What are the ten best gangster movies?

No. 10: new world

The Korean film "New World" is one of the best gangster movies in recent ten years, but it is difficult for other movies to match it in plot design, editing and music.

Dark and bloody, full of danger, from beginning to end, every rhythm is a sense of oppression everywhere.

Every character is like being in an arena, stabbing carefully and viciously.

On the one hand, hold your breath and beware of wild animals lurking in the dark; On the one hand, sharp claws and teeth are polished to bite the throat of prey.

In this food chain, everyone is a predator and food.

Li Zhengzai's acting is so good that his expression is so well controlled that he substitutes the audience into the plot. Ding Qing's last words: Brother, you look tired, so you are crying! He finally left the file to Li, letting him choose to be an undercover or a triad boss. Sure enough, there is only one difference between a policeman and a gangster. When the righteous party has done too many dirty things, it can only let the good people go to the underworld. Who can God forgive? God won't deceive me, a new world has begun! ! !

No 9: All Evil

When it comes to Japanese gangster movies, the first figure that comes to mind is Kitano Takeshi, a master of violent aesthetics. As we all know, Kitano Takeshi has a deep friendship with the head of the Japanese gangster Inagawa Association, but he cut off all contact with the gang in 2005. Later, he expressed his dissatisfaction with Japanese gangs with "extremely evil".

There are no good people in the movie "Evil is invincible", which is deliberately arranged by the director, but it is not artificial in performance. The story is linear and there is not much suspense. What is attractive is that the gangs are fighting for food on the edge of the cliff, and whoever is ruthless can survive.

Gangs are unreasonable. In order to annex territory, they resorted to fishing and other despicable means. In the dictionary of gangsters, there is no such word as shame. This is Kitano Takeshi's gangster world, extremely cold, extremely real, extremely evil and chilling.

Eighth place: black gold

This film, which confronts the political darkness and black-and-white collusion in Taiwan Province Province, tends to attack social order while preaching. Its description of justice is so weak, but Tony Leung Ka Fai's gangster role is unbearable. He is ferocious and chilling, arrogant and shameful, domineering and unstoppable, and the ending is usually very sad.

7 th place: lame Hao

199 1 This year, Hong Kong has this arrogant, ferocious and hearty film, which has to be said to be amazing!

The film records the legendary life of Wu Xihao, once the most powerful gangster in Hong Kong.

The rise and fall of Lame reflects the present situation of Chinese mainland and Hongkong, and also truly reflects the situation of a great era. Lv Liangwei's heroic spirit, car-scrapping and even domineering are very scary. At the moment of expansion, looking back at the gathering and dispersion of opponents, cronies, wives and children, I feel a little emotional.

At the 1992 Hong Kong Film Awards, the judges of the Hong Kong Film Awards were moved by the strong personal style and indomitable spirit of the film itself.

Lame Hao beat Andy Lau's Biography of the 500 Million Detective Mayor and Chow Yun Fat and Leslie Cheung's Across the Sea in one fell swoop and won the 1 1 Hong Kong Film Award for Best Film!

Sixth place: underworld

Du Qifeng's "Gangdom" describes the gangster, and depicts the ukiyo-e painting under the interests of the rivers and lakes from a larger pattern. Compared with the previous personal grievances, the rivers and lakes are ups and downs, and they are quick.

From a big perspective, he pays more attention to the bloody events in the Jianghu world than the descriptions of people by the Jianghu brothers before. People in the Jianghu can't help themselves. In order to protect themselves, they either kill each other or lead their necks to be slaughtered.

At the beginning of the story, the triad election is the background. As we all know, politicians can kick down the ladder by hook or by crook for election, but after all, in the sun, the underworld has always had its own survival rules, and the hidden box in the gray area has applied all means to the extreme.

Fifth: gunfire

This is a film that will never get tired of watching many times, and it is also the most coquettish and beautiful film of Lao Du so far. There are not many lines in male drama. After five people appeared, they explained the background of the story, and then met in the conference room to explain the relationship between the five people. At this point, we can see that Roy Cheung is a spy of the Jianghu boss, and they are all gods.

