Endless fights
15 May 2019
In the film Crows Zero, Genji Takiya (Shun Oguri), a child from the yakuza boss, moves to Suzuran High School, which is known as a school whose student's main activities are fighting and brawl. This is evident because from the beginning to the end of the film, there is no teaching and learning process that is seen even though they are all high school students and the settings are usually in school. Crows Zero is one of the films that is praised because it can bring a distinctive 'thug' atmosphere because it always has a setting that is tarnished with graffiti and seems slum. Returning to the plot problem, Genji has the goal of becoming number 1 fighter at Suzuran because if he succeeds, his father (the Yakuza boss) will inherit the entire Yakuza organization to him.

Unfortunately, Suzuran is divided into several gangs - gangs who each have bosses who are good at fighting. One of the biggest gangs is Serizawa Army led by Tamao Serizawa (Takayuki Yamada). With the help of a fake yakuza member, Ken Katagiri (Kyosuke Yabe), Genji brings together several gangs belonging to him called GPS (Genji's Perfect Seiha) Army and of course finds himself fighting trial after trial to become number 1 at Suzuran.

This film is not a family-friendly type, there are curses in almost every dialogue and most characters have a rude nature, love violence and can not be separated from cigarettes and alcohol. If you want a quick way to turn a bunch of middle or high school boys into thugs, just set this film. Even though it is famous as a film whose content is only brawl, there is actually a story that has good flow. The actors also live the role of a delinquent with a typical face of a bad boy. Editing sounds are sometimes less subtle, but the rock and punk soundtracks that are owned are enough to leave a deep mark on the inside because they are accompanied by good editing. Given the large number of people who hit each other, the punch effect was perfectly inserted.

If you are the type who likes action movies and likes anime, I would recommend this film. With some typical shounen manga scenes, opening a typical anime with the same soundtrack, and unforgettable characters, Crows Zero is a type of live action from a heavy successful manga.
