There is no justice to say - the comparison between the most evil and the traditional Hong Kong gangster film

When watching this movie, I always hope that the younger brothers will be merciful and let go of the old boss, but what surprises me every time is that the characters in this movie are all innocent. compassion. If you are hostile, you must kill if you are killed, no matter if you are the old boss or the younger brother who is making soy sauce; if you are about money, you must receive what you should receive, but also forget the pumping water, whether you are an ambassador from a poor country in Africa or outside the group 's boss.
Let me have the idea of ​​letting him go because I have watched too many traditional Hong Kong gangster movies. In Hong Kong's underworld movies, "righteous characters and lines" are usually described. The police and the underworld are basically absolute opposites. There is a party that clearly represents "evil" in the underworld, while the protagonists represent "good", and the bosses always There is a subordinate who is as close as a brother or a son, and there is a basic principle: do not shoot at ordinary civilians. And Takeshi Kitano's film is almost the exact opposite of the above principles. There is no righteousness in the underworld group. All interests come first. The group leader will take the oil and water of the subordinate group leader, and the brothers will also cheat for money. Some police officers are entangled with the underworld, and the interests among them are complicated. As Hong Kong translates this movie as "all the villains", there are no good people in the group; the younger brothers have appeared many times, killing the boss seems to be commonplace, and they are ruthless and do not need to say more.
It may be that Hong Kong movies want to give the audience a hope that the people in the underworld are not completely bad people. They are also a group of flesh and blood people, which can shape a more real story. The reason why the wicked feel more real and crisp is that they are a triad, and there is no need to talk so much with you; so much nonsense, so many children and love, they can really become a gangster that dominates the Quartet ? It is Kitano's style that brings the Japanese underworld movies to the fullest.
