How to evaluate Infernal Affairs 2?

If you have seen Infernal Affairs 1, you should remember the scenes of Shawn Yue and Edison Chen at the beginning of the film. Although it was only a moment, it left a deep impression on people. After one beat, it became Andy Lau and Tony Leung Chiu Wai. The two of them never appeared again. Is this a bit confusing?

So, the movie about them is coming, which is Infernal Affairs 2.

Infernal Affairs 2 tells the story of how two people became undercover. Edison Chen followed Ceng Zhiwei into the police force and became an undercover, while Shawn Yue entered the underworld after being "fired" by the police force and became an undercover policeman. The drama of infernal affairs has been staged since then.

This version of Infernal Affairs 2 is called the godfather of the Hong Kong version. Is it exaggerated? Everyone has different opinions, but judging from the plot of the story and the performance of the actors, it is still a masterpiece of gangster theme. Two undercover agents, one is Edison Chen, who is following Chen Han, and the other is Shawn Yue, a policeman. Edison Chen, who followed Chen Han, actually listened to Chen Han's wife Mary and was not very loyal to Chen Han. Later, Liu Jianming killed Chen Han, which proved this point. He just likes it? It's just Mary. He's not interested in this man that Mary likes.

The picture shows Hu Jun. Unexpectedly, in 2000, Hu Jun was still playing soy sauce in Hong Kong movies.

Let's talk about Shawn Yue. In this film, Shawn Yue plays Chen Yongren. Chen Yongren and the gangster Ni Yongxiao are brothers of a father. As for why Shawn Yue insisted on overthrowing his brother and the underworld, the reason may be simple: "I want to be a good man". That's why Shawn Yue agreed to be undercover.

At the end of the movie, when Ni found the bug on his brother, the panic and unwillingness could not be described in words. Finally, the scene of Ni dying unsatisfied is also the root cause of headache for many years. In the first and third films, there are scenes in which Chen Yongren has a headache, which may come from his own brother's death gaze.

However, until his death, Ni Xiaoyong did not reveal his brother's true identity. This may be the best explanation for the affection that blood is thicker than water.

Tony's family was destroyed, and the other leading brothers were killed by Tony, leaving only one person. Naturally, Chen Han became the new Tony Xiao Yong, a new target being stared at.

Infernal Affairs 2 began in the early 1990s and lasted until 1997. It shows a different Hong Kong society with rigorous details and performances. It is not an exaggeration to call it the godfather of Hong Kong.
