love in conspiracy

I accidentally saw Park Chanyu remake "The City of Thorns", the Chinese translation is called "Miss", so I have been looking forward to it. It is impossible for such a movie that is rated 19 banned in South Korea to be released in China. Even if it is released, it will be cut into pieces. What else is there to watch?
1. The film itself
I am a photography enthusiast, a mystery novel fan, and an ordinary movie lover. There are only four types of movies to me: great, good, average, and bad. Although I basically don't watch Korean dramas, I like Korean movies very much. Not only are the plots good, but the actors' acting skills are quite good. "Miss" for me is the type that I think is great. First of all, the scenes of the film are in a style that I like very much. Second, the protagonists, supporting roles and soy sauce actors in the film are all unbeatable! Third, the 2.5-hour long story actually tells a suspenseful, gripping and beautiful story, which makes me hope that time does not pass too fast! The above three points all hit my heart, and there is nothing that can prevent "Miss" from being the best movie I have seen this year and must be treasured. There is no one.
Second, the role
"Miss" This movie tells a small story about conspiracy, freedom and love in a big scene. Let's talk about the main actors first.
Kim Min Hee
Izumi Hideko in the play should be the first heroine. To be honest, Jin Minxi is definitely not the first beauty. She has a standard Korean face, and even the face shape is not good-looking. I remember when Sook Hee met Xiuzi for the first time, the OS in my heart was: Why did no one tell me that she was so beautiful, it caught me by surprise. When I saw this, I was a little annoyed at the time: Director, are you the one who calls this kind of ugliness extremely beautiful? The audience is too foolish! However, as the story progresses, this Xiuzi with unsightly facial features, why does she feel more and more beautiful? And her beauty will penetrate the screen and blow to the face, and the air will not disappear for a long time? Jin Minxi is not a beauty in the traditional sense. Her beauty and attractiveness come from her small actions: biting her lips, her eyes are blurred, her eyes are tearful, she can feel the pain even breathing, her dark belly but extremely beautiful smile, closing her eyes. Wiping the sweat on his forehead after reading the reading, the little white eyes that were slightly rolled when he lightly pulled the collar, staring with affection, pulling down the cap and smiling and shaking his long hair - Jin Minxi calmly made Xiuzi's femininity Overwhelming, it also made me and Shuji fall in love with Miss.
It is said that Jin Taili
is a newcomer. She used to shoot commercials, so her smile is particularly beautiful. Fortunately, the two heroines in the film have no obvious signs of cosmetic surgery. Although they have flaws in their appearance, no artificial face can be compared to a natural face. The second female lead she played, Nam Sook Hee, was generally cute, although her acting skills were not comparable to that of Kim Min Hee. The character Shu Ji in the play is a lovely girl who lives at the bottom of the society, has no culture, is full of survival skills, but has a sincere heart. Under the somewhat jerky performance of Jin Taili, such a simple girl is actually quite vivid and believable. Friends have seen it and said that I like the little maid more. It turns out that people still yearn for innocence in their hearts.
Ha Jung Woo
What do you think of Ha Jung Woo's acting? ! Handsome and ruffian, he played an elegant-looking liar straight into the heart. Seeing the wind and the rudder, seeing people and hearts, knowing when to say what and what to say, you will be able to achieve your wishes with one hit. I originally wanted to seduce Xiuzi, but just after a small yellow book club meeting, I realized Xiuzi's essence and immediately changed my strategy, turning a scam that originally lacked new ideas and blood into a powerful weight for Xiuzi to exchange for freedom. , which controls Hideko's fate. Among the thousands of people, Shuji, who has no father and no mother, and is a little clever, was specially selected to cooperate with Xiuzi, thus manipulating the fate of Shuji. Such a man who is a fascinated man with real painting skills, Ha Jung Woo took it easily. Although he lost in the end to the two women he thought he was in control of, he felt a little bit that his IQ was not necessarily matched with his appearance, but he still had to be sure that He Zhengyu made the conspiracy line of this movie more reasonable and suspenseful.
