This June, the entertainment industry is really lively Ha.
Front foot Zhiling sister, You Sauce found a happy belonging.
All kinds of gossip about divorces, breakups and the like poured out on the back foot.
Of these messages, one is the most striking:
A 72-year-old man in the entertainment industry, brave enough to pursue himself, divorced!
Who?
It was him, Takeshi Kitano.
Hearing this name, fans who know him will surely joke: Well, it seems that he can do something.
You know, Kitano Takeshi is a well-known player in the entertainment industry.
This play is not only about his countless affairs.
It's even more that he played his life with tricks he had never had before.
One |
Takeshi Kitano was born in 1947 in Tokyo, Japan to a family of painters.
Painters, in Japan at that time, were a poor and blind profession.
Not only is it underpaid, but it is often seen as a thief and a liar.

However, the family conditions were so harsh that Kitano Takeshi not only did not drop out of school, but went all the way to college.
All this is entirely due to his mother.
Takeshi Kitano's mother was a descendant of a fallen nobleman and was educated.
She understands the importance of education to a person.
So even if the conditions at home are not good, she still strives to create a good learning environment for the children.
Plan a good future for each child, hoping that they will pass the civil service examination and live a stable life.

However, the strong and repressive maternal love made Kitano Takeshi somewhat unbearable.
He doesn't want to take the smooth path that others have set for him, he wants life to take his own path.
Therefore, kitano Takeshi, who was stubborn in his bones, made an important decision - to withdraw from school.
Takeshi Kitano as a young man
After dropping out of school, Takeshi Kitano worked in many kinds of jobs, jazz bar waiter, construction worker, taxi driver...
These low-level jobs not only did not consume his will, but the feeling of freedom made him live more wantonly.
Takeshi Kitano even broke into the entertainment industry and became a manga actor.
Manga cai (まんざい) is a Japanese form of platform comedy (known as Dong Du Laugh in Hong Kong), similar to the Chinese counterpart of cross-talk, originating from the "Long Live" of japan's ancient traditional arts. Manga is usually performed by two people, one responsible for the more serious role of finder (ツッコミ), and the other responsible for the more comical silly character (ボケ), and the two tell each other jokes at a very fast pace.
In 1973, Takeshi Kitano and Jiro Kaneko formed the counterpart cross-talk group Two Beats.
Witty and cleverly satirical, the two soon became the souls of the Japanese manga boom at that time.

I thought I would continue to gag on the stage and make the audience laugh.
At the age of 36, director Nagisa Oshima ("Sensory World") found Takeshi Kitano.
Invited him to the movie Merry Christmas, Mr. Lawrence.
Merry Christmas, Mr. Lawrence
Takeshi Kitano, who has no acting background, plays an officer in a detention center in the film.
From the rudeness and unreasonableness of the story at the beginning, to the later understanding and inclusion.
Human nature under the cruel war is vividly portrayed by Takeshi Kitano.
In particular, that scene with tearful laughter became a rare highlight of the whole movie.
With this film, Takeshi Kitano received several nominations for Best Supporting Actor and became famous for a while.
The smooth sailing of his career also indulged the banditry of Kitano Takeshi.
One incident almost put Kitano's career on hold.
In 1986, in order to grab first-hand gossip, the Japanese weekly "Friday" paparazzi crouched at the entrance of Kitano Takeshi's girlfriend's school.
The girl tried to avoid the reporter's rough encirclement, and the two sides pulled down, resulting in contusion in the girl's neck and sprain on her waist.
Kitano Takeshi, who could not swallow this mouthful, led his younger brothers to the magazine office and came to negotiate.
However, the attitude of the magazine company made Kitano Takeshi very unhappy.
Therefore, as soon as Kitano Takeshi gave the order, the younger brothers smashed the magazine.
For this reason, Kitano Takeshi was sentenced to 6 months of detention and a suspended sentence of 2 years.
After the "Firday Incident", Takeshi Kitano attended a press conference
The "Friday Incident" gave all of Japan a glimpse of kitano's unruliness and wildness in his bones.
This arrogance was brought into the movie by him.
In 1989, he was awarded the "National Director" Fukasaku Shinji (Tiger! tiger! tiger! "Dancing Under the Banner of the Army") Schedule problem, "Fierce Man" This movie inexplicably handed over to Kitano Takeshi.
Kitano Takeshi rushed the ducks to the shelves and put out the fire temporarily, but he did not think that it was this movie that made him.
Stripped of the funny goodwill of the TV show, takeshi Kitano in the movie is fierce and cold.
He plays a tough policeman, who doesn't talk much, and after every indifferent bystander, it is a fierce beating.
Calm, restrained, desperate, dark.
The film's strong personal style suddenly shocked the entire Japanese film industry.
From the shoulder handle of the Japanese manga industry to the actor who is optimistic about the big director, and then to the director who later made a blockbuster work.
Two works, two transformations.
Takeshi Kitano never intended to complete these transformations, but he did not disappoint once.
Later, a "Sonata" opened up the international market for him.
Sonata
Just when everyone was wondering what kind of good drama Kitano Takeshi would perform next.
Fate stopped Kitano's rapid pace of life and taught him a good lesson.

