I know that quite a few people are very picky about watching movies, and their reviews of movies are also very vicious. Actually, I am like that too. To define whether a film is good or bad, there are actually no strict criteria for judging. Most people also judge the quality of a movie from the plot or shooting techniques, the acting skills of the actors, etc.
The phrase "fighter in a bad movie" has been heard quite frequently this year. However, I personally think that it is also a skill to be able to extract the essence from bad films and learn something.
In recent years, I have paid close attention to the growth of Han Ying. In the old concept, South Korea's bitter drama has left a deep impression on many people's minds. The unhappy ending and the ever-traditional matching mode also made many people close their attention to Korean dramas and Korean movies early.
The movie "The Furnace" is the first movie I've stopped to watch this year. Before that was the promotional synopsis for the movie that caught my attention. Because Uncle Gong Yoo also said that he wanted to make a transformation with this film, I had great expectations. "The Furnace" is adapted from the novel of the same name by the Korean writer Gong Ji-young. The novel was first serialized on the Korean portal Daum from November 2008 to May 2009, and the hit rate exceeded 16 million, setting a record for online literature serialization. The novel is based on real events that happened in a deaf school in Gwangju in 2005. It tells the story of the school's new art teacher rescuing abused students from the clutches of the principal and other teachers, exposing the cruelty of the teacher's human face and beastly heart.
When Gong Yoo saw the novel during his military service, he had the urge to make it into a movie, which is the most primitive factor that contributed to the success of the movie now. He once said: "After the shooting, I often worry about whether I have the ability to make this work based on my passion. The background of the story is rather special and comes from the truth. I often can't help but feel sad when shooting. It's really a challenging job to create a character in the mood."
Under the repressive tone of the film's narrative, the ugly side of human nature revealed shocked and terrified us, and more was speechless. In fact, this is not the only thing that happens in Korea. Isn't this kind of thing happening in a lot of our places? It's just that they have the courage to put this on the screen and attract more people's attention, and our Chinese government uses her terrifying majesty to restrain our expression.
It shouldn't be like this. Chinese films are constrained by too many development, and their growth path is too difficult.
The Furnace actually doesn't have a very flashy packaging appearance. The director's shooting technique is also very ordinary, almost telling a true story. Only a few clips are processed in slow motion, emphasizing its power. Because this story is composed of innocent children, it is even more touching and makes people question human nature. The result of the film is no longer that "the wicked get the punishment they deserve, and the victimized children live happily ever after" - this story does not have a good outcome. One child died, the other was silent in tears.
It is precisely because of this incomplete ending that it will be more powerful. I never thought this film would be more straightforward and cruel than the real society.
Shouldn't it be more important to think about the educators themselves? Isn't it the nurturer himself? Is it not the government workers themselves? Is it not our social adults themselves who create such a social atmosphere?
There are still many sobbings of innocent children in this society that we cannot hear.
They look forward to a warm, bright future.
