Was shocked by three Korean movies: "Old Boy", "Uncle" and this "Witch". The reason for the shock is not how good they are, but that their appearance represents the improvement of the Korean film industry system, and it is more and more powerful, so powerful that it is enviable.
The film industry is a complete system, including screenwriting, filming, publicity, release, and commercial activities around the film, etc., and what best reflects the industrial system is not the niche art films of high caliber and few, but the types of commercial films. Action movies are one of the most demanding genres, and they need a mature team in terms of shooting technology, editing and post-production. Hollywood and Hong Kong movies are the best in this regard, followed by South Korea, and South Korea has now surpassed Hong Kong and Hollywood in some areas.
When I watched the movie "Uncle" many years ago, I couldn't believe it was made by Koreans. You must know that the Korean film system was immature before the early 20th century, and the market was monopolized by Hollywood. This kind of shock and surprise may be like an older person who only knows Sony and Panasonic, but suddenly finds that there is a monster in the world-Samsung, and the old Sony, Toshiba, Panasonic, Sharp, etc. suddenly take a back seat. The appearance of "Uncle" made me realize that South Korea has surpassed Hong Kong in terms of police and gangster films, especially in Hong Kong's proud action scenes, South Korea has completely played its own set of tricks, fierce, cruel, bloody and fast editing. , It's dazzling, if "Uncle" is not enough, please continue to watch the Korean movie "Berlin". To be honest, I didn't really like Korea for a while. I thought they were a little too good and exaggerated, so I thought Korean products contained huge moisture. For example, when my country's FAW and Dongfeng cars were running around the country, there were no car factories in South Korea at all, and they couldn't even build imitated cars. But when Hyundai and Kia's cars were running around the world, our FAW Almost reduced to their foundry, of course, Dongfeng has already OEM Kia. It’s not shameful to do OEM work for others. The shame is that the Chinese people can’t afford to lose. Obviously, we are indeed weak in many aspects, but we have been scolding South Korea for all kinds of bad things. I think this kind of jealousy. My dignified celestial power is actually behind Korea in many fields? How is it possible, so although I can't compare to others, my mouth is to win you, how about it? I'm better than you. This kind of mentality is really too much in the country. For a long time, I didn't like Hyundai cars and Samsung mobile phones. When you really understand and even use them later, you will find that their success is not just blown out, and they are really powerful. And in the film industry, the same can be felt. Facts have proved that South Korea has not only achieved first-class in police and gangster films, but also in this "Witch", the sci-fi genre has also achieved it. It can be said that this film does not have many action scenes, but it is definitely world-class. First of all, the best action scenes are only made by Orientals. Although Hollywood action scenes have invited Hong Kong martial arts instructors, their strength and posture are not enough, and most of them are imitations and inheritances of Hong Kong action films, and lack innovation. However, Korean action dramas have created their own set abruptly, which can also be remembered in the history of film and contribute to the global film industry. This is not to increase other people's ambitions or destroy one's own prestige, it is completely unnecessary, but to objectively state the point of view, the problem is to admit one's own shortcomings and learn everything better, instead of resting on their laurels and adopting the mentality of a big country every day
