Andy Lau's Ten Classic Characters
1, dark war. Andy Lau's handsome is irresistible. In King Kong, Huang Yifei is so funny: "I am a triple Andy Lau-the best among men!" Later, the quotation rate of this sentence among fans was extremely high. In fact, how can there be three Andy Lau and one Andy Lau in this world? It's a miracle. Andy Lau shines brilliantly on the screen, and each of his roles is charming. In "Dark War", Andy Lau took his handsome to the extreme. At the beginning of the film, he was dressed in a gray suit with a black backpack on his shoulder-a suit can also be used as a backpack, wearing a pair of sunglasses and plain short hair, walking leisurely in the street. When I was in college, I watched TV in my dormitory. Whenever I see this scene, one of my roommates will gasp in admiration: "I used to think Andy Lau was handsome, but it was just handsome. Nothing special. I didn't find him so handsome until I saw this film! " After some regrets, I was still amazed. The gray style of the whole movie is full of relaxed atmosphere, funny and quiet, and the ending is light and sad, revealing free and easy, giving people hope and endless aftertaste. Andy Lau's performance was excellent. He played the role of a cool, smart and brave thief, just right.
2. If there is love in heaven. For people born in the 1970s, I'm afraid this film is unforgettable. Young, affectionate, rebellious and loyal, Andy Lau's younger brother image is unprecedented in the Jianghu. At that time, he had a handsome young face, so cool that he had an expression in his bones. His unruly eyes become affectionate when he meets love. He is lonely, he is rebellious, and he is loyal. He is a gangster who robs houses all day, slashes people or gets hacked, but he can't destroy the kindness and fiery enthusiasm hidden in his heart. In the film, he broke the glass of the bridal shop, put on a white wedding dress, rode a motorcycle, and Jacklyn Wu in a white wedding dress sat in the back seat, hugging his waist happily. When the motorcycle was driving in the wind, Huazai leaned forward and looked at the front firmly, wiping the nosebleeds from time to time. Background music is Beyond's dark space. This scene makes many boys and girls feel that they are dreaming. Coco Wenli later said: At that time, when I watched If There is Love in Heaven, I envied Jacklyn Wu very much. Some people say that in the film starring Andy Lau and Chow Yun Fat, Andy Lau will always be Chow Yun Fat's younger brother. Yes, the image of Chow Yun Fat's eldest brother makes people look up, and Andy Lau's younger brother goes deep into the bone marrow of fans.
3. With the passage of tears. Young Andy Lau, young Jacky Cheung, young Maggie Cheung and young Wong Kar-wai make up a young film. In this movie, Andy Lau plays the boss-Jacky Cheung's boss. Andy Lau, the boss, is a bit down and out. He is not the boss of the absolute monarch. He doesn't have hundreds of brothers, and he doesn't have endless dollar bills. He only has a dirty brother named Wu Fei following him. What this disappointing little brother can do is to get into trouble again and again and let the boss wipe his ass. The boss is full of pride and courage. The part about going to ask the fat man for the bill is concise and exciting. Blackfly was beaten like a pig's head, and Jen went into the den alone to avenge her brother. Sharp eyes make each other frustrated. When he met the naive young Maggie Cheung, he began to get tired of fighting and killing. However, that point in the Jianghu did not return, and his loyalty finally made him fall under the gun of the police. In the film, Andy Lau is wearing a black T-shirt and sunglasses, sitting on the bus with Qing Wu in his mouth, but he is breathtaking. I'm afraid that Mark, the car cleaner in Hero, can match him. At that time, Andy Lau's acting was a little immature, but it was a young role, a little less sophisticated and a little more simple.
4. ah fu. The impulse of youth has gone away, and the tempering of years is written on the face. Andy Lau, with a beard, no longer has the brilliance of youth, but reveals the unique vicissitudes of mature men. Mistakes are the price of youth; Responsibility is the result of growth; Vicissitudes are the precipitation of years. Afu's eyes, washed by lead, are deep and restrained, like an endless story book. The most tender scene in the film is that on the train, Ah Fu's daughter * falls asleep on her father's shoulder, and Ah Fu gently covers her with clothes. Facing the intimacy of my daughter who met for the first time, it was a bit unnatural and enjoyable. The most touching scene is that Ah Fu hesitated and finally started chasing a nun's car. His steps are firm and firm. Is he just chasing that car? Is he chasing something that has passed away, or is it a brand-new future? The nun cried. Takako Tokiwa, who plays a nun, later said that she didn't use eye drops when shooting the scene. When she looked at Andy Lau, she couldn't help crying three times.
Wooden head, wooden head
5. Infernal Affairs. Perhaps this film can be called Andy Lau's subversive work. The role of Liu Jianming is different from all his previous roles. The previous roles were basically positive (except the Battle of Purple Mountain), but this time his role was very vague. The role of a gangster who broke into a police station is an innovation for the film. It is also a challenge for Andy Lau. To our surprise, he successfully completed the task.
