The underworld in Japan is a very special group, how special it is. Some people will say that the underworld in Japan is maintaining the existing social order in Japan, where the police can't reach the underworld, but the police can't reach the area, The underworld can do the same. Some people even shape the underworld in Japan into a symbol of justice under certain conditions. This symbol represents the expectations of some people for the underworld group, and it also represents the selfish desires of some people.
The film I recommend to you today tells the stories of members of the Japanese underworld. The protagonist of "The Graveyard of Benevolence" is Ishikawa Riki, a man who has been looking forward to becoming a member of the underworld since he was a child. After becoming a member, things did not develop in the direction he liked. For Ishikawa Lifu, his dream was realized, but for Ishikawa Lifu's ambition, it did not match.
The gangsters just regarded Ishikawa as a tool man. During the period of his shouting and killing, he did not get the status he deserved. Lifu is gradually not being reused. Later, everything changed. Ishikawa finally decided to reinvent himself. He aimed at the Chinese gang in Japan. This group does not enjoy any power in Japanese society after World War II . Therefore, Ishikawa will target After aiming at it, he started. The Chinese gang was quickly vulnerable, and Ishikawa Lifu quickly formed a sub-force of his own.
However, this film does not turn Ishikawa's "record" into a brilliant, positive biographical work that can be admired. On the contrary, the whole process is very sudden from Ishikawa's prosperity to his final failure and suicide . Therefore, as a work that traces the growth trajectory of Ishikawa, this film has a topic.
After Ishikawa Lifu died, the word benevolence was engraved on his tombstone. For Lifu Ishikawa, no one knows what these two words represent. For a member of the underworld, benevolence can be said to be a lifetime Pursuit, but what does this pursuit mean to a person like Ishikawa Rifle?
This film finally shows us the growth trajectory of the second half of Ishikawa's life through the development of this word. This trajectory is indeed legendary enough for him. Ishikawa Lifu himself is a gang member, but he was not reused in the original gang. When Ishikawa Lifu was reused, his momentum did not last long. This is his experience of joining a gangster society, and besides, he is a drug addict.
Keiko, the woman she met because of drug addiction, was a watershed in Ishikawa's life. Before meeting Keiko, Ishikawa lived in a daze, and even lost his life almost completely. However, after getting to know Keiko, Ishikawa returned to life. once. Even if the life after that was drifting with the wind, at least he stood in front of his former friends again as a challenger, and won himself respect.
However, the story after that was not very enthusiastic, and many things that Ishikawa lost did not come back. After being beaten by the crowd, he was finally arrested, and Ishikawa's life trajectory was finally fixed in prison.
The film opens in a frenzied fashion that ultimately sets the story on destruction, and what Ishikawa has been looking for all his life has never been found, and impossible to find. When I was a child, I looked forward to joining the underworld, and finally ended my life as a gang talker. Rifle Ishikawa is crazy, but what's the use of this madness? After all, the madness of a lifetime is nothing but a dream.
Of course, when we don't feel very deep about this film, we might as well bring into a background of the times, that is, the new wave. This film is a representative piece of Japanese New Wave movies. This film seems to describe the life of the rebel Ishikawa Riki, but it actually describes a kind of struggle. The essence of the new wave is to bring forth the new, which will inevitably lead to the obstruction of the old and the rise of the new. And the Ishikawa Lifu in this film just has this attribute.
Even if Ishikawa is a fool, even if his life is not too much to describe, but Ishikawa's own spirit of resistance and a kind of resistance to the old forces are exactly what the creator advocates. But after this kind of admiration, it was deeply regrettable. The ending of Lifu Ishikawa is just like the ending of the New Wave. More often, Lifu Ishikawa did not completely change the century-old pattern of Japanese gangs, and at the same time, his influence on the gangs at that time was limited after all.
This is as consistent as the New Wave's impact on the subsequent film industry. The New Wave was great and produced a bunch of great creators, but after that? This wave of innovation has not continued well, so that today's film-related interest groups have developed and strengthened the original conservative forces, and have a natural resistance to the new forces. Since then, innovation has gradually slowed down. Film and television production is also stagnant. For the audience, this may be the greatest significance of "The Graveyard of Renyi".
