Talk about politics and emotions

Obviously, the biggest feature of this film is the brotherhood derived from opposing politics. To be honest, I have no interest in politics at all, and I don’t think Jiang Dongyuan, who is said to be handsome, is good-looking (that pair of eyes doesn’t appeal to me), but I can’t deny that this movie is pretty good, especially the scene of burning incense on the Mid-Autumn Festival. , very touching.
The plot is not described, let's talk about something else politically and emotionally. Marx said: Politics is the product of class society. This film makes good use of the unique element that North and South Korea are connected by blood, but secretly fight each other. In history, East and West Germany should be similar. Now that people are unified, what about the reunification of North Korea? Still a long way off. (But maybe it will be soon. Kim Er-one falls, and Kim San is not necessarily able to stand up. Then again, the situation of brainwashing in North Korea is really serious. Once this political consciousness of complete obedience to the party is rooted In my heart, it is difficult to understand. Just like the North Korean spy in this film, if he hadn't been brainwashed for a long time and slowly melted the ice with his heart, it would be difficult for him to change.) What about our Taiwan? Is it just around the corner?
The drama comes when family, love, friendship and political systems, parties, and interest groups collide. From this point of view, this play has actually fallen into a big cliché. There are enough stories about the two sides falling in love with each other during World War II, such as the Jewish girl and the German sniper in the recent "Inglourious Basterds". Anyway, cliché doesn't matter, as long as it's not bad, as long as it can be performed well, true and touching, the audience will buy it. From this point of view, the righteous brothers are still very successful.
Of course, I didn't give a five-star in the end not because the show itself was bad, but because of political factors. The film is clearly skewed towards South Korea, positioning the North Korean character as a brainwashed killer. Personally, I feel that if the political flavor is too strong or the inclination is too strong, it should be properly doubted and discussed. Although a movie is a movie, maybe I'm being too real, hehe, but it's up to others, if someone makes a movie that deliberately vilifies China, you will definitely give a discount in your heart, right? Although he is not interested in politics, people will eventually be affected. Patriotic and patriotic, isn't the country also a political concept? I admit that I don't like politics, but I still have to admit that I am patriotic. LOL (political teachers, if you have a wrong concept about politics, please don't criticize!)
