The mantis catches the cicada, the oriole is behind, and there is a poisonous snake behind the oriole. The genre label is determined as: plot, history, and horror. It is expected to meet with audiences in mainland China in September. Xiao Xuan'er is a strong friend in South Korea. Under the recommendation, I watched this film simultaneously released in Toronto. It is said that the film won a record-breaking box office title on the first day of its release in South Korea. With Korean audiences adhering to a consistent support for the domestic film industry, the only theater in the Toronto area showing the film was full on Tuesday afternoon, surrounded by twos and threes of Korean students and middle-aged and elderly immigrants. The whole movie is 140 minutes, that is to say, the whole movie is longer than the 131 minutes of "Mission Impossible 5", Xiao Xuan'er has to say, during the movie screening, you will enjoy this without any distractions: Delicate and heavy action blockbuster. Delicateness refers to the high degree of restoration of the film's role interpretation and chronological background. Thickness refers to the depth of the historical theme of the film and the theme of saving the country and the people. The nature of the action blockbuster makes the whole film mixed with martial arts fights, gun battles, and long-distance sniper headshots, which is full of explosive power. In addition to the above points and necessary factors for a commercial film, the plot part of the film really shows the core of the Korean film production team-a solid foundation in screenwriting. A movie can invite Jeon Ji-hyun, Ha Jung-woo, Kim Yi-sung, and Lee Jung-jae. It is certainly a solid and good film built with their acting skills, but the brain-burning plot has become the basic characteristic of the current drama. The chain of conspiracies, the puzzles, the clues, the wonderful plot of the film, the complexity of the characters, the tragedy of the ending and the cleverness of the reversal of the questions, let people see the strength of the film's screenwriter. In contrast, in the process of watching the movie, Xiao Xuan'er kept thinking in his mind that the same historical theme of the War of Resistance, my country has also made a lot of movies, is there any one that can be used to intersect with it? I thought of it. Only the movie "Sound of the Wind" that year. If "The Sound of the Wind" is a purely secret battle, then "Assassination" is a "secret battle" with sharp swords and spears. In the introduction to the story, it can be seen that the members and tactics of the assassination team have long been leaked to another wave of killers. The task of hidden ambush has changed from assassinating others to being assassinated by others, and the plot has thus moved to the peak of confusing and confusing climaxes. (The following content involves spoilers, but does not affect the viewing effect, please go around if you don’t like it.) Several dark lines surrounding the assassination At the beginning of the film, we reviewed a history of assassinations in 1911, which led to the important male protagonist of the film: Yeon Seok Jin, played by Lee Jung Jae, who was an agent of the Provisional Government of South Korea. Because of the heroic deeds of the year, he has long become a legend among the agents-the town of Lianxi who lacked a middle finger. In a blink of an eye, in 1933, the provisional government of South Korea once again gave him a difficult assassination mission, and asked him to find the personnel of the mission execution team. The heroine played by Jun Ji Hyun: the sniper An Yuyun is the assassination team. Captain. Most of the ordinary spy films or assassination conspiracy feature films stop here. The plot can follow the main line, add some difficulties and obstacles, continue to develop to the climax stage, and finally have a successful or tragic ending. In this movie, the review of the assassination and the plot of the current assassination are just an introduction. The complexity of the film will radiate infinitely from here. And all the fuse was caused by the dual identity of "Lian Xizhen who lost a finger". The original simple assassination mission was turned into an assassination team organized by Mingli in Lianxi Town to assassinate high-ranking Japanese officials and pro-Japanese politicians, and secretly, he also revealed the news to the Japanese and hired assassins to attack members of the assassination team behind him. At the same time, the secret agent organization of the Korean Provisional Government also began to doubt his identity. This also made him unexpected and made him the target of the organization’s assassination, and he himself But I don't know it at all. Such a chain of assassinations were revealed in the first hour before the start of the film, which made the audience with a full perspective suddenly become nervous and have a completely different attitude towards each target who is about to be assassinated. On the one hand, he hoped that the assassination team members would not be assassinated. On the other hand, he hoped that Japanese warlords and traitor agents could be hand-knacked. However, when many personnel were completely unaware of the enemy behind him, the audience grabbed one. Xin, and the protagonists, nervously walked into the plot development of the next one and a half hours. Character setting around dual identities In the middle of the film, three characters are presented one after another. Double-faced agents: Lian Xizhen, assassination team leader: An Yuyun, bounty killer: Hawaii Pisto, played by Ha Zhengyu. Because of the fate of the three protagonists, under such a historical background of the war of resistance, men and women from the same country, but because of the loss of the country, they need to take their lives, or even sacrifice their lives, to take their own lives. The right to survival of oneself and the country. Lian Xizhen’s rebellion can be understood as living for the sake of power. Hawaii Pisto can kill anyone for money without asking why. And An Yuyun, a sniper from the Independence Army, was doing seemingly