As one of my favorite movies, the most fascinated is the picture of Kitano Takeshi. The whole film is dominated by dark and cool tones, and the hot blood is flying across the screen, but the gloomy coldness is always present. Paired with wonderful Japanese electronic music, it creates how a group of traditional gangsters living in buildings and neon lights in a modern urban background go to a crazy end.
Dayou is a representative of traditional gangsters, who values friendship and discipline.
Kataoka police officer and Shi Yuanyuan are the trend-setters of this era, and they will do anything for profit.
The president of the Shanwang Society seems to represent the alienated social value and the reality of "people's hearts are not ancient", which has brought enormous pressure to Oyou who abides by morality, forcing Oyou to self-destruction, and finally being crushed by the wheels of the times. Because the times do not allow people like Dayou to live, let alone the gangsters who guard the morality to continue to exist.
When Takeshi Kitano made this film, you would guess how the director took great pains to express something, but in fact, it is more likely that he just wanted to make money, complained by the way, and filmed the shit he felt in society to make you feel it too. For a moment, and then by the way satisfy your own violent hobby. What he cares most about is whether the audience is frightened by his elaborately designed violent scenes, which will make him very happy.
Everyone will say that Takeshi Kitano is a strange man, but you can't put any labels on him: is he a cross talk talker? Not all; a painter? Not all; a director? Not all; a hooligan?
Yes, that's right.
Funny people are hard to be labeled because they refuse to be what others expect, and they candidly show all their faces. After all, making yourself happy is the most important thing.
