What I like most about this film is the killing after Kitano rushed into the enemy camp when he was avenging his revenge. He screened out his usual violent blood and did not directly show the killing scene, so I couldn’t see the flying bullets and the bloody face. There are not many hideous faces, no blood flowing into rivers, no scenes of howling ghosts and wolves. Instead, it uses a very German expressionist light, shadow and sound effect and a panicked face and fearful eyes. Quite unexpectedly, very masterful.
Kitano Takeshi's rendering of atmosphere is unique, typically a cold scene before the act, a static shot, a close-up of facial expressions, and then a scene after the act. This unusually calm approach probably comes from the French New Wave Godard and others. Cut the mirror language, now it is only called vinegar.
In this movie, there is a brief, cramped, quiet and quiet on the island where "wind and rain are coming to the clouds". The killers play games and tease people. This section focuses on Kitano's weirdness.
I especially like the quiet and still shots, followed by fierce "lore" violent behavior. This is Kitano boss's "I type me show", it is really stylish.
In the middle of the film, a period of peacefulness is like a long collective holiday for gangsters. The killing is hidden in a narrow blue sea and blue sky. The smell of blood is faintly smelled in the wind. Before death comes, I use games to overpower myself, and chase the last of my life in play. Colorful. Gorgeous fireworks, childlike pranks, a willful rainstorm, a group of comical beings, a doomed dream, a pair of waiting eyes and a lonely gunshot, a shocking story is so deep The earth was burned in my mind, and I had to admire Kitano Takeshi's decisiveness and innocence, and the coolness of iron and blood, and only genius has it.
It’s too late to experience the smile from the long vacation. The blood blooms on the brain wantonly. Just after enjoying the warmth and joy of the soul release, the cruel killing comes quietly. After the joyful game, facing the sudden death, revealing life Yi He Huan, why bother to die, so the boss after revenge stopped on her own while waiting for the woman. Kitano's thinking about death is always hazy and full of Eastern Zen. Death is the ultimate solution, but it is the kind of curiosity when life first appeared. Life and death are both extreme infatuations.
Violence is displayed with lyrical handwriting. Violence is the communication vehicle of male friendship. From stabs at one's partner to not getting acquainted with each other, from the heroic spirit of going to death together, the body that held the bullet for the boss in the elevator has become a man's room. A kind of mutual consent, the violence at this time turned into romance, and death gave off light, the so-called "violent aesthetics."
