Korean Movie Milestones
Brandy 2022-04-20 09:02:25
In the late 1990s, Hollywood films invaded Asia in an all-round way, Hong Kong was dead, Taiwan was dying early, Japanese films were like a pool of backwater, the Korean film industry launched a "bald head movement" to protect local films, "Life and Death" turned out to set a record, and Korean films came back to life. The most vigorous new force in the new century in Asia! This film and "The Tai Chi Flag Flying" are the two masterpieces of Jiang Digui, starring Han Shigui, Song Kanghao, and Cui Minzhi will also be the top three superstars in the future. It is inappropriate to say that these three are like Hong Kong's (Chow Yun-fat, Tony Leung, Andy Lau) combination, but they will be the most accomplished filmmakers in the future. It's a small regret that Song Kanghao played the least, but Jin Yunzhen's fledgling temperament is moving. The whole film focuses on North Korea and South Korea spy agents (the South Korean film is all against the Kim family), imitating Hollywood's narrative technique, rhythm and action design, and the filming is very vigorous. At the same time, there are also several films in Hong Kong, such as "Spy Shots". It's not bad, but it hasn't developed until this year "Fuchun" was scolded as shit. The status of this film is similar to that of "Hero" in the mainland. The film itself may not be very good, but it occupies an important position in history! I have to say that the DPRK and the ROK are of the same ethnic group, one is hereditary ruled by the Jin family, and the other follows the road of capitalist freedom. From the movies, the two countries are really different!
