China, South Korea and the United States, those routines and images that are used in gangster movies: Mainland China: Build a civilized and harmonious society together, we have no gangsters. Hong Kong, China: In addition to being majestic, the most important thing is loyalty. Before the black and white are torn apart, they must occupy the moral commanding heights. In the police and bandit office, the second brother Guan is all worshipped, and the respected Jianghu grandpa is invited to preside over the situation. During the negotiation, the leaders did not say a word from each corner. The split friends said that there must be a scene, and everyone who can fight has to fill the scene, and it is often a big fight between one or two hundred people. The disaster is not as good as the family. Sister Gouyi is a taboo in all corners of the world. She will stop after the last vote. It is standard to implement family law to clean up the door. Young and Dangerous Boys disdain to use guns, and the double-flowered red stick is out of place. The brotherhood of the bloody alliance cannot be born in the same year, the same month, the same day, but only wish to die in the same year, the same month, and the same day. South Korea: People are young and old, and they are high and low. The elder brother must be ruthless, and the sister-in-law must be coquettish enough. Takeout must order fried noodles. There is always a baseball bat in the car. Torture loves waterboarding. He is used to knives and hammers. He looks like a triad in a black suit. The shady business must be related to the sale of organs, habitually black neighbors, and the most ruthless are the smugglers from the west. There is not enough rain to make up the scene. It must be pouring rain during the big fight. The mud and black blood make the picture look dark and dirty, and slow motion is indispensable. The United States: As the first gun country, the selection and preparation of weapons before the war is always the most interesting scene. The spoof movie prefers to choose various exaggerated or weird equipment, and the revenge movie chooses the exquisite and lethal artifact. On the eve of the incident, the protagonist was dressed in the shower, filled and loaded, and it was essential to kiss and wear good luck items. If you have the conditions, there will be a beautiful woman to accompany you for a moment, and the villain always talks too much nonsense at the critical moment. ————————— Japanese gangsters ————————— There aren’t many gangster films in Japan, but this one is definitely an anomaly. All of the above common routines are not seen, and the sword is slanted. Except for Otomo, the core character played by Takeshi Kitano, who can feel a little more at ease and don't have to show his face and immediately take the lunch box and leave, the other top horses are really not guaranteed. The film is coherent and smooth, the rhythm is too fast to handle, and there is a small climax almost every ten minutes. There was a fight between organizations, tigers ate leopards, elephants ate tigers, but in the end, mice would come and pierce their ears. Honesty? Only interests and scheming; talk about pomp? The bosses of each faction end up with an ugly corpse on the street; when it comes to blood, the scene is full of taste, but there are ridicule points that can't be laughed or laughed. There is no good character in the whole film. It is purely a nest of snakes and rats. The film has a subtitle called "All Villains", which is apt. The brave who meet on a narrow road wins, and whoever is cruel enough can survive. Cold, swift, crisp, one-shot kills. Takeshi Kitano blended his refreshing killing aesthetics with black humor in the movie. Several gangster-style apology scenes where he cut his little finger and a bunch of his subordinates were shot and killed by random guns were originally supposed to be terrifying and gloomy scenes. But because of the little tricks he arranged (cutting his fingers and handing a utility knife, the killer who shot people in the toilet still remembered to take off his shoes, and his subordinates were beaten by random guns), it became ridiculous. It's not just gangsters who have been underworld, but even a non-existent ambassador from an African country has been installed, using diplomatic immunity to act as a hotbed of gangland crime. Playing with the usually invincible foreigners in the palm of his hand is also considered Kitano Takeshi's bad taste. Before Kitano's own work, he never made a sequel, but "Extremely Wicked" has made three consecutive films, which shows that he has a soft spot for this series.
