Since October, I have been paying attention to this new work by Takeshi Kitano, watching the trailer over and over again. This is really the only trailer I've ever seen without a woman. Pure old man. At that time, I wondered if this was a "pure man" movie. Could it be that Kitano Takeshi only arranged a group of uncles for us this time? After watching the film, there are women, all of whom are supporting roles.
The underworld is the way of men, the struggle of a group of men whose profession is violent and bloody. A woman can only be a foil. The brotherhood that fascinated countless fans in Takeshi Kitano's films in the past has been compressed to only a few moments in "Extremely Wicked".
The theme revealed in the whole film: the black-handed can't play the black-hearted, and the black-hearted can't play the more black-hearted. Because they are all villains, mixed in a cruel living environment. But I still have to say that many of these professional villains are still alive and alive, and they are evil enough to be human. Unlike some people who are mechanically blunt evil.
The film is also known as "All the villains". As the name implies, there is no good person, from the underworld to the police, it is pitch black, and there is no light. But I actually found a character who abides by the morality of the rivers and lakes, that is Mizuno played by Shiina Kihei. Otomo feels that the defeat is set and the most trusted Mizuno runs away. But in the end, because of Ishihara's betrayal, Mizuno also died tragically.
Otomo, a small leader, got involved in the gang's power struggle for no reason. Although his subordinates and others are very tricky, in the end, they cannot resist the division of fate, conspiracy, squeeze, and failure. The rings are tightly clasped, quite Zen machine. "A failed mafia", a man's struggle.
There are many bloody scenes in this film, which exceed "Big Brother" and belong to the restricted level. Chinese movies have been slow to implement grading. How many children are there in "Let the Bullets Fly" in the theater? Is this evil, or is it wrong? Suddenly I remembered a sentence Jet Li said in "Face to Face". Everyone thinks the One Foundation's model is correct, but it just can't be done! He only said half of the truth, and the other half of the truth is: many things everyone knows are wrong, but they just can't change it!
Takeshi Kitano was not satisfied with "The Wicked and the Wicked". He only scored 60 points, and a sequel has to be made. It will be released in Japan in November, and it will be delayed for at least six months before it can be seen in China. We have to wait another year or more. Waiting for more than a year is a long time, but there is always a timetable and hope. If there is hope, there will be no panic. Some things are always far in the future, which makes people wait and endure endlessly. That is really too long, and that is really desperate.
