With a little selfishness towards Kong Yu, I found the full version of the movie and watched it. The story is based on the real incident of the explosion at the Huang Yu police station during the Japanese occupation of North Korea. In order to distinguish several Japanese war-themed films that were released around the same time period, director Jin Zhiyun thought it was a spy war action film.
During the Japanese occupation period in the 1920s, the Boxers still did not have the dispersed power of the motherland. In order to transport the explosives to the North Korean capital, the Japanese police tried every means to hunt down the members of the Boxers to stop the explosives from entering Beijing, so various characters appeared. There are not too many spy war movies in China or South Korea. The main points are whether the spy is cunning enough, whether the fighting scene is exciting enough, whether it is exciting enough when mediating with the enemy, and whether the punishment after arrest is enough to hurt good people. Hard enough. In this movie, it can be said that these points are not good enough.
Song Kang-ho's Japanese policeman Lee Jung-cheek chose to commit suicide after watching his old friend Kim Jang-ok betrayed when he was chasing down the members of the Boxer. This incident became a reason for his subsequent contact and relationship with the leader of the Boxer, Kim Yoo-jin. , has also become the reason why he chose to go undercover and be loyal to the Boxer, but this reason is a bit far-fetched. As the key character of the film, who works hard for the Japanese and is surrounded by ruthless people, his existence seems to have too much luck. Dongcun believed and trusted him enough, and no matter what the outcome was, he would just do it. Such a trusting relationship without doubts was unclear. Moreover, Li Zhengchu, as a scumbag, is actually not like him. It seems that he was set as a supporter of the Boxers from the beginning, and he said that he didn't trust him and would not help, but in fact he has always been thinking about Jin Youjin. What are his beliefs? If, as Zheng Caishan said, he cares about the motherland, then what is the reason for him to enter the Japanese police department? If it was just to avenge Jin Changyu, why was he turned against by Jin Youjin in the end? If it is just about the mental journey of an ordinary little person, this film is more or less good. There is not much struggle, and there is no need to deliberately disguise. When "partner" Hashimoto wanted to kill the fighters on the train, he suggested that the train arrive at the station in order to delay the time. The arrest together did not cause Hashimoto's suspicion or threat from beginning to end. It is not possible to determine whether he was too well disguised or Hashimoto's brain was short-circuited. As the protagonist of the movie, Lee Jung Chul can be a little more cunning. When I saw this, I thought of the TV series "Hidden". In contrast, I always felt that being a spy in South Korea was not a particularly risky thing.
In my opinion, although Lee Jung Seok was still undercover until the end and expressed his loyalty to the team leader, the protagonist is still Kim Woo Jin, played by Gong Yuxi. On the surface, Kim Yoo Jin is a photographer in a photo studio (although he only took a photo of the heroine in the film), but he is actually a businessman who re-sells genuine and fake antiques, but his true identity is the important thing for the Boxer. figure. When meeting with Li Zhengchu for the first time, Li said that his ability to collect money is not small, and he smiled and said that it takes a sweeper to do it. When he turned against Li, his eldest brother shouted, and even showed some coquettish looks at the critical moment when Li Zheng was needed. In order to avoid Hashimoto's search on the train, he could disguise himself as changing a baby's diaper. In order to find out who betrayed the fighters, he tried his best to set up a trap. After finding the traitor, he fired without blinking an eye. When he was caught Then he decided to bite off his tongue (why didn't he die?). He knows how to show weakness when dealing with the strong (the dominant side), and is quick to make decisions when he needs to respond. He is resolute and merciless. But he is also an ordinary person. There are times when he is wise and there are times when he is powerless. When he had a head-to-head battle with Hashimoto and the others on the train, he was not good enough to fight one against three. When he finally left the train station, he failed to keep his daughter. Lord, after delivering the key clues of the film explosives to the capital, I was caught before I could choose a place to hide in time. Fortunately, these imperfections, this film retains its sense of authenticity, after all, failure is the mother of success.
I just finished watching "Master" yesterday. Li Bingxian is a MLM boss in it. In fact, he is also like a MLM in it, but he is "MLM" with the conscience that an ordinary person should have. Zheng Caishan has very few scenes. As the head of the Boxer Regiment, it should be Shenlong who sees the beginning but not the end, so he just came forward to convey a central idea, and when he rebelled against Li Zheng, he came out as the boss to give some confidence. If a certain party or country once fought for the rights of the common people, the propaganda of this Boxer group seems to be a bit low-key, with only one purpose, that is, to transport explosives to the capital to bomb Japan and pro-Japanese people. In order to win Li Zhengchuan, he did his best. The three of them finished drinking a large barrel of wine without saying a word. In the cold weather, they made an appointment to go fishing at the seaside at night. Beach), and only said some sensational words about feelings. Seeing this, I'm still thinking whether Li Zhengchu was instigated to rebel, or that he was originally "reverse", but Jin Youjin and Zheng Caishan sorted out his thoughts and put a label on it.
When watching the film's press conference, I felt that Yan Taijiu's voice was really nice, deep and sinister. In the film, his eyes are also in place. A moustache, thin and deep. His purpose was relatively simple. To catch Zheng Caishan and get rid of the Boxers, maybe because he wanted to succeed too much, and he didn't even have time to doubt the people around him. There was a scene that was shocking. After the arrest mission failed, he concentratedly slapped his subordinate N to vent his anger.
If you don't put "Spy" in the ranks of blockbusters, it doesn't exist to win awards, it is a good movie, it tells a simple story in a method that can be said to be meticulous, there are no big characters, no big heroes, and There are no legends, some are real, one step at a time. Using a soldering iron to burn the face of the female lead, and using pliers to clamp the fingers, these common punishments are thrilling in ordinary life. Why do you move forward, even if you don't know what the result will be, or even if you will not succeed, you have to move forward, probably for the belief in freedom!
