Seeing that the box office of "Incheon Landing Battle" in South Korea exceeded the 6 million mark, I was looking forward to it and finally I was looking forward to "The Battle of Incheon". "Incheon" was released in the United States, and I was so excited that I hurried to the cinema to see it. Although I know that on the day of the premiere on July 27, experts in South Korea gave very low scores, while the audience gave very high scores, which is polarized. After thinking about it, it is estimated that the differences are only in the film. The political and historical significance of this battle is different. read. However, I am so naive.
After reading it, although I didn't quite understand why the audience gave it such a high score, I deeply understood why the experts gave it such a low score. It doesn't involve the investigation and explanation of the political and historical background, just watching the movie itself, I really just want to swear: this is completely over-consumption of nationalism, and the whole film has no sincerity at all, yes, no sincerity at all.
The expectations for this film before watching it are at least a perfect eight. Two are divided into Li Zhengzai, and six are divided into war themes. Lee Jung Jae kept the two points, and I lost all the remaining six points.
When I saw the trailer at the time, I knew that the film itself was expected to be lower than expected. I admit that I had high expectations for war movies. Of course, I didn't expect the landing part of this film to be the same as the original landing in Normandy in "Saving Private Ryan". After all, the other party is Spielberg, and he It was a war scene where he was burning money with a lot of real money and shooting frame by frame. Because I have seen "The Flag of Tai Chi" directed by Kang Di-kyu in 2004, "The Day of Landing" in 2011, and "Battle of the Highlands" directed by Zhang Xun in 2011, I have a good understanding of the war movies that will come again in five years, especially the Korean War movies. higher expectations. It's been five years, so how can there be a better one? However, the reality is that my expectations were blinded in vain.
I don't think this movie is really a war movie. A war movie should have more than 20 minutes of war scenes in total. At least let others see that you are fighting a war. As for this movie, it is a film of nearly two hours. The first one and a half hours are all about x-ray intelligence and the battle on Palmi Island. In the last thirty minutes, I moved over and filmed the landing. To be honest, the landing is really called a It was horrible to see. The United Nations army fired a lot of cannons in the air (you can still see it there). After the cannons were fired, the signal popped up and it should start landing. Sorry, there was no scene of the soldiers landing on the beach. The scene where the frame flew over the head (the shot did not exceed five seconds?), and the film finally took about ten minutes to make a sensational ending, without war scenes.
Are you kidding me?
You can go to the Chinese Wikipedia and search for "Incheon Landing", which divides the Incheon landing into three different stages: "background", "campaign" and "result". If the movie is made, it is called the Inchon landing operation. No matter what you think, it should focus on the battle. And the result. If I were the director (please forgive me for being so shameless), I would shoot a film of one or two and a half hours, with the first pre-landing operation taking a maximum of one hour and twenty minutes, and the last thirty or forty minutes for the battle. , 20 minutes to give the result. Of course, the premise of this kind of filming is to have money. In
terms of returning, okay, director, if you want to shoot the battle before the landing, just shoot the battle. The key is that the two battles were really bad. Okay? The shootout in the restaurant I suggest that the director watch the wedding ceremony in "Assassination" and learn what a shootout is. And the director doesn't know if it's Jiang Digui's "The Taiji Flag Flying" too much. The whole film flew in slow motion, and the most important thing was that the time of the flight was wrong. Sitting in the cinema and watching almost a reserved movie, I felt embarrassed deeply on the screen. Then the climax of the two battles and The key part of the director's filming is bad, you can't feel the tension of the plot even if you look at the background music. The Battle of Palmido Island in the back is already a war scene, or a fight scene.
Next, let’s talk about the script. I don’t ask you to write the script with depth like other war movies, so that the audience can think about the meaning of war from the bottom of their hearts. Stop, that is the level of middle and senior grades. We primary school students wrote the story. It's good to see the ups and downs of the story. Ups and downs can be ticked, but the story has no pee point... This film itself is a huge pee point! ! ! (Can you feel my angry growl?) The
first pee spot, the character of Chen Shiyan. Putting female characters in war films to advance the key plot itself is very exclusive to me. To be honest, good war films don’t have many female characters and they don’t make much sense. Of course, if you want to make a war romance film like Pearl Harbor It's okay, we are 40% in love and 60% in war. The audience also likes it and doesn't get tired of watching it, but is the one between Chen Shiyan and Li Zhengzai in this film a loveline? Forget it, but there really aren't many emotional scenes, let's not forget Chen Shiyan holding Lee Jung Jae in her arms at the end and what is the matter of the life and death in front of her? Do you have to do enough for your love scene, or just don't do it? Inexplicably inserted in the love scene director, if you don't shoot some, you will die? Oh yes, I forgot that you were born in love dramas... By the way, the director's last film was "The Third Kind of Love" by Liu Yifei and Song Seungxian, so you don't need to search for the score, it's 5.2, you can feel it yourself Just a moment.
Well then again, second piss point, MacArthur. Liam Leeson's MacArthur, IMHO, really doesn't feel that way. To be honest, this character is too thin, really too thin. It felt like even Mr. Leeson pointed at the map twice in the preparations headquarters, and had a few mild disputes with his American colleagues. He stood on the bridge and looked down at the coast of Incheon, even the final landing part. Apparently it was shot in front of a green screen. Knowing that he is the master of Hollywood, so he can't invite others to run around, but he really feels like a friendship performance in the film rather than a real role. It should not be an acting problem, but a weak script setting and filming. But the acting skills are true. When I watched the movie, I felt that he didn't take the role seriously, but felt that he was confused. Anyway, he made money and left after filming. The feeling he gave me was that he was wearing a costume and was simply reading lines, um, more vocal Read the lines with love.
Oh yes, 30 minutes before the first two battles, I forgot to say that they were spy battles? Anyway, it was a trick to find the Hailei map, and then it took a lot of effort to find it and let a group of characters get a lunch box, and finally got the Hailei map. It's really funny... I think the director has a cannon in his head. Well, the filming may follow history, but I still want to say that the brain is a good thing, and I hope the director can have it too.
To be honest, the director wore a hat as big as the Incheon Landing Battle and made a very petty film. Students who want to watch the grand and powerful war scenes can wash and sleep. There are really no war scenes, only the few This picture is not comparable to the war drama filmed in my country's anti-Japanese drama. Students who are interested in the history of the Korean War can watch it with a playful attitude. Anyway, this film has too many discrepancies with history, and it really cannot be verified with history. Students who don't have any other idea is to watch Korean commercial blockbusters, please detour. This film is really not a blockbuster, and it is not at the same level as "Assassination", "Veteran", "Legend of Treasures" and so on. This film is only suitable for fans of all actors, oh yes, after all, I have two points of expectation for Lee Jung Jae, so let's talk about Representative Lee. When the movie was about to end, when my mother misunderstood, Lee walked away from his mother in the marching team with a smile on his face. However, the sun slanted on the face, and that scene was the highest in the whole film, over.

Finally, I sincerely look forward to Jin Zhiyun's "Spy" released in October, and Zhang Xun's "Taxi Driver" released in 2017. Then, if the Incheon Landing Battle is really 10 million at the box office, please allow me to sigh sincerely at the 2.9 million Highland Battle, which is unfortunately not released five years later.