In 1995, Takeshi Kitano suffered a serious car accident.
He suffered multiple fractures in his right cheek and underwent several major surgeries to save his life, but due to the sequelae of nerve paralysis, he was paralyzed on half of his face.
An actor loses his expression, so what else can he do?
At that time, the media used "finished" to judge Kitano Takeshi's acting path after that.
However, it was also this car accident that scraped away the impetuousness in Kitano Takeshi's bones and made him gradually sink.
Takeshi Kitano begins to reflect on his own destiny:
"Fate is not something that one's own power can control. No matter what kind of fate awaits you in front of you, you can only accept it silently. ”
Three years later, Takeshi Kitano made the pinnacle of his artistic achievements, Hanabi.
"Hanabi"
The story tells the story of a man who struggles in the face of a desperate situation in life.
Treat the rogues with a cold heart, and be gentle and clumsy in the face of his wife.
Takeshi Kitano uses contradictory love and violence to explore the serious proposition of life and death.
The film won the Venice Golden Lion Award that year.
The world's media have embraced the film as a sign of a second renaissance of Japanese cinema.
Takeshi Kitano's performance even caught the attention of "Movie Emperor" Akira Kurosawa.
The master who had devoted his life to the film wrote a letter to Takeshi Kitano before his death:
"Takeshi Kitano, you're doing a good job, and without you, Japanese movies would be chaotic in the future." I hope you will remember my commitment and continue to carry forward the tradition of Japanese cinema. ”
Such praise can be spoken from kurosawa Akira, who has always been known for his irritability and harshness, which is enough to see his recognition of Kitano Takeshi.
Akira Kurosawa and Takeshi Kitano
Subsequent "Humpback City", "Bad Boy Sky", "Extremely Evil Road"...
A series of desperate and tragic films are mixed with the remembrance of gray youth and the entanglement of human nature.
Constantly "destroying" the rules of the film's routine, the film picture with blue as the background color, aggravating the decadent mood of the film characters.
"Kitano Blue" began to be famous in the world.

In addition, the violence in Kitano Takeshi's films is no longer overbearing, but has become another deep film language.
As we all know, kitano Takeshi's violence and bloodshed are very easy to cause physical discomfort to the audience.
What an electric drill drills into the mouth, a toothbrush pokes the ear... The endless violent moves make the audience always feel frightened when they watch his movies.
"Extremely Evil and Non-Taoist"
People say this is a violent aesthetic that belongs to Takeshi Kitano exclusively, but Takeshi Kitano scoffs at this statement.
"Real violence is painful."
In his films, the sound of bullets being loaded must be real gunshots.
He wants the audience to truly feel the pain and fear of violence, not deliberately beautifying.
However, art is a different kind of thing, some people appreciate his violence, and naturally some people criticize him for only knowing how to use violence.
In 1999, he made a film called Kikujiro's Summer that punched those people in the face.
Kikujiro's Summer
Giving up the cold "Kitano Blue", Kitano Takeshi used summer yellow-green to add a lot of warmth.
In the movie, he still continues to play the rogue, but this time he mixed up a little cute.
Take the right man to find his mother, and fight along the way.
In the journey, I harvested the heart of a child that had long been lost, and the face that did not smile finally revealed a silly smile.
Violence and warmth, blood and peace.
The opposing film tones are all perfectly digested by Takeshi Kitano.
Producer Masayuki Mori, who has worked with Takeshi Kitano for many years, once said:
"Takeshi Kitano's career is like a pendulum that swings left and right, swinging with great force in the direction of violent films, and then swinging with the same force in another direction of love and humor."

After the baptism of life and death, Kitano Takeshi grew.
The reckless courage of that year gradually turned into a tender feeling.
But this tenderness does not mean that he chooses to live the rest of his life in a stable and boring way.
As he put it: "What I fear may not be death itself, but the inability to live according to my ideals." What I'm afraid of is the kind of life that's both dull and boring."
The rebellion of the bone is still there, it is only a different form.
Takeshi Kitano no longer set limits on his life, and in addition to movies and manga performances, he began to expand in other directions.
He picked up the paintbrush in his left hand and used absurd brushstrokes to outline the whimsical ideas in his mind.

