This is an atypical Jackie Chan movie, completely beyond my stereotype of Jackie Chan movies. Jackie Chan in it has neither kung fu nor furniture as a juggling superpower. He was restrained, and most of the time he was in a helpless situation, but this is also a typical Jackie Chan movie, its core is still Jackie Chan's brotherhood, and he is still the Jackie Chan who values his brotherhood and loyalty.
The plot of the movie is coherent and tight, and it kept me in my seat for two hours from the beginning to the end, because it provided a perspective I had never seen before, and no film had ever dabbled in this crowd, So everything from the first act was new to me.
The film tells the story of a group of Chinese stowaways in the 1990s who struggled to make a living in Japan, and eventually grew into an underworld under the leadership of the protagonist Tietou (Jackie Chan). When they first arrived in Japan, they did all the dirty and tiring work that the Japanese were unwilling to do. They sorted garbage in the garbage dump, scavenged garbage in the sewers, and did all the garbage-related work that never saw the light of day. Running away like mice crossing the street, dignity? The word "dignity" no longer exists in them. The Japanese government also acquiesced to the existence of this group of black households, just as the police detective Kitano said: without them doing this kind of work, the feces sprayed out of the toilet, and the local residents reported whether they complained.
I have to say that the Chinese are an extremely tolerant nation. As long as they can eat and clothe themselves, they can eat whatever hardships they have. Even if their wages are deducted to such a degree that it is unbelievable for the Japanese, they have always been doing their duty like this. Going down, they didn't suddenly wake up until a node appeared. It turned out that being an honest person would only be bullied, and it was the Chinese who bullied them.
Even in this group of lower-class Chinese in Japan, people are divided into three, six, nine, and nine. In 2018, even after going abroad, they still couldn't change their nature of fighting in the nest. There was no other reason. They only bullied the soft and feared the hard. They didn't dare to fight the Japanese, so they could only step on the compatriots at the bottom.
The bar owner is a Chinese himself. With the support of the Japanese, he does not allow his daughter to interact with Ajie, so he beat Ajie violently. At this time, the iron head dressed in brotherhood stood up and shouted: Today, my brother is bullied, we don't care, We don't care if anyone is bullied in the future!
So a group of people rushed out to beat the Chinese boss and grabbed Apple Jie's chestnut cart.
Since the honest will only be bullied, then I have to start the dishonest way, selling phone cards and credit cards (I don't understand how to operate it, the plot progresses too fast), and manipulate the machine chips in the marble shop ( The one that moved was the Tainan Gang’s shop), but often walking by the river can’t get wet shoes, and finally one day it happened, and was hit by the unfortunate Ajie again.
I think the boss of the Hokkien Gang was polite at first. As long as you say the instigator, he won't move you, but Ajie doesn't say anything about his loyalty. It's fine if he doesn't say it. The boss of the Tainan Gang slashed his face twice, and then Cut off one of his hands, and when Applejack shouted for his own hand, at this point, Iron Head's anger was completely ignited.
Tietou bravely broke into the Tainan Gang alone, but ran into the Japanese gangsters and gangsters. Of course, when the Chinese (Tainan Gang) were used as guns, in the whole movie, the Japanese were using the Chinese as gunmen. feel good. Because he rescued the boss of the Eguchi group, Tietou successfully became the gun of the Yamaguchi group, killed two people for the leader of the Yamaguchi group, and used this as a condition to have his own sphere of influence and seized the original Tainan gang's territory.
Tietou didn't want to keep working in the underworld like this. He was still a simple farmer in the northeast (although Jackie Chan didn't act like him), so he handed over the affairs of the club to his brothers, and went to sell farm machinery to be serious. Start a business. However, he ignored the fact that in the face of the temptation of huge rights and interests, not everyone can keep his heart for justice, at least not his brothers, even when he wants to block their brothers When making money, the brothers did not hesitate to do him.
The helplessness and pain, suffering and remorse in Tietou’s heart can be imagined, but the film has too much to describe, which makes the second half of the film very rushed. Can't see who cut it.
This film has a lot of content to describe, and the layout is very large. However, in the end, it highlights the inability of the director, and the organizational structure of the Japanese triad gangs has also been simplified into two groups.
As for the emotional line in the movie, I always feel that Jackie Chan is too old to act as a young man who is in love. It's almost the same for Wu Yanzu to play, but Wu Yanzu played a very hot-eyed Killing Matt, and his acting skills are not bad. Considerable. And the two women played by Xu Jinglei and Fan Bingbing are also very entertaining. Xu Jinglei has no acting skills, and Fan Bingbing does not. Even that slap is not powerful enough.
To sum up, this is a rare movie that can make people calm down and watch it. It tells the hardships of a group we have never known before. I am very glad that Jackie Chan can have such a non-Jackie Chan movie. There are too many lines to be involved, which makes the second half very simplified. Suddenly a killing Matt Wu Yanzu came out and really blinded my eyes.
A special mention is that the acting skills of several Japanese actors in the movie are all online. The best acting is undoubtedly the Kitano police detective played by Naoto Takenaka. The Mandarin is very happy, and it is not easy for Jackie Chan to understand.
