I just accidentally watched the pirated version of Train to Busan 2 (youku has it), the whole movie basically continued the theme of 1, but the scale of 2 is much larger than that of 1. The story of 1 mainly takes place in a narrow train that was occupied, while The story of 2 expands to the entire occupied peninsula. Various fierce fighting plots are constantly impacting our audience's senses, so watching 2 has a feeling of watching a blockbuster, which is rarely found in Korean movies. . At the same time, the twists and turns of the plot, the theme’s observation of the alienation and persistence of human nature, and the conscious use of cool and warm tones have not changed the true nature of these Korean films. However, it is a pity that the expansion of the pattern has resulted in the lack of some specific details, some distortions in the psychological descriptions of the characters, and some routine and stereotyped plots are also filled in the movie, which will somewhat disintegrate some audiences. Appreciation, even unavoidable doubts. The instability of the foundation finally led to the lack of sublimation of the theme, and it was difficult to reach the emotional pain points of the audience. In this regard, it was not as good as 1, but this is the most important point.
