Reminds me of a very down-to-earth Korean disaster film Haeundae I saw a long time ago

"Haeundae" because I didn't read the introduction of the film carefully before, I thought it was a story about the 2004 Indonesian tsunami, the deadliest tsunami in history. After I went to the theater to watch it, I found that it was not, but a Korean disaster film.


At the beginning of the scene, an ocean-going fishing boat sailed to the Indian Ocean, but was swept away by a sudden tsunami. Helicopter rescued in the air. Due to limited time, he had to abandon one of the most trusted and respected elders, Yeon-hee's father. Then the picture changes, it is the summer of 2009, in the beautiful Haeundae, there are a group of people living a quiet life, and many tourists on the Haitan Bathing Beach.


The film rambles about the love stories of three couples of men and women in a very long space, interspersed with a mother's most selfless love for her son and the friendship of others. The relationship between the characters during this period made me vague and even dizzy. Sleeping until Dr. Kim's observations became more and more clear and gripping, in an instant, the big waves happened during the lovers' quarrel, the mother buying shoes for her son, the grandmother sending her grandson to kindergarten, and the development preparatory meeting of Haeundae.


I don't want to say before the movie or how bad the stunts are, Shi Tiesheng said: "Every single boring actor is because he always thinks the drama has nothing to do with him. Every unlucky audience is because of He was always sitting too close to the stage." When seeing the small human beings facing the panic of the huge waves and fleeing in panic, the marine rescue team would rather sacrifice themselves to save others. The pictures are complicated and complicated, attacking our senses and feelings.


At any time, a country cannot underestimate the power of nature. The safety of people's lives and property is paramount and most important. I appreciate and admire Dr. Jin Huijin's professional judgment and constantly plead for the people's orders. I detest the director who ignores the disaster and does not listen to Dr. Jin's advice.



In addition, people who live a quiet life in Haeundae have to sell their storefronts because of urban planning and development. Thinking of the planning and demolition of our city, they can’t help but sigh, why can’t urban planning be based on the actual interests of the people? The people are the foundation of the country.


If it wasn't for a disaster, no one would realize the value of family, love, and friendship. After watching the movie, I think we should always maintain a grateful heart and cherish the happiness around and in our hands. Otherwise, maybe one day, we will be Game over.
