I think my favorite part of the movie was how deliberately unglamorous the aesthetic and direction of the movie was. Even at the cap stone moment of the movie for Frank’s accomplishments, it comes off as kitschy and no one is really enjoying themselves as it merely acts as a moment of prelude of planning for what is to come. There are no debauched celebrations (at least for Frank), the murders are violent and fast, no gloating or soliloquizing over some vanquished foe. In a meta sense, the super old actors in their earlier periods of the film emphasize the internal rot and emptiness of the mobsters, it’s like the polar opposite but consistently thematic with a kung fu movie, where the spectacle of action usually implies the drive and will of the characters, but in this sense the hollowness is emphasized with how decrepit the movement of action is.
