A kind of iron-blooded melancholy from the core
Lori 2022-03-24 09:03:06
From the very beginning, Takeshi Kitano has been a calm and incomparable gangster who respects morality and is ruthless. As the film progresses, the soundtrack becomes more and more melancholy and gloomy. It seems that the gangster is desperate, and he can go all the way, but it’s just a matter of choice. The subject matter will be very full, and the feelings will slowly come like a spring Romantic feelings slowly poured out, full of sadness, all hidden under the sunglasses, but not showing a trace of anxiety, no compromise, a trace of helplessness, only the choice and never retreat. The faith and feelings in it will make the male audience a little envious of the Japanese gangsters because they are so advanced Maybe at some point in your life, you will have an epiphany

[Exhibition at the China Film Archive] Film version. It combines the humorous and comedy style of "Kiujiro's Summer", as well as the violent aesthetics and benevolence of the Japanese gangsters in the "Extremely Evil" series. It's the perfect fusion of the two. Takeshi Kitano's taciturn and facially paralyzed temperament, Hei Ge's unrepentant loyalty, Shinji Terashima's courageous and loyal, and Kato Masaya's stubbornness, he is very hardcore in old Japanese gangster movies! The supporting characters are all familiar faces, and seeing Osugi Ren is particularly emotional. Four and a half stars

I have seen "Extremely Wicked", which was also directed by Takeshi Kitano, and this film has similarities. Grim violence is used both skillfully and refined in his hands, and his interpretation of the role of the underworld boss is also very good.
