remember that when I was a child, there were several Muslim households attached to my home, and even the most vicious gangster on the street would not dare to embarrass the children there, because if you hit a child, it will attract all the Children, from high school to elementary school. In "New World", the protagonist (Korean) finds several Korean killers from Yanbian and calls them "Old Bangzi of Yanbian", while the Han people living in Yanbian directly call them Gaoli Bangzi. Simply put, they are always seen as aliens to others, whether it is the person closest to them by blood or the person closest to them geographically. Although we have been talking about equality, the notion that people who are not of us must be different is always deeply rooted in everyone's heart. This is not simply a matter of discrimination, but it is natural to draw an inequality sign between them and themselves. Just like the "Professor" would not pursue Jiunan who broke into the apartment building, but instead gave him money, because in the eyes of the "Professor", Jiunan is a Korean ethnicity, and he should be running around in the freezing weather, or he will be homeless. returnable.
The name "Yellow Sea" is very quintessential. The story is that Jiunan and the Koreans are just like this sea, sandwiched between two countries and two groups, and are ignored and discriminated against. And the Yellow Sea is also the beginning and end of the story. Everything begins here, and everything ends here.
"A Song of Ice and Fire" has a part called The Feast of Crows, and this story is more like a group of rabid dogs fighting frantically for the bone called "women and money". Even though the bone had burst through the stomach sac and stuck in the throat, it was still stuffed regardless, saliva and blood gushing from his mouth.
In the first half of the story, the overall atmosphere is similar to that of other Korean films of the same type. It is always depressing, muddy, and cold, and there is always an inexplicable feeling of suffocation and powerlessness. The atmosphere is until the "Professor" is killed to reach a corner, not a peak. The story here is transformed like a butterfly effect, and the whole story, like Jiu Nan's life, slides into a future that no one can predict. Director Luo Hongzhen made his debut with a short film, and successfully entered the array of first-line Korean directors with the two works of "The Chaser" and "The Yellow Sea". If you have seen his short work "Khan.", you will find that his control of the picture and the overall atmosphere are always very precise and powerful. "Women and money" are always the original sins in his stories, and knives and blood are also essential. In the second half, after almost every supporting role appeared, the next scene was being beaten to death and lying on the ground for questioning. And the invincible Uncle Cotton always completes the 1V 10+ fight between the two lenses. And the fighting scenes seem to be extraordinarily direct and straightforward. There is no Chinese kung fu that jumps over the wall, and there is no dazzling and exciting Hollywood-style fighting. It is a knife to the flesh and a fist to the body, which seems to be no different from a street gang fight. It's hard to say whether this method is good or bad. After all, some people like to "kill people and get out of the dead", while others like to do it simply and rudely. This is the style of the narrator. He speaks, and he decides whether to listen or not.
The setting of the overall story structure obviously took a lot of thought, and the effect is between nonsense and confusion. So there are so many people in the comments explaining what the story is about. And this kind of structure is the same as the narrative method mentioned above.
The two leading actors and the director are old partners, and both have done the best they can. The entire filming process took more than a year, and it was indeed not in vain. Director Luo Hongzhen is very short-tempered and a perfectionist. It is said that an assistant director was sent to the hospital by him during the filming. However, only such a person can tell a good story. No madness, no Buddhahood.
Regarding the setting of the ending, many people are arguing, should it end with the final throwing of the corpse in the Yellow Sea, and is the wife returning home at the end a real or a dream? For me, it may be more inclined to end in the Yellow Sea. If it is cruel, it is cruel to the end.
"Hey, hey, let's go!"
