"The Host", it's an award-winning Asian best film, so I'm curious to know why a Korean film would be the best Asian film, and a Japanese film would be the best Asian film, I'm not surprised, Taiwanese film It is not surprising to me to be the best in Asia, and it is not surprising that mainland films are the best.
Of course, it's not that I've always had a bad impression of Korean movies. Korean director Xu Qinhao's "Spring Die" and "August Photo Studio" are all good. These films are all made with care, and they also need the audience to watch them carefully. The themes are also simple. Lover, lover, faint, helpless, gone.
But "The Monster of the Han River" talks about a lot of things:
First, politics, when it comes to politics, of course, it's anti-American. Koreans are really jumpy. Directly pointed at the American troops in Korea, despised the stupidity and boredom of the United States, and scolded the Americans from the side.
Second: the presentation of the oriental spirit. In Korean films, there have always been many little people, but there are no big heroes, but the little people also stand up, and the little people will also sacrifice their lives for their own families. In a family, men, women, the elderly, and children are all tenacious and brave. Although they have many shortcomings, they are very real. Compared with the American habit of YY, it is really much better.
Third: The truth of the dark side is far more shocking than the beauty in YY. There is no more poisonous person than self-deception. People of the older generation, habitually giving gifts, reminded me of my parents, and the journey has been difficult. Today’s beauty, I am well-deserved.
The final ending, as I expected, I have always hated the perfect ending, it was originally YY, I think someone will always pay for it, indeed, the departure of the little girl made me understand the director's mood, he is A tough and pragmatic person.
Sacrifice, the American word, how poignant, with Nordic goth music, is very intoxicating. But it is precisely the Easterners who truly understand the meaning of the word, the meaning of family, collective, and country, which is not something that a nation like the United States with a high divorce rate can understand.
The Koreans did a great job this time.
