Recently, I finished watching Takeshi Kitano's classic gangster film "Extremely Evil".
After watching this movie, I was very excited.
I really like this movie so much.
The English name of this movie is "The Outrage", the Chinese is called "All The Evil Officers", and it is also called "Extremely Evil" Outrage, which is an English term that has the meaning of anger.
Being a verb has the meaning of violence against whom.
The film is very topical, and all the characters in the movie are either angry or violent to others.
Usually, we watch gangster movies, and there are always one or two good people in the movies.
At the very least, the protagonist is a good person.
At least, even if the protagonist is not a good person, he is still a good person compared to the villain.
To summarize the story of the movie "Extremely Evil":
It's a movie where Japanese gangs are jealous of each other, cannibalize, and there's no good guy in the movie. Therefore, it is called "Extremely Evil And Not Tao" and "All Evil Members".
In this movie, really everyone is a bad person, and it is a bad person.
To paraphrase Wu Jing's words: You kill me, I kill you, you don't kill me, I kill you again, I can't kill you, you come to kill me, I have to kill you. ”
Kitano Takeshi, as a funny artist, played a fierce role in the movie and really saw my little heart trembling.
Be reticent to be a fierce character! Unpleasant to dry directly.
And that position, that light, that composition, isn't it Du Qifeng?
Handsome to the point that my heart trembled again.
In this movie, it is difficult not to compare Du Qifeng's "Underworld" with it.
"Extremely Evil" was released in 2010, and "Underworld" was released in 2005.
I don't know if Takeshi Kitano has seen Du Qifeng's "Underworld".
The atmosphere in "Extremely Evil" and the story are indeed a bit similar to "Underworld". In "Underworld", it is everyone who rushes to be the boss.
In "Extremely Evil and Non-Tao", everyone is scrambling to be the leader of the group.
In "Underworld", the gangsters stand very carefully, standing and standing, and the atmosphere comes.
The position of the gang in "Extremely Evil" is also very exquisite, and when you look at it, it is rehearsed. If you don't stand like this, you can't be so handsome.
Speaking of differences, the characters in "Underworld" still like to talk, and the killing scenes are also very large.
Kill a man for five or six minutes, kill him for ten minutes.
The actors of "Extremely Evil" are a little more taciturn and a little more neat in killing.
No nonsense, one kill is dead.
Kill a person, basically two or three shots to get it done, kill this, kill the next one, without dragging mud and water, I don't know, I think these killers have KPIs.
I want kitano Takeshi to shoot Zhang Yimou's "Ten Faces Ambush", Zhang Ziyi was killed as soon as he appeared, and the movie was deleted for an hour.
There are several scenes in this movie where the fingers are cut off.
I read other film critics that Takeshi Kitano felt that gangster movies should have a painful feeling.
And the scene of cutting your fingers can really make you see that your fingers are also faintly painful.
In addition to the scene of cutting off the fingers, it seems to be very painful, and the other boss is also very painful to watch when kitano Takeshi drills his mouth.
The final killing scene in this film can be described as full of creativity and violent aesthetics.
It makes people feel sad to see, and they think that this method of killing is too romantic and too handsome.
For example, kitano Takeshi's second-in-command was caught, and the thugs first let the second-in-command sit in the car, and the second-in-command said, "If you want to kill me, kill me quickly."
The thugs said, it's okay, we'll take you on a river tour and run to the beach to blow the sea breeze. When you think that the second in command should be able to escape the disaster this time, if you want to kill it, you will kill it immediately, there is no reason to run to the beach to blow the wind.
At this time, the thug suddenly covered the head of the second hand with a black cloth, tied his neck with a rope, and then tied the other side of the rope to the road sign next to the car.
The thug motioned for the driver to drive.
The driver slammed on the accelerator, the rope tightened, and the second-hand flew out of the car with a bang, and his body was thrown onto the road, and his head was gone.
The thugs looked at the body, felt very satisfied, blew the sea breeze, slowly and leisurely walked for a while, sat in the car, and sped away.
These pictures really can't be transcribed in words, and you'd better see them for yourself.
The art of film cannot be shown in words, but must be seen with your own eyes to feel the picture, soundtrack, rhythm, and atmosphere of this movie.
Takeshi Kitano was once hailed by Akira Kurosawa, the Emperor of Japanese Cinema, as the hope of Japanese cinema. This Japanese film hopes to be 73 years old this year.
I am also a small old fan of Mr. Takeshi Kitano.
His films ranged from his debut film, The Violent Man, to The Sea of Tranquility That Summer, to Bad Boy Sky.
The themes of Kitano's films are so diverse, from gangsters to surfing, from youth invincible to fatherly love.
Mr. Takeshi Kitano has always said that he is a part-time director, and his job should be a funny artist, host and producer.
In terms of Takeshi Kitano's income composition, movies are indeed his most inconspicuous income. Takeshi Kitano's films have not been very good at the box office, and they are not even a hit in Japan. What made his films famous was never in Japan, but in Europe.
Akira Kurosawa's fame was also introduced to Japan from Europe and the United States, and Akira Kurosawa's box office that year was also miserable.
No wonder Akira Kurosawa admires Takeshi Kitano so much, the boy can, making movies doesn't make money, just like me, hehe.
There is also a director with the same fate in China, this person is called Jia Zhangke.
Kitano Takeshi's films have the fate of our Jia Zhangke and are favored by major film festivals, but they are niche literary and art films in China.
This may also be one of the reasons why Kitano Takeshi Studio invested in Jia Zhangke's films.
To tell the truth, Takeshi Kitano's movies need to be calmed down and watched slowly.
Impetuous in his heart, trying to find a popcorn to kill time, Kitano Takeshi's movie is very inappropriate.
Every time I watch Takeshi Kitano's movie, I need to be full of emotions and pick it again.
Definitely not unprepared to take it.
I felt like I was going to waste the film by watching it unprepared.
I was worried that I wouldn't be able to see it.
Have you ever tried to eat and save your favorite food until the end to eat it in one go?
I'm glad I didn't stupidly go to Kitano's movie when I was younger.
If I had watched it at that time, I would certainly not have understood it, and I would certainly not have felt much.
Watch it now, watch it in the next few years, I will definitely watch Takeshi Kitano's movies at the age of fifty, and it will definitely look better.
I still have several kitano takeshi's "delicacies" that I haven't eaten yet.
It's really exciting.
