Hope for the stars, hope for the moon. Finally, I waited until the time for "The Cry" to release the resources. I went to watch a high-quality Korean crime movie, but I was scared to death by ghosts in the middle of the night.
The first reaction after watching the whole film was:
"Damn, I didn't understand."
"The crime suspense film that I said was a good one, there are so many ghosts, it scared the baby to death." " The
story can't be self-justified."
Brush again, don't ask me if I'm still afraid?
Will I tell you that I shivered at the office all day?
Look back from time to time~ There are always bad people who want to harm me. I
replay it and find that it is extremely bloody, violent, evil, magical, and cunning. The cross-editing of all kinds of strange powers and gods is so hilarious, and it mixes all kinds of Chinese and Western religions. Metaphors, and many other metaphors such as Japanese and Korean politics, history, etc.
, this may only be understood by old drivers who have lived for 300 years.
Pick some of the parts that you are more interested in.
1. Empty shots like a literary film
There are a lot of empty shots at the beginning of the film, the sky, mountains, clouds, sunset, and birds, depicting a quiet and beautiful rural pastoral scenery.
However, in such a small mountain village isolated from the world, murders are happening one after another.
There is a sharp contrast between the two. The interesting thing about the film is that it selects the rhythm that is usually used in literary and artistic films.
2. Focus on the "waste police" The
first murder in 300 years occurred on a rainy day
(it seems that the murders in Korean crime films are all in the rainy day, why? In the end, is it raining often in Korea, or the rain can wash the dirty soul , to help the murderer disappear, Maybe have it!)
The male protagonist in the film, Zhong Jiu, is a policeman, and yes, he is the most common type of trash policeman in Korean crime films. He is timid and cowardly. outside the door.
The police station has only three police officers and one police car. Isn't it strange enough that there are murder cases one after another, but they are not reported, and no one has left the town to apply for support from superiors?
Put it in my great heaven, everyone will know it on the streets and alleys a long time ago!
Speaking of the useless male protagonist, I really wanted to hit Xiaobai when I first watched it, it's too embarrassing for the police. But later I found out that my daughter had been caught by a ghost, and she vowed to kill the Japanese. She fought with the zombies, and her aura was 2.8 meters! What the hell! Really brave.
However, there is no use for eggs, because in front of demons and monsters, stupid humans are really Too yang too simple!
3. Fishing
is an important image in "The Cry".
Please look at this poster carefully, we can see the silhouette of someone fishing by the water at the bottom
The film also begins with hook and line fishing.
When Zhong Jiu asked the wizard why his daughter was killed, the wizard said : When you are fishing, do you know what you will catch?
Later, after the male protagonist "killed" the old Japanese man on the way back to the city, the sorcerer divination said: This fool actually bit the bait. What the bait is will be known later.
4. The wild and extensive performances and the heart-wrenching acting skills
are very impressive to Kim Hwan-hee (played by Hyo-jin). He is shy and shy when he is normal, his eyes are fierce when he is sick, he is rude to his parents, and he eats and devours things like
crazy .
The acting may be difficult for children to understand, but Kim Huan-hee is really good at acting. I beg the director to add chicken legs to the child!
My favorite scene in the film is the scene where the male protagonist returns to the hospital to watch his daughter push the door after throwing the Japanese body.
Behind the crack of the door, there was a faint light flashing. At that time, I thought that if I opened the door, I would know if all this suffering is over?
Has the daughter returned to normal?
Frightened, he dared not see the ending, so he plucked up the courage to push the door open, and when he saw that his daughter was fine and looked back at the policeman's father, his eyes were full of tears.
It's really touching, even though it's all an illusion, the suffering has just begun.
5. The most powerful scene in the bloody shaman sacrificial
film is the battle between Huang Zhengmin and Guocun Falcon.
One black, one white, one yin and one yang, people who watch it with strong rhythm background music are really bloody. The
Korean director is able to turn a Northeast shaman village three artillery style into a Hollywood blockbuster, and also mix various types of films. Tradition, with this paragraph at the bottom, I feel that Dancing God will definitely be taken by South Korea to apply for the World Heritage.
6. One black and one white, one positive and one evil?
The white shaman played by Uncle Zhengmin has indeed done some so-called good things, but there are various signs that he and the Japanese are all the same, and the two wear underwear like diapers.
They all took pictures of dead or dying people, as well as the pictures that the Japanese had taken before claiming to have been burned.
The director also said in an interview that the two actually knew each other from the very beginning.
That is to say, the white shaman first pretended to point the finger at his Japanese teammates, and used the advanced skills of "wolves step on wolves" in the werewolf killing game to establish his identity, so that he was deceived in the village.
If these two are teammates, then the boss of the other party is an unknown female ghost.
So which one is evil and which one is right! ! ? ?
Is it a nameless female ghost who fights with black and white and two evil spirits?
Or is the unknown female ghost a local patron saint who wants to drive away these two foreign ghosts?
Oh my god, I feel that my IQ is not enough.
What's more, for the police uncle who is the victim of the madness, it is impossible to distinguish the real good from evil, right?
7. Why is the title of the film called "The Cry", and whose cry is it?
Crying refers to the sound of the wailing of those who are alive after death.
In the film, his father Zhong Jiu is the only survivor. Compared with the dead, of course the survivors suffer more. The director has said that the film tells the story of the victims. No matter what, he tried his best and it wasn't his fault that he made his face so big at the end of the film.
The above is only my personal understanding of the film. Maybe you will have other understandings after watching it. To borrow the Korean audience's evaluation of "The Cry", "This is a movie that throws bait at the audience."
