Takeshi Kitano

Rodolfo 2022-01-12 08:01:54

I have watched six or seven films of Takeshi Kitano before and after. The uncle in "Kikujiro" and the husband of the policeman in "Hanahuo", which are the most memorable, are exuding warm friendship through this cold, expressionless face. This kind of silent warmth that belongs to men is like the sunlight spilt through the dense forest, the shade is mottled and elusive but never dissipated.
Let’s talk a little bit off topic, it’s the old man’s 2010 film, "Extremely Evil", which is also a gangster film with naked violence. I prefer this "Big Brother" ten years ago, although it still shows various uncomfortable scenes such as finger chop, laparotomy, chopstick plug and so on. But compared to the one who called his brothers and brothers and murdered mercilessly, he had departed from the traditional samurai spirit and turned into a dog-biting gang, as if the wicked became more and more wicked in order to survive, such a very evil world without morality, this time I can still see many Kitano movies. The things that have been insisting on in the world, such as the friendship of men.

The beginning is a close-up of yourself that lasted for nearly half a minute, the camera moved from near to far, and then zoomed in. The signature expressionless face and the twitching of the corners of the mouth, the old man is clearly styling, which swells the appetite of every audience and is full of expectations. The thought of "this time is another cool story" came out of his mind.
The film roughly tells the story of a former Japanese gang member who acted in the United States in his own way and finally touched the Mafia and died. It couldn’t be simpler. As Shirase’s opponent said in the film, I’m an old-fashioned young and Dangerous boy who has already regarded death as home, so in the end, even with one enemy, Yamamoto, the gangster played by Takeshi Kitano, can calmly open the door and face the outside. The ten-man mafia killer has no extra feelings.

There are many clips in the film that make me feel unfinished, making me believe that even if I am in the Asura Purgatory, I should stick to some guidelines.
Two murders
Once the boss wanted to entertain and went to the nightclub he often went to. All the attendants at the scene relaxed their vigilance. Only Yamamoto, who was still a subordinate, discovered the subtle difference in the situation and killed the killer. There was no hesitation from the beginning to the end. There was no cold face. Stay one more minute at Sensual Dog Horse; the other is after Shirase and Yamamoto gang merged, a group of people ate at a sushi restaurant, Shirase and his subordinates discussed countermeasures against the mafia, the camera frequently showed that his pair was a little bit dark. Evil's eyes and the murderous aura on his body is completely different from other subordinates who can only be called gangsters, and only he has discovered the killer posing as a eater hiding behind Shirase. Scholars die for their confidants, and the reason why big bosses are big bosses, I think it is because of them.
What makes me most embarrassed is that Kato, for his eldest brother’s career, said "please ask the righteous uncle" and ended himself. Before you recover, he is still fantasizing, "In fact, Shirase tempted him. There is probably nothing in the gun. Bullets", the wall behind is already full of eye-catching red. And finally, in order to save Danny, the big boss Yamamoto caused him to die and let go of the mafia leader. All the immediate disaster caused him. During the period, he did not hesitate for a second, and did not forget to tell Danny that he had hurt him. The person is himself, the two owe nothing to each other, and the quiet words support the touch of the unknowing brother, and the touch is so speechless that he can only express it in the most primitive fuck.
Without vigorousness, the friendship between men is so abrupt and unreasonably thrown in front of you. The unhuman and cold and indisputable makes the audience stunned, but found that it has long been seized by silky sadness. In the end, Danny's string of shit and fuck echoed in his ears, his eyes were already moist, and he once again admitted that he was defeated by Takeshi Kitano's violent, cruel and cold feelings. Okay, father, you won again.

Ps, of course, there are rare warm shots in the film: a group of people playing on the beach, Kato's playing basketball, even the kicking and kicking rogues and the slight improvement in his basketball skills. After claiming to be Jordan's short and relaxing time. Kitano's bad tastes are indispensable. For example, from the very beginning, when you roll the dice, you can win Danny for 60 yuan with a complete language barrier, to let your girlfriend pretend to be a passerby to bet with Danny, as if you are saying that uncle, I will win you as a little bastard. How many streets you don't know about it. There are also Russian roulette-like games that scare the mafia bosses, to name a few.

Then I went to Mtime.com to read the most popular film reviews, and I was quite disappointed. It was probably the worst one among the top film reviews. But after I think about it, there are a thousand people and a thousand Hamlet, yourself. Whatever is more important may be nothing more than bullshit to others, so let's put away the mentality of trying to persuade them.

    A movie of Takeshi Kitano blood is a gangster movie, but Takeshi Kitano always contains a little innocence and that kind of subtle brotherhood. Kitano, these movies have to be brushed a few times. Finally, I really love the ending and the whole film with Japanese-style clothing.

    The rapid rise and rapid fall is like the story of Scorsese, but it is an unspeakable Japanese emptiness that ruins them. The way of loyalty is also like emptiness. Terajima Jin’s love for Kitano is too subtle, like emptiness. Life grabs the straw. But the sad ending of the Italian Gang is a factual reality. Kitano has great charm and can afford to be narcissistic
