Watch out for the police

The fascinating work of Kitano Takeshi is that, in my opinion, there is a very strong sense of gap between the senses, the gap between good and evil, the gap between beauty and ugliness, the gap between brutality and tenderness, and the gap between coldness and humor. If you rely on the character of the Japanese, you will find that it is the gap between the chrysanthemum and the sword, so Kitano Takeshi is a very local Japanese director. In fact, most Japanese directors are very localized, most of them have national characteristics, and most of them have personalities. I rarely hear about any Japanese director who went to Hollywood to develop or film for Hollywood. This is relatively strong (of course, Kitano has done this. ).
"Beware of the Evil Police" is the first work of Takeshi Kitano. Once it was shot, it was quite Kitano. Not to mention the violence of the Kitano brand. The humor of the Kitano brand is actually just right. This is reflected in the film chasing that scene. In the scene, the thief always ran into the street when he was fleeing in a hurry, as if to induce the police to drive and chase him coldly. It was quite funny. This was a place I didn't expect. It turned out that Takeshi Kitano was very familiar from the beginning. Humor.
In the opening movie, teenagers’ unreasonable beating of homeless men is the root of Kitano’s unreasonable sexual violence. From here, we can see Kitano’s philosophy of violence against violence. This is probably a quotation from Kubrick’s "A Clockwork Orange." Some consciousness in it.

    Takeshi Kitano's simple and violent style is initially formed

    3.8 points. Violent delays and torments, dashing but thoughtful walks, and sudden death scenes have already begun in Kitano's debut novel. Of course there are also the characteristics of female characters: sick, as if soulless, and always in a state of injury and weakness. Although this is a crime type film, the violent man does not have a very coherent main story, but takes the violent policeman played by Takeshi Kitano as a center, from his perspective and his inner feelings, to shape this seemingly A society that is calm, but violent all the time. At the end of the film, the policeman, who usually seems weak and unassertive, is the murderer Kitano has always wanted to find out. Obviously, whether it is Bei Wu or the killer of the underworld, both of them are stubbornly going to destruction, killing revenge is not the purpose, but the process.
