There are too many rules of life, so we can only fight and kill in the movie, life is really boring, so we need to eliminate evil and rape in the movie!
"Humpback City", a movie of fighting and killing, the knife is very sharp, the blood is very bright red, after watching a relaxed body, the pressure of the week is cleaned up!
<h1 class= "pgc-h-arrow-right" > why we like movies with violent elements</h1>
Why do we need film violence in our lives? Because you are born human, you and I are like him, naturally animalistic, aggressive. The wild horses on the grassland galloped recklessly, two strong front legs jumped up, accompanied by a thunderous roar, extraordinary, and then look at the horses used for group photos on the Qinghai grassland scenic spot, their eyes are unfocused, motionless, even if you touch it a few times, it will not look at you.
The wild horse is good by nature, and the domesticated horse has no trace of horse nature except for its posture and appearance, and only when you pump it urgently, it is only slightly angry, roaring a few times, begging you to whip lighter.
Animals can be domesticated little by little until they are completely lost in nature, while humans, as animals at the top of the ecological chain, can be taught and endowed with culture, but it is difficult to completely lose their nature. Because human beings need continuous creativity to upgrade and optimize society, and creativity stems from the most primitive animal nature.
We humans have a culture, it is okay to pick up cats and dogs, of course, it is not okay to fight and kill, it is really panicked, it does not matter, it is good to have a film like "Humpback City", let the audience go to the screen to fight and kill, in the camera blood stained robes, good release of nature.
There are many scenes of violence in Humpback City
It is said that people in modern society are cultured, even as a channel for natural venting, film violence can not be exquisite, direct cruel unadorned violence is not OK, so violence is whitewashed into an aesthetic.
<h1 class= "pgc-h-arrow-right" > a succinct aesthetic of violence</h1>
Humpback City is a perfect illustration of what is called the aesthetic of violence. Really fighting, swords piercing the chest, blood flowing, but the more the audience looks more comfortable, they wish to become blind played by Kitano Takeshi, with such an elegant and invincible sword technique, how about blindness?
Kitano's violent aesthetic, with an oriental simplicity, is also a sharp Japanese knife, and under the lens of Quentin Tarantino, there are too many tricks and the action is too old-fashioned. The reason why the strong are strong is originally only between one or two moves, the first scene in the film, the humpback city is taken of the sword, a step on the hands and feet ankles, before you can see how to draw the sword, the opponent has fallen.
Every fight in the film is very concise, only a sword sound is heard, and the opponent has been killed. After working with the efficiency of a sword to countless weak chickens, finally waiting until humpback city faced the strongest opponent super bodyguard in the whole field, looked at the progress bar, the film still had 18 minutes to end, I thought it would be at least a 10-minute strong duel, I didn't expect the old blind man to still draw a sword, the sword was silent, penetrating the bodyguard's chest, the bodyguard did not dishonor the name of the strongest opponent, a knife hurt the skin of the humpback city, and then the paper floated to the ground, and the battle was over, lasting less than 20 seconds.
Takeshi Kitano killed very well in the film
In martial arts films, there are generally bridges with one enemy and many enemies, and the protagonist is always a person, a sword, and a group of opponents are beaten fat. Beasts of prey are always mavericks, and cows, sheep, chickens, ducks, fish, and geese flock in groups.
Throughout the film, kitano Takeshi played by Humpback City is almost full in force value, is an invincible existence, no matter how many opponents are, or the opponent is very strong, the old blind man is floating in the sky with five words, that is not a thing, even the handsome bodyguard played by Asano Tadanobu, it is difficult to put up such a big torch, the final scene is so small, Kitano Takeshi is not a person!
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" > rhythm is tense and full of Kitano Takeshi humor</h1>
An action movie, the whole process is slashing and killing, of course, it is not OK, there is a simple and fast battle, it should be accompanied by a soothing and gentle dance. Two geisha, one is a woman, very good-looking, can play a very beautiful hand of Japanese ancient music, the other is a big old man, after makeup is also very good-looking, can dance elegant and feminine Japanese dance, how good is the dance? The underworld finishes watching the level of wanting to pull him to sleep with!
Kitano's humor is everywhere in the film, such as asking Shinyoshi to paint a pair of eyes that have no sense of violation for his old blind man.
For example, in the scene where Scrap Wood Shinji teaches several young people to fight, no matter how it is taught, it must be beaten up.
<h1 class= "pgc-h-arrow-right" > the Japanese abandonment of traditional "righteousness."</h1>
There is a scene in the film where Ogaya raises a pistol and is hanged by Humpback City before he can shoot, which explains the background of the entire film's era: "Oh, it turns out that this story takes place in modern times, and there are guns. "It was a time when the Japanese were abandoning traditional principles.
In Japan before the defeat in World War II, there was a very important word called righteousness! Righteousness can probably be understood as a similar concept in traditional Chinese society. But relatively more extreme than China, the most serious insult in the old Japanese society was: "You are a person who does not understand righteousness." Roughly equivalent to China, the elders scolded the young people: "You have a dog thing that no one has kept in life." "
Righteousness is embodied in all aspects, such as the obedience of children to their fathers, the obedience of wives to their husbands, the admiration of the general public for the emperor... One of the most important points is the emphasis on the importance of revenge. If you are insulted, you must take revenge to the end in order to have the opportunity to be a person again. In order to regain their righteousness.
One of the scenes seems inconsequential, about the handsome bodyguard who recalls that when he was young, he was beaten down by a ronin, and years later he found ronin's home, and if ronin, who was already too ill to move, got up and dueled with him, he wanted to find righteousness. Ronin is terminally ill and unable to meet his requirements, and the bodyguards can only slash Ronin's wooden sword in half with one knife, thus fulfilling the ultimate mission of revenge and recovering righteousness.
The story of the geisha sister and brother also unfolds along the line of revenge, in order to find revenge and find righteousness, the two brothers and sisters have suffered a lot, the younger brother has even been asking men to dress as women, and their lying down has allowed them to achieve part of their mission and kill some enemies.
But in the end, when the sister still frowned and asked, "The underworld boss has not yet killed, what to do?" Aunt Xinji looked indifferent and comforted: "If the underworld boss is not dead, he is also very old now, and he is dying, what does it matter?" So the sister's tightly locked brow loosened and smiled softly.
The stubbornness to abandon righteousness is not to give the wicked a way to live, but to return to reason, to give themselves a way to live, and not to let righteousness live and die. But is it to allow the wicked to go unpunished? No, there is a hero like Humpback City, who has long been targeted, and turned the underworld boss into blindness with a sword, making him miserable for the rest of his life.
Aunt Shinji's house was burned down, just as the era of stubbornness and irrationality was gone, the craftsmen who built the house built the new house at a cheerful rhythm, the people in traditional Japanese costumes began to collectively dance the Western-style tap dance, the thick clouds were already gathered, and the last few minutes of the dance were like a long-awaited thunder, booming, the old era passed, the new era came!
