"Common Security Area" tells the story of a shooting incident in the common security area on the border, which triggered a gun battle between the two sides. Swiss nationality Korean girl Sophie came to investigate the incident. On one side were the silent South Korean soldiers, and on the other were the strong and hostile North Korean soldiers. Sophie continued to investigate based on their testimony, trying to restore the situation of the night of the shootout, but found that the two had been trying to conceal the existence of another person at the scene that night. fact. This movie made me meet Li Ying Ae for the first time. In the film, her uniform style is full of heroic spirit, and she uses her excellent acting skills to create the image of a shrewd and capable female officer. At the end of the film, the female officer was discovered as a descendant of a prisoner of war who did not want to go to either the North or the South during the Korean War, and her identity as a neutral was questioned. In the end, she could not carry the communication between the North and the South. She saw it with her own eyes. The cruel scene of Li Shouhe, the subject under investigation, committed suicide by pulling a gun. On the one hand, the film shows the urgent desire of the people of the North and the South for reunification, and on the other hand, it also shows a hint of helpless despair. In "Common Security Zone", the profound discussion on the historical pain of North and South Korea is the core of the film's narrative. After Park Chan-wook's meticulous portrayal, it greatly shocked the Korean film industry at that time. His excellent drama writing ability, black and cruel image prototype , the torn and desperate thematic extension took the then-Korean genre up a notch. War is cruel, but human nature is warm. When the picture is frozen at the last moment, the corners of the four people's mouths rise slightly, which is doomed to the tragedy of this film, and the final reunification between the two countries is also hidden in the deepest part of the director's heart. look forward to.
