How to evaluate the movie Two Thumbs Up?

Poetry and books in literature/dreams

The humor of a thief shouting to catch a thief is not derogatory in Two Thumbs Up. This black comedy with strong Hong Kong charm highlights the best light of human nature with the feeling of brotherhood. However, the pertinent proposition was defeated by the director, and the long and immature director skills made people play again and again. Although the film is not as good as people hope, it is still a unique theme of black humor rendering.

The idea of this film is unexpected. The two thumbs rushed out of the constant confrontation between Hong Kong police and bandits films, which did not involve any complicated brain burning suspense. On the contrary, it is ridiculous to catch a thief in the dark for a month. In this type of Hong Kong film, it is inseparable from the loyalty of the rivers and lakes. This element is also very suitable for the plot in the film, which not only makes the tension full, but also presents the complexity of human nature with endless charm.

The four thieves are brothers. They want to play the role of robbing the police wealth and saving themselves, and rob the bodies to launder money. Unexpectedly, they saved the ice cream girl who was poisoned by tea. When robbing money, they even accidentally met another group of really evil armed bandits who thought the same way, and saved a little girl again. However, when their companions were accidentally captured, money and loyalty extended the plot, which opened the process of changing their minds. Criminals When they saved the first girl who was almost killed, in fact, this film has laid a heroic tone for the "Four Thieves", and Ku Kuiji's police auxiliary line series in the film shows "Heroes are bosses, policemen are wage earners", "Underwear is worn outside" and "It doesn't matter what you wear". These are lines that ridicule and praise heroes, and also sublimate the theme.

As a director or creative screenwriter, Ho Leung Lau doesn't know how to become a director. Seeing this movie, I can't help thinking of Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels, which is also the first show of black humor director Grics. The latter makes the film brilliant in a multi-threaded way, while the former is untimely and premature, lacking the narrative ability of overall control, and the chaotic spatial overlap makes the film unable to see convincing logic. Even if the film is classified as a surreal work, the metaphor of the cockroach disaster in Hong Kong is not beautiful. The first film is difficult to perform, the second film is difficult to finish, and the film structure is generally good, which makes Two Thumbs Up more innovative and difficult to become a classic.

The biggest highlight of this film is that a group of real robbers treat themselves as real policemen with a sense of justice, but they tell the true meaning of a hero without preaching. Although it is difficult to hang the banner of "doing justice for heaven" in today's legal society, the just act of "speaking out when you see injustice" is indeed a kind act that everyone can do.
