Haha.. here comes the movie day again...Watched a movie by 王晶. I thought he was suppose to be a comedian director.. But this time he's the baddie.. and as usual taking a side character :P. But according to Kuroi Sensei, his movies and jokes ( in comedy terms ) are considered lame.. it was the other director ( which i've forgotten his name ) was good in humour.. Yes.. real humour-by-creativity... nothing to do with graphics and computer effects.
Ahhh.. i miss the good old days of Stephen Chow,.. where he was already a good actor.. but yet to start directing his own movies..
Anyways.. back to ICAC.. Not 'Independant Commission Against Corruption'.. but about 'I Corrupt all cops'. It wasn't as breathtaking as 'Connected' (starring Louis Koo).. but it shows the history of how the real ICAC came up.. Unlike Forensic Heroes, where the police force and forensic team standing firm on the side of justice, HK (Back then) was immensely corrupted from the core of the organisation. (According to the movie).
worth watching, but have no eye-opener expectation.. just another story.. but a meaningful one to make us appreciate how the ICAC came up from scratch.. Its pretty much of a struggle since back then, majority only thought the start of ICAC was a mere joke...
I love the role of Eason Chan.. well.. he was pretty much on the dark side of the movie.. despite had to choose to 'accept' the bribe ( since back then its against the ppl if u dun't accept it).. he kept his words not to reveal the mastermind of the corrupt organization.. yet paying for his part of his mistakes... Thus, living his future life with his all-time-loving wife May.
Well, the guy like Eason Chan in the movie aside ( because his character typically fictional.. guys like dat don't ezist).. but his life outcome is very real.. In this movie..
Eason had 10 wives.. prior to cover his other affair of his acquantainces.. he had to marry all of them.. and the total sum up to 10.. ( A norm in the 70's).
Only the 4th wife is truly loving and loyal to him..
When the outbust of corruption became serious, the remaining 9 wives ran away with his money.. Well, hell yea.. don't even blink.. this is what happens.. and just like Apple ( one of Eason's lover ) said..
"when it comes to money.. Even a 'father and son relationship' can't be trusted".
Haih... sad.. How ironic in life, a sad but true statement that i can safely say "Money corrupts all ppl" not only cops ( in this movie ). Put the obvious extreme case aside, some tend to forget their roots once situation changes.
Human tend to forget what life used to be.. in short.. their own roots.. I am thankful to have those around me reminding me not to forget how life has always been.. and what are the core things to prioritize. End of the day, when shit happens, money can't always solve it for you..
Money does bring certain level of comfort in our lives... What peace does it make when it is associated with brutality, infidelity, dishonesty, and false accusation?
Must have been due to whether lately..... Feverish now =(.. getting some sleep tonite.....
*Oh by the way, Anthony Wong cursed too much in this movie.. this is just simply unnecessary...
