      Burning is conscience and humanity

      The movie is called the melting pot, and it is not just about the people in this school. The local education department, the welfare department, the police station, and the procuratorate are all part of the melting pot. Even Professor Kim, who is far away in Seoul, has added one to the furnace. fire.

      You can't imagine that human beings can be more terrifying than the devil. Well-dressed people persecute these disabled children under the guise of charity.

      Teenagers were originally...

      The world is so perfect

      No matter in any movie, the victory of justice over evil will always be the mainstream, the powerful, political and businessmen, all those who attack the law will be punished by the law. But in this film, there is nothing, there are only the insignificant shouts of teachers and victims living at the bottom of society, but even so, it makes the film seem more real.

      A 9-year-old student, who doesn't understand anything, has to go through a life that is more terrifying than an adult....

      Remembered by Alyosha

      In the past few days, the news of Alyosha from Beiying has attracted everyone's attention. Thinking of the shock of watching the melting pot, I accidentally clicked on this movie because I liked Kong Yoo very much. The atmosphere of the whole movie at the beginning made me depressed. When I saw the male protagonist go to school, the whole atmosphere was even more frightening. After a series of events, the male protagonist did not choose to remain silent, which moved me. Many things are...

      Revisiting "The Furnace" After Three Colors

      The hell is empty, the devil is in the world, I remember Mr. Lu Xun's words - save the children... After the red, yellow and blue incident, I revisited it, and I was still out of breath. I hope that China will have a different ending from the movie. , I hope that our country can also come up with a targeted legal document like the Korean government. I hope there are many more, but after all, there is one core - please give children a beautiful and bright life. In the past, my sympathy and...

      furnace

      A film that changed the laws of Korea, an example of how media influences the law. Some people say that the media's public opinion trial is an insult to the authority of the law, but what if there is no public opinion supervision? Look at the disabled and vulnerable children in the film. Besides resorting to the media, what channels can they expect to seek justice? The principal and others can sexually assault them recklessly, but the law does not give them the protection they deserve. What...

      I saw the Nortel sexual assault incident yesterday, and I thought of the melting pot, and I just wanted to watch it all the time. I fell asleep with a heavy heart when I saw it in the middle of the morning, and actually dreamed that the older child in the movie was bullying the younger child. Dreaming back in the morning, I hate myself. Maybe I'm a coward in my...

      You hate corrupt officials and want to be a civil servant. You sneer at the unhealthy style, and you work on the relationship. You hate being rich, but you dream of getting rich overnight. You hate the mistress, but you also hope that the beautiful woman will embrace her. Life is so helpless, I sigh that the world is unfair. Not to mention the rapidity of the water, just hope that the boat will have a smooth wind. One side of the people feeds the other side of the...
