      anti-nuclear with fear

      This is an anti-nuclear propaganda film: "Pandora". Nuclear power plants are the use of nuclear energy to generate electricity and are an effective way to peacefully use nuclear energy. However, nothing can be absolutely intact, and it is impossible to be foolproof. Therefore, concerns about the safety of nuclear power plants are estimated to be the concerns of many people. If I haven't watched "Pandora", my knowledge of nuclear power plants is limited to Fukushima in Japan and the Chernobyl...

      A small change in the dialogue of the last crying scene

      The emotional drive is very good. In the end, the male protagonist cried a little too much. I felt that the male protagonist should be an arrogant person. Maybe the last words should be said: "To be honest, I don't like this incompetent government. If it is for this country, I didn't intend to sacrifice myself. In fact, you don't have to be sad or guilty. I'm just an ordinary person who doesn't want to put my family in danger! I just saved you all by the way." With a...

      I'm so speechless... I feel that there are many places that are not very understandable, and some good movies are that every place you don't understand will explain and make you understand why you do it, but this movie is inexplicable in many places, before the male protagonist Run away in a second and then run over to save someone? I'm so scared to death, but I'm too embarrassed to put someone else's collar on the collar and let them save them? There is also the above...

      very left, very nice

      The movie "Pandora" is really left. The male protagonist is cowardly, completely cowardly. However, the series of wailing whispers before his death scolded the nature of the bloody exploitation of the bourgeoisie, denied the fundamental legitimacy of the capitalist government, and exposed the hypocrisy and shamelessness of the "artificial hero" of the state machine. Just for his last few words, I give the movie full marks. It is closer to the essence of Korean social contradictions than...

      I should have been moved by giving up my life, but I hoped to avoid risks

      A president who was indecisive and incompetent at the beginning but was concerned about the people's ultimate rise to regain power and save the bad situation, and a tough second-in-command who ignored the people's livelihood and only cared about the country's hardware configuration. It seems to be often seen in Korean movies, although I also I haven't seen much Korean movies. I am someone who is extremely against self-sacrifice and fearless heroism, but I still shed tears watching this...

      I could see tears streaming down my face. After checking the map, there are three nuclear power plants nearby. I want to cry but have no...

      The foreplay is long, the plot is very protracted, and the last sensationalism was complained by many people, but I think it is much more advanced than the sensationalism in the domestic film. After all, the male protagonist was not portrayed as a lonely hero, when he sacrificed himself to save everyone. , what he said was: "Why is my life so bitter, I don't want to die like this..." I burst into tears, this is universal human...

      The script is a bit rough, all kinds of deliberate and imprecise, everything is in the routine and still too emotional, but it looks...

      It's all tricks, no surprises, there are too many inherent patterns of Korean disaster films, too sensational, the protagonist relies on roaring throughout the whole process, I'm really tired of the way the stick is screaming, the rhythm is slow, and the ending drags the scene. , the only commendable advantage is that the nuclear explosion and the leakage of the scene dispatch work is well done, the core theme of the government is straightforward enough, the false propositions used to accuse...

      What Korean movies are good at is to spare no effort to blackmail the government and the state apparatus. This film has reached an extreme. After the Suiyu incident, this is even more politically correct. It was a good movie, but it was too emotional. The second half completely dragged down the rhythm, especially the ending. Wouldn't it be better to just...

    Release process

    The production and release process of "Pandora" lasted for 4 years, which can be described as twists and turns. It not only experienced the sudden withdrawal of investment by investors; but also in the process of preparing for the release, a 5.8-magnitude earthquake occurred in Gyeongju (the largest earthquake since South Korea had meteorological observation records in 1978), because the content of the film involved the earthquake...

    Evaluation action

    The film is South Korea's first film with a nuclear power plant as its theme (Global Web Review)  . The film includes everything that a disaster film should have, such as embodying the love between families, powerless petty citizens resisting becoming smaller heroes, friendship and sacrifice, etc. These films have been done very well and earned a lot of tears from the audience. On the other hand, many viewers actually saw Director...