These five people are equally divided. It is also this movie that made me understand the classic standing posture. These five people are not gangsters and pimps, but real killers. They hold guns, others' lives and deaths, and their own.

Wu Zhenyu and Huang Qiusheng, two actors, kill people with their eyes, and their music is also classic. All the elements make up a classic, and I have watched The Third Prenatal more than ten times in Hong Kong.

Fifth place: Boys

This is a maverick gangster documentary.

Unlike Coppola's Godfather, Scorsese's film Good Companion is not romantic at all, nor is it epic at all. With the self-narration of an ordinary mafia member, he described the crime and muddling along of mafia gangsters without exaggeration.

Scorsese didn't analyze Italian mafia members from historical, cultural, social and political perspectives like Coppola. Scorsese thinks that the Italian mafia in new york is a bunch of bastards. They don't have a clear goal in life, so they don't need to make a deeper analysis. Just show it to him truthfully.

Fourth place: Reservoir Dogs.

1992, quentin tarantino's debut "Reservoir Dogs" premiered at Sundance Film Festival, which immediately caused great repercussions. Quentin's talent as a director has been unanimously favored by the judges, and the violence in the film has also become the focus of discussion.

After watching this movie, the intuitive feeling is cool, completely different. Of course, the most valuable thing about movies is the shocking scenes. Mr. orange fell in a pool of blood, Mr. Jin abused the police, and finally the three threatened each other. The gunfire rang, reminding me of the classic scene of the Golden Three Escorters.

In addition, although the language of the character is vulgar, it sounds natural, because it conforms to the character of the character and makes me think again. Only a director who faces sex and violence can make a real and wonderful film.

Third place: City of God

In the city of God, everything has its own rules. Life is a gamble, and living is an accident.

The jungle law of bloody violence has become the air to breathe. As long as you live in this slum, everyone can't be lonely. Everyone has been or may be a part of the dark world.

Sadly, even those who kill people like hemp, the director not only writes about their "evil", but also points out their "pure" and "good" side. To tell the truth, those people are still children, eager to get a beautiful camera, annoyed that they can't catch up with their girlfriends because they are ugly, and angry that their behavior has not been taken seriously by the people around them.

In such a city, their experience of drugs, guns and death exceeds their experience of study, work and family. They can't tell good from evil, or they are willing to be evil, just because no one has taught them the basic concepts of good and evil.

Besides, the world they live in is not a safe world where good people can live in peace. Many opportunities for a better life are closed to them, and they can't get more except becoming stronger and more cruel.

Second: Once upon a time in America.

If the epic "Godfather Trilogy" tells the story of blood and tears of gangsters, then "Once upon a time in America" is like a documentary recording the struggle career of a group of gangsters.

Someone once summed up the theme of "Once upon a time in America": "This film combines childhood friendship, love, loss, greed, violence, the passage of time, the breakdown of relations, the former American criminal gangs and so on." Of all the themes described here, except the last one, obviously, all the other themes are directed at the heart of the characters.

As a film of nearly four hours, it does have some remarkable features of so-called "monologue" novels. It weaves the personalities and personal destinies of many characters into a unified world, which is spread out layer by layer and made into a masterpiece.

Issue 1: godfather

This is a cruel gangster movie, but it is the most beautiful form. Although the film is more than three hours long, it is not boring from beginning to end, and it is still lacking in the end.

Music that soothes sadness constitutes the basic color of the film, and the conflict between human nature and interests is more explicit in the illegal organization of gangs. Marlon Brando, the godfather of Vito Don Corum, is like a gentleman, revealing romance without losing dignity and anger. The combination of characters and music gives people a beautiful enjoyment.

The appearance of the film "Godfather" gives film and television practitioners a glimpse. Although Coppola denied that he was the helm of gangster movies, gangster movies did flourish. Martin scorsese's Goodfellas and Andrew Bogman's Fresh Man both drew a lot of nutrition from the Godfather series, and the success of the TV series sopranos extended the gangster type to the TV industry. Today's film and television works, from lines to plots, from photography to music, are full of various tributes to the godfather series.
