In the Bible, the two cities of Sodom and Gomorra were very sinful. The Lord brought down sulfur and fire from the sky, and Gomorra was burned to ashes. The "notorious" "120 Days of Sodom" came from this, and "Gamola" refers to the sin city of Gomorrah. However, there is no dialogue or wording related to Gomorra in the film. The criminal organization in it is Camorra, which is a secret society similar to the Mafia. As the oldest organized crime group in Italy, they are active in Naples. In the region, money is collected through drug dealing, blackmail and other methods, and their activities have led to a high murder rate and many social ills in the region.
In 2006, Roberto Saviano published the novel "Gomora". The book exposed Gomora's crimes in a documentary way, which caused a sensation both domestically and internationally in Italy, but the blatant gang released it. Words: Don’t let Saviano live this Christmas. The 29-year-old author currently lives in Rome and is protected by the police. This situation has been maintained for two years.
The movie "Gamola" is based on Saviano's novel. Compared with "City of God", which is also a realistic route, the entertainment component of "Gamola" is greatly reduced. The story revolves around different characters, roughly divided into five interlaced paragraphs: a child longs to enter the gang to grow up, the two guys want to lay down their own lives, in addition to the guy responsible for sending condolences to the organization, secretly talking to China A fashion tailor, a shrewd garbage disposal dealer and his young starter. However, the owner of the clothing factory and the garbage disposal company in the film did not display the "I am a gangster" sign. The film only shows the fact that they are controlled by the gang in a quiet way, such as a tailor and a group of people being shot and a kid. Shocking scenes such as driving heavy trucks.
The gangsters in "Gamola" are obviously not the type of suits and shoes that are more cruel and cruel on the street. Several bosses look ashamed and unremarkable, but their business is global. Kemora has super penetration and adaptability. It follows the trend of economic globalization. In addition to traditional drug trafficking, it also engages in profiteering businesses such as fashion production and garbage disposal.
Some viewers will feel clueless before half of the journey, the specific characters are not connected to the passages they belong to, and the whole movie will not be pleasant. Because that is not what "Gamola" is after. Its strength lies in its high skill and subtlety. The sound processing, camera lens and scene scheduling are all excellent. For example, the magnified breathing sound when walking out of the garbage container highlights the fatigue and tension of the characters; the imaginary treatment of several murder passages uses the depth of field to explain the incident without any muddling; the sound editing of the entire movie matches the picture, even more so Subtle.
I have to give "Gamola" a position, it can be called a deep realistic gangster film, using an extremely daily way to express violence beyond fighting, killing and killing. It avoids the number of general gangster movies, selects scenes with social colors such as the interior of the factory, and large buildings with gangs are the soul of the movie. The performance of the Chinese community is also a highlight of "Gamola", in which the characters have distinctive personalities and their words and deeds are intriguing.
One last piece of information: Scarlett Johansson wore a golden dress on the red carpet of the 2006 Venice Film Festival. The underworld leader who loves movies forgets himself and puts himself in the performance. As a result, he was arrested after the release. "Related---how, does it sound gimmicky?
Kemora is a closed world. The film explores the incomprehensible loyalty and mysterious rules of the members of the organization, and confronts the sudden violence with chilling indifference. This masterpiece captures the impact of "City of God" Combine with the inside story of the gangster in "The Godfather".
--- Wendy Ide ("Time")
Ganoni took a calm attitude. He did not make a trial, nor did he " idolize " the gang, which suppressed the possibility of madness and artistic routines. Through hand-held photography and close-up shots, the faces on the street in his movies are the models for most gangster movies.
