"Common Security Area" movie diary

Recently, I was reading the book "Park Chan-wook's Montage". I read it slowly, and it was not painful, but it was a waste of time. This book, written by Park Chan-wook himself, about the real idea of ​​making a movie is similar to a movie diary, which is quite interesting. The reason for the slow reading is still my own fault, because I have watched too little of the director's works, so I can only make up lessons while reading books, often after reading a short chapter of him (thoughts about a certain movie, The situation log of the movie) In the future, I will be completely confused, so I can only come back to make up the class in a dazed way.

I watched "I Want My Vengeance" and "Old Boy" before, and I wanted to continue watching "Dear Gold" in one go, but let's stop here. After watching "I Want My Vengeance", I almost didn't even eat dinner. As a loyal fan of youth school dramas, my acceptance of the violent beauty of my body still needs to be improved. I am now wondering if there is a director who has made the youth romance drama to the extreme. I suggest that I also write a diary of filming, so that I can swim in the pink bubbles, and I must be happy physically and mentally. There seems to be a little bit of Park Zanyu's feeling missing from "Common Security Zone". I originally wanted to describe it, but after reading the director's autobiography, I have to admit that his self-awareness is clearer than others. His elaboration in Park Chan-wook's Montage is this: I tried to kill "me". Compared with language, I pay more attention to communication; compared to a few loyal fans, I pay more attention to the audience; compared to self-awareness, I pay more attention to the theme; compared to directing, I pay more attention to acting; compared to style, I pay more attention to emotion; I pay more attention to politics than aesthetics. In general, I try to make it an A, not a B. I did my best to eliminate the director's presence as much as possible, and whatever the outcome, I'm proud of it. (So ​​the film I like is the one he said he tried to cover up his directing traces, so is it Park Chan-wook who I like? It’s him and not him. It’s a bit of a paradox.)

MD, actually said so much nonsense.

I admired "Common Security Zone", and I was so sorry for the black and white photos at the end, and the sudden appearance of the black and white photos at the end made me feel that this movie suddenly resembled a fairy tale. If you use this photo to freeze the frame, it is not a fairy tale!

I have been wondering if the story can only take place on the border between the two Koreas, whether it is feasible for the story to take place in our country, or whether there is a director who can make such a film on sensitive issues in our country (although Knowing the national conditions will not allow it), if it can really reach this level, then it may have a positive impact on our cross-strait relations.

The movie starts with flashbacks, then flashbacks in the middle, and flashbacks at the end. When I watched it, I was thinking, I really can't be a director. According to my way of thinking and logic, even if I divide the whole film into several subsections and arrange them in chronological order, I may not be able to do it.

The male protagonist is definitely going to commit suicide. According to his feelings and thinking, he can only get rid of it by committing suicide in the end. I think suicide is good. It has a feeling of ending. The director said that the starting point of the tragedy was because of Nan Chengzhi's fanaticism.

Have you ever wondered why Han always comes over instead of Chao? Are there any other factors fostered by character and the overall political environment?
