The vicissitudes of Cui Minzhi’s face in the poster is very suitable for the role of Monte Cristo. In the opening of the movie, he hunts in a suit and stands on the roof in a dignified manner. This is affirmed. Korean movies are always cold and ruthless. Princess Aurora is one of them. Good example. In the next few minutes, the seemingly irrelevant drunken nagging almost consumed all the patience of the person. In the phone booth on rainy night, this drunken show disappeared inexplicably, leaving only a pair of pure white wings to be given to her daughter.

It’s hard to imagine how hatred would imprison people for 15 years. Only with the TV, he learned the whole world from that small screen, and from that small screen how the original world fell apart, and the ants gnawed. Crawling out of the body with flesh and blood, it was all his loneliness, hatred and madness. In 15 years, Diana became a princess and her beauty disappeared. At the countdown to the millennium, An Zhenhuan kissed his ring finger. That picture was everything he knew. The chopsticks are getting shorter and shorter, the ink marks on the hands are getting more and more, and the fist practice is getting more and more powerful. Seeing that Monte Cristo is about to complete the process of phoenix nirvana, start a wonderful revenge. He was released inexplicably.

Get money, get beautiful women, get clues, and even the mastermind behind the scenes also shows up. But the biggest mystery still hasn't been solved. What kind of hatred kept him detained for 15 years, and the melancholy Prince laughed teasingly: "Vengeance is good for your health. As long as you don't solve this mystery, you will never be freed. "

OLD BOY turned out to be not an old boy, but an old alumnus. All the clues unfolded one by one. The road to revenge for both suffering and happiness seems to be coming to an end. A little curiosity in that young age, the few words that were accidentally leaked, the small things that left no trace in the memory, buried his wife, his daughter and his friends, and 15 years of life. But it doesn’t matter, all this will end, the vicissitudes of life will be handsome and cool to correct this twisted track, "Laugh, the whole world will laugh with you. Cry, the only one in the world crying"

Only the prince smiled and corrected him. You asked the wrong question, so you found the wrong answer. At this point, the plot turned sharply. It turns out that Monte Cristo is not an uncle. It turns out that it is all the revenge of others, and the gears of destiny give off a rusty grin. Park Chan Wook picked up the last thread, so we saw how perfect, how dense, and how cruel the net of revenge, Daxiu was just a desperate ant trapped in it, without the slightest hope, and could never be redeemed.

In contrast, KILL BILL is a pediatric revenge. The real cruelty is not created by cutting sashimi with a knife, but by pinching your heart with wet and cold hands, making you creepy. Sleep peacefully.

It is highly recommended.
