The Kitano brothers are tired of watching impulsive gangster movies. Brother is refreshing.

The story of a Japanese gang eldest brother who came to the United States to conquer the world.

Kitano Takeshi's expression, the eyelids will shake slightly, except for taking off or putting on the sunglasses, there is no change at all. Even before dying, calmly give the bar owner time-consuming maintenance.

The movie screen, the frozen time, tells the dynamics through the changes of light and shadow and sound effects. Color, black and brown, the only woman with bright colors, the eldest woman, is as ugly as a bald golden pheasant.

The temperament of the film, do not care about the audience's thoughts, withdrawn, like the boss who rarely communicates with others. Behavior is the way of expression.

Enjoy a film by Takeshi Kitano, suitable for twilight, to savor some blues.

    It seems to be mixed with a taste of Aki, a story of a Japanese gangster in the United States. The layers of memories don't provide the full storyline, but the full sense of sentimentality. Because memory is never complete, but will be refined to leave behind the most important things. From this point of view, form and meaning are unified. Those vivid and sad or happy past events came like a tide, and the bloody romance that shone out was like a moment of loss caused by looking back for no reason when walking on the street.

    One of Kitano Takeshi's gangster masterpieces, some violent scenes are too direct and it is a failure. On the whole, it is a movie with an emotional void, which is very freehand.
