that John Woo Hero series, few people preferred face.Pride on the man named, for its part as a hero; to rivers and lakes romance is concerned, it is not as good as Thief; to classical chivalry is concerned, it is not as good as The Killer; to the epic structure is concerned, it is not as good as Bullet in the Head.However, when I carefully re-view the film, decided to ranked the top three films of John Woo.It is the aesthetics of violence in Hollywood Wu perfect demonstration killings to police chase rendering brotherhood, successfully grafted into the hail of bullets Western family values, self-completed domestic divine salvation.In this film, when revenge becomes redemptive, when Adam Sean holding the shuttle in a hail of bullets, the human victory over hatred, the cold melting tenderness, father expelled bullets.

one, when to be his own enemy

like surging rivers and lakes, face is a story about revenge.Black and white in the strong opposition in the beginning, one side is the amusement park and only son of Michael Sean FBI detectives game warm scenes of frolic, and the other side of the hillside forest Castro terrorists? Troy gun cold eyes.Sean wanted to assassinate Castro, the results of manslaughter Mike.Sean grief, vowed to kill the child culprits to justice, two of which have forged hatred.

son Sean into the pain of loss, such as fatigue machines never work as hard, revenge becomes to remove the haze, the only way to regain the sun.By chance, he learned from the informant Fidel clues, some seriously injured after fighting his brother Fidel, and an arrest a group of Boer.Revenge for the child, the people forces, Sean thought to remove the heart from stress and return to comfortable living.At this time, things unexpected changes, Castro has been unconscious after the arrest, meaning that the devil can not be brought to the dock, kill the son of the enemies will not get legal redress.To make matters worse, the Boer told the police that Castro was arrested in a crowd before the public placed a powerful gas bombs, the place would rather die than move, the trial deadlocked.To avoid disaster, the FBI out of step risky move: using advanced medical technology to Sean installation Fidel's face, supplemented by voice disguised, so as Fidel Sean makeup to cover the prison population from the Boer place gas bombs in secret locations.

face plan is highly confidential, Sean became a wicked night, the terrorists, kill the enemy sub Castro, seen as the most dangerous criminals in prison.Initially, the idea of ​​planned development in full accordance with the Police, Sean skillfully sets out from the Boer population induced gas bombs hidden in New York City Convention Center.However, things renewable changes, coma miraculously revived Fidel, he will be counted on the total stress doctor will face Sean installation yourself, then plan to kill all the insiders face.Castro transformed into FBI officers to Sean as when the police chief, and went to Sean's house to take his life.Sean could not confirm the identity, as Cass was always in prison.

how to reveal the true face of Sean and Fidel? Sean can successfully re-captured Fidel revenge? Castro's status and power by Sean what will move? Clouds of suspicions makes the characters and intricate, obscure, plot the ups and downs.Sean and Cass start their operations with a false identity, Sean managed to escape from prison, and Castro's old friend tried to wait for an opportunity to restore the facts mixed together, and Castro in a show the way into the police removed their place in the Conference Center in New York bombs, a presidential commendation and respected Police Force, sometimes thunder without the two to be rising.After fighting through a field of death, desperate to find his wife Eve Sean secretly, to tell her the truth.Eve confused and skeptical, with the blood of the way that the truth get to the bottom.What goes around, comes around, 西恩约卡斯 in the quiet, solemn cathedral for a final end, to kill Castro to regain status.

Second, family salvation

for the Chinese audience, the face is an extremely familiar with the concept of martial arts have a lot of makeup mask of human skin using the plot.For Westerners, the terrorists and the occupation of a federal police detective whose career and life, is simply incredible thing.John Woo know the attractiveness of face for the Americans, to create you have me, I have you feeling as intoxicated, but did not stay in the area face transplant, but in-depth analysis of the lives of American families facing crisis thief with a police completed a family of self-salvation.

son's death to the spirit of Sean's family living in the dark, the adolescent daughter began to deteriorate, husband and wife relationship is no longer harmonious, always hidden separatist crisis.Supporting the family has not the perfect family, Sean's face in his hands gently stroked his wife slips in the night for the disobedient daughter covered with blankets.No doubt, Sean loved his family, but he was bound to hate, determined to hunt down Fidel revenge for the child.Face transplant after he met with Fidel Castro as his mistress, when seen with his own son, the son of Cass similar age Asian time, remembrance of hatred into the father, so that protection in a hail of bullets in the enemy's son.When Sean can not restore their identity, realized that only the wife can help him.At home, in the face do not believe their own identity, his wife, but keep eyes the pain and sorrow.After some effort, just predictable, Sean back into the arms of his wife and daughter, he took Adam said to his wife: he needs a home.Nodded knowingly wife, his daughter go to a new room with Adam, Adam make up the vacancy left by Mike, a complete home re-established.

