At that time, the land of our country was covered up with violence again and again. Unlike this film, the perpetrator was powerful and invincible.
Regarding the ending: It
seems to be a game of disorder and rules. Just as in "The Godfather", there is always a re-showdown of rights every ten years. Every x years, a young man will come out to kill the boss and dominate himself. If the city of God continues, when the boy who killed Li Si in the film, when they grow up to Li Si's age, they will also die at the hands of the boy. The desire for power is terrible.
To put it simply, this is a film in which I witnessed violence when I was a teenager, and became violent when I grew up.
The most effective rules for surviving in the city of God are to kill, kill dissidents, rob others of business, and build a good relationship with Tiaozi. It is not the violence wrapped in suits and shoes in "The Godfather", which requires too much cover up, but direct and naked. Softheartedness and negligence are undesirable, and killings often happen. Although the handsome boxing champion did not kill Li Si, the cause was caused by this, and a subtle chain reaction of fate took place. At this moment, I remembered the scene. When the old man blessed Zie to become Li Si, he advised him: Never make love while wearing the blessed thing, or you will die. When Li Si raped the handsome boxer's girlfriend, he forgot this. It seems that even the director has forgotten this, probably because he does not want to bring mysticism into the film.
