I think "a better tomorrow" is the best film of John Woo ever. the description of their brotherhood is very true, and the gun-shoot scenes are brilliant, even better than nowadays'. The Film won best actor (Chow Yun Fat) and best picture (a better tomorrow) and 9 nominations in Hong Kong film awards in 1987. It also becomes the top-grossing film in Hong Kong for several years.

I love this movie very much because Chow Yun Fat is cool in this movie. His long coat,sun-glasses and are the icons of 80'S. By the way, their is a classic scene at the end of the movie, he is shot by 4X bullets and died which is inspired by Bonnie & Clyde in 1967.
