Hello boss

Reading Kitano Takeshi’s "Double-sided Kitano Takeshi" and "Big Brother", "Double-sided Kitano Takeshi" is about his personal experience, more like an autobiography, and "Big Brother" depicts the ambitious underworld life, structure Rigorous, solid, relaxed, and ambitious, following the narrative structure of a standard movie, it is more like a propositional composition of the underworld theme.

The big guys were forced to go to the United States because they were loyal and unwilling to submit to other gangs. However, when they arrived in the United States, they still couldn't get rid of the fate of fighting, killing and killing, just like they threw the paper airplane on the rooftop. When I get to the ground, come out and mix, I have to pay it back sooner or later. I really like this metaphor. The shot was very beautiful. A paper airplane hovered in the air and flew down naturally.

The subject matter of the underworld is naturally loyal. The so-called loyalty cannot be expressed in words. If you use your mouth to express it, the movies that put loyalty on your lips all day make people feel particularly pretentious. In terms of expressing men’s emotions, Kitano Takeshi and Hong Kong’s Du Qifeng are in the same line. They are the most considerate directors who interpret loyalty, and the affection between Japanese men is more loyal. I always feel that this is inseparable from Japanese culture. The bloodthirsty, violence and loyalty of this nation are deeply rooted. Nationality, they are born with such things in their blood, so Japanese movies always have a cold and decisive power. This spirit determines the status of Japanese movies in the world's movie history.
The loyalty of the boss to the former boss and the loyalty of Kato to the boss are unavoidable. In order to expand the influence of the boss, Kato did not hesitate to persuade the boss of Little Tokyo with a decisive way of staying with him. The life of this flesh and blood character tells us what loyalty is. I think there is a spirit of sacrifice and dedication in Japanese culture. That's why they are so strong, abiding by the rules, and the spirit of unity and dedication, no matter what they put in any field. It can bring a positive effect to people. You can get a glimpse of the essence of Japanese culture from Japanese movies.

One scene is particularly fun. The Japanese are not too tall, especially when they are with the tall and strong sunspots of the United States. Sometimes the height gap makes people laugh, especially when the Japanese played basketball with the Americans. The Japanese are very good at winning, but basketball is not their strong point after all. Kato doesn’t even understand the basic rules of basketball. He just yells excitedly there. This long shot is particularly interesting and a bit of flavor after the intense plot. It is also a typical passage where the cultures of the United States and Japan collide, and the Japanese later taught the Americans to play chess, which gave them a peaceful atmosphere.

Guns are an extension of human violence. Kitano Takeshi and Du Qifeng are people who use guns to talk. The difference is that Du Qifeng is better at playing with guns one by one, paying more attention to the form of gun use, the action of drawing the gun, and the person holding the gun. The posture, the standing posture, the expression when shooting, the slow motion when being shot, the blue smoke from the gunfire, are all exquisitely played by him, while Kitano's guns are unscrupulous and informal. The gun It is a must-have item to carry at any time, like a part of the body, the gun speaks for him, the hand drives the arm to pull the trigger, fierce and neat, and it is a face-to-face encounter with a knife and a gun, without evasiveness, with arrogance The arrogance of the victory, a slight glance at the corner of his mouth, and the ferocious gaze hidden in the sunglasses, the coldness made people shudder.

Kitano is good at using long shots. Long shots give people a dignified and deep feeling. These shots exude infinite power due to the emotions of the characters. Therefore, the elements that support a good story are always the emotions of the characters and the fate of the characters. .

Kitano has a very clever arrangement for the story, and his affection with Danny is more like a kind of friendship, a kind of foreign friendship, mutual respect for each other, from the film you can also see the director's attitude, that is, friendly to black people. And respect, racial discrimination in the United States has always been a phenomenon that cannot be eradicated, and the director also used this film to make a merciless mockery of white people. I think this is also a place to be proud of as a director.
A movie without emotions lacks human care. In the end, the boss gave all the money to Danny and faced death alone. This can not help but once again awe in awe, and that old bag prop has become a very important one. At first, his previous brother loaded him with money to let him run, and finally he gave Danny to let Danny run. Invisibly, this broken bag prop carried a kind of transfer function. This kind of emotional transmission makes people smile at the note, the arrangement is ingenious, and the first is connected. It is inevitable to be moved at this time.

    Takeshi Kitano, an expressionless man with facial paralysis, is really exciting. Let's take a good look at this movie. It has evolved violence to the extreme and mixed with warmth. I really recommend it! For more movie reviews, my blog: blog.sina.com.cn/bluesliver

    Of course, it is still full of the old style of Takeshi Kitano. It seems that there is no complete plot or story, and it is mainly people. The facial paralysis performance of the facial paralyzed uncle makes me feel that it is the embodiment of the Kurishov effect! Gangster is not his best film.
