Speaking of Du Qifeng, the biggest labels of directors should be "Hong Kong films" and "violent aesthetics". Many viewers will think that his films are exactly the same, and they are all taken casually. People who don't like Hong Kong police films can't watch Du Qifeng's films completely, so that his films are widely controversial on Douban. Let's talk about Du Qifeng's own creative style. In fact, all his films have an unusually strong personal style. Hong Kong gangster films can be divided into two categories: those directed by Du Qifeng and those directed by others.
Generally speaking, Du Qifeng's films can be divided into two stages, namely, pre-galactic reflection period and galactic reflection period. Before 1996, Du Qifeng didn't make a galaxy image, but he mainly worked for others to make movies. There were many restrictions and few people could express their ideas, so the rate of good films was low, but there were still some fine works like A-lang's stories. When discussing Du Qifeng's achievements in the future, there is no doubt that the focus will be on Du Qifeng in the period of galactic reflection. During this period, Du Qifeng joined hands with Wei Jiahui, Qiu Naihai and other experts to create a unique film style. This style was born out of Hong Kong movies in the 1980s and 1990s. At the same time, it is very personal, mainly cold. The representative works in the early stage, such as dark flowers, gun fire and dark warfare, all have similar characteristics.
Du Qifeng is one of the few directors who make movies seriously. His creation is consistent, generally speaking, black, violence, movement and fate. People like and appreciate Du Qifeng's films. Apart from his black philosophy, simple techniques and aesthetic attitude towards violence interpretation, the most important thing is that his films always give the audience a sense of shame beyond sight. Du Qifeng's most eye-catching film is "bullets". This film not only boldly broke through the limitations of gangster Jianghu movies, but also laid the foundation of "Du Aesthetics".
