"The meeting will leave, and the going will return."

At the beginning of the year, I watched the first part of "Walk with God", which was released in South Korea in December 2017. The total number of movie viewers exceeded 10 million in 16 days, surpassing "Travel to Busan" and Song Kanghao's "Taxi Driver".

I didn't expect to see the second film so soon, "Walk with God: Cause and Fate" was released in South Korea on August 1, 2018, and the total number of viewers exceeded 10 million in 14 days.

Here again, there are 51 million people in South Korea.

The same big production, big cast, big CG, big touch, the difference is that the first news of "Walking with God" was shot at the same time, and then there was news that the third and fourth parts of "Walking with God" were also shot at the same time. Started the preliminary planning.

At the end of March 2018, "Walk with God" was "prepared" for the release of the film on the mainland. With reference to films from other countries that were released on the mainland only one to three years after the initial release date, from an optimistic point of view, "Walk with God" There is still hope for it to be released on the mainland.

The golden supporting actor Oh Dal-soo, who was previously accused by the co-actress, deleted all the scenes in "Walk with God: Cause and Fate", and used a substitute actor for re-shooting.

The plot of "Walk with God 2: Cause and Fate" is immediately followed by the first "Walk with God: Sin and Punishment". The two movies are very related, so watching the second movie alone will cause confusion.

The patriarch played by Ma Dongxi, who appeared as an Easter egg at the end of the first film, played a key role in the second film and was directly upgraded to one of the protagonists of the film.

The first film tells the story of three hell messengers leading the nobleman through hell and finally reincarnation. The second movie uses the mouth of the house god "becoming a god" to tell the life experience of the three messengers thousands of years ago and the connection with the king of hell. .

The film is divided into a two-line narrative. On the one hand, the emissary leader played by He Zhengyu leads the nobleman to continue through hell and reincarnate. On the other hand, Cheng Zang Shen and the other two envoys protect the two grandparents in Xu Chunsan's home.

The nobleman led by the team leader is the younger brother of the first protagonist. Xu Chunsan also appears in the first film, and Xu Chunsan is also a neighbor with the mother of the first protagonist.

The open line is to continue to take the nobleman through hell to be judged and reborn, and the dark line is the origin of the three envoys thousands of years ago, and the film traverses back and forth during these thousand years.

From watching the movie to the later stage of the film, I thought the plot reversal of the film was a bit simpler. The ones that let me guess, the ones that were not allowed to guess, the twists and turns, deliberately broken and become fragmented, and that's it.

Unexpectedly, at the end of an Easter egg after the introduction of the actor, there was a big reversal directly, which opened up all the context of the film at once.

Jiang Lin, the leader of the beginning, lay in the snow, and King Yama asked questions. When the nobleman was formally tried, King Yama attended Jiang Lin's defense. Throughout the whole story, through the trial of the brother of the protagonist in the first part, the "crime and punishment" of Jiang Lin, the leader of the millennium, is described.

Kim Dong-wook, who played the nobleman in the second film, inherited the silly vigor of his "brother" Cha Tae-hyun. Although the fighting scenes in "Walk with God 2: Cause and Fate" have been reduced according to the first film, the film’s The big special effects, the big scene is still one of the best at present, it is the blockbuster in the blockbuster.

However, the appearance of upstarts at the end seems to make people feel that the pattern of the "Walk with God" series of films is a bit smaller.

When the mother of the first protagonist in the film reappears, Cheng Zhuang God and the two messengers say, "The meeting will leave, and the departed will return." I wonder what the third and fourth movies of "Walking with God" will bring. Surprise and touch.

Recently, a good friend is going to the south to develop his career. The motherland is strong and the transportation is convenient.

The coming day will be long.

    Compared with the previous episode, the surprise caused by the special effects is lower, and the story completion is very high (the line of Du Xiaoxiu is slightly weaker, but it is to set off their three main lines). The rhythm is reliable, the actors are awesome, I am The performance is quite satisfactory. Shuai is still handsome, but he was accidentally popularized by Zhu Zhixun (I watched him several times recently). The long and painful death of others caused by the difference of one's own thought really hits my pain point and will cause reflection. It feels a little bit bloody to see the last place near the easter egg. But the biggest problem of the film is that the footage is too fragmented. It cuts to whoever talks about it. The small horizontal shift is up to three seconds, and there are too many paragraphs like cutting a person at once. It looks very uncomfortable. I don't know if it is the reason for the special effects. Anyway, this kind of unimaginative lens performance is really a drama and annoying. On this point, it is worse than the previous one, I hope the third one can be better.
