Literary Gangster Movies

This movie is Kitano's first work from an actor to a director. It was born with a certain coincidence: the director originally selected for the film was Shinji Shinji, who became famous for directing "Battle Royale", and Kitano is only acting as the male lead in the film. Halfway through the filming of the film, the director and the production company had a dispute for some reason. Due to coordination failure, Shinsaku Kinji left. The film producer persuaded Kitano Takeshi to complete the work left by Shinji Fukasaku, and Kitano himself was also very concerned. Paying attention to this work, he reluctantly agreed. Takeshi Kitano, who was ordered in danger, almost half forced and half joked with himself and took the lead for the first time. Thus-a violent aesthetic film that broke the tradition was born, and a world-class violent aesthetic master with a very personal style was born. !
Kitano's aesthetics of violence is called cold violence. The characteristic is simple, clear and calm. Punch—bleed, shoot—fall down. He was so stingy that he never gave any extra action to a scene involving violence, but it seemed so crisp, tough and cool! Of course, if you just shoot some actions with well-developed limbs and simple minds, some major domestic action film directors can make them better than Takeshi Kitano. Another charm of Kitano Takeshi's movies is reflected in the literary play of his movies. Kitano's movies are just like the protagonists in his movies, but underneath his tough and strong appearance, he has a heart full of emotions and softness. It is necessary to fight, but also to know why-such a movie is called a literary gangster movie. In addition, the interspersed cold humor and the final unexpected reversal of the film also reflect the outstanding thinking of a great director, and make the film more interesting and connotative! The opening and closing shots and soundtrack praise. The fly in the ointment is that the crippled characters in the fighting scenes are a bit unreasonable because they are too clumsy. Considering the behavior of Hong Kong movies in the late 1980s and even sillier, this seems to be excusable!
Not the delicacies of the mountains and the sea, but the delicious egg fried rice!
