With hope as bait, who can escape?

In the past two years, I've been a little disappointed with Japanese films, and I can't see good Japanese films. When I made this film, it was completely aimed at Takeshi Kitano. This film tells the story of the renewal of gangsters, and it is also a very simple film. The bosses at the top of the gang, talking and laughing, how many heads fell, and everything was under control; those thugs who tied their heads to the belts of their trousers, both civil and military, loyal and traitor, seemed to vent their personalities soberly His emotions are actually being controlled by an invisible hand. At the end of the film, the boss successfully used his subordinates' desire, jealousy, and use of the position of the team leader, repeatedly borrowing knives to kill people, and always the same sentence: I want you to take over... Finally, watching the deception beside the boss. The personal bodyguard, when helping the boss to solve the last promise, he also solved the boss at will.



The Japanese are also very good at expressing emotions, so the film looks very depressing, but many of the killing methods in it are still very creative, in line with Kitano Takeshi's consistent style.



After reading it, I was thinking, if God uses hope as bait, who can escape?
