"Haeundae": There is no disaster, only running account



text / nine string Ri









I have always not very cold for drama, can not afford prolix and slow rhythm of sensational nauseating, but also really admire his style but always just as immutable cater The audience's taste, especially for the Chinese audience, can't tell who has a higher or lower IQ than the other anyway. For example, "watching and watching" and so on, a few minutes of trivial life can be talked about and turned into a long novel. No wonder it can be filmed and then afraid of acting again. The unit of measurement from "day" to "monthly child" is no longer a set. It's almost "year". I really can't understand how boring and idle those friends who stick their butts on the sofa all day chasing after watching. It's not that I don't understand, it's that the pace of life is too slow!



"Haeundae" is exactly what carries the Korean drama's life and people-friendly. It doesn't talk about virtual disasters such as monsters and aliens attacking the earth, but the realism exists in the tsunami around you, me and him. Since it is a common man, the ordinary life is just assorted things as big as sesame and mung bean. Naturally, there is no theme that can be carefully carved and deliberately highlighted. Therefore, the first part of the film should be said to occupy nine-tenths of the space, and the long-winded performance of the seven aunts and eight uncles is nothing more than adding some savage girlfriends, abandoning wives and children and so on. Especially the cliché passages that are actually bland and tasteless. If placed elsewhere, this is definitely the big-screen version of "watching and watching", and the purpose of this film is only to highlight the sudden arrival of disaster and use a dull atmosphere to obtain a strong contrast effect. Although the film also deliberately copied a bridge that Brosnan kept warning but did not pay attention to in "Cracked Earth", but because of the lengthy "premium", it became boring, leaving only the jerkyness of the fake Dakong. The suspense is gone, what about the tense conflict.



Korean film and television dramas have always had a good attitude of patience, especially romance films, which can definitely magnify and maximize this glorious tradition. In fact, I still like watching Korean movies. The reason is very simple and a little obscene. There are many beautiful women in Korean movies, although most of them are acquired the day after tomorrow. Besides, the existence of the grading system and the openness of the Korean cultural field, in all kinds of films, you will always see stars with hot bodies and happy faces who generously show off their beautiful and tall bodies. Dedicated many times to the incomparable passionate scenes, how can the first-line stars take off their clothes without the temptation. Ha Ji Won and Yan Zhenghua in this film are such actresses that I like, and the director of "Color Is Empty" has worked hard to create them. It is estimated that under unknown circumstances, they can hit the weakness of many niche people like me.



It's nonsense, of course, it will not satisfy my dirty wishes. This film is known as the first disaster blockbuster in the real sense of Korean film history. This is the biggest point of the film. Since it is a disaster film, whether the grand scene of the disaster will be shocking or not is the highlight. This is a technical job. In recent years, the development of Korean films can be said to be smooth sailing, especially in computer special effects production, which has almost reached the world's top level. The previous "Flag of Tai Chi" and "The Monster of the Han River", which were popular in Asia in the past two years, all make people admire South Korea. The special effects of the movie are excellent. Although "D-WAR", which entered Hollywood, lost a complete mess, but also shouted the courage to challenge the American sci-fi blockbuster with the production of CG stunt pictures. The strong technological advantages of the neighbors have really touched the heartstrings of the Chinese film industry. Taking "Assembly" as an example, more and more Chinese films have begun to seek help from South Korean production companies.



Although the behind-the-scenes production of "Haeundae" used the special effects team of the Hollywood disaster blockbuster "The Day After Tomorrow", the shocking and magnificent scenes of the earthquake and tsunami in the movie have not been particularly strong, and even a bit of going through the motions. It was flooded with a large wave curtain that was N meters above the plane, which only visually informed the coming of the disaster, and only showed the chaos of the crowd as birds and beasts. Maybe it's a technical reason, maybe it's a financial consideration. In fact, the director didn't plan to use the special effects scenes that "disaster films" depend on to cater to the audience. The previous so-called publicity was at best a gimmick. The director knew that "The Day After Tomorrow" couldn't be beat in the puzzle scene, so he turned to the disaster as the background to play warmth.



