Happy Birthday, Johnnie To! May your special day be as thrilling and unforgettable as the intense standoffs in "Election," yet far less dangerous than any scene from "Drug War." Your films have taught us valuable life lessons—like never underestimate a quiet character or trust anyone holding a briefcase.From the gritty streets of Hong Kong to international acclaim, you've masterfully directed cinematic gems like "The Big Heat" and delivered sweet revenge with style in "Vengeance." Here's hoping this year brings you even more success—and fewer shootouts. Cheers to another year of brilliant storytelling, suspenseful plots, and perfectly choreographed chaos!
