I thought that only a country like Japan that has frequent earthquakes has a sense of crisis, but I didn't expect that South Korea is also full of tension now. The background of a disaster film like "Haeundae" is set in the summer of 2009. This kind of advanced assumption Really embarrassing. In order to highlight the authenticity of its story, the 2004 Indonesian tsunami and the 2008 Wenchuan earthquake have also become the latest historical materials of the film, in order to tell the audience that the next disaster is not a small case.

In fact, before watching the film, I was surprised that my friends were interested in special effects. He swears by the story itself and doesn't pay attention. It is not difficult to understand when you think about it. At present, there are only two points that are charging for the promotion of the movie, namely casts and special effects. So, regardless of whether the story is good or not, I will trick you in and hand over the money first. Whether it looks good or not, it is not one person who has the final say anyway.

In my opinion, if it is not a pure science fiction film, the special effects can only be the icing on the cake at best, not the only benchmark for measuring good or bad. Besides, Hollywood has already given the audience a rich experience in genre films. You change the form, but after all, you cannot escape the essence.

I'm sorry, I was too long-winded before, let's talk about the movie below. On the whole, the beginning of the film "Haeundae" reminds me to recall "Japan Sinking", which also uses a scientist as the starting point to quote and draw the context of this story. The first two-thirds of the time was paving the way for the final breakthrough point, and the main bridge section of the tsunami only lasted about 20 minutes. And there are also several different experiences of the protagonists in the middle, which is really hard to describe!

And I don't agree that some people view "Haeundae" as a special effects disaster film, because the special effects in the film only act as a catalyst for the emotional theme of the story, not the focus of the story.

It is undeniable that since Korean films made waves in the Asian and world film circles, telling about the relationship between men and women has always been their forte, although it has not yet reached the beauty and delicacy of Japanese textbooks. But for young audiences in China, it has already made a big impact.

In "Haeundae", three pairs of lovers appeared in sequence, including the most conventional "oppa" type (Korean girl's nickname for her brother), the divorced husband and wife type, and the hot men and beautiful women. The main content of the story also describes the emotional development of the three pairs of lovers, and the feelings between these three pairs of men and women of different classes are naturally the foundation of the whole story. I believe that no matter whether the scenes of the tsunami are wonderful or not, or the disaster is tragic. Is the picture shocking? What do you want to know most is how these couples end up? The emotional world of others is always strangely attractive to viewers, otherwise how can a celebrity's emotional gossip attract so much attention and talk, because we are guessing or being guessed by others in our daily life. This is a very interesting thing.

Of course, while focusing on emotions, the film effectively related the character background to the tsunami incident. The three male protagonists, a businessman who makes a living by fishing, a member of a maritime search and rescue team, and a The character is a geological expert, and the three heroines are more or less involved in maritime activities. Even if this kind of marriage seems a little blunt in some respects, it is reasonable and will not make people feel abrupt.

In addition, at the end of the film, the scenes of brave citizens who lost their mothers crying, the scenes of people collectively mourning for the rescue heroes, and the warm scenes of Xue Jingqiu and He Zhiyuan chasing the red silk scarves who escaped from the dead, also brought back the most authentic scene for the film. emotional home.

This is not a disaster movie, it is a romance movie at all. Even if it is about to hang up, the heart-piercing expression is not "I LOVE YOU For ever."
