The first thing to say is that this is one of the few films that I would like to write a review for a commercial film. Two hours and nineteen minutes without a pee point. This is "The Thieves," a Korean commercial film, which tells the story of a group of thieves trying their best to steal the treasure. Six skilled Korean thieves and four Chinese thiefs are not uncommon in Western films, but in Asia, there are few good gang dramas and wonderful thief-themed films.
By the way, I was watching the movie for Jun Ji-hyun at the time, and I knew Jun Ji-hyun because of her performance in "My Sassy Girl." Coincidentally, Jun Ji-hyun's old partner, "The Sassy Girl", also appeared in Taixian's car this year. A movie about thieves, "Gone With the Wind," The same theme makes the two movies give the impression that they are a bit like the Korean version of "Eleven Arhats." The difference is that these two movies are fashion movies, not period films. In terms of brilliance, I think "The Thieves," starring Jun Ji-hyun, is even better. In addition to the Chinese elements in the movie, I also appreciate the attitude of Korean filmmakers toward ridiculing themselves. In the lines, you will hear "Korea sticks" and "Korean women's faces are whole." These are self-deprecating little amusements. However, the Mandarin spoken by Koreans in the film is really unflattering. After reading the schedule, it is a pity that this film will not be released in mainland China.
At the beginning of the film, Jun Ji-hyun and Jin Hae-sook pretended to be mother and daughter, and a lot of opposite scenes showed the good acting skills of the two generations of actresses. In addition to "Sassy Girl" over the years, Jun Ji-hyun's roles that have impressed me the most are the female reporter in "The Man Who Was Superman" and the female painter in Liu Weiqiang's "Daisy". This time, Jeon Ji-hyun's steel wire master, Yenicall, is sexy and playful. She is a steel-wire thief who will recklessly participate as long as there is "theft" and thinks the chips are more important than anything. The director said, "I met Jun Ji-hyun by chance before writing the script for 'The Thieves'. She is very charming and has her own unique way of expressing herself. Seeing Jun Ji-hyun laughing, talking, and acting, I began to imagine the character of Yenicall. image. The role of Yenicall is 100% enriched by Jun Ji-hyun's acting skills. There are a lot of Weiya action scenes in places five or six stories high. I used to worry about whether a woman would be able to complete it, but in the end, Jun Ji-hyun completed it very well. Excellent. This very energetic Yenicall, played by Jun Ji Hyun, feels like a rainy season for me. "
And Kim Hae-sook, known as South Korea's "national mother", finally did not continue to play her mother this time. It is said that the director finalized her role after watching the movie "The Bat". She played the role of Chewingum, an acting master who never left her mouth and used her excellent acting skills to deceive the other party's trust. Let's talk about Ren Dahua, who I like very much. He's a policeman, gangster, boss, thief, etc. He has created countless roles, especially in several films that he cooperated with To Qifeng on, which gave him more room to play. He can say that in "The Thief of the Years." Forbearance and loving father, the policeman in "PTU", can also be a member of the club in "Gunfire", "Exile", "Underworld", or a perverted Hong Kong man in "Night and Fog in Tianshui Wai", in "Wenque" He also worked as a professional pickpocket. This time, he played with a Korean actor, and he also showed a calm, very eye-catching role.
The younger actors, Kim Soo-hyun and Jun Ji-hyun, have a kiss scene in this movie. It is said that this is Jun Ji-hyun's first kiss on the screen in a Korean movie. In this movie, Kim Soo-hyun plays the role of a thieving rookie. His poem "The Moon that Embraces the Sun" made him very popular. This is the first time Kim Soo Hyun, who was born in 1988, has acted in a movie. "The Thieves" is director Cui Dongxun's fourth work. I only saw the costume movie "Tian Yuzhi" he made in 2009. This costume commercial blockbuster is a movie except for Jiang Dongyuan's handsome face. The visual blockbuster has been compared to Sword and Fairy in Korea. After watching his new work this year, I plan to look for his "Old Thousand" and "Seoul Robbery", and I shouldn't be disappointed.
Goryeo Bangzi's films will have new highlights every year. They can make commercial films so well, which is really worthy of our domestic filmmakers to ponder. On the other hand, the films released in domestic theaters are known for their strong casts, huge budgets, and high technological content. There are not a few, but what about word of mouth? People can laugh at themselves and have the spirit of entertainment to tell a good story to please fans. What about us? At the end of the year, there will be a feast for Feng Xiaogang's 1942 and Lu Chuan's King. I hope it will surprise us.
