The tenderness that belongs to brotherhood.

From "where he is, there are rivers and lakes" to "where there are brothers, there are rivers and lakes". Takeshi Kitano, who loves to play games, jokes, and is full of "stupid people", this time, he is playing tricks from time to time, but he is everywhere. Interspersed with the wandering feeling of being an orphan like a paper airplane and living in a foreign country, the poetic mood of playing with brothers on the seaside, and the interracial friendship formed by violence. The lost brotherhood in silence and tantrums completely captures the mood of "there are people around, but I'm lonely".

The maturity and rich emotional level of the play, the gradual progress of the external crisis and the internal crisis, is not quite like the out-of-order Takeshi Kitano. As always, it is the purest beauty with the most genuine temperament and flaws. However, in Takeshi Kitano's play, there is always the curiosity and surprise of the black mother "you never know what he's going to do next" when unpacking the gift-in order to save the black man, he released the boss who thought the black man was dead, and there was no sound. His sense of humor - even in a crisis, he has to make jokes and take time to shoot a basketball. The open-mindedness of the game life did not keep his life, but left an endless appeal.

The last shot did not end as decisively as "Double-Faced Maleficent", but left the "human" lone hero lying in a pool of blood - the road in the distance, left to the brothers.

PS: Hisaishi's soundtrack is really good. 【171016】

    4.5 Takeshi Kitano tried his best to present a film that the Japanese boss is surly enough. I don't want to compare with the extreme evil in the later period, because it is not comparable. If you say you cut your fingers, you will cut your fingers, if you say you cut your belly, you will die for your eldest brother. The Yamato nation is an invisible nation, extreme to the extreme, but it makes you shudder unconsciously. In addition to the last death, this is the most heroic of all gangster movies I have ever seen. Pay, open the door, and greet the bullet.

    In ten years, a set of teams, one model, from the fight to the decline. The original little squad leader became the half-bald fat guy in the extreme evil, the alien in the fireworks is so desperate, Kitano himself has not changed 10%, and the seasoning of the extreme is consistent. The Mafia and the United States are suspected of imitating the godfather but failing to catch it. Although the plot is boring, the character interpretation is really good, Kato Masaya’s performance is quite bright, the gangster’s woman is obviously crazy, and the main role is good.
