The texture of Japanese gangster films is different from that of Hong Kong and American gangsters, and it is full of a strange beauty. The uncles with faces full of vicissitudes must be the protagonists, the young people with tender faces can only save the world in the anime, and they must be running ashes in the movies. An uncle with a face full of vicissitudes, wearing a tailored black suit, a Mercedes-Benz with black reflection, hugging a woman like an AV actress, taking off his coat is a colorful tattoo, which is intertwined with traditional and Modern, realistic and surreal aesthetics.
Outrage, extremely evil, the translation of the name is very good, the Hong Kong version translated as "all the villains", although the literary quality is not enough, but it is more direct. The violent scenes in the film are relatively few in Kitano Takeshi's films, but it seems violent because of the darkness of the plot. Brothers kill each other, subordinates rebel, kill by knife, morality and credibility are irrelevant, only killing driven by naked interests. The old man was aloof and played with people's hearts, and in the end, he was inevitably shot in the head by the fat old handsome Miura Yukata. Everyone inside looked huge when they were alive, and died hugely fast.
Takeshi Kitano shot, the film is full of masculinity, absolutely suitable for men's tastes. Violent action is less, because the killing is fast. The person who kills has no expression on his face, and the person who dies quickly loses his breath. No matter how heavy or heavy it is, it is not easy to have a close-up when he dies, let alone his last words.
The protagonist of the film, of course, is the small team led by Otomo, played by Takeshi Kitano himself. From the old man, this team is at most a level 3 branch. But this team has the strongest fighting power and the most active members. What is intriguing is that the three core members have different endings. The English-speaking glasses man Kahara is the smartest. He used the embassy to create a lot of profits for the team. Later, he stood in the right camp in time and became the chief helmsman. Mizuno, as a pioneer and capable general, died the worst; the boss, the big friend, was like a most traditional samurai, loyal, faithful, and finally imprisoned, but still could not escape the pursuit of his enemies. This small gang reflects the various faces of the huge Japanese yakuza.
"Infighting" is the theme of the film. At the beginning of the film, it is a big dinner for the entire Three Kings Club, and it is also the last harmonious gathering of all members. After that, they entered a brutal infighting, and every character in every position had to find their own way of survival in this huge wave. The only external force turned out to be the policeman who accepted Kato's bribe. At the end of the film, the special task force sheriff who had been a gang contact was promoted and brought a new sheriff. The new sheriff took the money without hesitation and bowed. "A lot of advice." It seems that infighting is characteristic of Eastern culture, as is corruption.
