When it comes to the classic themes in Japanese movies, it must not be possible to get around the existence of bad high school students. From 2002's "Extreme Road Fresh Master" to 2007's "Hot Blood College", the story of youth, blood and friendship has occurred one after another. It can be said that the Japanese drama and Japanese film lovers of each era will have their own bad battle memories.
The film HiGH & LOW THE WORST, released in October last year, is the latest in the entire Bloody Block series since 2015. As the most representative "Hot Blood" series of film and television works in recent years, "Bloody Block: Extremely Evil King" is definitely worth watching!
The film tells the story of the area called WORD, where the "O" refers to the ghost high school commonly known as the "Dark Evil High School". It is divided into a timed system and a full-time system, and the timing system of banchang Murayama Yoshiki (Yuki Yamada) becomes the head of the oni evil university. A full-time freshman who transfers to oni-evil college, Kaede Shio Hanaoka (Kawamura Yuma), is determined to take full-time worldhood in order to one day challenge Murayama.
At the same time as the kings in the Oni Evil High School were fighting for supremacy, in the neighboring town of Huyaliu City in the WORD area, the strength of fengxian Gakuen was gradually increasing, except for the cadres, the strongest army with a bald head. The power of the four heavenly kings of Fengxian, led by the leader Ueda Sachio (Shizun Jun), is growing.
However, the two forces that originally did not violate the river water received provocations from each other at the same time! The personality faction led by Feng Shixiong gathered together, and the ghost and evil high school with overwhelming power, and the fengxian academy organized by Sachio, began a decisive battle between the peaks of the river beach colliding with each other at dusk. But at the same time, a pair of scarlet evil eyes showed a sarcastic smile behind the scenes...
Understanding the worldview setting of this movie will greatly help to enhance the viewing experience.
HiGH & LOW is a project co-curated by Japanese boy band EXILE and LDH, a company owned by J Soul Brothers, and Nippon Television, involving TV series, manga, SNS social platform interaction, original music albums, concerts and movies.
The series originated from the 2015 TV series HiGH & LOW-THE STORY OF S.W.O.R.D., which tells the story of five organizations in a neighborhood called WORD, where the Mountain King Federation, Ghost High School, White Rascals, RUDE BOYS, and the Dharma family fight each other.
After the series was broadcast, it quickly aroused the audience's hot discussion and attention with the excellent attraction of the actors themselves, the exquisite fight design, the elegant and powerful long shots and stop-motion shots, and the curious world view setting. Related derivative works were also laid out.
The second season of the 2016 TV series began airing, coinciding with the release of hiGH & LOW THE MOVIE, the first of the series' first trilogy of films, HiGH & LOW THE MOVIE, two other films in the 2017 trilogy, HiGH & LOW THE MOVIE 2 / END OF SKY, and The Blood Block Movie Edition 3: The Ultimate Mission HiGH & LOW THE MOVIE 3 / FINAL MISSION" has been released successively. The plot of the trilogy closely undertakes the content of the TV series version, taking the Sanno Federation represented by "S" as the starting point, taking the point and the face, and on the basis of the entanglement of the previous generation of the Sanno Federation in depth, it shows in detail the struggle between WORD and the regional Pole Road Kowloon Organization.
At the same time, the entire "HIGH & LOW" universe spread horizontally, and the Rain Palace brothers, who are also deeply involved with the Mountain King Federation, have won their own film opportunities - "Bloody Block Movie Edition 2: Red Rain HiGH & LOW THE RED RAIN (2016)". Together with the previous two TV series and three movies, they formed the basic tone of the H&L world.
Based on the presentation of the "S" story, the "O" is also independent.
The episode "The Evil King" contains two film works, showing the story of a full-time student outside the timing system led by Yoshiki Murayama (Yuki Yamada). Unlike the adult timing system, "Extremely Evil King" is actually a bad theme closer to the traditional Japanese film, telling the story of the hot-blooded and violent youth of high school students.
It is conceivable that after the "O", there is still a lot of story worth digging into.
It can be said that the entire "HIGH &LOW" series is a super long series for fans first, although it is not very friendly for passers-by, but it is a conscience work for fans of the series! Not only are the actors extremely popular in the casting, but the violent aesthetic presented by the overall shooting style of the film is very textured, and the audiovisual feast is tearful.
Not only this movie, the whole series is very recommended for everyone to make up lessons to understand!
