<h1>Introduction</h1>
You think the gangs are pretty beautiful? What do you think is the difference between him and the average person?
Fujii Michito's "The Sopranos and the Family" tells you that he, like ordinary people, bears the ebb and flow of life. What is even more tragic is that the most ordinary "family" of ordinary people cannot be enjoyed peacefully.
If you're in your hair tie, you'll be infected by the disdainful, hot-blooded bad boy Kenji
If you are in the year of the weak crown, you will be sucked by the cool little brother Kenji who has a model and a righteousness
If you are in the middle of your life, you will be impressed by the helpless, desperate mourning man Kenji
How does a man go from fearlessness to hopelessness?
<h1>tale</h1>
The protagonist Kenji is not a happy child from the beginning, the father of the gangsters has jumped into the sea because he has no money to buy drugs, and Kenji, who lacks a normal family, wanders in a huge city and is small
Fist swings at the drug dealer he meets, eager to throw all the drugs in the sea to accompany the terrible father
Fortunately, while eating at a restaurant, he accidentally saved the "Shibaka Gang" boss who was targeted at gunpoint, otherwise he would have died tragically at the hands of the "KyodaiKai Gang" by snatching the drugs from them
The generous invitation of the boss of the "ShibaKa Gang", coupled with the sentence "Do you have anywhere else to go" hit Kenji's lonely and desperate sensitive heart, he had no other choice and had to enter the life of the gang, because there was a person who really looked like "Father".
6 years is not long, not short, enough for a teenager to grow into a cold gang leader
Even if he has a head and a face, he who is ignorant of love will only be silly and ruthless in front of the beloved woman, silly and cute
Due to the demolition and development of the city, ZF quietly lit fires behind the scenes for the peaceful "Shibaka Gang" and "Kyodaikai Gang", which broke the calm days
During the gang clashes, his best brother died tragically at the gunpoint of the boss.
Robbed, despised, assassinated. Kenji, for the sake of his brothers, for the sake of the boss, for the sake of the gang's reputation, and for his own sake, he chose to angrily poke the gang next door and go to jail.
Before parting, in the embrace of the beloved woman, all the longing for love was released...
This goes in for 14 years... The world has quietly changed dramatically
The format quietly becomes 4:3, and a sense of passing...
Kenji returns to the "Shibaka Gang", and the prosperity of the past is gone, replaced by a pale desolation
The phone changed from a clamshell to a touch screen, and Kenji changed from teenager to middle age
The organization is on the verge of disintegration, the boss is suffering from advanced cancer, the former glory has completely disappeared, and the gang that "wants to explore what a real man is like" has been reduced to secretly supplementing small fish in the middle of the night to make a living
Today's ordinary "gangsters" have plummeted in society, not only have no money to earn and no prestige, but are even spurned by thousands of people like street rats
He wants to learn to love people, he wants to insist on kindness.
He learned that the boss was seriously ill with cancer and took out the most money without saying a word
He learns that his former eldest brother may be selling drugs for the sake of life, and fights with him
He learned that his lover had his own children, and in order to avoid the misunderstanding and discomfort of his daughters, he chose to stay by their side and take care of them silently as an "uncle"
An accident exposed his identities as "gangsters" and "murderers" to the public eye
The good brother who found a job for him was poor and stable, but he lost his job because of the exposure of his identity, and his family left him
The crystallization of kenji's love with his beloved woman before he left was also treated coldly by society because of the exposure of his identity and chose to leave him
Kenji's own father-like boss struggled with the second half of his body in desolation and decay, and eventually died alone under the claws of cancer
However, the organization that really does drug trafficking and trafficking lawlessness has gradually whitewashed the identity of the "gangster" in the collusion between the police and bandits, and has earned money from the underworld to live a clean and luxurious life
The only one who was not affected by his identity was his little nephew, who regarded him as an idol. This little nephew has found the way to survive in today's society, not in the name of "gangsters", but never soft-hearted, making good use of fists and the Internet to protect himself, and traveling freely between black and white
Xu Xianzhi is 20 years younger, and if he comes with this era, he may also find such a way to survive
But now he has no room to think about the so-called way of survival, and the reason why he entered the "gang" is because he has a boss like his father, so that he can use this place as a writer
And now he has lost all his friends and family close to him
Since his release from prison, he has slowly accepted the changes of the times, but the times have not chosen to accept him
Why didn't the times accept him? It is because in this era the evil people are in charge, and the police and bandits collude. The real wicked enjoy the glory and wealth, but those who really want to be good can only swallow their anger and carefully avoid all kinds of accusation labels that may be installed on them.
The last good thing he did in his life was to inadvertently help his little nephew to do the truly lawless gangsters and evil police.
But his fate this time was to die under his brother's knife. Brother because he lost everything, Kenji understood, because he also lost everything. But the real reason why they lost was never what Kenji did, but the label given by the times, the media restricting the one-sidedness that the masses believed, and controlling the authoritative power of the media.
In the end, Kenji carries everything, saying "I'm sorry" at the last second before dying, and falls into the same sea as his father, symbolizing a completely different meaning of life.
<h1>Overall</h1>
This film tells the tragic reality story of the protagonist "Kenji", who has the identity of a gangster, and in a society where things are not human after being released from prison, his identity is difficult to identify with, so that he is unable to struggle.
Unlike many other commentaries, I marked the first 20 minutes of the subtitle as a "prologue" – its role is to give background to the main conflicts of the story.
The main conflict in this film is to discuss that after Kenji is released from prison, all the love around him is powerless and inevitably moves to the end of the broken life because of the change of the times and his identity as a "gangster" and "murderer".
The prologue tells that Kenji chose to join the "gangster" because there is an organization that does not do bad things, and there is a boss who can empathize with his father's love.
The first scene is kenji entering the gang until he goes to jail for his crimes. He has a gangster life that he understands and identifies with, but the force behind the majeure has spawned conflicts between the gangs, prompting him to go to prison until he faces an unfamiliar society 14 years later.
The second act is kenji's release from prison to find that society has changed drastically, and it has become as beautiful as the past, even if he wants to go to the most ordinary life, he can't do it until the lover around him is gradually drifting away from him.
The third act is that after Kenji loses his boss, brother, and family due to public opinion, it is difficult for the shadow to find the meaning of survival, and in desperation, he chooses to take the initiative to use a stick to target the real culprit behind the scenes - another gang leader and his collusion with the police - and in despair, he uses his life to make reparations to his brother to release the tragic end of his inner repression. (Cleverly, he didn't know that his move also prevented his murderous little nephew from going to jail.)
This film is not intended to tell the strong conflict between gangsters or exciting sensory stimulation, it is aimed at ordinary people under the identity of "gangsters", through his perspective to feel the powerlessness and helplessness of social change and identity belonging.
It's hard to live a real life in excitement, excitement, and freshness. We are constantly confused and powerless about who we are, who we love, who we belong to, and who we want to be
The film is not about conveying "we should do this", but about the resonance of "someone is like us, or even worse than us"
We are born lonely, looking for companionship, dependence, and love in the course of our lives.
But this seemingly simple thing is really not easy, and it takes a lifetime to explore.
We are in a state of confusion and powerlessness
But we also know that this round blue planet has the same emotional feelings as us everywhere.
These emotions make us closely connected,
We are not the only ones who are experiencing difficulties
After loneliness and despair, someone will eventually remember,
The little bits and pieces that we have shown with love.
