The following Xiaobian has sorted out the world's top ten classic gangster movie rankings for everyone, taking you to find the unusual memories of that year.
Tenth "Promise of the East", directed by David Cronenberg, released in 2007. The film attracts the audience's attention with extremely violent and bloody scenes and naked hand-to-hand combat, and is undoubtedly an alternative American gangster movie. Of course, I think the most fascinating thing is the violent scene of muscles and plasma in the bathhouse that bursts the screen. Such a movie can definitely make men crazy and make women obsessed.
The ninth "Inferior Life" directed by Hayashi Kwon Taek, released in 2004. Telling a cruel history of Korean gangsters, it seems to be the director's summary of his life in his later years. The two contradictory emotions, on the one hand, the sharpness of social criticism, and the other side are nostalgic sorrows, conflicting with each other, like the director's love and hate feelings for that era. Nostalgia is the film's strongest emotion, and the director tries his best to truly show the history of Korea during the Korean Civil War.
The eighth [Gomorrah] directed by Matteo Galloni, released in 2008. This gangster movie, which is almost in the form of a documentary, shows the evil of Naples, a city in central Italy, almost real to the audience, and the film lens is unadorned close to the evil to show the blood, in any case, this is the most real gangster movie, where the evil is in front of you day by day.
The seventh "Hero's True Colors" is directed by Wu Yusen and released in 1986. The film takes Song Zihao, Mark, and Song Zijie as the main characters, and brings together the contradictions between brotherhood and brotherhood, reflecting their different setbacks, failures, repentances and revenge. In 1987, he won the best film and best actor awards at the 6th Hong Kong Film Awards. The 23rd Taiwan Film Golden Horse Awards Best Director Award, Actor Award, etc.
The sixth "Prison Beast", also known as "Inside and Outside the Prison", directed by Daniel Monzon, was released in 2009. The film is no longer only concerned with the darkness and disorder in the prison, but more concerned with the suppression and change of the system on people themselves. Here there is no boundary between good guys and bad guys, there is no essential difference between outside and inside prison, everything is darkness, everything is a trap. All people live in the shadow of the dark system, which is the so-called society is the gang, and the gang is the society.
The fifth [Rock Gangster] Directed by Guy Ritchie, released in 2008. No matter how Guy Ritchie's gangster movie changes, what will never change is the famous black multi-linear interlocking narrative. A few people and horses you grab me and grab a lot of characters, interspersed back and forth, coupled with Guy Rich's black humor, this is Guy Richie's movie. By the time 2008' London story had become internationalized and with the glamorous black rock, a gangster rock movie had been created.
The fourth [gangster mob] directed by Gavin Hood, released in 2005. One of the core issues discussed in the film is whether people's hearts are good or inherently evil, the director perfectly expressed the view that human nature is inherently good through the gangster story that took place in the black slum of Johannesburg, the capital of South Africa, and many film critics said that this is an epic poem about the redemption of the human heart, and friends who like movies should not miss this "noir" movie. Won the 2006 Academy Award for Best Foreign Language Film.
The third [Prophet] directed by Jacques Odia, released in 2009. The film depicts a young man who eventually moves towards the status of the godfather of the gang through personal struggle in prison through a very realistic lens language. Although the film is full of brutal prison gangster struggles, the director shows his struggle in a slightly praised and even romantic lyrical way, which is also the unique feature of French cinema that has always been different from Hollywood. That year, the Cannes Film Festival won the Grand Jury Prize and the French César Award 9 grand prizes.
The second "City of God" directed by Fernando Merrills, released in 2002. The film's sharp picture style and cruel social description made Brazilian gangster movies shock the world film industry. The director uses a group portrait film narrative to show the whole process of a group of gangster teenagers born in the slums of Rio de Janeiro from growth to destruction to the world, which undoubtedly created an epic genre of gangster movies. It won the Academy Award for Best Foreign Language Film that year and became one of the most representative works of Brazilian cinema.
The first [godfather] Francis Ford Coppola directed, released in 1972. The film is a pyramid that gangster movies can't surpass, and it's also the bible for men. In a somber and calm style, it tells a romantic gangster epic. Not only has it been a success in reviews, art and box office, but it has also set an example for future generations, with a 100 percent positive rating on authoritative film websites.
