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.

    #北野武影展2019# Please don't tell me this is Kitano Takeshi's debut work, because it is not like the work of a fledgling person at all, regardless of the performance or narrative rhythm editing and soundtrack are all online or even unconventional. If it is the first time to direct, then he must be a movie wizard! Cruel enough and tragic enough, many passages are simply unexpected, and they also laid the way for Kitano Takeshi’s "violent aesthetics". It is illogical but reasonable, because it only conforms to Kitano Takeshi’s perverse and rebellious personality and behavioral logic, such as "the original policeman". Behind the scenes, the big boss played a trick, and finally walked over to the cruel opponent like a zombie. Two people shot each other, and he even shot his stupid sister to death! Just like the line at the end of the film, "This world is crazy!" ps It can be seen from the film that Kitano was influenced by Hong Kong gangster movies in the 1980s. It is not difficult to recall Wu Yusen's "The True Colors of a Hero" in some places.

    Kitano is always walking around...but I still have a hard time understanding what he is thinking. . . The soundtrack has extra points until the final death has a dramatic sense of stage. The sudden turn of the ending once again tells us the truth that people cannot be seen as they are. . .
