  • "Sonachine" is directed by Takeshi Kitano. It tells the story of Murakawa, a famous and cruel gang leader, who has been rolling in the rivers and lakes for many years and could not help thinking of retirement, but the big boss Kitashima sent him to deal with the emerging Anan group. In fact, Murakawa didn't want to go, but he couldn't help but agreed due to Gang Gui. As soon as they arrived, they fell asleep, and most of the men that Murakawa had brought were annihilated. Murakawa fled to the beach with a few confidantes. To pass the time, a few big men played games that seemed naive but hidden murderousness. Later, Murakawa discovered that Beidao had used the Anan group's dispute to weaken Muragawa’s power. Muragawa went straight to the scene where Beidao and the Anan group were allied to a massacre, and Murakawa retreated. On the way back, he raised his gun towards his own. Head.

      fucking

      One star less is because of my own reasons, I don't understand too much. The plot, recalling all kinds of struggles between gangsters, may be a local habit. They chose to avoid the limelight by the beach, and they met a woman, and it felt like Kawabata Yasunari. I still think the storyline is developing very strangely, maybe I'm not Japanese. It's nothing more than a gangster who went from Tokyo to a place to help their boss, and then something happened at the bar. They found that things...

      People in the arena involuntarily

      Kitano Takeshi's "Sonata" breaks the routine and stereotypes of gangster movies and removes the original stereotype of the underworld. Through the pros and cons of portraying and shaping, the underworld on the screen also exists as normal people. They also have joys and sorrows, cruelty and innocence.

      The beginning of the movie shows the irritability and cruelty of the underworld, who are willing to seek money and kill, and fight intrigue. They have no expressions on their faces in...

      "Sonata": There are talents and there is a world

      "Sonata": There are talents and there is a world

      Liu Qiang Ai Movie

      Two kinds of movies are the most difficult to make. One is highly realistic, in which human words look very real; the other is highly freehand, in which human words look unique. Reality and fancifulness are indeed opposites. As long as enough time and space are given to observe, all fancifulness can be turned into reality by mediocrity. A movie with a fan is not created out of thin air. Human beings can’t create...

      The attitude towards death is weird

      I suddenly wanted to watch a comedy, so I found this sonata with the label of comedy to watch. After reading it, Nima pondered.

      The attitude towards death is strange.

      Whether it was playing the Russian turntable or shooting fireworks, Muragawa always had a childish smile. When the gangster drowned the boss of the mahjong hall, when his subordinates were headshot in front of Muragawa, and several people in Nakamura were killed When the killer shot the lover next to him, everyone...

      Double-sided beat martial arts

      The middle-level gang cadre Takeshi Kitano and his subordinates set off together to fight in Okinawa. That posture can be written down to the style of "The Godfather", but the whole process is like a long vacation. The cold drinks on the airport shuttle van, the temporary shelter for the war, the colleagues holding umbrellas waiting by the roadside, the summer rain and the tranquil sea, these innocent fragments can always be completely separated from the violence on the other side in...

      2.5. During the viewing process, I was thinking whether this film was included in the top ten of the "Film Manual" that year. Check it out, there really is. Takeshi Kitano's performance has always been unbelievable. The narration is basically simplified, and there are some clips with the director's personal strong self-complex, such as sumo wrestling on the...

      Full of literary violence. A death full of freshness. There is no relative, only absolute. To live is to die for that glorious and beautiful death. The philosophy of violence, the art of restraint, the obsession of death, the thinking of the still. This little sonata by Takeshi Kitano is a perfect combination of artistry and...

      Death under the camera lens is a long process of thinking back to the meaning of life Kitano said that death is because I am tired of playing with life, but in the end it all flows to the...

      If that's the case, I'm going to be a gangster too, and I'm going to be an uncle's...

      Takeshi Kitano tells violent stories in a calm camera, which makes the audience feel cool and nervous. The rhythm of this piece is too good, and the game play at the beach echoes the final suicide by drinking bullets. Innocence is only temporary... Rather than being ended by others, you should choose to end it yourself. Five points for the...
