      Train to Busan--Frightening Disaster Movie

      In the face of disasters, human nature is more prominent, and when you think about it, you will be afraid that at that time, the person who wanted to go home with unscrupulous means eventually died, and a pregnant woman and a child survived in the end. Does this mean that there is still hope for life? Every disaster movie will always make people feel the fear of hindsight. The fear from the bottom of my heart may be about the unknown, or maybe it is about human nature. I don’t know what we...

      The Landscape of Movies - An In-depth Analysis of "Train to Busan": Korean Movies, Genre Movies, and Miscellaneous Talks

      My love for Korean movies started with a disaster film "The Monster of the Han River". At that time, I just started to become interested in movies, and I vaguely understood the political metaphors implied in the film. After that, I fell in love with Feng Junhao and Song Kanghao, and then Cui Minzhi, Ha Jung-woo, Park Chan-wook, Won Bin, Jun Ji-hyun, Cha Tae-hyun, Lim Kwon-taek, and Kang Di-kyu, so far my favorite is still the director Kim Ki-duk's "Spring and Winter Comes", which was...

      The power of the navy is powerful

      In my eyes, this movie is not just overrated, it's simply a deer.
              Obviously an ordinary film, but it has been abruptly given so many names, and it also mocked domestic films accordingly. Simply unbearable.
              Korean movies have his level, melting pot, no makeup, and memories of murder are a rare good movie, but this movie is definitely not the best in Asia, and there are also a lot of domestic votes that can achieve the level. .
              On the contrary, I think that...

      A typical painted tiger is not a transgender dog

      In the film of picking up people's teeth and filth, the West invented a zombie, and the Koreans also went to re-enact one, but it is not one like a half-baked person. Which biochemical company would invent this kind of weapon, throwing it into a city would lose its value, you have to clean it and just use a nuclear bomb. The director also set up a zombie that can only listen to and have no sense of smell. The door handle of the car can't be opened, so too many details are distorted. This movie...

      After the visit to Busan

      After watching "Train to Busan" very calmly, the biggest feeling
      is not the thrill of the zombies;
      it is not the touching tears of those sensational pictures;
      nor the amazement of the dualism of human nature good and evil that the audience is most fond of; It is admiration for the director's portrayal of incompetence and vulnerability in the face of disaster.
      This kind of characterization is actually very difficult. If you are not careful, it will become a laughing stock...

      Seriously talk about some feelings, 1. The shooting is really good, and it is more comprehensive. 2. How do Korean zombies run so fast. 3. The only scene where I was frightened was when I suddenly saw a zombie that looked like Deng Chao, which made me shiver. 4. Why do zombies have to bite people? They can also tear off Gong Yoo's...

      High-speed rail road film, bite people can't stop. Knowing that there is corruption in the mountain, I prefer to travel to Busan. The elites are more at fault, and the righteous and the common people make up for it. Han Ying is a lot of sensationalism, but after all, the production is...

      3.75 points. Inside the frame, no sparks, no faults. At the end, for the sake of sensationalism, regardless of logic, points will be deducted. Not to mention the army that has seen countless zombies, it is impossible to tell whether it is even a zombie-like walking posture. Is it so difficult to shout "Are you zombies or normal...

      The group performance has directly improved the combat effectiveness of the old American zombies by N levels, and added the skill of tearing zombies by hand without a headshot. (Every disaster movie has to have a character that makes the audience grit their teeth and live until three-quarters of the way through the...

      Han Ying has always been a good player in dissecting human nature and sensationalism. The newly added zombie element also adds a lot to the tense rhythm and terrifying atmosphere. In general, it is a good commercial...

    Evaluation action

    The movie viewing journey of "Travel in Busan" seems to go hand in hand with the cruel speeding train. Judging from the fables of class counterattack and morality, "Travel to Busan" is as sharp as Bong Joon-ho in the dystopian science fiction film "Snow Country Train", and at the same time it is more simple and fun ("Variety" review)   .
    The film contains many obvious truths, and it is these straightforward messages that leave the...
