The collapse of the traditional underworld

Several directors from different cultural backgrounds have expressed the same feelings in underworld-themed films: people's hearts are not ancient, and the traditional underworld spirit is collapsing.
In "The Godfather", Corleone resolutely did not agree to get involved in the drug business and became the target of public criticism.
In "Monga", geta is determined not to cooperate with other provinces, and believes that "guns are the weapons of inferior people".
"Extremely Evil and Immoral" shows the withering of old-fashioned characters such as Otomo, but the unscrupulous politicians such as Ishihara have become popular.
However, although Ishihara is bad, as long as the fist doesn't fall on him, I still like this character. It's like in "This Killer Isn't Too Cold", Stan's fans are no less than Leon's. Ishihara in 2, compared to 1, is much weaker in terms of resourcefulness. He swelled up, went crazy, raised high-rise buildings to entertain guests, and finally collapsed and was beaten to death by baseball. Monkey and monkey were miserable.
2 told such a story, with the help of Ishihara, who has the same academic ability as an MBA, the Sanno Club, headed by Kato, prospered and became the largest violent gang in the Kanto region. They are no longer satisfied with the small business of running a casino brothel, they have begun to cooperate with corrupt officials, and they have begun to kill the police. Seeing that the Sanno Association was about to get out of control, the police acted urgently, and Kataoka, who was closely related to the Sanno Association, was still in charge. After secret observation, Kataoka noticed that many senior officials within the Sanno Association were very dissatisfied with Ishihara. On the one hand, Ishihara is young, and the latecomers are in the top. He has no experience of fighting and killing for the organization. Now he is yelling at the old man, which makes people very dissatisfied. On the other hand, there are many doubts about Kanai's death, and there are rumors that Kato killed the master. We know that loyalty is the greatest political correctness in the underworld. A group of outlaws who don't do some top-level design and brainwash with spiritual education such as loyalty and filial piety, is it okay? Therefore, with such rumors, Kato's ruling foundation is a bit unstable.
Kataoka took advantage of the internal contradictions of the Sanno Association to persuade the disaffected trio to go to Kansai to contact the equally powerful Hualing Association, hoping to seek their support. As a result, the backhand was sold. The leader was killed, the remaining two were silent, and the action failed.
After that, Kataoka operated and released Otomo, who was still in prison. He also found Kimura, who also had a feud with Shanwanghui, and persuaded the two conflicted people to reconcile and deal with Shanwanghui together. After contacting each other again and again, the two said, I recognize your buddy. It was a misunderstanding in the past, and we will get along well in the future.
In Kansai, Kimura expressed his determination to fight with Shan Wanghui to the end with a small finger, and Hua Linghui planned to take chestnuts from the fire and sent people to help the two to complete the great cause. Bang Bang Bang, Bang Bang Bang, Kato disobeyed the trio, all kinds of death methods, all dog leash.
However, the police were not satisfied to this extent and wanted to instigate Otomo to fight with Kimura. In fact, Otomo is actually Qing, very angry with Kataoka's self-conscious trick, bang bang bang, let Kataoka throw a lot of people's hearts.
Actually, I'm a little curious. Kataoka is not too young. What level of police officer is he in the police? He has been in charge of such a big case for a long time, and it stands to reason that the credit is not small, the official should be very big, after all, he is also very face in the underworld. But in the film, I feel that he is not a high-ranking official. It can be seen that he has not been promoted for a long time, and his work is not good? Ineffective work, why let him be responsible for a long time? This is so contradictory.
There is another one, the Mountain King will be powerful, and Ishihara and others can be killed so easily? Possibly, Ishihara and others have completely lost the support of the cadres, and they have betrayed their relatives. If Hualing will attack the Shanwanghui directly and aggressively, the cadres may unite and fight the enemy together, which cannot be solved by the dozen or so killers of Hualing. Now, the unpopular Ishihara seems to be just a personal grievance with him. Others are eager to do this, so they naturally choose to stand by.
In addition, Kitano Takeshi has done his utmost to smear people like Ishihara, and there is even a plot like scaring his pants...

    Don't be fooled by their wealth stories, joining a gang is basically a near-death experience. Most of the time, these bigwigs are actually similar to children playing at home. The only difference is that when they "piu piu piu", they are holding real gun

    Whether it’s late or not, Kitano Takeshi is old and cooler, more than hardcore, it’s death-metal! I like the blue-green tone, set against the dripping blood, and the world betrays the blacks of the whole world, but compared to the Hong Kong-style Infernal Affairs, it is seriously lacking in intelligence, and it is too straightforward to tell; but, let’s just watch the old man twitching expressionlessly. !
