"Veteran": an adult fairy tale where justice finally triumphs over evil

I don’t have many Korean actors who can be named, but after watching "Veteran", I think I might remember for the rest of my life the negative sentiments of the rich second generation to the rich second generation. Liu Yaren, an actor who all vented out of the hook.

In fact, I have always disliked the term "rich second generation", which is a typical phrase that kills a group of people in one shot. It's not wrong that Dad is rich. Others should spend and play, and didn't stop you from making money. Why should you say that others are not? I know some wealthy second-generation generations who are gentle, down-to-earth, and work in books. It's probably no different except that they have a higher starting point than us.

The kind of people who sneer at the mention of the rich second generation is probably like seeing the 50-year-old Aaron Kwok and the 27-year-old girlfriend show affection and indiscriminately scolding others as "scumbags". In fact, they may be "I have never talked about such a positive female vote in my life" and "I am also a positive girl, why my 50-year-old rich boyfriend is full of anger."

But in the face of the perverted Liu Yaren in this "Veteran", I, a self-reliant and rational person, began to bite his teeth with the rich second generation he played, so that the movie ended up in a fight scene in the downtown area and Huang Zhengmin hit him. I want to growl with every punch of's: good fight!

Having said that, my inner voice was that of political correctness in political campaigns: "violence with violence is not advocated hostility sanctions law will give him!!!"

Words to say yes, but if the executor of the law is to protect Where is the criminal?

Put a cigarette butt on your bodyguard’s neck, break someone else’s ankle if you can’t beat a boxing sparring partner, use a golf club to kill your dog when you’re in a bad mood, inject drugs into your pregnant girlfriend to force him to have an abortion, drive drugs crazy in the downtown area He even beat his father in front of the child like a sandbag, and twisted the child's head to show him the complete process... What if the law enforcer used the law to protect such a person?

Fortunately, there are always some stupid policemen like Huang Zhengmin in this world who, regardless of the promotion that may be ruined, braved the pressure from the bosses to go deep into the gray area hidden under the power and wealth, and finally at the end of the movie. The evidence of Liu Yaren's crimes was uncovered one by one, and the fig leaf that Qianquan was finally invisible was torn apart.

The ending of the movie is certainly applauded.

But this is often not the case in real life. In 120 minutes, what touched me most was what Huang Zhengmin’s wife said to Huang Zhengmin at the police station after rejecting the financial benefits of the new property:

"Do you know what I think is the most embarrassing thing? Be a brand-name bag? With a dozen banknotes piled up in front of me, I was shaken. I am also a human and a woman. Do you know?"

If the movie reflects the truth, then this movie should probably end here.

This is our real life.

Every one of us knows that there are such ugly transactions in this world, and we all dream of being an honest and honest person on campus. But a few years after graduating, I don’t know how many people can say with a clear conscience: I have a good life, I have not bowed to life and flattered.

In the morning, my friend sent me a paragraph that I wrote to myself when I just graduated from college:

"I just want to stick to my beliefs and my values. Being born in the present, I already feel content, and my parents don’t need me to worry about supporting them, honestly. I won’t be hungry at work. Why should I betray my original intention to immerse myself in this morbid society. I believe that the principles taught in anime, justice will eventually defeat evil.”

Looking back now, fortunately, I still agree. The original self: justice will eventually defeat evil.

What's sad is that I have found a reason for myself: justice will eventually defeat evil, but I may not be able to hold on to the end because of my wounds.

The plot of the whole movie "Veteran" is actually very simple. It is nothing more than an old-fashioned story of a stubborn lonely policeman who insists on investigating the case and picks out the chaebol.

Surprisingly, this movie turned out to be the domestic box office champion this year. I think, just like when we were crazy about Japanese hot-blooded comics when we were young, in the gray and depressed adult life, we too need such an adult fairy tale with fists and fists, happy and evil.
