A hero's dream in a tired life

Friends fried chicken late at night, accompanied by light music, full of happiness and beauty. Miss Qu is really a talented person who is not lazy and has unique action. After watching the movie, she got up and went straight to the kitchen, so I was put into this "Extreme Profession" by her.

The Hong Kong translation of "Fried Chicken Special Forces" and the Taiwanese translation of "Chicken Can't Lose", although a bit tacky, clearly understand the core elements.

This is not an ordinary movie. China and South Korea cooperate to create the core of the story, and then make two copies. Both of them have grafted their most popular and down-to-earth foods, but the Chinese version of "Lobster Criminal" has a terrible box office and evaluation, but the Korean version has become the box office champion in film history.

When I watched it, I didn't know it was a phenomenal film, and I didn't show enough respect. Because I knew the fried chicken terrier in advance, I stared at it in the middle of the night, waiting for the fried chicken to appear.

I found that I can still appreciate the laughs of Korean movies, and the baggage thrown out can basically ring in me, not hilarious, laughing to tears. It is closer to the daily work, when a colleague makes an oolong incident, you will laugh when you think about it.

The plot can be said to be exaggerated, because there are huge contrasts, reversals, and conflicts to create laughs.

But the strange thing is that maybe Korean directors are good at telling stories. The rhythm is fast and the goal is clear. Step by step development is natural, no need to explore and no doubt, so it gives people a real sense of life. You will understand and resonate with everyone's thoughts and practices.

And a large part of the reason for the resonance is the way the protagonists appear. Not the kind of elites in the domestic workplace TV series. The two-meter-eight aura created by clothes, head shaking, sunglasses, indifferent face, and the wind under his feet is particularly persuasive and annoying.

It's an ordinary person, even more unlucky than ordinary people. You know it's to make you laugh, but after laughing, you feel inexplicably relieved, helpless and peaceful, just like the exhaustion that most of us can't avoid. Life.

The front was full of depression and despair, and the whole group was very depressed. But I can't see whether they are incompetent or bad luck. When the team leader returned home, he handed out GUCCI's paper bag and buried the stem. It was really funny and true whether it was the kitchen knife flying over or washing and going to sleep.

So, I quite like this movie.

I like that it pulls out the trivial and helpless tiredness of ordinary people in a funny way for people to see. I like that it is short in the parents without borders, and the warmth of mutual understanding hidden in the chicken feathers on the ground.

Just like the talisman that was secretly sewn into the team leader's underwear, it is the greatest encouragement and help to the heroic dream who is still willing to stick to his beliefs and responsibilities despite the blow.

Of course, these are still not convincing enough. Really funny and warm, but not the box office champion.

What really makes it win is the love of food, right?

"Making good chicken isn't the deadpan pursuit of frozen poultry, cellophane packaging, and robotic assembly. A true chef knows that preparing a dish is a sacred art and honorable in the communion of life."

Out of this respect, one can hold a pistol in a cool way one second, and rub bread crumbs on the chicken the next. Officer Ma's secret sauce for Suwon ribs is so fascinating.

But then again, I love this movie, and none of that is really needed. The soundtrack at the end of the film "The Love of the Year", as soon as my brother's Cantonese came out... enough.

Only then did I realize that Koreans love Hong Kong films in the 1980s and 1990s as much as I do.

If there is one more word that needs to be said, it is to have real skills. With the blessing of a Muay Thai champion, a judo champion, and a former naval special forces soldier, there is a gorgeous counterattack in the back. Otherwise, not only will the heroic dream not be realized, but I am afraid that even the exhausted life will be lost.

    4.5/5 South Korea’s best cop comedy in recent years! It’s not an exaggeration to laugh from the beginning to the end. Although the editing of the play is still a bit messy, the laugh point of the whole film can be said to be quite clever. One is here and the third is playing with the existing formula of the action film, no wonder South Korea has watched tens of millions in a short period of time, and the annual stress relief comedy is correct. In the end, it steals the episode of the heroic character, thinking I can’t hear it?

    Originally, I was thinking about who invested more in Shaxian, Lanzhou Ramen, Braised Chicken Rice, Meituan, Baidu, and I’m hungry who paid the entire remake. Later, I discovered that "one chicken, two food" had already been filmed. No wonder the lobster detective rushed to the street because barbecue is king.
