      Brilliant or lonely, I have existed

      #大虎# Dao makes the best of the splendor and desolation of life, destroys it at the most splendid time, and does not even give you a small flower that symbolizes reincarnation and hope.

      You know, the most terrifying thing is that there are no enemies, there is no mistake, hunters can only hunt to support their families in troubled times, young people must face the world, adults have to prove themselves, and even the colonial Japanese soldiers seem to be unable to help themselves, it...

      The best tiger

      "Big Tiger", as the name suggests, the protagonist is the most skilled North Korean tiger king in the history of the film. His acting skills are comparable to that of the best actor in "Dawn of the Planet of the Apes" - Caesar. Of course, it was created with CG special effects. A new height of Korean CG special effects. This tiger is partnered by South Korean national treasure actor Choi Min-sik. His...

      What is this movie trying to tell us? (It's just a movie, it doesn't make sense at all)

      It is written in the front
      that the male protagonist and his son live in a log cabin on the mountain (the tiger and its children live in a cave on the top of the mountain).
      One day, the male protagonist got up and boiled water. At this time, his son also got up and took out a small jj to the mountain stream. The male protagonist said, why don't you go to the kennel, and the son said, I am in a hurry. Then the male protagonist said, "The water is boiled, let's wash it later!" This is...

      fate

      There are two lines in the film. The Japanese army was very bloody that day, and it was very simple. Not much to say! Just talk about a line between Da Cui and Hu. They lost their families and their homes were also invaded. The difference was that one was a beast and the other was a hunter, each with his own destiny! So I don't agree with the statement that hunters are unkind and shouldn't kill tigers in the end! The hunter spared the tiger's life twice, the first time he injured his mother...

      The main theme is unwilling to admit defeat, satirizing the bones

      Although it is against the instinct of animals to not run away in the face of gunpowder, the film is not just about people and nature, it alludes to the Korean nation's unyielding spirit. The irony is that there is only one tiger who resists to the end, even Cui Uncle also just retreats into the mountains and forests, and does not care about world affairs, which symbolizes the majority of people who are kind and peaceful, while the Japanese officer Yangtian Changxiao is difficult to conquer...

      There are so many comments about the special effects and the plot, but few people talk about the admiration for nature in the film and the resonance of the absence of the country at that time! The only appearance of the word "China" in the film is the hunting ground of Neon...

      Why kill them...

    • By Melisa 2023-08-20 07:45:41

      I thought it was the Korean version of "Dersu Uzala", but it turned out to be a historical film. Taking the tiger out of the human emotions, and taking the human out of the tiger's wildness, it has a high level of commercial maturity. When it comes to the shot scheduling and background soundtrack of the action scenes, the top group in Korean movies is no less. Hollywood made...

      Cui Minzhi is an old drama bone. Hundreds of people are holding guns to simply beat a tiger. So many people are used. What's the matter? Add one star for Choi Min-sik, the movie is...

    Behind the scenes gags

    The film is the third collaboration between director Hoon-jung Park and actor CHOI MIN SIK after the films "Saw the Devil" and "New World".
    CHOI MIN SIK said that the film was shot in the mountains, which can absorb the essence of the mountains and make people feel good   .
    CHOI MIN SIK not only focused on his own acting skills on the set, but also acted as an acting teacher to guide the acting skills of the younger generation, and gave...

    Evaluation action

    "The Tiger", one of the most important characters in "The Tiger", is created with CG effects. The entire film must be filmed by the hero CHOI MIN SIK's self-imagination, which is quite a test of the actor's acting skills. However, after the film came out, it was well received, and even the children praised it as very interesting. They thought CHOI MIN SIK was a hero, while the adult audience pointed out that the film was a master level...
