The first hour of the film can be said to be creating a myth. Through simple and violent means, Kitano Takeshi, who fled to the United States, established a new gang in the United States and became a "big brother" again. At this time, violence is undoubtedly beautiful, it can Bring everything a person wants, power, money, sex, everything.
However, this kind of plot took a sharp turn in the second half. With Jin Terashima's suicide, Kitano Takeshi gradually fell into the depression and nihilism of the gang, and his meaning as a "god" was completely subverted. In the subsequent power struggle, the violence continued to escalate. His lover, brothers, those who could live an ordinary life, but were pulled into the quagmire of the gang, all died of fire and murder, and no one was spared. .
At the end, Takeshi Kitano kidnapped the boss of the enemy gang, and after playing prank on him, he chose to let him go. After gaining and losing everything because of violence, he gave up violence for the first time. He gave the money and the chance to survive to the young man who played dice with him, and then set foot on the road of death alone.
He accomplished his own destruction in the most tragic way, and also confirmed Hemingway's saying "A man can be killed, but not defeated." The ten heavily armed enemies were also unafraid. With countless gunshots, Kitano Takeshi fell in a pool of blood, with the blue sky above and the boundless desert below. The myth of "Big Brother" is finally over, violence brings destruction, and nothing remains after the gunshots.