Zhao Zhenxiong
didn't like "Signal" that my colleagues recommended to me at all. After finally watching this film, it made me even more sure that Korean dramas are not my thing. But the signal reminds me of the tall Zhao Zhenxiong. In fact, he didn't act very well in the drama, even a little contrived, that is, he pretended to pouting innocently in it from time to time, which impressed me deeply. In "Miss", he played the biggest villain and the most Park Chan-wook-style character in the whole film-the perverted uncle. As far as the film is concerned, perhaps Zhao Zhenxiong's role is more important than that of He Shuai. He is the thread that connects all the characters in this story, and is also the source of all the gloomy and perverted tone. In the movie, he wears old-age makeup, thick eyebrows and a beard, stoops, and has a dark look in his eyes, but his signature pouting gesture makes me, a somewhat blind person, recognize him. Out. The sanctimonious perverts, the slow mental and physical abuse, and the fanatical love for Xiao Huangshu, especially when Fujiwara talked about the wedding night with Hideko, the kind of drool that would be drooling.
3.
If the story of love had no love and only conspiracy, it would definitely not attract me so much. The original "Miss" book "City of Thorns" is still in my kindle, but I have read "Fingersmith Love". I have never felt that there is any comparison between "Miss" and "Fingerman's Love", they are just adapted from the same novel, and each tells its own story.
Su Ji fell in love with the young lady from the first shock, but maybe she didn't know it was love at first. In fact, we all have a natural affinity for good things. If good things happen to give us appropriate emotional feedback, it is easy to escalate good feelings. Sook Hee has no experience as a maid, she is sincere, innocent and direct. It was precisely because she was not a qualified maid that the young lady had a different feeling for her. On the first night, the young lady scare Shu Ji up. On the one hand, she wanted to test whether the maid was stupid enough, and on the other hand, she wanted to make fun of her. I didn't expect all kinds of temptations and tricks, but in the end, the young lady was moved by Shu Ji instead. Grinding his teeth, holding his face, refusing earl coins, licking lollipops to teach - a soul who has been alone for many years, suddenly encounters the sincerity of an incompetent liar assistant, and is gradually covered up, involuntarily. Invest in your own feelings. The indifferent lady who said that she would not marry any man had already planned suicide to end an unfortunate life, she was so numb and fearless. And it was this numb person, half lying on the sofa, and said to Shu Ji tenderly: This is fine, as long as you are by my side. Hideko's eyes are full of love, love overflowing from the bottom of her heart. The anger and despair when she didn't get a response from Sook Hee for the feelings she gave were all in the tears in Xiuzi's eyes and her distorted face, and she ran to hang herself without hesitation. At this time, Xiuzi is no longer the stagnant Xiuzi from the beginning. If it is not that the desperate love has been betrayed and has no life, can one-night stands and impulsiveness still cause such emotional impact?
Chattering about my personal movie viewing experience, I don't want to say anything about feminism, and I don't want to say anything about same-name love, I saw a beautiful movie and a beautiful love, regardless of gender. Finally, let’s end with some of my favorite episodes: when I
first arrived at Miss’s house, the lady’s scream scared Suk-hee and tumbled out of bed; she grinded her
teeth in the shower;
teaching Ye Xiuzi grabbed Suk-hee A warm kiss;
when Fujiwara said: No wonder, you read so many books of that kind. Hideko's originally impatient eyes suddenly became sharp, staring at Fujiwara with an angry expression;
after Shuji heard that she was cheated, she was so angry that she let go of Hideko's legs, and Hideko almost died;
Shuji wrote a letter to her aunt earnestly, picked up the bracelet that Xiuzi gave her, and subconsciously bit it to confirm whether it was real gold;
Shuji learned that Xiuzi had closed the study for so many years for those hateful men and women to read children's books. Huang Shushi was furious, and Xiuzi followed behind Shuji with tears streaming down her cheeks. Seeing her angrily destroying the book for her own sake, she was deeply regretful and moved;
Shuji, who walked over the wall neatly, saw Xiuzi standing on the wall. He turned back and threw the boxes and stacked them neatly, and helped Xiuzi to step on them tenderly, while Xiuzi took a deep look at Shuji and jumped from the wall firmly; Xiuzi
and Shuji clasped their fingers on the small wooden boat . , Xiuzi rested her head gently on Shuji's shoulder; on
the wedding night, Xiuzi got up, dressed, cut her palm, and threw a handkerchief in one go, staring at Fujiwara with disdain;
Xiuzi tied her shoelaces for Shuji, and Shuji picked it up. Hideko's wedding ring, torn off the fake beard and thrown into the sea, the two looked into each other's eyes and smiled sweetly.

Well, I have to admit, waiting for the 3 hour version to come out.