The emotional expression between people in disasters will always be unforgettable for a long time, and the director's intentions can not be described as bad intentions. The tsunami is ruthless and human beings have feelings. This is the director's greatest ambition to abandon the impact of the audience's heart with visual effects. As a result, the movie had a bit of the shadow of "Titanic", grabbed the tail of "The Monster of the Han River", and put it on himself, but it was tasteless. Just because the rhythm of the movie is too wordy, and a few clues are too common, and as the selling point of the movie-disaster, it has become a dispensable background for the story. In other words, the film did not sublimate the emotional conflict between people and people when the tsunami came, but instead put the stories that were hard to move in real life into any framework that could be called a background. Whether it is a disaster or something else, it will happen as it should have happened. It has nothing to do with the disaster. Everything is a normalized comment without any conflict at all. The emotional world of ordinary people is not unimpressive, and the human nature highlighted in the face of disaster will also be impressive, but the development of clues should always have full emotions from beginning to end, rather than the accumulation of emotions and disasters in a running account. .



There is a line in the movie, which seems to boast that Haeundae is an international tourist destination. To be honest, many people should not understand it before watching the movie. Whether the relevant Korean authorities want to use this to increase their popularity is unknown. . Even if the film makes a contribution to the local tourism market, at least in the film it should allow the audience to enjoy the beautiful scenery and appreciate the special tourism scene there, but the result is very disappointing. A sea like nowhere else, an ordinary sandy beach, and then a bunch of bikinis you can also see in the swimming pool. I don’t boast, and I fool myself and the audience. In this case, the place where the story takes place is defined as a tourist location and the title of the film is the name of the place. Is it just to prove that disasters are more destructive to places with many people? What is the meaning of "Haeundae"?



I don't understand the real intention of introducing this film. Is it to use the momentum of "The Monster of the Han River" to create another brilliant box office? In the film, the scientist said the words of the Wenchuan earthquake, and I suddenly realized that the emotional film is to exchange the sympathy and resonance of the Chinese audience, and the dubbing is Chinese, and it is difficult to tell whether it is the lines of the film itself or the Chinese-style transformation after the introduction. From this point of view alone, the purpose of this film is unclear, and it seems like a coincidence. Fortunately, the film does not show too much the tragic situation of the disaster, otherwise it will end up with the malicious name of exposing people's scars.



It is said that the director is the Korean version of Feng Xiaogang, which shows that his humorous skills in the Korean film and television industry cannot be underestimated. There are often some strange "humor" in Korean films, such as ugly and fat female characters pretending to be in spring, such as some wretched male images with exaggerated and distorted expressions and wide-open body language. In short, some characters are clear as soon as they appear. It contrasts with the identity of the protagonist, and it is not surprising to see it too much. The film also cannot escape the stereotypes. It is difficult to call it "humorous" by relying on a fat woman and a loafer to gag and adjust the grief caused by the disaster.



The disaster scene is not shocking, the emotional conflict is not touching, the scenery is not, and it is funny and vulgar. The overall clue of the film is to eat, chat, fall in love, and then disaster comes, and then eat, chat, fall in love... There are no more than ten scattered in the theater. In the audience, the girl next to her was holding a tissue in her left hand and a handkerchief in her right hand, crying and laughing for a while. It could be said that she was out of breath and out of breath. If the sound effects of the theater were not too strong, everyone in the room could hear her strong and powerful voice. A clear sob. I can only sigh that any film will find its own audience. To be honest, when I watched the movie, my heart was really sour because I remembered the scene of the Wenchuan earthquake. Without this movie, as long as it is about the disaster, I should be moved or moved, and I will cry when I think about it. Taiwan" is irrelevant.



After watching it, eat, sleep, "boom" the earth exploded (I'm not a crow's mouth), I survived, I still go to the movies, eat, sleep. If it’s still like this when it’s made into a movie, it’s enough to think about it. Do you still watch it?
