"Despicable Street" is a gangster movie starring Jo In-sung directed by Yoo Ha and released in 2006. There are many gangster movies, and some of them are good. But Despicable Streets focuses more on desire and human nature than other films' fraternal fraternity and sinister society. Violence and lust pervade the entire film, without exaggerated cruelty, nor a trace of pity and kindness. You thought you were just watching someone else's movie from the stand of bystanders, but suddenly you realized that you had participated in a life-and-death fight.
Why choose the word "despicable" I think only after watching the whole film can I deeply understand it. The human heart is despicable, and desire and ambition are the most unsatisfactory things in the world. The biggest boss played by Qian Haozhen said: "Shangzhe is no longer enough, he has nothing to lack." It is not that he has nothing to lack, but that he can't afford what he wants as a boss. That's why there will be Bingdou and Zongxiu. The concept of the supremacy of interests is rooted in the head of every gangster. If you want to get it, you have no choice but to kill and please. Such despicable people form part of the street. In this circle, everyone is just a tool manipulated by the upper class, used to walk on a road that cannot be turned back, and then lose themselves on this road without street lights, and occasionally I will remember the original, knowing that there will be no exit, but still have to bite the bullet and move forward.
We can feel angry, unwilling, and disappointed at the betrayal. But looking back, Zong Xiu was just another Bingdou, who always sold himself in order to gain money and power. We are all like this, self-righteous individuals who see only what's good for us, from the moment we first thought we were sitting idly by. This movie does a good job of showing us what a real gangster is like, and death is the most straightforward means of doing things. The real gang never lacks people with status and status, but people who can take over this position. In other words, it is a kind of rule, and only if you control this kind of rule can you survive. Bingdou was too complacent. He shouldn't be so unprepared after stabbing Shang Zhe. In the face of huge interests, he chose to trust the other party 100%, ignoring that he would be replaced sooner or later.
At the end of the film, there is a replay of Bing Doo's words, "Minho, let's shoot something with the real gangster spirit!" In the despicable streets, the trust between brothers who you thought had experienced life and death was all played by the director. between applause. I think a lot of feelings and futures are what we think.
The despicable streets are real and cold-blooded. The same box, the same camera and position, there are people in every position, but they are no longer the people of the past. I have to say, the most ruthless is the boss. From Shang Chul saying "Boss, I love you" when he was in karaoke to Bing Doo saying "Boss, you can trust me 100%." I think it has already foreshadowed their final ending, so In the face of despicable people, how can you choose the word "trust", if you believe it, you will lose.
