"A Better Tomorrow", known as the pioneer of hero movies, is John Woo's best movie?

The answer is yes. This action movie "A Better Tomorrow" directed by Sam Woo and starring Chow Yun-fat, Leslie Cheung, and Ti Lung is definitely one of the masterpieces of Hong Kong movies. In addition to vividly displaying Sam Woo's violent aesthetics, the film.

It depicts the image of a bohemian Ma Ge, a righteous Ahao, and a Jie who is obsessed with police responsibility. These characters have lived in our hearts for many years. In particular, the scene of Ponyboy wearing sunglasses and lighting a cigarette with US dollars is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people and is popular to this day. Even now, many movie fans are happy to imitate Ponyboy wearing a windbreaker and biting a toothpick. "A Better Tomorrow" was filmed in 1986. The film embodies the value of Hong Kong gangster movies to the extreme from the character and ideological levels. This film also made Wu Senyu feel proud, and also allowed Chow Yun-fat to take off the hat of "box office poison".

John Woo gave Ti Lung courage, gave Leslie Cheung dexterity, and gave Chow Yun-fat the unforgettable charm that is as bright as the night view of Hong Kong. The triangular heroes, whether they are officials or criminals, all have a strong backbone of principle and a tenderness of blood. The textbook-like neat and comfortable scene scheduling and camera movements highlight the filmmaker's ingenuity, and the close-ups of each actor reveal the true soul of the hero. For example, as soon as Li Zixiong appeared on the stage, many people knew that he played the villain. He was really too weird. This film is definitely regarded as Wu Senyu's best film.

It is a masterpiece that meets the most appropriate director at the most appropriate time and casts the most appropriate actors at the right time, place, and people. The underworld and police images in the film have nothing to do with reality and are purely a mythical representation of John Woo's personal life. What the director taught us with "A Better Tomorrow" is not only to imitate the pony wearing sunglasses and lighting cigarettes with money to look cool, but also the dignity of a man - I must get back what I lost. And Fa Ge is the first true idol in my life.
