Crime movie "Hand Rolled Cigarettes" movie review Commentary material Afterthoughts
This little bald guy who smuggled money turtles was hung by a gangster
The reason is very simple
Originally the gangster wanted a small turtle on the road accident
All dead balls
The little bald man was prepared to let the gangster who had paid the deposit
bear the risk of transport
This people can be happy with it
As a middleman, Chao had to come over to help Han
After all, it is the territory of others
A Chao advised the little bald head or give up
Brother wants three times the deposit compensation, so give it
After all, a good man does not want to lose in front of him ah
It took Chao a long time to save the man
Guess what, the little baldy can not stand the aggression on the head
The end is also imaginable
Although Chao tried to save the little baldy's life
But still by the turtle shell with the black boss
Snapped the U shiny bald head a knock
The last blow little bald head died on the spot
Leaving the hero Chao a little confused
Now we have to get out of this gangster's lair
Back to the Hong Kong before the incident
The British left after the handover in 1997
Chao, who had served as a soldier for them, was dumped on the land of Hong Kong, China
After he was discharged from the army, his life was very difficult.
He had to work in the triads as a middleman
He could only earn some commission to make ends meet.
Today he was involved in a business of smuggling money turtles
Tai, the gangster in sunglasses, wanted to buy some turtles for fun
Little Baldy happens to be a professional smuggler of small turtles
And look, this turtle is great!
Chao also very kindly gave Tai a price cut
The boss is the boss, very happy to ask for 100 small turtles
When it was Chao's turn to ask for commission after the business deal was done
But Tai refused to pay
This makes Chao very helpless, after all, he is the boss
It is impossible to steal from his pocket, right?
Where does Chao live?
A mixed South Asian community of poor people
Put a thousand clean hygiene on the public screen
When he got home, Little Baldy was waiting for him early
Apparently these two are working together to set up the gangster Tai
Chao also said that Baldy's price was too high
As the saying goes, there is no business, I offer a high price, he can bargain
If he does not return it, then I can not blame me for making more money
Little Baldy was not stingy, and when the deal was done
In addition to the commission, he promised to give Chao 40% of the profit
Let's take a look at another important character in this movie
South Asia's Manny in Hong Kong
He and his cousin Cappy make their living by selling powder
This is a day when Kinder Chick Egg gets hurt
They would hide the drugs inside the eggshells and sell them covertly
Vinnie had a little brother.
The two blended in with a group of yellow-skinned Hong Kongers
Speaking authentic Cantonese.
They are Hong Kong people but they are not Hong Kong people
This is perhaps the dilemma that these minorities have to face
Chao is having a hard time
The crane machine business he invested in also failed
He still owes a few million outside
The commission he earned went into Uncle Buddha's pocket
He gave Chao a final order
Within two weeks must pay back the money
Otherwise, don't blame him for not being polite
He had no choice but to go to Wah who was working on the ferry
But his former comrade was barely making ends meet
How can he get a million dollars out of your mouth?
Wah said to help him ask some other brothers
Once the words came out, Chao's face changed
Because there was a change many years ago
Now no one except Wah's comrades would care to step on him
In the busy bazaar
Vinny used his brother's school bag as a cover to sell drugs
This idea was cousin Cappy's idea
Vinnie thought it was bad
We are doing something illegal
Why involve an innocent child?
Cappy didn't think it was necessary to get involved in such trivial matters.
It's not going to make any money.
He was ready to make a lot of money.
The next day, when Vinnie went to pick up the goods at his usual place.
He was shocked by the bag full of drugs in front of him.
Apparently, Cappy had stolen the goods from a major drug dealer.
Vinnie called his cousin anxiously.
But he couldn't get through. It seemed like something was going on.
Whose stuff is this?
It's Tai's, who bought the turtles.
The goods were swallowed and he sent his little brother, Hot Chicken, to track them down.
Vinnie took a look downstairs and the situation was not good.
He told his brother to hide at home alone
He was ready to take the goods and run away
But Hot Chicken is very sharp-eyed.
