The story of the film is not complicated. During the Japanese occupation of Korea, birds of prey were hunted and killed. Finally, there was only the last tiger left in North Korea. The tiger was regarded as the "Shanjun" in North Korea. He was born with one eye and had a huge size of up to a thousand. Therefore, the Japanese army used hunters to offer a reward to hunt and kill.
In the story, there is an unusual relationship between Feng Feng, who has already washed his hands and quit the hunter industry, and Da Hu. In his early years, Feng Feng killed Da Hu's mother, but he took more care of Shan Jun, who was still young. Many years later, in a roundup, Feng Fengde accidentally killed his wife, and later recognized that the prey he rounded up was Shanjun, who was released many years ago. Therefore, he was grateful for the reincarnation of all things, washed his hands, and lived in peace with his young son. Unexpectedly, the Japanese army was besieging Shanjun, and the young son joined the roundup team with himself on his back, but unfortunately was injured by Shanjun, and eventually died in the mouth of the wolf, and the body was returned by Shanjun. Shan Jun was also seriously injured in an encirclement and suppression operation. Feng Feng took out his old shotgun to find Shan Jun and understand the grievance.
The actor Cui Minzhi still gave a textbook-like performance. The special effects were also mentioned earlier. If you get a perfect score of 5, you can definitely give it more than 4 points. However, because there are too many foreshadowing in the front, the progress of the play is slow, and the time for the final climax is not long. many. In addition, in terms of plot setting, Shanjun may be given too much meaning, resulting in the existence of Shanjun almost like a god, which makes it too easy to play at times, but this is also a major feature of Korean movies. If it is said that the Japanese are hard to beat in the polishing of the details of things, then the Koreans' extension and deep reflection on the perspective of a thing is worth learning. For example, in Korean dramas, in order to satisfy Asian women's imagination of treating their partners, they try in many ways. For example, the most popular "You Who Came From the Stars" some time ago, some people joked that this drama is a milestone in Korean dramas, because this drama gave birth to a new kind of boyfriend-alien male friend. After infatuated men, domineering presidents, warm sunshine men, black-bellied men, and long-legged Oppa have gradually been unable to meet the demands of women for their partners, Korean dramas can think of aliens. We should think carefully about why Korean dramas can firmly capture the attention of the majority of women. Compared with the portrayal of women and the setting of male partners in domestic TV dramas, is it that we are too lacking in thinking about how to write scripts from the perspective of women? Characters are set.
The film "Big Tiger" can also explain why Korean films, which used to lag far behind Hong Kong films, have advanced by leaps and bounds over the years. Both in terms of genre and depth of thought, Hong Kong-made and domestic-made films are now far apart far. Many articles have also analyzed this issue, but after reading "Big Tiger", I deeply feel that many things may be different from the bones and ideology.
There is clearly a sense of national pride of the Korean nation in "Big Tiger". It can be said that the Korean people's sense of national identity and honor to the country is much higher than that of other countries. The self-identity is completely integrated into their culture and blood. On the one hand, we can see the people's perception of culture, The heartfelt love of nations, on the other hand, makes them more likely to be narrow-minded and arrogant. At the same time, South Korea's geographical location and history make them worry about the reality and the future.
Reflected in the movie, we can see that Dahu Shanjun has a tenacious spirit of unyielding power, but at the same time, the real people reflect the weakness of the nation in the precarious situation. The film does not deliberately whitewash the strength of the nation. Although the spirit pinned on the tiger is clearly the spiritual sustenance of the nation in times of crisis, it also clearly understands the crisis faced by this nation and the annihilation of humanity. It is this clear understanding of finding their own cultural and spiritual roots that enables Koreans to better examine themselves and things from different perspectives when shooting, and find the cultural logic and spiritual sustenance that belong to their own nation. .
Perhaps domestic films are not lagging behind in technology, talent, or culture. We may be behind because of our intelligence and our speed. We did not stop to take a closer look at our nation, culture, and spirit. We have always set our sights on others, learning from the United States, Japan, and South Korea. These are just means. More importantly, we may find our own cultural logic and spiritual sustenance.
Maybe one day we don't shirk our inaction to that game, and that's when we really start the journey of finding the roots of the movie.