He even expanded his paintings abroad.
In 2010, he held a solo exhibition "Beat Takeshi Kitano" at the Cartier Center in Paris.
One of the "self-deprecating trilogies" is the film Achilles and the Turtle, more than a hundred paintings, all of which are works by Takeshi Kitano himself
At the age of 62, he founded the funny magazine "FAMOSO", which sold 180,000 copies on the day of its release.

At the age of 71, he founded his own personal fashion brand, Kitanooblue.
Kitanoblue means "Kitano Blue"
He has always been said to be a straight man of steel, and he also wrote a pure love novel "Back to Simplicity".
"Even if it's a cruel, painful experience, as long as it makes me taste alive, it's a kind of happiness."
Takeshi Kitano lived a different life.
Flamboyant but not frivolous, brilliant but not intense.
Not only does he live a transparent life, Kitano Takeshi wants to turn his half-life experience into a kind of strength to inspire more people.
Takeshi Kitano used his talent for mania to utter earth-shattering remarks that no one else dared to say with an unobstructed mouth.
For example, the most classic sentence - "3D movies are only suitable for making A-movies"
Or in the face of reporters: "Some people think that the audience will imitate the violent plot of your movie and have a negative impact on real life, what do you think about this?" ”
Takeshi Kitano counterattacked: "Now the market is full of touching stories and chicken soup for the soul, and I have not seen society get better!" ”
At the same time, the needle is not soft at all.
Last year, Takeshi Kitano stood in front of the director of TV Tokyo and recited the commendation order, which was ironic and made people laugh.
Of course, this mouth also brought him a lot of misunderstandings.
He once said bluntly, "I hate animation, and the one I hate most is Miyazaki." (Rumor has it that Because Miyazaki always robbed him of the royal composer Hisaishi Jean)
The soundtrack for the film Hanabi
As soon as this sentence was released, it caused strong dissatisfaction among Miyazaki fans.
The media even more out of chapter uprising, setting off the atmosphere of sword fighting.
For a time, Kitano Takeshi became the target of everyone.
However, few people notice the first half of Kitano's takeshi.
In fact, he is warning young directors that what they are not accustomed to and cannot tolerate is not okay.
Takeshi Kitano does not appreciate Miyazaki, but that does not mean that he rejects or even resists all of Miyazaki's works.
Creation should be diverse, and films should be treated with an inclusive mindset.
This is Kitano Takeshi's advice to a new generation of directors.
Takeshi Kitano's concern for the younger generation doesn't stop there.
He found that young people at present do not have lofty ideals, are too much to get by, and lose the vitality that young people should have.
So, he specially shot advertisements, using violent words to stir up the enthusiasm of young people.
Takeshi Kitano's inspirational advertisement for preventive medicine aims to inspire young people to cheer up
"The bad words of the standard are full of wisdom, and everyone will understand it as soon as they hear it"
Kitano Takeshi's words are not only very pleasant, but also always directly hit the main points of things and arouse people's thinking.
Because of this, the Japanese people have great trust in Kitano Takeshi.
In 2011, the earthquake in Japan and the apocalyptic panic that pervaded the whole of Japan made the people feel deeply uneasy.
A media outlet launched an investigation into "who is most assured of handing over the country?"
As a result, Kitano Takeshi defeated all the politicians and merchants and came first.
The Great Japan Earthquake refers to a powerful earthquake that occurred at 14:46 on March 11, 2011 in the Pacific Ocean in northeastern Japan. The magnitude of the earthquake reached 9.0, the fifth largest earthquake in history. The huge tsunami caused by the earthquake caused devastating damage to Iwate, Miyagi, Fukushima and other places in northeastern Japan, and triggered a nuclear leak at the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant.
This result seems unexpected, but it is reasonable.
Takeshi Kitano's courageous attitude towards a bleak life has infected too many people.
As Gao Xiaosong said: "He is real, and I think the power brought by real things is irreplaceable." ”
Looking back at the 72 years of life path, Kitano Takeshi's life, anyone who listens to it, can't help but exclaim - value!
He has done all kinds of absurd things, and he has said all kinds of arrogant things.
He used the art of cinema to inspire Japanese cinema toward revival, and used his tongue to encourage the confused people of the world.
Even after experiencing all kinds of difficulties in life, he would still laugh and say:
"Although it is hard, I will still choose a hot life."
