity of many parties, the relationship between the three characters is connected, and in the revenge plot, the family affection, the heart war of good and evil and the love that is difficult to give up, the combination of the three feelings makes the film more wonderful and complete, and from the foundation of "Wild Dog", it can be seen that Guo Zijian's potential is more, and therefore has many good works today: "Moss", "Fight in the Ring", "Journey to the West , Descending Demons" , "FireFighting Hero" and most recently "All Out Smash", and also won the new director at the 28th Hong Kong Film Awards
