I'm really a fan of the "Resident Evil" series, "The Walking Dead" series, "Dawn of the Living Dead" and so on. I've watched almost all zombie movies.
I didn't expect to see "Train to Busan 1" at first, but I really cried when I saw the uncle's death. "Train to Busan 2" actually I didn't have much hope, because I'm not a fan of Korean dramas, so I've heard the name of the male lead, but I don't know how his acting skills are.
The beginning of "Train to Busan 2" is a sensational clip, of course, to pull the plot and explain the origin of the hero and heroine. But as an audience, it will only feel very abrupt. Although it has the effect of photographing the subsequent plot, the overall rendering of the atmosphere is too messy, and the protagonist does not have a supporting role.
Personally, I think the captain of Unit 631 and the villain commander did a great job. The little brother who distributes supplies—although he is only a supporting role in the supporting roles, and the character’s attributes are not clearly expressed, but he just symbolizes the ordinary person—the one who strives to maintain order, obey new rules, and wants to be in a chaotic world. The image of an ordinary person who survives (in short, I personally like him a lot). The supporting role, auntie, who was a taxi driver before, also played very well. It was very interesting to play with the sense of society and experience.
As for grandpa, it was actually played by the actor who played the boyfriend of Big Sister Sanshun in "My Name is Jin Sanshun", but now they are all starting to play grandpa. But it doesn't seem to be inconsistent at all, and the acting is really good. I was a little sluggish, and I didn't realize until the end that he was not the sisters' grandfather at all, because the heroine called him the mercenary chief, so in fact, the hero at the beginning ignored the heroine's call for help, but in fact, the grandfather is the mercenary chief stay. He came down to save the heroine and her daughter, and stayed with them as a grandfather for several years, trying to get in touch with a person named Jane, hoping to send troops to take them out of Korea.
Originally, when I saw that it was over with 20 minutes left, I felt bored and wanted to give it a 2. But the ending part is really good. The captain of 631 robbed the car and said that he would be a good citizen when he went to Hong Kong, and no one would know what he did. But driving the car into the boat was killed. In fact, there is no doubt that he will definitely be killed. He is still talking about Nice to meet you. He just can't wait for a new life. The picture of the rising sun rising on the horizon is also very beautiful, which is also a plus point.
In addition, grandpa died in order to save his sister's gun (this plot is more old-fashioned, but I still like this one for this film!), since grandpa saved them, he has been trying to contact the outside world, a little bit Obsessed state (keeps saying Jane, sending a helicopter, etc.). Then in the end, Jiang Dongyuan broke through his inner demon (the younger brother said that in order to protect himself for the so-called logic and the overall situation, he did not save others, but he felt guilty in the end), so he rushed in to save the heroine who was about to commit suicide. This place is also good.
Another thing that particularly touched me was that the heroine, as a mother, ended up crippled with a gun and killing zombies to make way for the hero who was holding his sister and ran with her to the place where the helicopter is. Mother's love is my weakness!
When she finally got on the plane, Jane told her sister that she could go to a new and nice place. The elder sister replied that the people where she was staying were not bad. Because in addition to zombies, the people around her are grandpa, mother and sister. personal understanding.
Although the ending is eye-catching (it's not very eye-catching, but it is the finishing touch compared to the rest of the film), the rhythm of the whole film is rather chaotic, like the fifth or sixth season of "The Walking Dead", and it has always been about human nature. Fighting and killing, grabbing territory and the like. And the zombies in Korea, I personally think the rhythm of the mutation is too fast. After a bite, they can run very fast and jump up and down. Personally, I prefer the "slow-paced" zombie style in Europe and America, because it is based on the setting of zombies. It's a walking dead with no brains and no thinking. It's really strange that the ability to act is too strong. This is the same as the zombies in "Dawn of the Living Dead". I remember that the zombies in "Dawn of the Living Dead" also like fireworks and other things, but I think it is too nonsensical, so I can only give three stars overall. Fortunately, Kong Liu didn't act in this film. There is a saying called cherishing feathers. Before I watched this film, I felt a pity that he did not participate in the film. After watching it, I felt rather glad.
