It is people's nature to ask questions, and it is happy to understand a thing that they do not understand through various channels. Modern people like that everything has an ending, whether the ending is the truth or not, as long as there is a coffin conclusion, even if there may be no result in fact, but as long as someone is willing to give a result, everyone is willing to believe. This is a conclusion-oriented era, and everyone is most willing to ignore the process and be very happy about the ending.
Therefore, many things in reality, things without clues will be derived from many versions, such as a case, if it can trigger a heated discussion, when the police do not give a closing statement, everyone will expand their imagination, any clues will be amplified after the consequences of false rumors, the truth of a case is like this, but after more people, the more outrageous, before the truth comes out, the truth we see has long deviated from the basic direction.
This is a side that everyone is happy to see, and many times, the process of speculating about a thing will be mixed with our own complex emotions. We will be very agreeable to the results that conform to our own values, even if the truth is often not the case, and for those who go against their will, we will feel that there must be hidden secrets in it, and even if the truth is true, we will not dispel such concerns. That's human nature.
The movie recommended to you today will play this kind of human nature very wonderfully, for the truth, no one knows, but for the result, this is what everyone is happy to see. This film is the second half of "The Biography of Inspector Leiluo", "The Biography of Inspector Leiluo of 500 Million: Father and Son Love". The story of this film is very simple, after Leiluo became the chief inspector of the Chinese, how should they reconcile with their former lovers and their sons. Leiluo is gradually approaching his twilight years in the film, and in the meantime, his nemesis Yan Tong has been fighting against himself, coupled with the change of the wind direction of the times, the general environment can no longer tolerate Leiluo and others to continue like this in Hong Kong. Faced with a new situation, where does Leiluo go?
This was originally a story to give Leilo a story to pass on, but the film gradually fell into the cliché in the process. Fall into a cliché that everyone loves. No one thinks there's anything wrong with a film like this, but that's the real problem. We liked the story to develop in the direction we imagined, so the directors, knowing the outcome, fictionalized an ending, and at the same time made the ending more in line with the viewing habits of people at that time. But for a biographical film, this is probably a pity.
Fast forward to the 1990s, what kind of movies do Hong Kong people like? Gangsters are clearly not an eternal theme, at best a branch of such a vast film system. The 1990s can be said to be the heyday of entertainment, with movies such as the Stephen Chow series, the Wong Fei Hung series, and the Family Affair series all appearing. Of course, there is also an impressive series of ancient puzzle boys. The themes highlighted in these series are different, but the elements that the public likes are surprisingly consistent. Elements such as "heroes, gunfights, beauties, action, and cops" together constituted the Hong Kong film market in the 1990s.
Therefore, in this environment, it is understandable that this film will arrange a biographical film into a big guy's film with a hunting nature. The truth is often tragic, but the process of joking or adding oil and vinegar is very joyful. Not to mention whether Leiluo's prototype "Lu Le" has personally experienced many wonderful and exciting stories like Andy Lau in the film, but he is a big figure in the Hong Kong police circle. Since it is a big person, it is inevitable that there will be some peach news. Then the combination of Qiu Shuzhen and Zhang Min is enough to make too many people feel that this is indeed authentic.
We are accustomed to using our imagination to speculate on the lives of others, even if this imagination can not completely restore the luxury of the big guy, but the people in reality are still happy to do it. Originally, the second half of Leiluo's life meant that after his corruption was exposed, he fled in a hurry, but this did not arouse everyone's widespread interest at the time. That's why the director used more fiction to make the life of this big guy completely intersect with the imagination of people at that time. This is also in line with the expectations of the public.
In the end, how much trouble Yan Tong in the film poses to Leiluo, this nature everyone has their own public opinion. But it is undeniable that the main line of Leiluo's son played by Aaron Kwok has really made the ending of this mysterious big guy more in line with expectations. After all, if there had been no one in the ICAC, a big tiger like Leiluo would have been arrested long ago, and such a fictitious fact is reasonable to some extent. And the truth no one will care, even Lu Le himself, only expressed his dissatisfaction, but really to restore the truth, that way, the result is not a film can influence.
Without an ending, we can invent an ending, there is no truth, we can create a truth, under the tide of commercial films, there is no need to care about the nature of certain film genres, as long as you want to see, it is easy to think about things.
