write a righteous brother

It is really hard to find a favorite Korean commercial film in the past two years. When the veteran was very popular, I always felt that it was almost meaningless. Like the earlier ones such as Suspect, Gangnam, Twenty, etc., there were always more or less. There are a few shortcomings, and if there are shortcomings, it is not enjoyable to watch. In recent years, art films seem to attract more and more people's eyes, and it seems that it is not so easy to find some interesting big productions with good reviews.
This smash hit six years ago is as comfortable as it gave me when I first started getting into Korean film. But the only bad thing about watching old movies is that it is hard to find beautiful translations. What you are listening to is one sentence, and the translation given by the subtitles is another sentence, so bad translation. At that time, the subtitles team could rely heavily on American TV dramas, not like now Han Fan is so delicious.
The righteous brother is really supersoul.
At that time, Jiang Dongyuan was full of drama. When I watched Tian Yuzhi five years ago, I didn't know him very well. Before I read the prosecutor's rumor, I found out that this brother is the righteous brother. Windfall.
Speaking of the prosecutor's rumors, the structure of the two films is very similar. The two male protagonists hardly involve female characters. The two people cooperate with each other, understand each other, separate from their respective systems, and then run in with each other, with twists and turns, and finally happy. ending. The prosecutor's rumor is more formatted, and the setting of step-by-step revenge in the prison looks more attractive. However, not working.
Afterwards, the director of the righteous brothers made another film about the North-South issue, which was also soft on the award. The director prefers to involve this type of subject matter, because the North-South issue is always a pain in the heart of Koreans, and there are too many film and television works in South Korea involving these things. This involves the political concept of movies. A movie always involves politics. No matter what kind of politics, it is impossible to break away from it and only talk about utopia. How to describe one's own point of view is artistic. The film does not directly touch the North-South issue, but takes the life and death of small people and family life as the cut-in, and uses the proposition of home to make movies. The previous secret and great movie was also a North-South issue, but the end of that movie was too cinematic, or imagined, unreal, and affected the previous part.
I have always believed that a good movie must have its own sense of rhythm. No matter what way to show this rhythm, rhythm is the line of filming. You can have one line or thousands of threads. In short, the line is How to swing requires the director's traction. As for the pacing of the film, it's his sense of humor. The humor of Koreans has always been amusing, and the actors in the film will all play pivotal roles in Korean films in the future, and they all have remarkable performances in the film. In the plot design, two people hurt each other, follow each other, love each other, a wretched uncle, a small North Korean agent, and Uncle Bing's cute performance, the most real feeling of a middle-aged person is presented to you, and there is The design of various action scenes and language lines, the sense of humor in these small details makes the rhythm more in line with the plot and more likeable. These humorous points are not disgusting, annoying, or vulgar. Many movies today have forgotten what humor is, and use disgusting and wretched garbage as humor. It is really disgusting, yes, yes, I mean Deng Chao.
The villain in the movie is also very successful. The villain appears twice in total, but each time it appears is the climax of the movie. One is to shape the contradiction, and the other is to solve the contradiction, which is a very coherent structure. Quan Guohuan is an old actor, even his voice is a play, and with a silencer gun, he smells the blood of massacre when he says something, and even his face is covered with glass ballast and he is about to die. Shoot and hurt each other. Reminds me of the old villain who has nowhere to go. He carries an air gun to hurt him everywhere.
The only thing I don't love about movies is something symbolic. I personally really hate symbolic stuff. It is naive to try to use one thing to represent a person, a place, a country. If you mention a thing, you know it's this place, and then use this thing to represent this place, I think it's too rudimentary. In the film, North Korea is shown symbolically, Vietnam is shown, and China is shown. I think this is part of the director's narrow vision. Any country is complex and diverse. For example, when Hollywood shoots China, Chinatown is inseparable, the red lights, and countless people. This is very boring. Chinese directors are sometimes better when shooting the United States. Of course, they were filmed for Koreans to see for themselves. His views actually represent the impression of most Koreans. If you want a commercial film to understand a country in depth, and then express it, it is too difficult, and it is not easy to attract more people. resonate. However, I still don't like this design.
The family, friendship and family and country feelings in the movie all make the movie a touch of romance and touching. People always want to be romantic, after all, the world is already very realistic.
