Here I try to assume that a message that the movie "Sea Mist" wants to convey is that the heroine Hongmei is a woman who bravely pursues a new life, and because of this, she can become the only person who has come out of the sea fog.
Hongmei, a Korean girl in China, under the age of 26 (2), said she wanted to find her unidentified brother and embarked on the road of smuggling.
Smuggling to find your brother?
I think that's only part of the reason, not her real motive for smuggling. The following is my own assumption about Hongmei’s psychological activity experience:
my brother has been to Korea for 6 years, and there is no news so far. There are three possibilities: my brother died; Yes, do not want to contact poor family members. "I" believe it is the last case. Although it was during the Korean financial crisis, South Korea, as the four tigers in Asia, can earn three times as much as its hometown. That’s why so many people, regardless of the danger, boarded the boat to South Korea one after another. "I" am going to Korea. Taking 10,000 steps back, even if I can't rely on my brother, "I" can live better.
The real motive of Hongmei's smuggling is to start a better new life!
Described in this way, it seems that the heroine who looks innocent and innocent looks very scheming. When she didn't see the boat that was about to get on, Hongmei fell into the sea in a panic, thanks to Dongzhi for saving him? Well, Hongmei, who had just started the smuggling trip, was flustered and a little clumsy, but she was always sober, even a confused girl on the surface, but a shrewd girl on the inside. Although she is young, she still understands worldly truth. She refused to enter the mechanical room alone at first, because she felt that it was more dangerous to leave the group of stowaways and be alone. She saw that Dong Zhi was kind to her, gave him food, and made a quilt. She was also wary, and asked Dong Zhi face to face if he wanted to take advantage of him. She could understand the smuggling elder sister's ridicule to her, and she tactfully avoided the topic. When Hongmei saw the crew dismember the body of the stowaways, she was able to control herself and not be discovered. When she realized that her life was threatened, she knew how to take the tools to protect herself and protect herself to the maximum extent.
Hongmei's relationship with Dong Shik, the male lead, is the only emotional line in the movie. The hero saves the beauty, and the classic romance begins. When we are all looking forward to the end of the "Titanic"-style love that will never change, the director left us with a "thank you" from Hongmei and the clarity of her going into the distance. footprints. I think to a certain extent, the relationship between Hongmei and Dongzhi is more like an investment than love.
Dong-sik's impression of the heroine should be that he is young and handsome, warm-hearted (saved himself), has a good impression of himself (sends food and drink, asks about cold and warmth), and is straightforward (when asked if he is trying to do something wrong, he can answer frankly). "Dong-sik is the only person on the boat who can maintain a good relationship!"
Dong-sik, a fisherman with only his grandmother at home, has special expectations for his family. Looking at the chaotic lives of other crew members, Dong-sik has a strong desire to protect his women and build a happy family. So when Hongmae said that she was going to entertain herself to her "home" in Seoul, Dongzhi fell into a "love trap" by herself.
The deepening of the relationship between Hongmae and Dongshik was triggered by seeing the captain kill the engine room chief, and the two hugged each other out of grief and fear. At this time, it is a gorgeous and romantic point of view to say that the two are in love with each other and private life. And I think this is more like an investment that Hongmei wants to survive, which is similar to the smuggling eldest sister who devoted herself to staying in the machine room. Sure enough, Hongmei's "investment" paid off. Later, Dongzhi had the idea of saving his life and protecting Hongmei. Males have an innate attachment to privatized resources. Hongmei also knows that her investment has paid off, "Dongzhi is my life-saving straw, a floating circle in the sea!" That's why she insisted on shouting Dongzhi's name after being discovered by the crew, instead of seeking authority. Captain in hand don't kill her. "Dong-sik, it's time for you to fulfill your promise, Dong-sik!"
After being able to get rid of the deckmaster without killing himself, he called Dong-sik to "let's go home together", and it is impossible to say that Hongmei has captured the hearts of the people and turned the situation around. talent.
In the end, with a strong desire for life and a fiery expectation for a new life, the strong-willed Hongmei wakes up earlier than Dongzhi. She is grateful to Dongzhi, but she is only interested in participating and arousing her self-confidence. Between Dong Shi, who had an association with the horror experience on board, Hong Mei chose a new life without hesitation and escaped from the sea fog!
Dong-sik can only be a supporting role in Hong-mei's life. For the next six years, Dongzhi should have been looking for a lover in Guro District, Seoul, where Hongmei said he was going. He was no longer a wandering fisherman, but he could only do 3D bottom-level work at a construction site. Dongzhi's life seems to be frozen in the sea fog, and he has no ability to move towards a new life like Hongmei.
At the end of the film, it seems that the reunion of Dong Shik and Hongmae is vaguely displayed. Looking at Hongmei, who has sons and daughters, his dream of forming a happy family with Hongmei is realized by another man, can Dongzhi realize that the Hongmei he is looking for is just a phantom in the sea fog? And the real red plum has broken through the sea fog and is born in the sun!

* Reason for commenting on Samsung: For the heavy topic of "smuggling", only bloody violence, the irritability of the bottom laborers and the Sex-hungry, I feel that the film still doesn't have the power to expand the thematic complexity, hit the core of "human nature" accurately, and leave a deep impression.