A glance to see that this weak-minded South Asian boy has problems
So a chase began
Vinnie ran away and entered the apartment building where Chao was
At that moment, our Chao just opened the door to throw the garbage
This gave Manny a chance to survive
Hot Chicken's men soon followed him here
They saw the figure turn into the area
So they knocked on Chao's door
Tai was angry because Nanya had swallowed $10 million of his goods
He had no choice but to let them in for the sake of the gangster.
Chao can only let them into the house to search
At this time, Manny secretly hid in the messy room
And very lucky to avoid the search of the hot chicken brother
As soon as he left, Manny made a noise when he touched something beside him.
A Chao caught him in the act
He was in debt, and the money came to him.
Chao asked for $1 million.
So he agreed to let this South Asian boy hide in his house
Manny now also has no other choice
Out is certainly a dead end can only agree to Chao's request
But he still kept an eye out
He didn't say that he had the drugs.
Instead, he secretly hid the goods somewhere in the room
As soon as Chao went out at dawn
Vinnie finally took the drugs out of the crane machine
Then he hid it in another more secret crane machine
On a rainy day, Chao went to see his deceased comrade Arden
He sat in the rain with an umbrella and smoked a hand-rolled cigarette
Some sadness and despair
Afterwards, he would patronize Arden's wife's massage parlor as usual
The relationship between the two is also very subtle
There is nothing that can't be extracted under torture.
It was only a matter of time before Cappy, who was in hiding, was caught.
The two fallen people are enjoying the afternoon comfortably
Chao would always take some tobacco from his blue metal box
and make hand-rolled cigarettes to smoke
Vinnie kindly reminded Chao that your hand-rolled cigarettes had actually gone stale
But he didn't know
What Chao smokes is not a cigarette but a memory of the past
At that moment, Manny received a call from the school
His brother was fighting at school again.
If no one goes to school, his brother will be expelled from school
But Manny couldn't leave.
So Chao had to reluctantly go to the school to run
The little brother's mouth is still hard a sorry not willing to say
Finally, Chao can only come to some hard
Only then the boy confessed to the teacher
Faced with the problem of the children of the minority Zai Chao is not reasonable
But the teacher does not seem very satisfied
The reason why the little brother beat up the others is also very simple
It's because these yellow-skinned kids don't play with him and isolate him
Chao thinks that you will only make the relationship worse
But in the isolated environment of a child's mind
Besides using violence to prove that he is not afraid of you locals
He can't think of a better way to survive in such a foreign country
It is definitely not possible for a child to stay home alone
So Chao took Vinnie's brother to Arden's wife's house
I hope she can help look after him for two days.
The two adults did not have the slightest warmth on their lips
But Chao, as the one who owes the child
One after another, the eyes between the two people have become full of deep meaning
Unfortunately, Cappy was caught with the drugs.
From this point on, the plot took a sharp turn
Chao settled down his little brother and thought that Vinny would hide for a while longer
Everything will be over and he will get his $1 million.
But another difficult event disrupts his plans
The gangster Tai called and asked Chao to go there
He came to this tiger's den
The first thing he sees is Vinny's cousin Cappy, who was killed.
Then there is the little bald turtle who was hung up
Then came the scene at the beginning of the video
We all know that our poor little bald guy was shot to death
Fortunately, the two collusion was not discovered by Tai
Chao also picked up a life
Now that the man is dead and the deposit is gone, Tai is very angry
So it's fair to deduct Chao's commission
Good man, this big brother is a little risk can not take
Can't lose any money
Faced with such a madman Chao panic ah
He went home and kicked Manny out
Once Tai knew he was harboring the man he was looking for
He would be dead for sure
Vinny was so confused that he didn't know what he had done wrong
Faced with such a situation he thought of his comrades
But obviously, except for Wah
Several other brothers hate him to the bone
Even if Chao died in the street today
They will definitely see the death will not save
So why would the former comrades in need become such a mess?
This also goes back to the Asian financial crisis
Hong Kong stocks plummeted
With the encouragement of Chao
Arden, who had borrowed from loan sharks to speculate in the stock market, lost all his money.
