In the Bible, the two cities of Sodom and Gomorra were deeply sinful. The Lord sent brimstone and fire from the sky, and Gomorra was burned to ashes. That's where the "infamous" "120 Days of Sodom" comes from, and "Gomorrah" refers to the sin city of Gomorrah. However, there is no dialogue or words related to Gomora in the film. The criminal organization in it is called Camorra, a secret society similar to the Mafia. As the oldest organized crime group in Italy, they are active in Naples. The region, through drug dealing, extortion and other methods to make money, its activities lead to the region's high murder rate and many social ills.
In 2006, Roberto Saviano published the novel "Gomorra", which exposed Gomorrah's crimes in a non-documentary way, causing a sensation in Italy and internationally, but the blatant gangster Words: Don't let Saviano live this Christmas. The twenty-nine-year-old writer is currently living in Rome under police protection for two years.
The film Gomorrah is based on Saviano's novel. Compared with "City of God", which also takes the realistic route, the entertainment content of "Gomorrah" is greatly reduced. The story revolves around different characters and is roughly divided into five interlaced paragraphs: a child longs to join the gang and grow up, the two young men want to make their own way, in addition to the guy who is responsible for giving condolences to the organization, secretly talking to China A collaborative fashion tailor, a shrewd garbage disposal and his young starter. However, the clothing factory bosses and garbage disposals in the film did not have the signs of "I am a gangster". The film just expressed the fact that they were controlled by the gangster in a calm way, such as the tailor's group being shot, the little boy Driving heavy trucks and other shocking scenes.
The gangsters in "Gomorrah" are obviously not the type who are more ruthless in the streets in suits and leather shoes. Several leaders look disgraced and unremarkable, but their business is global. Kemora has a strong ability to penetrate and adapt. Following the trend of economic globalization, in addition to the traditional buying and selling of drugs, he also engages in lucrative businesses such as fashion production and garbage disposal.
Some viewers will feel that they have no clue if they are not halfway through, the specific characters and the paragraphs to which they belong are not on the line, and the whole movie is not pleasant to watch. Because that's not what Gomorrah is about. Its strengths lie in its high-handedness and subtlety, and its sound processing, camera shots, and mise-en-scene are excellent. For example, the amplified breathing sound when walking out of the garbage container highlights the fatigue and nervousness of the characters; the defocused processing of several murder scenes uses the depth of field to explain the incident without any fuss; the sound editing of the whole movie matches the picture, which is even more Exquisite.
If you have to give "Gomorrah" a position, it can be called a deeply realistic gangster film, which uses an extremely everyday way to express the violence beyond fighting and killing. It avoids the paths of ordinary gangster movies, and selects scenes with social colors such as the interior of factories. The large buildings occupied by gangs are the soul of the movie. The performance of the Chinese community is also a highlight of "Gomorrah", in which the characters have distinct personalities and intriguing words and deeds.
