Do you think there are violent aesthetic films in China? What kind of movies can be called this style?

I think there are violent aesthetic films in China, but there may not be a unified definition or standard. Different directors, different actors, different styles and different themes may have different ways of expression and aesthetic orientation. Give a chestnut:

Some people think that China's violent aesthetic films are represented by Hong Kong films, especially the crime films directed by John Woo and Du Qifeng, and the kung fu films of martial arts stars such as Bruce Lee, Jackie Chan and Jet Li. These films mainly focus on gun battles, drag racing, explosions, unarmed combat and weapon combat, showing the Jianghu atmosphere, the spirit of martial arts and the charm of China traditional martial arts. Some people think that China's violent aesthetic films are early domestic films represented by Zhang Che. There are many bloody scenes in his films, and the prop plasma is honey and ketchup, so he has the title of "Tomato Master". His films also have elements such as double guns, flying pigeons and churches, and are considered as the originator of violent aesthetics. Others think that China's violent aesthetic films are Japanese films represented by Kitano Takeshi. He combines the bloody violence with the romantic aesthetics, and his poetic images and artistic expressions show the violent appearance and behavior of human nature. Movies are also more diversified, with black humor, comedy effect and "hero" style. In short, different people have different opinions, and some things can only be enjoyed by themselves.

I'd like to recommend some films that belong to China's violent aesthetic style.

1, infernal affairs

Douban score: 9.3

Simple synopsis: Infernal Affairs is such a classic movie, I don't think you know what it is about (okay, okay, it's about a policeman and a gangster undercover confrontation).

Reason: On the list of must-see movies in my life, the whole movie shows the complexity and tragedy of human nature. The scenes of gun battle, chase and assassination in the film are very wonderful, plus some details and hints. Wow, that's amazing. I still remember the picture of Chen Yongren shooting and killing Liu Jianming on the roof with a red sky in the background, not only to protect his identity, but also to end his pain. Similarly, Liu Jianming shot and killed Chen Han in the elevator.

2. Kill the Wolf 2

Douban score: 7.5

Summary of simple plot: A contest story between a retired special police officer and a killer, a war between police and bandits about the good and evil of human nature, and the fate of cause and effect is about to begin.

Reason: Kill the Wolf 2hhhh is my favorite one in the series. The scenes of fighting, gunfight and assassination in the movie are all very real. After all, the men are all from practicing families, Tony Jaffe kicked into the bus, and the final three-person duel also included flying windows in high-rise buildings. At the same time, we can also feel the point of violence aesthetics in many details and metaphors. For example, the film title is a term in Wei Zidou's book, which represents the change of life destiny mode. For example, each character has its own representative color. Ma Jun is just and bright white, Wang Bao is evil and dark black, and Chen Guozhong is complex and heavy gray.

3. No one

Douban score: 8

Simple plot summary: a series of stories about a lost old gun, and a series of absurd and tragic stories published by four little people living at the bottom of society because of a mobile phone and a gun.

Reason: In fact, the depiction of violent scenes is not to stimulate or intimidate the audience, but to better highlight the character, emotion and destiny of the characters. For example, the male host took a bullet for his daughter on the Xishan Bridge, and deliberately used slow motion and music to create a tragic and romantic atmosphere. When Hu Guangsheng and Ma broke up, there was bgm's Blind Man, and the unique singing and dialect version of Yulinling made me think that Hu Guangsheng was the one who couldn't talk when leaving. Black Humor shows ordinary people, but the arduous life and drama stories are full of positive energy. This film tells me that life is like a play, everyone has his own way of living and dignity, and we have no right to judge other people's lives, because no one can fully empathize, so it is most important to live with a smile.
