Tiangong is silent to dry chess

Takeshi Kitano's films are just like his people. They have always had an indescribable sense of formality. They don't have feelings, and they are ridiculed. You thought he was joking, but he took out a gun from his arms and put it on your head. His mind went blank and he thought it was over, he put the gun away again, laughed dryly, patted you on the shoulder and walked away. The movie starts with Kato's death advice, and it becomes strange. It is no longer an ordinary gangster fighting for power and profit, but a shogun. There is no conspiracy, no usurpation, life and death are not asked, and it is over. It seems that every Japanese gangster has no interest in life and only wants to die, including the big guys, they regard human life as a mustard, and they will destroy their families at every turn, but they can't see any ambition to make achievements and make a career. Eh, but he doesn't stop his opponents, and he doesn't care about his own life and death. It seems that nothing is as interesting as cheating his little brother for money. In the words of the tavern owner at the end: You Japanese are always inscrutable. It is not so much unfathomable, but rather empty. The heart of the boss seems to be like a star to another star. To die to live, to live to die. The boss is not like a boss, but a typical underworld character in To Qifeng's movies. He is cold, innocent, and a little boring. He seems to be numb to fate and resigned to it. No, just like NJ's line played by Wu Nianzhen in "One One": If you live again, it seems that it is really unnecessary

    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
