When mentioning "Ultra Evil 2", we had to make "Ultra Evil" in advance. "Heavenly Evil" puts an end to Kitano's own gang movie in an extremely cold and clean way. Kitano completely abandoned the romantic lyricism of the past. There is no more beach and blues music. Even the old partners Osugi Ren and Terajima Jin have disappeared. Instead, they are replaced by another group of true actor actors, both young and old. . The wicked succeeded and killed him with a single knife. Everyone thought that when the end was announced, Kitano took another surprise, and he just filmed such a sequel. What's more interesting is the ending of "Heavenly Evil 2". Before everyone was mentally prepared for the ending, Takeshi Kitano snapped a few snaps and told everyone that the game about Yakuza was over. Like most ambitious gang films, Kitano also tried to let the audience see through the nature of the gang: Loyalty has long been outdated, there are only eternal interests, there is no permanent winner. After the storms of the first episode, the great friends of the Mesozoic era knew the dangers and hid their merits and fame. Ishihara, a young man, became more arrogant and defiant. Once again, the traditional gang rules did not play a big role, and the so-called loyalty, benevolence and righteousness were not mentioned. With the intervention of the Hualing Hui and the police, the Shan Wang Hui was also destroyed, and history turned the page. There have been many stories about Japanese gangs after the 311 earthquake. The disaster situation was critical, and big gangs such as the Yamaguchi Group and the Sumiyoshi Society responded quickly and provided shelter and assistance to the victims, which was widely praised. Because Japanese gangs have legally registered status, this also causes Japanese gang movies to have their own characteristics. It will not be like a popular police and criminal genre film, black and white, either you die or I die. In "Heavenly Hell 2", the police and Yakuza are not only superficially friendly, there is almost no frontal conflict, they are only responsible for monitoring, balancing and clearing the endgame. If there is no prior knowledge (after all, the movie will not specifically explain it), then many people will be puzzled: a small gangster dare to challenge the police, and the police are polite with the gangsters. Compared with Hollywood or Hong Kong gang genre movies, "Heavenly Evil 2" de-entertains at the same time it also removes the halo and charm, and there is no sense of heroism. Otomo kept a low profile, and Kimura was also used by others. Hualinghui was waiting to reap the profit while provoking discord. The gangsters broke the blood and sent their lives, nothing more than to ask for a way to survive. Kitano's intention is not to present a single person or Yakuza gang. The film does not specifically show the actions of the gangsters. The characters are the way to appear in the group performance. Except for who has a higher voice, who has a crooked neck, and who died more cleanly, regardless of whether the Kanto or Kansai gangs, they are all the same. Everyone was serious and arrogant with a stern face, black to the end, ridiculously tight. In the process of rejoining Otomo and Kimura, the film has intentional director's handwriting. Two little gangsters who are not influential, they are devoted to the boss and are always ready to send them. This is an excellent young and Dangerous boy in the traditional sense. As a result, they died tragically in the film. Linked to the life experience and fate of these two little gangsters, it can only make people feel: I was born in Yakuza, but also died in Yakuza. Now that you have participated in this game, you have to abide by the rules and be ready to be eliminated at any time. On the basis of the previous work, "Heavenly Evil 2" continues to emphasize the rules and processes within the gang, and at the same time structure the multi-faceted relationship between gang and gang, gang and the police. In addition to the all-inclusive gangsters, the presence of two police officers became the highlight of the film. A clever and intelligent person has evil intentions in his cunning. A dull and unhappy, cold and humorous invincible. It is not difficult for those who do good things to find that the story content of the "Extremely Evil" series colluding with the upper ranks is actually a screen rehearsal of the history of Japanese gangs in the past. It’s just that Kitano didn’t pose a posture to write a book for the gang. He still stared at the gang members who had a head and a face—a group of birds trapped in the cages of the house. They either killed each other or waited. To be cleaned up. If it is necessary to properly explain and play, almost transparent gang crimes, they are also a part of the survival game of modern society, the survival of the fittest and the survival of the fittest. With the same set of people, they can also appear in the workplace or political arena and continue to fight over and over with animal nature. 【China News Weekly】Birds in their cages either kill each other or wait to be cleaned up.
