"Haeundae".... Without these big brothers knocking on the door of world film and shaking the Asian film industry, it would not be the turn of the younger generations to make concerted efforts.
The film tells the story of a confused and even mentally impaired Kang Doo, who lives on the banks of the Han River with his daughter Xuan Rui and his father, and runs a convenience store for a living. , Uncle Nanri is a college student who can't find a job. Suddenly, the appearance of an unknown creature that he has never seen before broke the peaceful life of the family. The monster rushed to the shore and rushed into the crowd of onlookers. In the panic, their daughter Xuan Rui was robbed, and the family embarked on a thrilling story of rescuing Xuan Rui.
The film is a monster movie on the surface, but it all reveals love. Kang Doo's fatherly love for his daughter, father's love for his children, and Namjoo Namri's care for Hyun-seo, the horror scenes of monsters are intertwined with the deep love. Together they form part of the film's plot, and another part of the film is the satire of politics, the satire of the government's incompetence, and the exposure of the country's shady scenes. These three completely different elements form the theme of the film. At first glance, the relationship is chaotic. , difficult to sort out, but director Feng Junhao broke through the limitations of the film theme and perfectly integrated these irrelevant elements. The process of hunting down unknown creatures was tense and thrilling, and the political irony added a heavy and heavy stroke. an important one.
Although this film does not have the pinnacle of film creation, it is still a good film worthy of reflection, a film full of satire and metaphor.
Too much nonsense, and the plot is very compact. Although there are some bugs, it is harmless. Unlike Hollywood movies, there is no long foreshadowing, and there is no routine that monsters always appear at night. This makes people shine. Because the monster in the film hangs on the Han River Bridge in the daytime and basks in the sun! The first minute of the film will attract you. At the beginning of the film, the origin of the monster is explained
. A strange monster was born because the Americans dumped chemicals into the Han River. relationship, so this also indicates that the movie is not a simple monster movie, but just uses the monster as a metaphor for some international current situation and Korean social problems at that time.
The movie begins to set a trap for us. People who come into contact with monsters will bring infectious diseases, which attracts the attention of the world. Kang Doo is suspected of contracting infectious diseases. How he shouted and struggled to explain was in vain. At this time, the Korean government took him as a lunatic, and no one was willing to take responsibility. The Americans were even more shy and shameful. On the surface, they were revealing the truth of a virus, but behind it was hiding. and cover a false truth! The funny thing is that the so-called "virus" does not exist!
The South Korean government also did its surface work. The doctor who knew that the American professor came to South Korea immediately hung up the X-ray film and turned on the equipment.
When the monster appeared, the government did not go all out to encircle and suppress it, but blocked the Han River.
When the people at the scene of the accident gathered in the stadium and panic spread, the government did not come forward to comfort and comfort, but concealed the truth and forcibly captured Kang Dou who was in contact with the monster.
When Kang Doo received a call from his daughter Xuan Rui for help, everyone thought it was a real event and thought Kang Doo was crazy.
When the family escaped from the hospital and drove away, the road security officer was corrupt.
The American doctor apparently promised Kang Doo to rescue Xuan Rui, but he actually wanted to do a craniotomy.
In the latter part of the movie, the Korean government resolutely injected chemical agents regardless of the life safety of the college students.
All this has happened, let us see an irresponsible government, a government full of lies, an indifferent society, the annihilation of human nature, facing a ridiculous and incompetent government, facing a deformed and indifferent society. The road to independence struggle is so uneven, how should the personal struggle be taken, how should personal justice be upheld, and why should Xuanrui's government care about the safety of the situation?
At this point in the movie, we should understand that in fact, the enemies of the Kang Doo family have never been monsters. What they really face is an ideological "monster". The monster in the Han River is just an introduction, and the appearance of a metaphor
seems to be the most important. The stupid and most stupid Kang Doo is actually the most loving person. Every detail of getting along with his daughter is full of strong fatherly love. The father who seems to be the oldest and most useless is actually the bravest person. In a very
tense and shocking episode, the father knew that the monster was behind him, and he would die on the spot. He didn't ask for help, he didn't run away, he didn't struggle, and some just waved to Kang Doo indifferently.
The sad thing is that Xuan Rui became the victim of this struggle, the movie starts and ends on the Han River, everything returns to normal life, Kang Doo and his family are still living in that world full of indifferent lies, all Kang Doo can do is ironic Turning off the news on the TV with his toes, maybe at that moment, Kang Dou said in his mind, it's none of my business to broadcast what I like, a bunch of idiots.