10 million of debt instantly crushed the man
So Arden jumped to his death
Everyone blamed Chao
If it wasn't for him, Arden wouldn't have thought about getting rich from stock trading
Would not have ended up in such a situation
So the brothers broke up with Chao
Vinnie said he had left something in his room
Chao opened the door for him
Now he realized that the eight kilograms of drugs had been in his house.
Chao couldn't contain his anger and pushed Manny to the ground
These are two pathetic people
One was being hunted by the mob and the other was carrying millions of dollars in debt.
After he calmed down, Chao told Vinnie about Cappy's death.
Different communities
But they are experiencing the darkest moment of their lives together
So two people in trouble choose to support each other
The eight kilos of drugs in their hands became their only bargaining chip
Chao used the goods to offset all his debts from Uncle Buddha's side
The rest of the money he wanted to give to Manny
But the teenager didn't want the black money
He wanted to set a good example for his brother to start a new life
Manny needed to go into hiding for a while.
His brother, Chao, will always help take care of it
The two of them can finally breathe a sigh of relief this night
Chao once again took out the blue iron box to make hand-rolled cigarettes
But reality is sometimes cruel
The mistake was when Manny went back to his place to pack his bags
Then the hot chicken who has been watching here was caught
During the questioning, the familiar blue box rolled to the ground
Tai suddenly realized
The answer was always with him
Tai was not the only one who wanted to find Chao
Little Baldy had been missing for some time, and his brother was looking for Chao.
Just when he didn't know how to explain
Tai's phone call came
The drug story had been exposed and Vinny had been arrested.
After hanging up the phone, he wanted to make up for his brother Seng.
But when they put the gun on the table
Chao had another plan to save his life
Brother Sheng wants to find Little Baldy, then take them together to see Brother Tai
The car slowly drove into the drug dealer's lair
Not far away, Vinny was hanging in mid-air
The three men soon faced off with Tai
The ruthless gangster himself would not let Chao off easily
But the side of the Sheng brother does not have the patience to watch you play
He needs to know what happened to the little bald guy in the end where
Who is Tai? He wants to ask me for a man and ask me for money
But sorry, he came prepared
The gangster boss actually did not have a gun
By Sang's small hand gun to kill all the naked
The last is even more despicable to use the little brother Hot Chicken as a shield
Faced with the threat of small pistols Tai was afraid
Put the responsibility of killing the little bald man on Hot Chicken's body
Sympathy for the little brother who was used to block the gun
Money turtle small business you see I have more than a billion dollars of drug business
Take you to join the gang and make a fortune together ah
And then the money-minded Brother Sheng also did not give his brother revenge
Two big brothers are ready to cooperate ah
Chao's little brain turned bad fish and clam play finished in advance
This time to take me to start
Wow here Chao and little brother fighting long shot is really a masterpiece ah
Two big brothers sitting on the mountain watching the tiger fight
Just see Chao lighter a throw a little brother instantly engulfed in flames
Two rooms panning conversion this is what a gangster fight should look like
In the end, it was amazing that Chao could fight so well
All of the boys were beaten up
Fighting is really a physical job
At this point, Chao had no more strength
Facing Tai who beat Manny with a crowbar
Chao could not do anything anymore
But the fortune teller said that Tai would have a bloodbath this year
And guess what, our hot chicken brother has not yet died
Before he dies, he has to kill this thing that has no sense of righteousness
You do not say that the fortune teller really his aim is accurate
Brother Sang smoked a cigarette and watched the whole show for free
Then left a message and left the scene
To the death and then to life
Two people were lucky to survive
At the end of the film, at the behest of Chao
Vinnie gave an envelope to his comrade
Inside the envelope is the story of Chao's self-redemption.
The 20 million Hong Kong dollars owed by his comrade Arden
Chao actually paid it all back
Maybe he let go of his past
Maybe he will still suffer for the rest of his life because of his comrade's death
There are some sufferings and sins that we have to bear
This is perhaps the meaning of existence on earth
The movie has a lot to say but I can't explain it well.
I hope the audience will bear with me
(End)
