Your boss is your boss. Yamamoto, played by Takeshi Kitano, is the most prominent selling point of the film. He has facial paralysis with sunglasses, taciturn, secretiveness, calm restraint, and quick and precise action marksmanship. The film does not have too many ups and downs, the drama is not too redundant, the rhythm is light, and the depiction of the villain is very easy, a bit stunned. It can be said that except for Yamamoto, the other characters are not thorough, lacking in goodness, or they are all. For the image of Yamamoto.
In the battle between the gangs, the Hanaoka family lost to the Hisamatsu family, and the Yamamoto and Sakata brothers parted ways because of different value choices. The former changed his name to Sakamoto and came to the United States to find his half-brother Ajian to start again, while the latter joined the hostile camp to protect the lives of his brothers. Kato committed suicide and sought the gang of Tokyo Shirase, but he didn't want to speed up the gang's death. Sakata cut his fingers and surrendered, and finally fell to the abdomen to end loyally. Ajian was originally a street drug gangster, his eldest brother covered the scenery, but he died on the street. Gangsters can't help but don't have a safety card. They are timid and cowardly not being seen, and they are brave and cold. The simple thinking Denny finally survived. Under Yamamoto's precise planning, a scene of "killing brothers" fascinated the gang leader's eyes. With a notoriety that even the enemy despised on his back, he fell in the machine gun fire and achieved greater justice.
The movie wants to show the gangster siblings or the Bushido spirit, cut off their fingers and cut their belly, shoot the forehead, or face the machine gun. These people are self-righteous with honor and dignity. But whether it is affection or belief, they are more restrained and calm, or more submerged by Yamamoto's heroic personality.
The language of the camera enriches the whole plot, presents the stream of consciousness of the characters and promotes the trend of the plot. There are many middle shots. The close-up shots and close-up shots allow the inner activities of the characters to be presented. With Hisaishi Joe's music, there is a sense of fate in the world. There is no grand scene scheduling, the bloody and violent scenes are short and flat, which is decisive and direct for the plot, but it is not much to watch, and the emotional tension is insufficient, but trapped in the calm, it has its own characteristics, showing Japan's self-denial. On the side of returning to the ceremony, there is no hearty energy, and the emotional flow is suppressed and deep.
Some people like Kitano Takeshi's movie, saying that under the extreme violence is the extreme gentleness, this is just a literary and can't go wrong. In the movie, the gentleness under the fierce face is a kind of self-soothing and a part of my personal beliefs.
