After watching Train to Busan 1, and then watching 2, I actually feel that the relationship between the two is not very big. Basically, 2 can be regarded as an independent movie. This is basically the reason for the low score. The success of the former has made the audience expect too much for the second part, so the ratings and word of mouth are far less high than the first part.
If it is an independent film alone, it is not so bad. It is an ordinary casual movie. The plot, character scenes, action scenes, and perfect ending are basically the level of normal commercial films, except for "Train to Busan" and "Parasite". ”, I didn’t watch Korean movies very much, but after watching this step, I suddenly felt that Korean movies have begun to favor Hollywood commercial movies. If the actors in it are replaced by American actors and the story scenes are replaced by American cities, it has nothing to do with Hollywood commercial movies. It's different, and even many of the main lines of love are similar. The male protagonist and his brother-in-law, the mother and daughter left behind, and the teacher who has been taking care of the mother and daughter. The final return of the male protagonist is actually full of individualism, but there is one more trip to Busan 2. just the shell.
As for many people who say that the scene setting and the plot cannot stand up to scrutiny, my personal point of view is that it is a commercial film, action + a little emotion, and every setting, every scene, and every action can stand up to repeated scrutiny. , It's cool to watch, just leave a little emotion after it's cool.
What this movie brought me is not only a sigh of the improvement of the quality of Korean movies, but also an interesting detail. There is a scene in the play where the four male protagonists just landed and saw the Korean language written on the road: " God gave up We ", thinking of the Korean missionaries who went to Iraq and Syria (ISIS was still there at the time) after the Iraq War, I feel that Christianity has gradually penetrated into this country and society. If it is a Buddhist or Islamic country , and even an atheist country, everyone will definitely find it inexplicable. Why is there such a sentence? Since such an expression is used in the movie, does that mean that there is a part of Christian culture in this country, and there is so much that it can be expressed in the movie? Everyone thinks it's normal. In fact, I am also curious, why Korean commercial films are more and more like Hollywood commercial films, while Japanese films have always been different. Is it because I don’t watch Japanese films very much, but Japanese films don’t seem to be well-known.
It's a bit crooked. The film review should write about the movie. In the end, it's not that bad. It's because our expectations are too high.