He hovers between good and evil, between light and darkness. How can he define justice and evil in such an embarrassing and helpless situation? He comes from hell, but he pretends to be human. He yearns for this world, but he can't find the way to the light. Andy Lau played such a role in a contradictory world, struggling on the edge of good and evil. In the garage, Ceng Zhiwei ran for his life in panic. When he dialed Liu's mobile phone, he heard the bell ringing in the empty garage, and Zeng's face began to show fear. Liu came out slowly, his eyes were calm and cold, and then he heard a gunshot. On the roof, Liu Jianming and Chen Yongren confronted each other. Facing Chen's gun, Liu said categorically: I want to be a good person! Finally, at the funeral, Liu raised his right hand and made a solemn ceremony. His eyes seem to reflect the courage to be reborn under the low brim.
In the prediction of the Golden Awards voted by Hong Kong senior artists, Andy Lau had an advantage, but in the end, Andy Lau lost to Tony Leung Chiu Wai at the Golden Bauhinia, Golden Statue and Golden Horse Awards Ceremony, which was due to luck. Personally, I think that in the performance of Infernal Affairs, Liu is slightly better. In the hearts of most fans, Andy Lau is also the uncrowned king.
6. forever and ever. This film was shot by Andy Lau's own Skyscreen Company. It is Andy Lau's attempt at literary films. Although the film didn't sell well and didn't get the applause it deserved, I think the role played by Andy Lau was very successful. In the film, he is bohemian, unruly, full of wildness, and dares to love and hate. In the film, after he was played as a stuntman by a big star, his murderous eyes suddenly fully showed the wildness of the role. The part where I combed my hair in front of the mirror was beautiful again. Some people say that the camera is the one that imitates Tony Leung Chiu Wai's hair in The Story of Teddy Boy. I think that shot of Liang is very petty, and that of Liu is even more amazing.
7. The legend of the mayor. In Andy Lau's early works, the role of police is deeply rooted in people's hearts. This time, he is still a policeman, but compared with the sunny and just police in the past, the mayor is a gangster who embezzled 500 million yuan. Andy Lau's role spans from the youth of the mayor to the old age, but it is effortless. Andy Lau's performance is natural and fluent, from a young policeman who just started his career to an unscrupulous detective in Absolute Monarch. In the conversation with the old boss, he grabbed the money and said that if I want to collect black money, I have to collect enough 100 million. This kind of psychological change has disappeared a young and fair little policeman and created a big corrupt official. His performance gives people a strong sense of psychological identity. In front of his ex-girlfriend's bed, facing his son, played by Aaron Kwok, it was also impressive. Interestingly, Aaron Kwok, who is also the four kings, plays the son of Andy Lau, but he doesn't feel awkward at all. Looks like his son. It can be seen that the old mayor played by Andy Lau is just ready. This role earned him an Oscar nomination.
8. gambler 1999. Chow Yun Fat's gambler wears a halo, which makes people look up. Andy Lau is a gambler. Be a civilian. He has no strong influence and thousands of followers. He has only one clever head. He was betrayed by his wife and threatened by the enemy. Gamblers are more free and easy than gamblers' nobles. The gambler in Andy Lau is a prodigal son. Hua zai, who is not young, is really handsome and has nothing to say. This role, in gambling films, can be said to be beyond the reach of future generations.
9. Chariot of Fire. He is a fan who loves racing. He likes to race with the wind. He is rebellious, he is incompatible with his father, and even hates his father; He was stubborn and refused to bow his head in the face of his father's threats and inducements; He is lonely, he loves cars, he wants to race cars, but he doesn't have a car; He is persistent, and racing is his life. For his girlfriend, he is not gentle enough, even a little male chauvinism. He has a group of friends who like racing cars. He is recognized as 1. What impressed me most about this movie was the clip of Andy Lau chatting with Wu Dawei. Wu Dawei finally opened Andy Lau's closed heart, and the two chatted very speculatively. "What are you most afraid of in your life?" "I am most afraid of being old and have nothing to remember!"
10, the true story of punk. In this film, Andy Lau is not the protagonist, and there are not many lines. Most scenes are quietly patrolling the street in police uniforms and raincoats. Without too many expressions and unnecessary movements, his inner world is almost always expressed with his eyes. I don't know much about Wong Kar-wai's films. If I didn't look carefully, I wouldn't even notice the existence of Andy Lau. But his role always gives me a feeling that I want to say.
Andy Lau has made more than 100 films, some of which were born shoddy, but there are also many excellent ones. The choice of these ten roles is also emotional and may not be completely representative. Others, such as "The Big Guy", have not seen the Hong Kong version, and the evaluation is not good. "Slimming Men and Women" may be Andy Lau's most satisfactory, so I'll just talk about my feelings here. Besides, I haven't seen a movie like "Go to the Angry Sea". I was so young when I watched Love Outside the Law that I basically forgot the plot. His performances in movies such as Dragon in Prison, Heaven and Earth, and Dragon in Jianghu are also excellent.
