The Lonely Warrior: An Unexpectedly Captivating Tale of Redemption
I just finished watching "The Lonely Warrior," and to be honest, it was even better than I expected. I initially thought it would be a lighthearted story about a detective solving cases at the police station, but it took a surprising twist right from the start when the protagonist ended up in prison. After his release, he embarked on a journey with "Wang Er Yong" in "The Lonely Warrior," and everyone eventually moved on and found new lives or looked ahead.
Cheng Bing always made his own choices. If there were no partners to search for the killer, if Lao Zhang hadn't been accidentally hit, and if there was no reason or meaning to continue the search, should he still pursue it? Looking back at the movie, everything had a purpose. "Xiao Yudi" from the radio was Cheng Bing's daughter, and Zhong Ge and A Zhe, who helped him in prison, also played their roles smoothly without feeling forced.
Even the scene during the Lunar New Year, where "Unforgettable Tonight" played alongside firecrackers and Liao Jian bidding a melancholic farewell, and the imagery of everyone reconciling with Cheng Bing when Wang Er Yong was apprehended, were all handled exceptionally well.
Cheng Bing didn't return to his position in the police force after completing the mission, and the absence of flowers and applause made the movie feel more realistic and fitting. He found reconciliation within himself. "Please inform the chief that the mission of 'The Lonely Warrior' is complete."