meaningless resistance for the country's re-independence, ready to give his life like a firefly at any time. The positions and values of several characters are completely different, which makes people's personalities very distinct in contrast. Here, the screenwriter and director have established interesting dual identities for the three characters. It is this dual choice that makes each character's heart rich and full, and the audience is full of sympathy and pity for them. . Agent Lian Xizhen used to be a sincere member of the Independent Legion, but under the torture of the Japanese, he had to choose to live a lifelessly, but unfortunately he got stuck deeper and deeper and embarked on the path of the devil to kill his own compatriots. But at the same time, he also has the right to choose at any time. Unfortunately, he himself never realized that the blockage in his heart led him to a path of no return. The dual identity of the sniper An Yuyun in the film is developed from her family background. It turns out that the family who was separated from her back then is the leader of the pro-Japanese businessman, and her twin sister is about to marry Japan. officer. It is a pity that until the moment when the assassination mission started, she was still in the dark until she saw the woman who looked exactly like herself, but dressed in gorgeous clothes, lying on the ground and looking at her, the terrorist "sister" in horror. Only then did she know that she had her own biological father among the targets of her assassination in the same car as the high-ranking Japanese officials. The addition of such a plot makes the heroine of the film more complicated. She is no longer a single-handed sniper, but an ordinary girl with a family story and blood ties. As for how she would face such reality and choice, she herself knew very well, but the bondage of family affection really made her painful. The most Western-style Hawaiian Pisto in the film can be said to be the biggest highlight and key figure in the film. His joining, first met An Yuyun in a coffee shop, which paved the way for the future encounter between the two. But at the moment he followed the assassination team and raised his gun, he found that he was facing the muzzle of An Yuyun, who was wearing the yellow scarf he personally gave away. After that, the drama Sudden changes in the situation, the failure of the assassination mission, the loss and serious injury of the team members, and the slim chance of completing the mission all put everyone in a difficult position. Faced with An Yuyun's persistence in carrying out the mission, Hawaii Pisto changed from a mercenary killer to a member of the Independent Army. This seems to be no suspense, but it is still a tangled choice. After all, they all know that South Korea will not become independent after killing these two targets. They are just using their lives to warn the Japanese, South Korea. People have not given up, have not surrendered, as long as there are people alive, there will be resistance. In the development of such a complicated, tangled and heavy story, the film also arranges several funny characters to adjust the atmosphere, one is a member of the assassination team: the rapid-fire gun, played by Zhao Zhenxiong. One is Hawaiian Pisto's assistant: Pomadou, played by Wu Dal-soo. As soon as they appeared in the film, their burdens kept shaking, and the timing of the rescue was also just right, making the film a full line in line with the level of screenwriting of Hollywood blockbusters. Questions around the end of the assassination So far, there are not many spoilers about the film, just one sentence, not as simple as you think. The highlight is that the epilogue is closely tied to the theme, and the whole film is ended with the completion of the assassination mission, rather than the conventional logic of revenge and the bad guys will be judged. And this ending also more profoundly analyzes the true meaning of "assassination". This is a mission that will never end. It is a mission related to time and life. As long as the executor is still alive, no matter how long it takes, he will The execution continues until the death of the target. In that era, every young man had the most precious and only two things that he had, his own life and time, and they gave all of their own. With this ending, the whole film is closely linked to the main line of "assassination". Through the interweaving of several assassination mission lines, the fights between the characters, the righteous choice of personal life and death and the survival of the country, this historical feature film has no fiction and sense of emptiness. And the Korean actors have also contributed their outstanding acting skills. I have to mention that Jeon Ji-hyun changed his image as a silly eldest sister, reduced his expression, but was not stiff, but a good interpretation of a rustic girl born in the army: emotional, focused, persistent. The end of the warm memories of the film is even more reminiscent of the last scene in "The Wind". As such a film commemorating the 70th anniversary of the victory of the anti-war, the film presents the evils of fascism in several powerful strokes, and bears the fate of the protagonist for the suffering of people from all countries. People deeply feel the heavy pain and the preciousness of pursuing freedom. Young people in each era have different missions, and movies let us always remember that in the war years of the last century, generations of young people dedicated their best time to the War of Independence. To my country and people. This movie will not make you cry, but it will make you feel like a knife. This movie won't make you stunned by filming, but it will make you happy. This movie will not keep you awake at night, but it will impress you. Looking forward to the film’s release in mainland China in September, this film will let people see 19 billion won, which is equivalent to 100 million yuan in film production. As for whether there are gaps and learning from each other, it is up to more viewers. To find out. August 19, 2015 Xiao Xuan Er Ji——————————————
