a few miscellaneous feelings

The few Korean War movies I've watched feel pretty good, "The Taiji Flag Flying", "Life and Death", "Silmi Island", "Toward the Artillery Fire", "Highland War" and this work.

The basic mode of these films is basically to connect the whole film with the fate of some small characters as a clue, which is very shocking. I like this kind of storytelling very much. It takes into account the grand war narrative and the struggle of small characters, and achieves a certain balance. This strong contrast can always bring a strong shock to moviegoers like me. . The so-called "look at the leopard in the tube, you can see it", probably this is also the so-called.

Although I also don’t like the arrogance of Korean people, but regardless of the emotional factor, simply looking at the standard of “a movie tells a good story”, I have to admit that Korean movies have been thrown away in this regard. We are a few streets away. In the past, the most criticized common problem of domestic movies was that they tended to focus on grand narratives and neglected the shaping of basic people. After being criticized in this regard, people feel that they have often been overcorrected and patched together over the years. Those strange plots make a hodgepodge of hodgepodge, empty and insubstantial, always reminding me of the word "magic tricks", well, that's all.

Finally some episodes that stuck with me.

1. The Soviet-German urban warfare undoubtedly borrowed from "Bing on the City". Those who admire it can say it is a "salutation", and those who despise it can say it is "plagiarism". "Tribute" or "plagiarism", you can decide for yourself.

2. Chinese female sniper, Fan Ye is really international, domineering and mighty.

3. The performance of Zotye (I don't know if the subtitle translation is correct) in the Soviet prisoner of war camp makes people feel that what really alienates people is not war but power. I remember when Schindler persuaded the Nazi officer in "Schindler's List": "You are a king, you have the right to kill him without killing him, this is the real power and majesty" (can't remember the original words That's probably what it means.) There are not many people who can really hold power and stay awake.

4. The Soviet prisoner of war camp was roaring with cold winds, making fire and burning people to survive, which was almost the same as the German concentration camp; the Normandy coast was sunny and the sea breeze was gentle. The Koreans were brainwashed by their father country after the war, and sure enough, there is no difference between Sod and Germany in their eyes.

5. We all know that this story has too many yy components, but the whole is smooth. This is called self-justification. The domestic screenwriters and directors are not convinced.
