"Extremely Evil Non-Dao 3" is "evil" enough to match Kitano Takeshi

Takeshi Kitano's new work "Extremely Evil Non-Dao 3" recently came to the "Premiere" section of the Pingyao International Film Festival to be screened. Taiwan's Golden Horse Film Festival is also about to invite the "Extremely Evil" trilogy, allowing new and old film fans to witness his unique classic aesthetic of violence.

Takeshi Kitano's "Extremely Evil Non-Dao" (2010), which proved his personal status as a master of underworld films, brought out a violent floating appearance like the underworld version of the "Qingming River Map" with a seemingly multi-line character narrative, and once broke into the Cannes Film Festival to compete for the Palme d'Or. Extremely Evil 2 (2012) was nominated for the Venice Competition and won the Asian Film Award for Best Director for its violent portrayal of the underworld struggle, black money politics, criminal corporatization and the worship of the values of society as a whole.

In the end, the more honest the chapter, the worse it gets

It's been 5 years since the previous game, Extreme evil 2, and now we're finally waiting for the final chapter of the series. Although "Extremely Evil Non-Way 3" continues the tone of the first two parts, but when it comes to the final chapter, it is bound to be dark enough to watch, gangs, gunfights, and fierce fights, kitano not only shoots the action scenes like thunder, but also unusually arranges a large number of lines in the style of a cannon. He wanted to tell everyone that this was a Kitano Takeshi movie that had surpassed the past and evolved.

In terms of cast, "Extreme Evil 3" is still strong, in addition to himself, there are also big names such as Toshiyuki Nishida, Nantomo Omori, MatsuShigetoshi, and Ryo Ōsugi. At the same time, Kitano also specially did the opposite, but arranged an actor with a "good face" to be a fierce and vicious underworld. "If you ask an actor who always plays the bad guys, then it will make all the characters exude the same gangster smell, and the movie will be bad overall." In this film, the higher the status of the rogue, the more ordinary the appearance, but of course the stomach is black. ”

In this cold gangster infighting story, in addition to being full of betrayal and cruelty, the entire film is full of evil people, and no character is decent or good. The drama bones joined forces to play, kitano Takeshi returned to the original point is still enough under the fierce material.

New plot The fight spread to South Korea

A large number of scenes in "Extremely Evil Road 3" were filmed in South Korea, telling the struggle between the two gangs of "International Fixer" and "Violent Group Hualing Society". "Rebellion, wrists, mutual deception" is the theme of the film, kitano Takeshi is determined to carry out the style of all the evil people to the end, and he participates in the screenwriting and editing as before.

Some film critics once commented on the series: "In addition to cold, it is still cold." In addition to death, or death. All violence, all evil people, all about the underworld. "Unlike Hong Kong underworld films, where there is no human touch at all, the positive qualities of brotherhood, loyalty, and unity in the average gangster genre film have all become the object of ridicule, and everything is driven by money and profit."

Takeshi Kitano has his obsession with his work, "The first part of the Extreme Evil series focuses on the pain of the flesh, and the second part focuses on the fierce struggle caused by the verbal altercation between the Kanto and Kansai gangsters. The last one is based on strategy, betrayal, and boldness. Each work is unique, so it can be said that all three are independent works. ”

In order to climb up without hesitation to betray and not hesitate to go up, Kitano Takeshi's gang does not pay attention to human feelings, and the narrative method is crisp and clean. "There are no pictures of eating with my wife or anything like that. Even if there is a trunk, the foliage is not depicted in detail. The movies are all about discussing bad things, roaring and punching each other. If [the character] shows a hint of emotion, there will be abnormal pain. So I wanted to minimize that color. ”

Takeshi Kitano on "Evil"

"It does not become evil if it is not discovered." There have been U.S. presidents who resigned because of Watergate. In fact, other presidents are doing the same thing, but whether they are exposed or not determines whether they are good presidents or evil people. In today's era, in order to maintain the normal development of society, everyone is restraining explicit desires and violence, but just as in japan's Warring States period, people will behead people and cut their stomachs, people will also do cruel things. The characters in this movie are also honest in a sense. Audiences should want to at least see this bluntness in the movie. ”
