tragic hero

Righteous characters have a pivotal position in the hearts of Chinese and Japanese men. Righteousness is the core of Japanese gangs, and righteousness is also the dream of most Chinese boys. The right words are easy to say but not easy to do. Having you in my heart may be the best interpretation of the meaning of the word.

There are not too many lines in this movie, and there is not too much introduction of characters. Each character's characteristics are from the small details in the work to highlight their character. The language is sometimes pale and powerless, and the performance may give the film. Bringing more imagination, this film interprets this sentence very well. The male lead in Yamamoto, a Japanese boss who can't speak English, came to the United States to work hard. The whole movie lasted for nearly 140 minutes, and he spoke no more than 50 sentences (no specific statistics, please forgive me if there are any mistakes), all through performances to interpret this role. The interpretation of this character is so good that every audience can penetrate into the heart of this character. This is the power of Kitano Takeshi's performance. Maybe this is his true character, this may be Kitano Takeshi's interpretation of men, the coldness on the surface can't hide the warmth in his heart.

Violence is not the core of this film, the culture behind the violence is the essence of this film. In order to help Yamamoto expand his power, Yamamoto's younger brother shot himself down. This episode gave me goosebumps. This may be Japan's unique culture. This is the reason why Japan can become a developed country in such a small place. Their high cultural self-confidence makes me ashamed.

There may be positive energy behind the swear words. The same is true for this movie. Although it is violent, he actually tells us very vaguely that we need to be a good person in peace. Violence has no good results. The family is ruined and the people and money are empty. You will do it for you. Things come at a high price.

In the end Yamamoto's death was the end of a tragic hero. His half-brother died in the escape, the woman he loved died, his brother who was born to death died, the country he loved so much could not go back to, there may be nothing worth lingering on in this world. Falling alone in a pool of blood, the big guy slammed the curtain down

Takeshi Kitano is an amazing actor and director. There are so many things hidden in his "skin", like the pocket of a lot of dreams, he will always give you different surprises. He is a comedian. He is a strict director, Actors who are harsh on themselves. There are also writers who write concisely. Talent is like an unstoppable spray of foam glue, but his humble and reserved personality has a very clear conflict with his talent.
