text / Wen Dao Buqun (269412554)


series of thieves movies, fans have their own set of entertainment rules, although they are thieves , but with wisdom and highly valuable technical means to overcome one difficulty after another, we often call them thieves, which also belong to anti-hero movies. In the end, it was a day and a day, which made people addicted. South Korea's "League of Thieves" is a thieves movie about teamwork.


This film once again shows the strong learning and reference ability of Korean films. It is not difficult to see the whole film, including the influence of "11 Arhats", "Dark War", "Downstream and Countercurrent" and other films. It's embarrassing that people have photographed elegance and aristocratic temperament. The biggest difficulty in this type of film is the group play, giving everyone a chance to perform. Teamwork has a very strict division of labor, and at the same time everyone has their own personality characteristics, such as Park Macau's wisdom and layout, Quan sister's small abacus, Chewing gum and wine never leave the body, but Bobby's cunning is always seen or taken advantage of. Ren Dahua's brother Chen is an actor for the Landlord's Friendship, and the character performance is also remarkable. The free and easy temperament of the thief is full of romance even in death. Pepsi is a person who has a story in her heart, which makes her position in the whole film not inferior to that of the extremely popular sister Quan, and Li Xinjie plays an undercover police officer who is also a master lock-picker. The core background of this person is her There is a thief father who is also a master lock-picker, and her lock-picking skills are received by the thief's father. This is the first point of the screenwriter. The characters in the film always have surprising backgrounds, followed by the characters' hearts and feelings. They will all explain, such as Jampano's crush on his sister and eventually sacrificed for her. The inner attributes of these characters greatly influence the audience's likes and dislikes, and also make the audience worry about their fate. In addition, The main characters usually have a strong motive to hide. Just like the relationship between Park Macau's revenge plan and Brother Chen, it was not mentioned from the beginning. The film is to uncover Park Macau step by step in the process of teamwork and division of labor. Powerful psychological motivation, in the eyes of ordinary people, the ultimate goal of stealing treasures is to exchange banknotes for snowflakes. This is also the meaning of thieves stealing, and it is also a movie-watching habit that is generally recognized by the audience and forms a fixed mindset. However, the movie is about Breaking the old rules and breaking the habit, so that your head can't turn around, can't guess the ending, this is a real intellectual competition, if you can deceive me, you win, why don't the director and the audience compete for intelligence, so be a thief When treasure is not money, then its ultimate meaning becomes an intellectual long-distance race. Park Macau's strong inner motivation prompted the final reversal of the story. Although everyone seems to be in a cooperative relationship on the surface, in fact, everyone has a secret in their hearts, thinking about how to become the final winner and get out of their bodies, deceive everyone, including their own partners, like magic People are dumbfounded, which is also the charm of the film.


The dazzling technical means in this kind of movie are also a great pleasure to watch the movie. Needless to say, the fun of unlocking is the key. However, the unlocking scene in this film is less suspenseful, and there is no exciting scene. It's a little regrettable that the schedule comes.


Of course, this film also has action scenes in genre films. At the end, a scene in which Park Macau singled out Wei Hong's subordinates is obviously borrowed from Tsui Hark's "Downstream and Against the Current" in which resident Lou Wubai singled out his former teammates. , with the help of ropes swaying between high-rise buildings, the fast and fierce aerial fight scenes were filmed at the Hollywood level. I have to say that Korean action scenes are getting more and more smooth.


The reversal of the ending, although weakening the color of revenge, but the biggest villain gets justice, and also gives this antihero movie a happy ending.
