Friends who love movies are welcome to pay attention.

Do you still naively think that there are traditional benevolence and righteousness in the gangs?

Regarding the ugliness and crimes of gangsters, Japanese director Takeshi Kitano showed it thoroughly.

Speaking of gangster crime movies, it has always been a type of movie that many people love.

I used to think that there is nothing better than a gangster film, which is full of gunfire and blood, and it is best to have a "hero" who can defeat a hundred with one.

But this point of view was completely changed after watching Johnnie To 's Galaxy Images series.

"Gunfire", "Exile", "Vengeance" and then two "Underworld", let people completely fall into the style of Du Shi.

"exile"

"Gun Fire"

In the fourth year after the release of "Underworld 2",

Waiting for the "Extreme Evil" written, directed and acted by the almighty director Takeshi Kitano .

Facts have proved that there is no resistance to the group portraits brought by this group of old men.

The film does not have the passion of traditional gangster films, and even the background music is lazy.

But it's still fascinating to watch.

Simple and flavorful dialogues, as well as characters and delicate close-ups of pictures run through the entire film.

Here, the traditional morality of benevolence and righteousness is left behind.

With a smile on his face, MMP in his heart, there is no affection but only interests, and the calculation and cruelty behind the interests.

Cut your fingers, blow your head, smash your teeth, cut your tongue and slap your face...

Come on, without pretense, simply and straightforwardly present the evil in the gang.

It is both violent aesthetics and realistic portrayal!

"The Wicked 1" was released in Japan in 2010

01

Japan, Kanto region.

Shanwanghui , the gang that dominates this place.

The internal hierarchy of the organization is strict and the division of labor is clear.

Below are the Chi Yuan group led by the boss Chi Yuan, and Chi Yuan's subordinates : the Great Friends group led by Otomo (played by Kitano Takeshi) .

Chi Yuan

Otomo

Murase group, another independent local gang.

This little piece of fat has long been coveted by the ambitious Mountain King.

Kanai, the leader of the Sannokai , signaled Chi Yuan to annex the Murase group,

However, due to the fact that Ike Yuan and Murase, the boss of the Murase group, met in prison before, they also worshipped. So Chi Yuan gave this task to Dayou.

Under the careful layout of the Otomo group, the Murase group successfully entered the trap.

One night, the members of the Otomo group were drinking in the bar of the Murase group, and the guys in the bar successfully took the opportunity to blackmail.

Murase, who learned about the incident later, knew that the Otomo group was not easy to mess with.

The second-in-command of the organization was ordered to apologize with double the money and the guy whose finger was cut off.

Well, the fish is officially hooked.

Of course, the Otomo Group will not accept an apology lightly.

Not only that, but the second hand of the Murase-gumi who came to apologize cut off a finger, and his face was slashed with blood.

Such humiliation is unbearable. A few days later, the second-in-command of the Murase group attacked the Otomo group.

The conflict between the two sides has officially escalated.

However, the Muraze group was obviously not the opponent of the Sannokai, and was finally brutally annexed.

Although this piece of fat is eaten to the mouth,

But the struggle within the Sanno group has only just begun.

An underworld struggle that affects the survival of their respective forces has officially begun.

The plot is not detailed.

Although there are many characters in the film, the forces are mixed.

But it doesn't seem mind-blowing at all.

There is not much suspense, the plot and characters are very clear and clear.

"Extremely Wicked" is also known as "All Evils".

And the film is just like its name, throughout the whole film, there is no one good person.

The leader of the Shan Wanghui , Guan Nei, has a set on the surface and a set on the back.

A minute ago, I said to Zhang San: I went to work with Li Si, and his business will be taken care of by you in the future.

The next minute, he said to Li Si: I went to make Zhang San, and I will be the first to promote you.

Conspirators with different appearances, full of bad water.

As the protagonist, Otomo played by Takeshi Kitano.

Although he is chivalrous and loyal, he is only ignorant. Behind the scenes, they will do whatever it takes to achieve their own interests.

Here, there is ruthlessness, no justice, no love, only interests.

There is no worst, only more ruthless.

The so-called smiling faces and hypocrisy are just because their respective interests have not been touched.

It's all cliff-side grabbers from top to bottom.

Of course, as the saying goes, you will have to pay it back sooner or later.

Under the plot setting in which the mantis catches the cicada and the oriole, the unremarkable characters come to the end.

Compared with those gangster films with passion and righteousness, this film is a precious realism.

I still remember that when I was young and ignorant, whenever I watched those hot-blooded gangster films, I always fantasized that I would be the boss of the gang in the future.

Then there was a group of good brothers who valued friendship, and they fought all the way to the end, not afraid of life and death, and shared weal and woe together.

Thinking about it now, I can't help but feel ridiculous and childish.

The extreme evil in the movie is endless, but the cruelty in the real world is just around the corner.

The distance between reality and movies is actually not that big.

    There is no good bird in the battle without benevolence and justice. It is cold-blooded, cruel, and has some dark humor. Awesome group play, N many brilliant characters, a cold story to the end, and even the soundtrack is super powerful.