three black and white friendship forest

compact solid script, making the face as John Woo in Hollywood, a peak in a good word of mouth, box office revenue.Axis of the face transplant story designed as to give the appearance of the same person in two different heart, or that the same mind with two completely different faces, the audience and Sean together as if into a mirror with Fidel maze, difficult to distinguish the direction of , lost self.This is not a true story, the story is dramatic, as the comments of The Times: A dark, clever and violent movies.

video of a conventional anti-Hollywood gangster film, not playing a simple game of cat and mouse, but the design of an extreme state of human relations, and in this state to find a philosophical proposition , that is good and evil struggle and transformation.John Woo is not only to promote justice over evil, the real world to praise the brotherhood, even the evil camp a gangster a killer performance at the moment out of loyalty and friendship.

brother is a most favorite words of John Woo and relationships, a brother is a mutual understanding to know each other, is a hero thinks highly creative partnership, is a tacit understanding Needless to say, is a disregard All of the trust, is willing to pay for each other the spirit of life is an action revealed a look of warmth.

face to enlarge the meaning of the brothers, continued Tomorrow, The Killer blurred black and white justice, every person who shone the light of human nature and common destiny of pride.Cui Di Castro's old friend is steadfast in upholding the arena man, his body pressed his hand after a few shells spurting neck, if nothing had happened to his sister goodbye, fall in the arms of Sean optimistic brother one last time.Sasha Valentine Kass were removed from drug traffickers and terrorists though, but she also has love as a mother, to pay more sweetheart lives.The multifaceted nature of the character handling, breaking the strict distinction between justice and evil, life and death to life spent on the battle enjoy blooming, it is sad sad eyes Sean, is the sad loss of Eve expression is Adam lovely pure smile, is Sasha dying last words, the world can not mask the beauty of violence.

Castro is to become the ashes of the New York terrorist devil, but it will carefully tied shoelaces to his brother, a handful of shots on the screen vividly brotherhood; he looked cold and murderous, but brother died in the fall from a height, the eyes sparkling with tears; he appears vicious demons, but in the manslaughter of his son Sean, the eyes showing a hint of remorse.Sean and Cass have sworn revenge, but when he faced his son Fidel lovely, all the hatred vanished, to bring warmth thick dark violent vendetta.

four, ritualized violence and writing

from a hero to face, from Chow Yun Fat to John? Travolta, Nicolas? Cage, all of them are eye shades and wearing a black trench coat, armed with modern guns Xia Spear footed.Pigeons, churches, candles, Jesus, Mary, the golden Desert Eagle, with flames flying out of bullets and other landmark debut full props, shot in slow motion, and upgraded to show figures such as dance-like movements and shooting into the sky Tiannvsanhua like countless burst point, the entire screen display aesthetics of violence has become a big stage.If violence is impossible to eradicate the culture of the film original sin, then John Woo is in his way to a world of sin can not be saved.All of the bullets, all the blood, and all violent deaths are not used to write a song, but to violence in the solemn silence of the church, in the wings of a dove wings flush, the crucifixion of Jesus as the suffering ago, in a low voice singing hymns coerced bullets whistling, leaving pigeons, a symbol of peace, a symbol of faith and the church in the cohesion of the man named in the blood of pride and family warmth, for the violence, one infected with the ultimate showdown the thick layer of desolation and sacred.

Sean out of jail after the police catch up with Cui Di Castro residence, in a room surrounded by mirrors fierce confrontation between the two, with his gun pointed at a mirror, this scene The Killer Chow Yun Fat and Danny Lee is the armed confrontation in the replication, one is an evil, one good one evil, one white and one black.Spiritual formation of the mirror metaphor, they see the surface but a camouflage, rather than true self, I really only exists in their heart.Both sides pull the trigger, fragmented external lens means that they completely negate the camouflage.

Woo built many scenes of confrontation between several people, creating a tense, life and death hanging in the tense atmosphere instantly.Cui Di residence and in the church, Sean and his wife, Cass and his mistress, Fidel's younger brother, Adam, Cui Di, who, they in the same room, each aimed at different target guns, a gunshot would bring any to comic effect, and can not conclude that uncertainty.Similar to the memorable scenes, such as the underdog in the confrontation when the five enemies, Wanted gang at the end of the confrontation with the police, also in exile in the Johnnie Dr.Yu Heidao house was converted to this reference.

proved once again that the Red Cliff, John Woo can not go back over.This time, when we return to Gu Wushi movie, you will find: the face after the works, John Woo by the build, enrich and develop the unique style of the master image, and gradually slide technology on a commercial line maker.Thus, the film more of a recollection of the meaning.
