Gangsters, different from hooligans

"Legend" 7.5 points. Tom Hardy plays the role of twin brothers alone, and the two characters with different personalities are portrayed in three parts. The narration of the story is clear and smooth, and it will not be sloppy, but it will never be sloppy. For gangster-themed movies, I still tend to cut in from an emotional and human point of view, rather than violence and cold blood. Of course, in gangster-themed movies, violent scenes are indispensable. In the limited violent scenes, this film is slightly rough in conception, and it is like a scratch in understatement. If you are really not good at such subjects, you can also pay tribute to "The Godfather" and "Once Upon a Time in America".

With this film, I try to analyze the difference between the gangster Gangster and the hooligan hooligan. Gangsters are after chaos; gangsters are after order. For gangsters, violence is the end; for gangsters, violence is only a means. Rogues only bully the weak, and gangsters only bite the hard bones. Rogues are short-sighted, gangsters are far-sighted. The hooligans are dodging, and the gang is upright. Rogues only rely on hormones, gangsters rely on IQ and EQ. Politicians scorn gangsters, and gangsters are the perfect complement. What hooligans pursue is self-recognition, and what gangsters pursue is value realization. Gangsters are impulsive, gangsters are calm. Rogue is empty, gangster is deep.

Rogues can have feelings, but they have no future. When a little hooligan grows up, he is a big hooligan, and when a big hooligan grows old, he is an old hooligan. Rogue stinks, is stinky rogue. A hooligan is a dead hooligan. Gangsters have much more prospects, they can be transformed into rich businessmen, they can become politicians, and they can guide the country. Politics is an explicit rule, and gangs are an implicit rule. The soft underbelly of politics is democracy, and it just so happens that violence and fear are the nemesis of democracy. This is also the point of convergence between the two. In short, gangsters are pushing history forward, and hooligans are just mindless moths in history.

Legend quotes

  • Ronald Kray: People who live in glasshouses shouldn't throw stones.

  • Ronald Kray: ...And I'm staring at the back of this geezer's head. Drilling him with my eyes. The whole time thinking "Give Ron Kray your sausage. Give Ron your fucking sausage." Until, I'm not thinking it anymore; I'm broadcasting , through his skull and into his brain. 'Til he looks back at me and says "Ron, do you fancy my sausage? I've got no appetite this morning."

    Ronald Kray: Interesting...

    Frances Shea: [Voice Over] When my future brother-in-law said "Interesting", it meant he had no fucking idea what he, you or anybody else was talking about.
