This is a well-received North-South relationship movie. In the film, the director depicts the true views of North and South Korea as a whole on national unity, as well as the various propositions of different forces within North and South Korea for national unity, and for this reason, all parties fight against each other for the dominance of the country's future. For this reason, it has led to many political departures. It is in this context that the whole film unfolds. Under the grand theme, incidentally, it shows the situation faced by many aspects such as belief, friendship, love, professional principles, social reality, and human feelings under the division and unity of the country. The art of an era has an era. As the most representative comprehensive art form in the industrial age, the principles that film follows in dealing with the relationship between the authenticity of its material objects and the ideological expression of directors and screenwriters are roughly the same as the so-called "literary" From life, higher than life" principle. The greatest value of a film lies in its restrained fiction. The director or screenwriter interrogates the essence of things by placing various relationships and roles in extreme situations, and even extreme contradictions, and uses this to coldly examine the world they want to discuss. . I think this movie shows the above point to some extent. But for such North-South relationship movies, I think an intelligent moviegoer should jump out of the movie itself and see the part of the reality it reflects. In recent years, many films about the relationship between North and South Korea shot in South Korea have been well received in mainland China. I think there is a fairness to this kind of praise. However, there should not be only one voice of criticism. In fact, although this type of film seems to have 50 major criticisms against the North and the South to show its neutrality and objectivity, from its foundation, it is still just a stand against the South. North Korea's position is one-sided and profound. In addition, in this type of film, there is also a tendency to try to use human nature or personal life, and its figurativeness is mostly expressed by directors or screenwriters as affairs between various individuals, to surpass the position of North Korea. After watching too many ideological and politically stylized films, this new trend is indeed refreshing. But after watching the meditation, it should be recognized that the confrontation between the North and the South is a fundamental and unavoidable historical trend, which constitutes the largest repertoire of all individuals on the Korean peninsula. Therefore, we should not avoid the heavy history and cruel reality that should be resolved by short-term fantasy, shallow thinking, sensibility, and the fragility of human nature. Therefore, at a deeper level, the transcendence of such films is still limited.
