sonatine be the last film in takeshi kitano yakuza related trilogy . the first two film be violent cop and boiling point . sonatine be and in a way and a combination of these two film and and it be the great in this outstanding trilogy and and sonatine rank also to the top in kitano filmography with hana bi . sonatine tell the story of middle age yakuza bos murakawa ( play by kitano ) and his gang trip to okinawa to settle some yakuza war and return the peace to the criminal underworld of japan . however and they be assault many time there and they be force to go to beautiful beach location and spend some day there and wait for order from tokyo and from the high yakuza authority . what follow be all the unique element from both violent cop and boiling point and totally stunning and breath takingly beautiful piece of art . there be all the kitano element a beautifully present a possible . the scene be often without too much dialogue and and the film be very symbolical and calm . the face be among the most important element in kitano film and a there be so many thing to be read from character face . kitano have create this very personal element and it be always there in his film . the setting at the naturally beautiful and uncorrupted seaside have be capture with the camera as brilliantly a we can expect from kitano while this film be a result that would be bear if kitano have script in which read only one word represent beauty . similarly beautiful film be his hana bi and boiling point have also these element . the element of beauty among others be flower and firecracker and color in general . the scene at the beach a the gangster play and have fun be so full of life and certain positivism and it be easy to feel a need for cry during those scene and and i must say that at least equally powerful experience be the mentioned hana bi and translate to firework in english . the theme of sonatine be that those brutal and violent human return to the time when they be still innocent and free of all the wickedness of the world . they play so emotionally and devotedly that it be clear they know there be a good place to be than this world . the girl that be rap be perhaps only person in the film who would not hurt anyone and be like angel here . she know and have learn many thing about life by the end scene and and make sure you watch the film thoroughly and the end credit and too and a there be more imagery after the credit . the music in sonatine be outstandingly beautiful and sad and and be among the great musical experience i have have the pleasure of hearing . the composer be the same a in brother and hana bi and and the work be as masterful in those more recent film and too . violence in sonatine be a sudden and irrevocable a in other kitano film and and his film really show the real result and face of violence a a weak souls tool of communicate . if someone considers kitano film gratuitously violent and they miss the whole point of the film while these film analyze and tell more about violence than most hollywood film have ever do and but to admit this and one have to be able to interpret movie and really understand the ability and power of cinema . kitano film be far too difficult for many to understand and so it be no use try to show his film to mainstream audience and people who see ( if see . ) in film only what be explain and say with easy mean . if someone say without argument or understand to this art form some kitano film be bad and stupid and gratuitously and excessively violent and unexplained or something else of the usual statement and it be no use take those opinion seriously or consider them noteworthy because people who say so see exactly thing that be not there . sonatine be one of kitano most masterful piece of cinema and and be among the reason why japanese ( and orient ) cinema be so unique . sonatine get positive rating from me and and make takeshi kitano one of the most sensitive and symbolic and stylish in every sense and remarkable film maker of our time and and his film will live a important piece of history of japanese and world cinema .
