There is a movie that is known as the Bible of Men – The Godfather!
In my opinion, this is a must-see movie for men in this life.
Don't ask me why, you'll understand it after you read it.
In fact, in the long river of film history, gangster-themed film and television works have always occupied a pivotal position.
The Godfather, The Sopranos, The Atlantic Empire, Once Upon a Time in America, The Underworld.....
In different soils, different gangster stories have been bred.
They rarely discuss good and evil, and their connotations go far beyond violence.
The Italian mafia believes in the family philosophy, the Hong Kong underworld pays attention to brotherhood, and the Mexican gangsters do nothing wrong...
However, the gangster theme is placed on the British, who have always been gentlemen, but it is a different scene:
Blood Gangster 丨 peeky blinders
Since its launch in 2013, the show has shown a unique charm.
From the first season to the present, word of mouth has been high, and there is a feeling of "The Godfather".
People like Tom Hardy, Adrian Brody, and "Littlefinger" Aidan Gillen in Game of Thrones are willing to make cameo appearances as supporting characters.
The only drawback is that there are only 6 episodes per season, which is simply not enough to watch.
As we all know, BBC is best at making documentaries.
Documentaries are based on the creation of real people and real events, and artistically process them, and show them in the way of film art.
And "Blood Gangster" happens to be the real gangster history, dating back to 1919.
Overall style, excellent historical look. The composition of the photography is simply picturesque. Wild bgm, always just right.
The story takes place after World War I and tells the story of The Peaky Blinders, a legendary gangster family in Birmingham.
In that era, the prosperity of industrial civilization masked the filth and darkness at the bottom of society.
Veterans, revolutionaries and criminals, all kinds of people gathered at the bottom to struggle to survive, and eventually became a breeding ground for evil.
So there is such a group of people, in the form of a family, huddled together for warmth, ready to go with the flow.
The Razor Party is the most legendary gangster family in British history.
The family members are uniformly dressed, duck tongue hats, delicate suits, slim coats, typical Of British style.
Therefore, it is known as the most fashionable gangster gang.
The name of the Razor Party comes from a major hobby of its members.
They like to sew razor blades into the middle of the brim of their hats, which can be used as weapons if necessary.
In this way, it is not easy to be detected, and second, when it comes to close combat, it can achieve unexpected and fatal results.
The core member of the Razor Party is the famous Shelby family in Birmingham.
The family is organized and disciplined internally, and the outside world is black and white.
The boss, Arthur Shelby (pictured right), is a man of wine and wealth and resourcefulness.
John Shelby (pictured left), the third old, is fierce and impulsive.
Sister Ida Shelby, smart and dexterous, goes her own way.
The old fourth Finn Shelby, the first season is still a child, the later scenes are more.
Aunt Polly, the family's treasurer.
He not only supervises the family business, but also advises on major and minor family matters.
At critical moments, it also acts as an emotional bond that binds family members together.
The second eldest, Tommy Shelby, has courage and strategy, can be calm and calm when encountering things, and is not in a hurry, and is the leader of the family.
Under his leadership, the Shelby family grew step by step.
The story of the first season is mainly about the origins of the Razor Party and how it started from a small gambling house and eventually became the most influential gangster in Britain.
In the second season, the Shelby family's power has spread all over the world.
Unexpectedly, in the third season, almost all the core members of the family were arrested and almost executed.
So in the fourth season, Tommy, with his extraordinary talent and charisma, successfully saved the entire family and legalized the business.
He not only cleared the obstacles ahead, but also gained a seat in politics.
The Shelby Empire, that's how it came into being!
However, as the plot progresses to the fifth season, an unprecedented crisis is quietly emerging.
On the one hand, the collapse of Wall Street securities has led to a serious contraction in the family's wealth.
Therefore, the enemies in all corners want to take this opportunity to get rid of this thorn in the eye and the thorn in the flesh.
On the other hand, the internal contradictions within the family have begun to break up invisibly, making Tommy's position precarious.
Some conspired against him, and some demonstrated to him.
Faced with internal and external troubles, Tommy felt powerless for the first time.
Is it possible that the legendary gangster family is coming to an end?
All I can tell you is that the story that follows is far more exciting than you might think.
Among them, there are many big happy plots.
In the final analysis, the growth and revitalization of the Razor Party is only a product of the background of the times.
When a new order is established, the old things are bound to be replaced by the new.
This is the inevitable law of historical development, and no one can escape this whirlpool of fate.
"Blood Gangster" tells a legendary gangster epic in a somber and calm style.
The most successful part of this drama is the portrayal of the characters.
Not only has the image of the gangster boss in the past with a face of flesh and flying, the characters in the play have become flesh and blood, both crazy and introverted.
Moreover, many violent fight scenes have been dissolved to the greatest extent, and a huge aesthetic tension has been generated from it.
It is worth mentioning that the actor who plays Tommy Shelby is Nolan's royal male supporting actor - Cyrion Murphy!
He is like the multiple personalities of Gemini, giving the audience a complex and changeable impression.
Whether it is a small or a good person, under the interpretation of this blue-eyed man, he can exude a mysterious charm.
For this reason, he is known as a "chameleon actor" in Hollywood.
In short, "Blood Gangster" takes an unusual path.
Whether it is the photography, or the soundtrack, or even the performances of the actors, they converge to form a unique texture, comparable to a Hollywood blockbuster.
There may be no blood, and there will be no gangsters!
