And his good son, the United States, which has a strong temperament everywhere, has joined the WTO, and he loves to drag you to talk about democracy and freedom, as if only they understand it in the world. Even gangster movies do not forget to build the stage of the times. For example, "New York Gangs" is a social film with political flesh in the skin of a gang and about the resolution of class contradictions and ethnic integration, which meets the highest spiritual benchmark of the Oscars.
Then Dad Britannia smiled. First of all, he sent Guy Ritchie, a lethal weapon, and a group of good-looking, corrupt young people to Hollywood to disrupt the Yankee's mind with the most basic stories and the most charming villains. Then, I closed the door and filmed the most exquisite period drama. When people have not yet woken up from the Chinese food in "Downton Abbey", "Blood-bath Gangster" presents a feast of dark dishes filled with the smell of sheep's brains and feces. This time, the Englishman decided to have a good time with the history stalks, let you see what it means to have Dickens's great power. The style of the film, of course, follows the path of "Orphans in the Fog" and "Great Expectations": dark and muddy, just like people's hearts.
When I first saw this play, I almost thought I opened it in a wrong way. It starts with a long shot of the Chinese ghetto. Although it is a bit awkward, it can be regarded as the most eloquent Cantonese in ghost movies, better than Hollywood's irresponsible mixture of Chinese and Cantonese. Then the enchanting Cillian Murphy appeared on a black horse, blinding her eyes. He is as tender as he is, always reminiscent of the skinny Christian Bale in "American Psychiatric", but also has a pair of gentle eyes looking forward to the waves, which is really suitable for playing the weak, passionate, distorted and crazy black Prince Charming. . If he played "Hamlet", he would surely join him in the first place. In the film, however, he is the hero of the First World War and the soul of the gang, in control of the order in the dark night of Birmingham. The turbulent energy that such a thin body can burst is a great attraction in itself.
Back to the background of the times. Many people compare "Blood Gangster" and "Atlantic Empire", first of all they are of the same era. After the First World War, Britain and the United States faced the establishment of a new order. The difference was that the United States was a bottom-up shuffle, while the United Kingdom was a multi-party melee. The United States has made war money, and the gang used Prohibition to promote a thriving black market transaction, and then used money to support the government to forge their own political backing. Britain is heavily in debt and the economy is declining. The gangs headed by the Birmingham Razor Party have gathered money everywhere. The vigorous workers' movement has continued to this day. Coupled with the undefeated Irish Republican Army like Xiaoqiang, the three underground forces have become the most troublesome thorns of the fallen Liberal government. . Through an incident of arms theft, "Blood Gangsters" carefully sorted out the relationship between the four, the government's unremitting suppression of the three parties, the gangs and the Bolsheviks, the Irish Republican Army's ghosts and ghosts, love and hatred in the BBC's best at the bottom of the pot. The street scene of Hehuang Naitang flows slowly.
But if it is only decent, it will inevitably lose the original spirituality and humor of the British drama. The anti-triad commissioner’s inaugural speech, like the sermon on the cult, contrasts with the gracious warmth of the male protagonist’s traumatic little bald head after the war, which is full of irony. The male lead said to the little Bolshevik leader, "Our only difference is that you promise false hopes to the poor, and my horse race may still win." It is the deepest sarcasm and sarcasm that the British are best at. nothingness. This pair of good friends who had been in the official lineup in the first episode decisively sacrificed his sister, but it didn't matter, anyway, women were amazing at that time. The men are all out to fight, and the details of the time when women are in charge of the house at home fully reflect the inadvertent intentions and perfection that are unique to British dramas.
As for Churchill, don't laugh, "The King's Speech" is still played by "Wormtail" Timothy Spoel, compared to the one in the play is already very serious.
In fact, the above is all nonsense, just because the BGM is Nick Cave, you must watch it.
