I reviewed the movie today and changed the rating to 5 stars. It is still as touching as the first time I watched it. I have to say that whether he is making romance films, youth films, or gangster films, Kitano is a master of freehand brushwork. There are many masters who are good at shooting violent aesthetics. Quentin is a biological violence accompanied by Monique and his personal mixtape; Tou Qifeng is a gorgeous choreographed group dance; Wu Yusen is a signature slow motion plus white pigeon to highlight the heroic spirit. The great thing about Takeshi Kitano is that it only shows the audience the revelation and ending of the violent action (personally think that Godard used the jump cut to create this technique in "Exhausted", but only Takeshi Kitano and Wang Jiawei used it to the extreme) and Using intentional objects to show death in close-ups, the death of important characters is only clicked to the end, restoring the facts to the audience. In this film, like most of his works, there are very few moving shots, most of which are horizontal, vertical and fixed shots. The handling of the setting shots is extremely skillful and sophisticated, and he is very sophisticated about the depth of field, the light source and the position of the characters. (NB can be seen in the funeral of the boss in the early stage of the movie and many indoor scenes) And on this basis, he used various angles of pros and cons to make the effect even more icing on the cake. As for the play, Takeshi Kitano himself wrote the play. It tells the story of how an old-school Japanese gangster ANIKI became bigger and stronger in the United States, and finally ended up fatalistically due to the morality he adhered to. Not only does it use a new perspective to express Japan's nationality, but it also puts a lot of effort into the characters. From the appearance of each character in the early stage to their final death, coupled with the performance, even the small supporting role can stand up in the movie, and the character arc is complete. Finally, with the poetic editing and Joe Hisaishi's soundtrack, the film "Big Brother", after experiencing the precipitation of the "Fireworks" and "Sonata" directed by Takeshi Kitano in the early stage, presents us this perfect artwork. In the end, I really don’t want to lose the director appointed by the emperor of the movie, ANIKI Kitano Takeshi NB!
