After watching Cherry, this movie was released on February 26, 2021. It was a special day. Since Chongsan was unable to finalize the files for a long time, I went to find the resources of this movie, thinking that after all, he also appeared in it. In fact, there is another movie this year, and he also acted in The Land of Abandonment.
Cherry is like five miniseries put together. The various stages fall apart. The old-fashioned beginning when the male protagonist fell in love with the female protagonist at first sight and then got together after having a long-distance relationship with his girlfriend made me feel a little speechless in my heart. Then the protagonist fell in love quickly, but due to the injury caused by the original family, the heroine had difficulty admitting that she fell in love with the protagonist, so she resolutely said goodbye to the protagonist and told him that she was going to Montreal to study. After the male protagonist heard the news, he felt very sad, and immediately responded to the conscription and enlisted in the army. As a result, the heroine regretted her decision and told the hero that she didn't want to go to Montreal anymore. Good guy, it's not that you are not going anymore. I must go to the damn army, and then the male and female lead gets married, the male lead joins the army, becomes a military doctor, and joins the Iraq war.
After returning from the battlefield, the male protagonist suffered from the sequelae of war traumatic stress. Then started taking drugs. Seeing that she could not save the male lead, the two of them took drugs together. If you have no money for drugs, you go to grab the bank. Later, the female protagonist almost died from overdose. The male protagonist hoped that the female protagonist could stay away from her to stop taking drugs. The female protagonist told him "Even if you don't have you, I will take it." Well, the two of them continue to take drugs. In the end, the male protagonist was threatened by the local drug lord. If he did not rob the bank to pay off the drug money, the female protagonist would die, and then the male protagonist would blew himself up. Then he went to jail for fourteen years. Then he was released from prison, and the hostess drove the car and waited for him in the sunset.
This movie gives me a strong feeling of separation. The male protagonist has not encountered any positive influence at every stage of his growth. When he was in school, he had no parents, teachers, and gangs of friends, friends, and friends; meeting a new beloved girl is also a non-mainstream with an unconscious mind. When I went to the army, I didn't meet a good army leader, and I didn't get proper placement and psychological counseling after returning home from the army. The stacking of the above factors has made the male protagonist's degeneration inevitable, and the female protagonist is a non-mainstream with no brains. It is very speechless.
Such deliberate elements are piled together, and the final expression is still very basic and simple anti-war and anti-drug, and it is very obvious that they want to attribute the problem to the general environment. Coupled with pretendingly deep photography and soundtrack, the atmosphere of the whole movie is suppressed to the extreme.
But because the era described in the film is the beginning of the 21st century, it can be more tolerant.
If this type of movie just forcibly tears up some originally beautiful people for you to see and then tells you the cruelty of war and the terribleness of drugs, then this movie really does not belong to the ranks of excellent movies.
Alas, but Tang Holland is so handsome, really.
