Leather photography

Speaking of cult movies, many fans who like this taste can make a laundry list.

For example, stanley kubrick's clockwork orange contains many elements of sex, violence, blood and brainwashing.

Because of his sloppy, swearing, black humor and bloody and violent works, many fans regard him as a "ghost talent" director.

Kill bill.

So, there are no good cult films in China movies? Of course there is.

In fact, when the rogue director Quentin increased his reading in the video store, he had already seen many cult films from Hong Kong.

Whether it's reference or imitation, Hong Kong movies have already performed everything he played.

Today, our shop will introduce you to a Hong Kong sci-fi movie with cult overtones-

Monster city

To tell the truth, the poster design is ugly, and everyone should be able to feel the sense of time in the film.

The film was released in 1992, with Tai Kit Mak as the director, screenwriter and producer.

Speaking of SEO, I have to mention his two characteristics.

One is to open a brain hole.

For example, a beautiful woman who was passionately kissing a man a second ago suddenly became Spider-Man.

Clocks can fly down from the wall and become killing machines.

There are also humanoid motorcycles and pinball machines, and suddenly an indescribable picture is staged. ...

The other, naturally, is to shoot beauty.

It seems that gods can show their most beautiful and charming side in their works to the maximum extent.

Joey Wong's ghost story

Beautiful, and there is a director who can shoot. The audience is blessed.

The film stars the beautiful Michelle monique Rice. The moment she looked up in the rain,

I don't know how many men's hearts have been hit, and it is estimated that women can't stay up.

Carman Lee, the female companion, had already attracted attention in this work before she played "Auntie".

Besides the two goddesses, there are two heavenly kings in this film, Dawn and Jacky Cheung.

Plus the guest appearance of "the best martial finger in the world" Yuan Baye (Yuan Heping),

And Japanese master actor Nakajima Daiya (Kurosawa Akira),

In cass, this movie can be said to be very powerful.

The story takes place in the future world, where there are monsters besides humans.

The war between man and monster beast has never stopped. To this end, human beings have also set up a special police force to deal with the monster beast.

Aaron (Dawn) and Ayang (Jacky Cheung) are two outstanding members of the SWAT team.

They received a high-level task-to catch the monster Yuan Dazong (played by Da Ye in the Middle Dynasty).

On a mission, Aaron meets his lover fantasy Ji (Michelle monique Rice) who gave up three years ago.

Give up fantasy because their races are different.

Although they are lucky enough to meet again, things have already changed-the imaginary Ji has become a rich and expensive woman.

Therefore, Phantom Ji became the biggest obstacle for Aaron to complete his task.

But in fact, monsters are also good or bad.

Yuan Dazong has always advocated the peaceful coexistence of monster beast and human beings, and it is his son (Roy Cheung) who plays tricks behind it.

Daoism studies an addictive poison called "happiness", which he tries to use to destroy mankind and control the earth.

Not only that, he also wants to use the fantasy Ji to hurt Aaron and Yuan Dazong, and finally replace Yuan Dazong's position.

At the same time, the SWAT team suspected that there was a mole, and someone was leaking the secret of the SWAT team.

The captain (played by Yuan Heping) thinks it's a half-man, half-beast Ying (whose mother is a monster). Is that really the case?

Human beings, Yuan Dazong, Ghost Dao and the three forces began to scuffle, and the world was in chaos. ...

Frankly speaking, among the many cult films made in Hong Kong at the end of last century, this film is not brilliant.

The serious injury mainly lies in the thin and slightly chaotic plot.

This film is adapted from the novel of the same name by Japanese writer Kikuchi Hideyuki. As early as 1987, Japanese director Yoshiaki Kawajiri directed the animation of the same name.

The live-action version directly moved the story background to Hong Kong.

Although many adaptations have been made, the development of the story is still lacking, and the action editing is a bit stiff.

As for special effects, friends who haven't seen them should not expect them. After all, consider that this is a 1992 movie!

Curious, is this a plastic sheet?

Of course, you can't just listen to one movie.

As far as netizens are concerned, the evaluation of this film is also polarized.

With tread,

There are also praises.

The store thinks that although this film is not a classic, it is not a big bad film.

For example, in photography, the film gives the audience a little surprise.

Liu Weiqiang (director of Infernal Affairs), who was still a photographer at that time, took over the photography of this film.

Under his lens, cold and warm colors appear alternately, and the contrasting colors of yellow, green, red and blue even have an unspeakable beauty.

In addition, this bizarre science fiction film has many classic lines.

"Time is originally a statement made by people, but why should people be subject to time and use time to prove it?"

Ghosts want to destroy mankind with a poison called "happiness". The name of this medicine itself can explain some people's worldview: even if you have to endure a lifetime of sin, you should long for a moment of happiness.

Here, time can go back and kill people, but happiness is bought at the cost of life.

In other words, time is a killer and happiness is a poison.

Such remarks are not classic.

Looking back at the Hong Kong movies of that era, it seems that everyone is always shrouded in a sense of anxiety about their identity, just like the human beings and monsters in this movie.

"Her body is full of color, and her internal organs are steel and concrete. This is our city. We humans are all animals parasitic on her, and we have to fight our own kind and the monster beast every day. "

After years of British rule, the mentality of Hong Kong people is ambivalent.

On the one hand, we should stick to the greater China in our hearts, on the other hand, we should accept the changes from western culture. This sense of confusion about one's identity has always affected everyone in Hong Kong.

In fact, in essence, there is no difference between human beings and monsters: monsters long for peaceful coexistence, and human beings will be ruthless.

Whether man or monster, everyone is the product of loneliness in this city.

"You see how lonely this city is. I hope that human beings no longer need the happiness of the monster beast. "

Last but not least, there's a source of juice.
