Master's Transnational Love

I believe that giving such a rating will attract many people's doubts. In various industries, the master is often not only a symbol of strength, but also a portrayal of the industry's mentality at that time. Having said that, we have to talk about China. The directors we currently admire are nothing more than Zhang Yimou, Feng Xiaogang and other directors (of course, it also varies from person to person). Looking back at these directors' creative careers in recent years, one can only describe them as impetuous. This mentality is not only manifested in the irresponsibility and cutting corners of the work itself, but also in the unlimited yearning for money and the box office. The same goes for masters, not to mention ordinary people like us? We scolded Hollywood's idiot hero movies, but gave away the money in our pockets without hesitation, because the gorgeous fighting scenes and glamorous characters' love entanglements are enough to make us forget our failures in the real world.
Snow Country Train, a movie with a polarized reputation, a movie belonging to Feng Junhao, and a movie with Song Kanghao. The reason why I didn’t mention other actors was just because I didn’t need them, just like soy milk with fried dough sticks, Coke and burgers, a perfect match.
In the history of film, there are countless such strong alliances, before Hitchcock Grace Kelly, and then Martin Sicoses Leonardo. The cooperation between Feng Junhao and Song Kanghao not only guarantees the quality of the movie, but also an opportunity for the two to improve each other. Only this time, Song Kanghao, who has become a supporting role, can no longer save the movie. He always tries to use his eyes in the movie. Convey anger.
Next, I want to talk about why I gave this movie such a low score. After all, Memories of Murder is a near-perfect movie. I never thought that people who can make movies like Memories of Murder would have failed.
First of all, let’s look back at the beginning. I emphasized the mentality of the film market. Here, Bong Joon-ho, as a representative of the Korean film master, undoubtedly reflects the current state of the Korean film market. It is no different from China. Commercialization is corroding. Hollywood’s success The temptation makes everyone confused, but also makes everyone infinite yearning. Co-productions, science fiction themes, heroes save the world, look at these elements, which is not Hollywood? Which point is not directed at money. The director is impetuous, the producer is impetuous, the market is impetuous, and the fans are impetuous.
The second is the plot. We are too familiar with the plot of monsters. Whether it is life crisis or Tomb Raider, there are certain explanations for the appearance of unreasonable monsters. In the list of Snow Country, the people at the end of a line of cars are advancing. The crisis encountered on the road turned out to be just the first few soldiers with no bullet guns in their hands. They are more like visiting a spring outing on a train, walking through differently one by one. The carriage, may I ask, is this purely showing off the artist's strength?
The last is the finale. Whether the protagonist is persuaded or not, there are two endings. But no matter the ending, it is not convincing enough. It is unscientific to change a person's moral values ​​simply by preaching. What's more, the so-called betrayal is unfounded. The calm Curtis in the film just accepted the persuasion?
The most important bug is, why can't the train stop normally? Must it be destroyed?
In fact, to sum up, everything is unreasonable and all illogical is because there is not enough explanation and explanation in the film. Why? Is it because you don’t know? I don't think so. How can a director who can have different actors play murderers allow so many flaws in his films. I believe there is only one explanation, and that is impetuous.
We live in impetuousness, gradually adapt to impulsiveness, and fall in love with impetuousness, and then pretend to use a calm tone to evaluate others. Perhaps this is also a manifestation of impetuousness.
Where is the future of mankind? People who like to think go back to think about this question, but isn't the present also the future of the past?
