Compared with the so-called gangster films in Hong Kong, Japan and even the United States, the gangster films in South Africa, Brazil and Mexico are much bloodier and more violent. When I remember geography in junior high school, I vaguely knew: Johannesburg is the crime capital of South Africa (Cape Town is relatively better, followed by Pretoria and Durban). In short, there are more white people near the sea, and the crime rate is relatively low. I don't particularly understand the title of the movie "Jerusalem". Although South Africa is a Christian country, the Christian holy city has little connection with crime movies, right? There is neither redemption nor tolerance and forgiveness in the movie, only despair, maybe just satire? Cunene's teenage and adult actors are well-done, and the gangster's tangle from growing up to the ruthless cunning and bloody brutality of maturity is vividly displayed. The actors in the whole movie are also very sharp, good actors, and there is no trace of "acting" at all. This is completely different from Huang Xiaoming and Yang Ying. The hoarse South African indigenous acapella is particularly good, which corresponds to the theme of the film itself. It not only feels the simplicity of human nature and survival, but also reveals the cruel survival philosophy in simplicity: killing and capturing. Violence and crime in South Africa are far beyond our imagination and have intensified in the last two decades. Thanks to Mandela, black people cannot run a quasi-developed country. When you see black criminals madly attacking white people, it really shudders. Thanks for peace.
