Except Yuanbin, everything is floating clouds

How handsome is Yuan Bin in "Uncle"? Just look at his recent awards and box office. The Best Actor at the 8th Korean Film Awards and the actor of the 47th Korea Daejong Awards. Although he was defeated at the Blue Dragon Award, some fans have long said that this year has become the "year of Yuanbin". When "Uncle" was released in South Korea, the total number of viewers reached 5.55 million, making it the top-grossing local film in 2010.
The cold-faced killer meets the pure little Lori, and the two have a relationship between their father and lover. The prototype of this story has become a classic in film history in Luc Besson's movie "This Killer Is Not So Cold". "Uncle" seems to pay tribute to the classics, but there is no copycat atmosphere, because the director firmly grasped Yuan Bin's backbone. Light up Yuan Bin's face, light up Yuan Bin's eyes! "This killer is not too cold" is a combination of Leon and Matilda, and "Uncle" is a shining arena where the pawnshop uncle Yuanbin is alone.
In addition to the main line of the story of Wei Shu and Little Lolita, the movie also adds two secondary lines, such as the unknown sad past of the cold-faced uncle and the police investigation of the powder gang. The film is more confusing and more genre. I want to give 60 points to the movie and 90 points to Won Bin. However, the reason why the uncle is so handsome is ultimately due to the movie itself. "Uncle" has a very qualified rhythm and an excellent sense of proportion, all thanks to the director's grasp. This allowed Yuan Bin to maintain the best balance between being cold, capable and gentle and cute. Neither is cold to the end, nor is it so cute and handsome.
Now that one can meet the beloved "Uncle", "Uncle" is more than half the success. Just like Monica Bellucci in "The Beautiful Legend of Sicily" carries generations of sexual fantasies, like the eternal face of Robert De Niro in "Once Upon a Time in America", their immortality is due to their role. It is a great task for the director to make the people in the movie beautiful, moving, and storytelling. As for the negative textbooks, there are too many to mention. The beauties who are all over the country and the city are not beautiful, and the brave knights are very pale. But every hair of "Uncle" Yuan Bin has drama.
The loopholes in the plot and the clichés of the story have been ignored for the time being. This is neither an accurate spy movie, nor even a grand gangster movie. When evaluating the pros and cons of a film, the intent of the director is an important reference indicator. Except Yuan Bin, everything is floating clouds. The little girl is Fuyun, she just knocked open the uncle's indifferent heart. Incompetent policemen are clouds, they are just to set off Yuanbin's fast, handsome, and strong. The underworld brother is Fuyun, their existence is to let the uncle defeat one by one. It can not only protect "her" powerfully, but also arouse "her" love and protection, and it can satisfy all women's fantasies about the opposite sex. What are the female audience waiting for? Only screamed.
