This new film has gorgeous technical standards, rich acting performance, and a disgusting title.
1. Photography and editing plus chicken legs
First of all, I affirm the painstaking efforts of "The Wicked Girl" in photography and editing. In terms of these two technical parameters, it has the physique to be nominated for the Korean Film Awards or to win a cup.
In particular, the opening first angle of view is seamlessly spliced with long shots, and the CS-like sense of substitution is considered a bold innovation within the scope of Korean films, and it deserves a round of applause.
I thought about it, Sook-hee (Kim Ok-bin) had at least one Steadicam spot on him during filming, and the process of finishing this scene should have been difficult.
Because the plot is interspersed with flashbacks, the progress and control are stable and not chaotic, which brings about twists and turns, and suddenly such a look and feel, editing has done a lot of technical assistance for this.
2. The plot needs you to hack the
"Wicked Girl" and it involves China, whether it is a crime or a vicious one. As a Chinese audience, you can ignore it and take it as a plot need. After all, Han Ying is black about everything, so let's be confident. Great China is not afraid of your material, but it's the same old suggestion: Can you find a voice actor who speaks Chinese fluently?
Another plot element outside of China is the National Intelligence Service of South Korea, the South Korean National Intelligence Service, which is equivalent to the CIA in the United States. At the same time, like the CIA, it has been featured in the drama many times as a dark organization.
In fact, the filmmakers, like the audience, believe that those high-ranking and mysterious institutions, under the cover of the work surface, always have some shady activities.
For example, combating international crimes is indeed one of the superficial responsibilities of the National Intelligence Agency, but to set up such a large training base for killers is behind the scenes. Anyway, there is no real hammer.
In essence, the film is a dark organization that destroys another dark organization. The unfortunate one is Shuxi, who is calculated by both sides - a woman with great kung fu, but also bitterness and infatuation.
3. This uncle is very cold
. From the French-American film "This Killer Is Not Too Cold", the American-French film "Lolita", to the Korean film "Lonely Agent", uncle VS Lolita girl, always sparks.
Jin Yubin in "The Evil Girl", from a young girl to an adult, standing in front of her and protecting her is the uncle Shin Ha Kyun.
Even married her - this is simply the gospel of uncle Lolita.
How fast the dog food comes, how ruthless the dog blood comes.
When Shin Ha Kyun rescued Jin Yubin, I made up for the touching words that Jin Sae Ron said to Won Bin in "The Lonely Agent": Agassi, you are here to save me, right? right?
Jin Yubin didn't say such a thing, and Uncle Shin Ha Kyun naturally didn't need to answer.
Then... the plot line reversed, at the cost of sacrificing the emotional line.
I don't want to use sadness to describe it, this is not sadness, but a confused collapse, and I can't get it back even if I try to fix it.
4. Jin Yubin's acting
killer, actor, woman in love, daughter's mother, etc., Jin Yubin in "The Evil Girl" has changed multiple statuses, which requires her to be retracted and played in real time and presented in a fast-paced manner. performance, but also have to entangle each other in the heart. ▼
The performance is quite difficult, especially with so many action scenes.
At the end of the day, Jin Yubin has done a good job - whether or not she can win the actress award, I personally like her acting skills.
5. The title of the film that must be
complained, whether it is the Korean title "악녀" or the English title "The Villainess", all point to the large cursive Chinese characters in the original poster: evil girl.
Before I watched the film, I felt that the title of the film was simple, direct and very attractive.
After watching the film, I deeply feel that the title of the film is vulgar and blunt, and it is quite straight male cancer.
Just want to ask: who is the evil girl? Why is it called "bad girl"?
The first question is easy to solve. Obviously, the heroine Shuxi is a bad girl; if you expand it, the female killers trained by the National Intelligence Agency in the secret base, together with the base leader (Jin Ruiheng), are all bad girls.
Then the question arises:
——Whether it is the Dark National Intelligence Service or the Shin Ha Kyun criminal organization, which gang is not evil?
——The originally innocent and kind little girl, her father was killed in front of her eyes, and she fell in love twice and was deceived. Who set up a plan to make her embark on the road of revenge and killing? Are female perpetrators named "wicked girls"?
——If the female killers in the secret base of the National Intelligence Agency are all "evil girls", which one is not imprisoned by coercion?
Probably after the screenwriter finished writing and the director finished filming the story, he felt that these women were "wicked women", and then used 악녀/The Villainess/wicked women, three languages, to make a conclusion for her and them to die, not leaving the audience at all. There is room for judgment on the fate of the character.
Of course, the title of the film can define the plot, such as "The Rogue", "The No Sweat Party", "The Heyday of the Bad Guys", etc. The characters and behaviors in the film are indeed in line with the title of the film.
It's not right to use "The Evil Girl" in this way: the screenwriter has designed so much love for the female characters in the film, but moved a brick and a blunt "Evil Girl" to end it.
Even if you use a "Hit Girl"?
