Louis Koo is an old police force who is overwhelmed by his family's burden and is financially struggling.
The financial criminals contacted by the intelligence department made tens of millions of dollars casually, which made him particularly dissatisfied with the world. In the early stages of the movie, he completely drove the plot development with his character contradictions.
Liu Qingyun is more like our common big brother. He is doing things properly and has a steady personality, but cannot handle his own emotional life well. He has an entanglement with Fang Zhongxin's ex-wife, who is a friend and boss.
As for Daniel Wu, he has the greatest personality tension in this movie. In the first half of the movie, as a young talent who married a wealthy wife, he seems to be the luckiest of the three. In fact, he is also the one with the vague self-worth and the one with the greatest contrast between the front and back.
The expression of the three people's personality is very similar to the Buddha's thoughts conveyed in the Infernal Affairs. The Infernal Affairs talks about the vagueness of good and evil, and is the purgatory of Infinite purgatory, while the eavesdropping on the inlife greed, anger, and ignorance of in life, and everyone has obsessions.
In the second part, it should be because of the success of the first part, the director and screenwriter also began to show off, and more characters were added. This part uses the most old actors in the trilogy: Zeng Jiang, Hu Feng, Jiang Yi, Luo Yingjun and other members of the Landlord Association. They are all old actors who have been acting for most of their lives.
It can be said that the second part is a complete tribute to the past generation of Hong Kong movies, and even the shadow of the classic financial drama "The Great Era" can be seen in many places.
Although the protagonist is still in the Iron Triangle, the three younger actors are a bit like tool people due to the participation of many old actors.
Of course, this is a kind of benign weakening of the protagonist. When a movie actor's overall age, experience and experience are deep enough, young actors will serve and make way for these older actors who have more experience in the years. Similarly, it is like "In the Name of the People".
In the last film, the roles and number of veteran actors have decreased, becoming a stage for the golden generation to take the lead. In addition to the Iron Triangle, there is also the later actor Lin Jiadong, who has a strong sense of role.
The most surprising thing is Fang Zhongxin. I believe that the person who has finished watching it for the first time did not realize that the person with long hair and sunglasses was Fang Zhongxin.
Some people say that Huang Lei's role is inconsistent, but it is not accurate. Huang Lei plays a capital spokesperson from Wall Street. Whether for Hong Kong or the New Territories in movies, the sense of externality is normal, because this role represents external forces.
Many Hong Kong movies also have mainland actors who play supporting roles, and most of them will become so-called. However, Huang Lei's roles do not have many roles but no sense of waste. He even represents the kind of gentle but hidden power of capital, which forms a strong contrast with the pure evil of the four brothers in Xinjie.
As an Asian financial center, Hong Kong is also known as the Financial Port.
It represents power and money, and there are too many stories on this land. "Eavesdropping" chooses finance as the core theme of the story. What you want to tell is the story of human nature, money and power, and what you want to express is also unfolding step by step with the trilogy.
In the first part, the movie revolves around insider trading cases of a single company - Fenghua International. The cooperation between the intelligence department of the Iron Triangle and the Commercial Criminal Investigation Department opened the door for the protagonists to get in touch with the financial world.
But in one, the character contradictions in the Iron Triangle are the real core. As for insider trading, it is an introduction, serving the protagonist.
The inside information that the Iron Triangle accidentally eavesdropped on their greed. Louis Koo is for life, Daniel Wu is for self-worth, and Andy Lau is for brothers.
But once this Pandora's box is opened, it can no longer be closed. As people often say: When you tell a lie, you have to tell a hundred lies to fulfill it.
This is a black hole of human greed, and it is also what the director wants to express in the first part.
In the second part, the movie began to let go of the times and the environment.
Since 1845, the British opened their first bank in Hong Kong. Eight years later, Standard Chartered Bank obtained the right to issue Hong Kong currency, and a dispute between foreign and Chinese capital that was completely smoke began.
Since Hong Kong is a financial free port, foreign capital and Chinese capital are still divided into two parts. These foreign capitals are giant consortiums such as Morgan and Merrill Lynch. How can we defeat the consortium?
Only consortiums can resist consortiums. The opportunity for the establishment of the Landlords Association in the movie was to resist foreign investment in the stock market crash in 1973.
Why is it said that the second part "Epilogue" has many shadows of "Big Times". In addition to using many actors from the Big Times, it is actually the same for the birth of early Hong Kong stockists. The father of the protagonist in "Big Times" also established a Chinese Foundation to fight against foreign capital that was making money in the stock market.
So in the early days of the establishment of the Landlord Association, the landlords were foreign capital and multinational consortiums. When they repelled foreign capital, they found that they had no opponents and they became particularly powerful.
This is the story of the brave man who defeated the evil dragon and turned himself into an evil dragon.
It is worth mentioning that Daniel Wu is the well-deserved first protagonist in the second part, but he is still dazzling under the halo of a group of veteran actors.
This is a story of defeating a giant consortium with the body of a mortal. Eavesdropping, high performance, military use. This line appears twice in the movie, which runs through the entire movie when the main story is revealed and ends.
This line also tells what kind of power can defeat them when facing huge capital.
Eavesdropping devices are tools, high performance is efficiency, and military uses are power. This is the role of Daniel Wu, who is rebellious and full of revenge, meticulous plan, and the cost of life, will collapse the landlords.
It can be said that the second part is the most suitable for the theme of eavesdropping on the storm.
The third part is the lowest rating and the most ambitious one.
The movie starts with Ding Quan, a word full of historical colors. In 1972, the Hong Kong government planned to develop the New Territories. We can understand it as a New Area. Due to geographical and transportation reasons, the New Territories have always been the agricultural production area of Hong Kong, that is, the countryside. In the past, Louis Koo's lines in the movie say: It is difficult for us rural people to do it.
In order to appease the New Territories Aboriginals, the Hong Kong government at that time introduced a small house policy, stipulating that for New Territories Aboriginals, each male (Ding) could apply for a house with a maximum of 3 floors within the scope of recognition once in his life, with an area of no more than 700 square feet per floor without paying the land price to the government.
In essence, this is a mutually compromised policy of gentleness, which is in exchange for the smooth progress of development through certain privileges. After the return in 1997, the Dingwu policy was still not abolished and was written into the Basic Law.
Ding Quan is different from general pacification policies, and there is a reason why the film opens around this theme.
First of all, in the 1980s, a man proved that his genealogy was an indigenous in the New Territories, and his son and grandson also had it. This is a hereditary right.
The financial criminals contacted by the intelligence department made tens of millions of dollars casually, which made him particularly dissatisfied with the world. In the early stages of the movie, he completely drove the plot development with his character contradictions.
