1. "The Promise of the East"
Russian culture is also a hardcore treasure worth prying for. Cronenberg's most synthetic work, if he grasps the law of "body as evidence" from genre films, is forcefully injected into the surface of melodrama, and the interior of this violent history of pedigree theory is full of faltering pain: the life of imitation unfolds with a real body, and in Mortensen, we see a tragic crystallization wrapped in prostheses such as language, clothing, and skin.
2, "Jerusalem"
Poverty, disorder, chaos, squalor, depravity, sin everywhere. Shocking. Like many children at the time, the teenager bought gadgets on the train early to support his family, until he applied to a university without a scholarship. The second half of the period is getting better. The protagonist worships Al Capone, so he probably hasn't heard of the story of "Shuibo Liangshan", and the ending is comfortable.
3, "Kill This Irishman"
The second half of this is powerful, barbaric and chaotic and retributive. The main character, the Irish-type man, fights the world with his fists. In the 70s, Cleveland gang disputes and assassinations were common, car bombs were common, and there was news when the house was smashed and shattered, and the male protagonist appointed himself as a Celtic warrior was killed one by one after his partners were killed one by one, and triggered a chain effect of the collapse of the gangs in the area.
4, "The Prophet"
The compact hand-held is paired with a few unrealistic fragments, and the icing on the cake achieves a high degree of realism. Guided by both the living and the dead, Malik is forced to walk from the position of a marginal person to the center of the field, and the only thing he has no control over is his own fate. The title of the film is really ironic. The only thing the so-called "prophets" can predict is that they have no control over their future.
5, "Gangster Gang"
The film is full of hard violence, with gangs killing between gangs and then killing within themselves. When he was imprisoned for three years, the situation changed, and his men set up another hill and beat him to death in the back. Killer Frank is more independent, takes money to work, and also runs through the whole play as a main line, starting calmly and neatly.
6, "Gangs of Lyon"
Unlike other traditional gangster movies, the film does not have a large time span, and there are no fierce battle scenes, but more to create the whole atmosphere through the expressions and dialogues between several old men, supplemented by continuous interludes and flashbacks to trace back to the root and explain cause and effect. The elderly Morty is the highlight of the whole film, and the real people don't talk much, which is what a gang leader who has really experienced the wind and waves should look like.
