A.Chinaman based on Stephen Lesser's 1992 novel <The Chinaman> adaptation, a derogatory and sarcastic words, better translation is "Chinese bad guys" do not talk about it. So it is not only about crime, but in the political thriller as the background, tells the story of a foreigner, can "< > Chinese guy" in Britain's tragic story. The film appears to be in the political thriller, the essence is in the description of Chinese in London sad background.
Martin Campbell was sophisticated, with rich criminal action movie shooting experience, including <007 gold eye > < < >, edge of darkness, the crime bill >. He shot the political conspiracy piece also is not the first time, the movie's 2010 > edge of darkness about British nuclear pollution, and high sensitive assassination in 2012, ABC's political drama < > to war, war and political association of silk thread. Five years later, Martin Campbell again directed political crime film "British showdown >, the approach of sophisticated, it is compact and has a solid foundation for this drama.
Jackie Chan's change, really be said too much, in his own words (the effect): "I have been seeking to change, if a year to the audience full of" rush hour 1,2,3>, the audience is not greasy, I also feel tired. So I finished "new police story", and to take the treasure plan < >, < > shoot baby plan to shoot, "young soldiers. Is I have a plan, take some action, then turn back to shoot a partial text. Then I could be his next film director, an art film, may just do not show the director, I want to let the audience know, I will do the art film director, finished after the audience to judge if the audience said oh bad (tanshou, forget it (laughs) hahaha cute)"
So the Jackie Chan starred in a completely different and the tragic "Chinese guy" role, and dedication to the superb acting, I take it as a reward for the Oscar Lifetime Achievement Award. Guan Yuming is not a good play, but the eyes are old and clumsy walk, light. A plane is experienced the Vietnam War suffering. Yearning for a quiet life and a veteran, is home to hate, would rather bet on the life of the Avengers. He seemed to see the beginning of the film to her daughter in the car chatting told, I knew this Chinese loved his daughter, his daughter is afraid of being deceived, but also worried that too much care will let her heart how about the students conflict. Gingerly, holding her corpse eyes. When there is more pain. So that was alive and kicking Jackie Chan disappeared, with Guan Yuming Guan Yuming with malicious life, old tired face and A desperate look was returned
The film story seemingly burning brain, is not complicated, played by Jackie Chan Guan Yuming as a dark line, for the purpose of taking revenge for the audience pulling out of Pilsb Brosnaan's Hennessy this line. The story rhythm compact, shot off calm, like a jade bright guide, hold out Hennessy walk in the terrorist organization UDI and the British government the shady. In Han's eyes, this "Chinese guy" is a typical kind of weakness, no social status Chinese, but the surprise is that this "China guy", well versed in tactics and strategy, the tension of the background music with the show, with a Swiss Army knife diversion, but in reality for the manufacture of explosives in the bathroom scene experienced; and the vehicle blew up the farm, had insight into the enemy intention, in the depths of the forest layout layers trap tactics; even jungle raid experts, he was also struggling to catch Wonderful fight. So far, the Chinese image by the weak become strong, as if the < > Jason Byrne Bourne soul, let Han had a deep fear.
The role of Guan Yuming can be removed, the story is still intact?, the authorities finally can still get the terrorist list, then the government will annihilate, the end. But, what is this movie will lose the core things? Is this man Guan Yuming. Guan Yuming, this is also experienced the Vietnam War "China guys, actually represents, is a foreign showstopper, his way of tracking, intimidation and revenge, are proof of the fact that I was" China guy ", but I'm not a bully is any" Chinese guy ", I have my dignity. Although I fell and the bottom line down, but I still have to fight for what I insist. This is Guan Yuming as a" <foreigner> "to the British answer. Back to the small restaurant, holding Guan Yuming after being apart a long time lover Lin Baoyi, mouth revealing a smile, smile. With endless fatigue and helplessness
The film with little to show the pattern of political ecology, and finally focus back to the small up footage of calm, grief at separation and joy in Union, shooting sophistication, political intrigue and revenge fight, director Martin Campbell seems to want so much more, in Northern Ireland political, historical and ecological background, is trying to show the dirt and politicians struggle and use unscrupulous divisive tactics, focusing on the tragic fate of people, which is the actual causal relation, no matter how many years of history has been flowing, those with blood on their hands, also do not wash the net of innocent people and vulnerable groups at the expense of pain and sad. You can see the end of the movie a bit hasty, and Guan Yuming Han's ending is not completely clear. If the account together with a force, will be the final outcome of Guan Yuming and Han's at the confluence between politicians and civilians Karma do a bold exposition, this drama is likely to become a classic. However, there is no doubt that, in any case, the movie directed by virtue of its excellent performance and has a good year, this year can not be ignored.
