The smooth friendship and the game of position

The first thing I saw was Park Chan-wook's film, and I couldn't help but click on it. The benchmark of Han's literature and art, plus the year 2000, can have a film that gathers movie stars like Song Kang-ho, Shin Ha-kyun, and Lee Byung-hun, who may be difficult to get together now.

"Common Security Zone" is actually quite a topic. At first glance, it describes the story of the border security zone between North Korea and South Korea. The soldiers of the two countries who are both Koreans have become brotherhood between neighbors, but when this brotherhood meets When it comes to the feelings of home and country, who should be where and who will betray who, Director Park has clearly portrayed here. However, there is a slight flaw in the review and review led by Li Ying Ai. The commercial elements that he wants are a bit out of place in the middle and back stages. Of course, commercial considerations can be understood by anyone.

Four men, two vs two demolition landmines, throw stones against regulations to exchange information, drink and frolic like brothers, cultural exchanges, everything that seems to be the most impossible thing on the front line of the battlefield, but it's better than a revolution The brotherhood of friendship changes when a Joseon lieutenant finds out everything about them. The Zheng soldier of the Northern Dynasty, played by Shin Ha-kyun, got together to celebrate his birthday. The lieutenant discovered the big secret of the day when he checked the post. When Li Bingxian confronted the lieutenant, Zheng soldier drew his gun and aimed at Li Bingxian. Zheng soldier was the first. He betrayed his friendship, so under great pressure, Nam Sung-sik shot him, but it was not fatal. The fatal wound was Lee Bing-hun's head shot, and he aimed at Song Kang-ho with his backhand. Song Kanghao, who is like a brother, is the only calm Song Kanghao. In order to save his brothers, he asked them to leave quickly, and let Li Bingxian shoot himself in the arm when he left.

Afterwards, both sides were reluctant to mention that the dust-covered things were covered up in the self-reports of the rest of the two sides, and Switzerland, the so-called neutral country, set up a neutrality committee to investigate, which made everything surface, and finally let the betrayal. The brotherhood of Lee Byung-hun and Nam Sung-sik both committed suicide as their final destination, which is very embarrassing.

The freeze-frame black-and-white photo of the last scene was taken in the background of all four people, which not only shows the sadness, but also shows the friendship between the four people on both ends of the border. It's just that this friendship has always been no match for war, ideology, and the cognition of home and country in that historical environment. After the whole film sequence, first nervousness, then showing brotherhood, and finally self-examination after the dust settles, except for the minor mistakes, it can be considered as one piece, which is really commendable.
