Two people, one was so debilitated, poor, and owed a huge debt of more than 200 million won that could not be repaid. In the end, he committed suicide by throwing himself into the river and failed, and was trapped in an isolated island on the Han River; Text messages and occasional communication with parents outside the room, indulging in a virtual online world and unable to extricate themselves. Suddenly, the lives of two people have an intersection, because this is the kingdom of the omnipotent stick.
The opening stage of the film made me feel a little bit like Tom Hanks' "Cast Away", but the stick man's figure is more clumsy, and the stick-like wretchedness can be seen everywhere. After the juice, the howling and crying continued for several feet of tears and snot. In terms of spiritual will, there is a huge gap between the stick man and the old man. This may be because the mood of the two is completely different, the old man wants to go home, and the stick man just wants to escape. The same is that both of them have a strong survival instinct, not to mention the old man who has a sweet wife waiting at home, and the stick man is not the one who wants to die. Afraid is not difficult. Of course, everything has a turn for the better. The desperate man found a package of jajang noodles on the island, so he began to fantasize about the deliciousness of jajang noodles, so he made the most important decision of his life. The man decided to grow corn on the cob. (It seems that not only Chinese teenagers are poisoned by instant noodles).
On the other hand, the stick girls have their own bad tastes, such as peeping with a Sony SLR small steel gun. So suddenly I found a stick man with no clothes, half of curiosity, maybe a little bit of sexual fantasies about middle-aged men, I was excited and carefully planned to throw the first drift bottle with a note. The stick man also wrote on the beach to respond, and finally the hero and heroine finally hooked up. There is no need to say much about the development of the final plot. The stick man relied on his hard work to eat fried noodles. Although he was expelled from the island, he finally met the heroine dramatically.
The theme of the film should be hope. Bangzi Man's hope for life is condensed into the bowl of fried noodles. Bangzi seems indifferent, but in fact has delicate feelings, and longs for someone to comfort each other in a lonely life. This should be regarded as the second Korean film I have seen. The last one was "The Monster of the Han River". The Korean film does have its merits, such as its portrayal of small characters, which is exaggerated but not obtrusive; The handling is very witty, and there is no lack of lighthearted humor. I really like that scene in this film. The stick girl helps Mr. Jin "push" the duck boat into place with his fingers in front of the camera lens. It's really Sweet. There is that very happy courier deliveryman. If it was said that Chinese movies had some advantages over Korean movies more than ten years ago, now the stick is really turning the Chinese people into several crossroads.
However, I secretly think that this film is also a bit flawed, that is, it is too idealistic, and the romanticism complex is too serious. Two people have met, what about the more than 200 million arrears? The great revolutionary leader Che Guevara taught us to "be loyal to our ideals" but at the same time "face reality". The ending of the film can be changed. If you are positive, the men and women of sticks will make a fortune by planting sticks and pay off their debts; if they are negative, they will go to the 63rd floor building together and commit suicide in love, then it will be perfect.
