"The Insider", easily "flammable" and "violent"

Since the film was released in South Korea, it has broken several records in a row:
South Korean domestic "19 banned" movies broke the record of one million viewers the fastest.
South Korea's domestic "19 Ban" movie has the highest number of moviegoers in its first week of release.
The extended version of "The Insider: The Original" became the first extended version of the Korean film to break the million-view mark.
The total number of viewers of the two versions exceeded 9 million, breaking the record for the highest box office record of 19 banned films in South Korea held by "Friends" for 15 years.
In Korea's largest portal NAVER, the netizen score is as high as 9.05, and the expert score is 6.63. It is very pornographic and violent, and it is the most evaluation of this film by people who have seen it.

Looking at this article, it's hard not to look forward to it, but after reading it, I don't think it's as good as 9 points, but the overall viewing experience is still relatively smooth, there is darkness, there are yellow storms, burning There are also.

The story of "The Insider" is not complicated, with a single line, and Han Ying of the dark department has always spared no effort to get out of the black. The chaebols, politicians, and the media are all in a mess; money, power, and public opinion are all in one. Corruption and bribery, black money politics, erotic transactions, buying and killing murderers, kidnapping and intimidation, looking for a scapegoat... Dirty methods are used to the extreme, but on the surface they are still dignified, full of hypocrisy, and sanctimonious. The former "insider" thugs would cook the rabbits and kill the dogs as soon as they had a different heart, and become a slaughtered and abandoned son to seek revenge. The young prosecutor with blood and justice is about to make some achievements to prove that the grass-roots background also has a bright future. The two hit it off and jointly staged a good show of "the former insiders set up the situation against the water, and the former outsiders took the opportunity to enter the game and broke the game in one fell swoop". Finally, the filth is cleared, which is very pleasing. In the middle part of the story, except for the two people's procrastination about teaming up or not teaming up to express their feelings for a while, the rest of the story is very neat. Although the pornographic part is 19 banned, the scale is actually acceptable.

In the actor part, Li Bingxian finally bid farewell to the dispensable facially paralyzed muscular man in Hollywood blockbusters, and returned to his Han Ying's specialty. He also used this to sweep away the haze of previous scandals and make a comeback. This gangster, An Shangjiu, had smooth sailing in the early stage, suddenly fell to the bottom of the valley, and finally took revenge. Li Bingxian basically used his eyes to show the changes from smugness to patience and strategy to calm and ruthless. I was deeply impressed. There was a close-up of each of his two imprisonments. The first time was to report against the general, and all kinds of evildoers on TV were still alive and well. But the overall situation has been settled, An Shangjiu walked out of the cell and looked up at the sky, under the sunlight, he described how relaxed he was. There is no dialogue in the two scenes, and the emotions are abnormally in place. Unsurprisingly, Li Ying is scheduled to be nominated for Best Actor at major Korean film festivals this year. The last time I saw Cao Chengyou was a straightforward boy in "If Love Had Providence". He has been refined a lot over the years, and the character of the idealized main theme of the prosecutor is not full enough, otherwise he should have more play. The other three old guys are vicious officials, profiteers and black-hearted literati who conform to all the negative stereotypes in the minds of the common people, especially the editor-in-chief Li played by Bai Yunzhi, who is long-sleeved and good at dancing, cunning and cunning. You are hypocritical and you can't help being played by your uncle. It's too hateful.

It is said that the three-hour director's cut has explained a lot of previous situations, and the ending has also undergone a major reversal. There are a lot of "mystery-solving" content, so look forward to it.
