After watching half of it, I stopped and ran to check the history of Korea during that period and discovered history. Not sexy at all. At that time, South Korea had no country, and the interim government established by independence activists went into exile. The government in exile will inevitably still have internal rights struggles. The people who really fought for South Korea's independence were all in a mess. There was no capital to be handsome. They really just had a lot of enthusiasm to kill them. In the end, South Korea was unable to gain independence by resisting on its own. After Japan surrendered, it was divided into the current North and South due to the conflict of interests between the United States and the Soviet Union. No matter how the politicians fight, the pain is the ordinary people. Even a small paragraph is inserted in "Ghosts". The young couples who are separated from the north and the south in this life are finally able to meet again on Huangquan Road. Ask if they are buried in the warmth. Place, tears burst to see.
I checked the history and then went back to watch the second half of the movie. I have a different mood. I can somewhat understand why South Korea chose it. Uncle Cake played the character's mentality change to the extreme. The persuasion of the bandits and the suppression of the Japanese superiors made him explode in the end. He just wanted to live well, not completely without conscience. When he found that it was difficult to get everything from wrongdoing, conscience. Only prevailed. That prison guard should be of the same kind. The characters played by Uncle Kong don't have so much room to play, but in the end, the smile with a ray of sunshine in the prison is still very moving.
