There is a saying in the "Romance of the Three Kingdoms": "Success or failure turn to the sky, the green mountains are still there, and the sunset is red several times." The great events of the world will be divided for a long time, and they will be united for a long time. This is the basic law of human society. No one can be above them. Exists outside of these laws.
What is the impression of "New York Gangster"? First of all, it is an epic story, if the appearance of "The Godfather" makes everyone feel reasonable for the existence of gangsters, or has a sense of awe for such a group of people, then this film will wear away this feeling to a certain extent.
A gangster is a gangster, and even a gentlemanly gangster like Marlon has not changed at all. Bai Zhantang in "The Tale of Wulin" once said such a sentence: "What is a thief is also a way, and a thief is a thief." The same applies to this film. For high society, gangsters are gangsters, and there is no underground order at all. If you want to eradicate you. There are methods.
Of course, this awareness is based on a high-level foundation. For war, gangsters are not worth mentioning at all. At the last moment, when the cannon of the jianchuan came, what butcher, what dead rabbit gang, was instantly destroyed. There are no more gangsters. For New York, only the elite will never die.
This is the general trend, and if you understand this general trend, and then look at the grievances between these individuals, you will feel that they are very small. The contradiction between the butcher and Viren, the contradiction between the butcher and Viren's father, is not actually a contradiction. They are just pawns in the struggle between the powerful, and no one can survive in this chaotic era for a long time. Even a butcher who can control the life and death of many people still has no resistance under the crushing pressure of absolute power.
It was originally a story similar to Hamlet's, but it ended up giving a lot of educational significance. Viren witnessed his father being killed by his enemies. I have been surrounded by hatred since childhood. The seeds of revenge are constantly taking root. And with hatred, he lived strongly. Then step by step into your enemies.
The road to revenge is beautiful, and it may be hard, but for Viren everything is like a well-written script. He was very smooth before he was betrayed by a good partner. Through a variety of means, approach the butcher, and then gradually gain the trust of the butcher. After this, at any time of retirement, he became closer and closer to his father-killer.
But anything is going to be unexpected. A person who bears a deep vengeance in the sea of blood should not be involved in his own revenge. Willen's path to revenge is ultimately imprisoned by his children's private affairs. Jenny's appearance makes Viren chaotic. In fact, this description is a bit overheated, but it is true that the road that should have been smooth began to have twists and turns.
And the antagonism between good friends is often due to emotional entanglement. Imagine if Jenny hadn't stirred up the existence of Viren and the Butcher, then Veren would have been king at that party.
But that's how it all happened. And Viren, who almost died here, ushered in his own phoenix nirvana. After waking up, Viren is determined to get revenge on the butcher in another way. He quickly co-opted a gang and used the power staff to maneuver with the butcher's local gang. But the butcher did not discover, and he still used brutal methods to fight against class rights. And so came a massacre.
When a gang wants to challenge the authority of the class, the relationship that seemed unbreakable before suddenly falls to the freezing point. The new York City cops were timid before. But when the gangs began to insult the police in this way. The policemen, who had seemed harmless, began an unprecedented massacre.
For the gangs, it was a bloodbath, and they would lose a lot of brothers as a result. But for the police, the fallen "citizens" are nothing more than some votes lost in future elections. Their presence or absence does not matter. Because as the film says, the vote is certain, and statistics is another argument.
Confronting the course of history is a fool's errand for anyone. If you look at this story aside from the course of history, there may be some shadow of martial arts in it, after all, the story of revenge since ancient times is worthy of praise. But this story clearly can't avoid the diachronic. When war comes, any needless resistance or insurrection is not worth mentioning. After all, in the face of mankind's largest slaughter machine, the individual is nothing more than a cold number to him.
