Kingdom: Ashin of the North

I don't know from a distance

startled up close

Watching this film, I really feel that the years are ruthless. One day Jun Ji Hyun will become someone you don't know! (Those who have a tacit understanding should think of "Thunderstorm")

This movie is a side story of the Korean TV series "Kingdom". I probably know what "Kingdom" is about, but I haven't watched an episode. Therefore, it is guessed that this is the first part of the TV series "Kingdom", because Yaxin, the protagonist played by Jun Zhixian, told the imperial doctor the method of "resurrection flower" and "rebirth". And it is clear that the imperial physician will use it on the king. And why is this, because Yasin is going to kill all the North Koreans!

The Koreans made a film, the theme is to destroy the North Koreans (note that the North Korea in the film is the historical North Korea, the ancestor of the current South Korea and North Korea). This kind of empathy is truly unparalleled.

Why does Yaxin do this? Because her clan is a branch of the Jurchen clan who had surrendered to North Korea in the past, because she was grateful for the kindness of North Korea (in fact, the so-called kindness is to give a piece of land, and then exploit and despise them), so she has been acting as a North Korean spy to spy on the Jurchen A powerful family of pigs and guards. This tribe, sturdy and ambitious, is the heart disease of North Korea.

Because it has to face the invasion of Japanese pirates (Japan) and suffer from enemies on both sides, North Korea must not only pay attention to Zhu Powei, but also deal with the Japanese pirates. To be honest, it is also difficult.

And the royal family who was relegated to the local area, in order to monopolize wild ginseng, even unscrupulously killed a group of pigwomen who came to pick them. This will naturally lead to a war between Jurchen Pig Powei and Korea! In order to avoid war, the military commander stationed at the border first blamed the tiger, but the result was found out (because the tiger died for a long time, its stomach was empty, it was a zombie tiger); so in order to save the country from war, to avoid the enemy from both sides at the same time, He also blamed Yaxin's clan. So Yaxin's clan was annihilated. And Yaxin listened to his father's teaching wholeheartedly, and wanted to be loyal. He has been bearing the burden of humiliation and continued to take over as a spy, monitoring Zhu Powei, hoping that one day, the North Korean army can help her get revenge.

Unexpectedly, she discovered the truth. So she used the "resurrection flower" she prepared to save her mother when she was a child. It turned out that there was a local record before that the deer ate the resurrection flower, and the tiger ate the deer, so it became an immortal tiger. And whoever bites will become a zombie. She turned all North Korean troops into zombies and then burned them to death.

The cause and effect of hatred has been made clear, and the history of the zombie kingdom has also been made clear. But isn't this kind of story boring?

Actually not!

A long time ago, I read a book called "An Empire". It said that if an ant loses its queen and becomes a single ant, its life is aimless. What about people? As for the garrison commander, he must be loyal to the entire dynasty. He is a very staunch patriot. He even directly "rebuked and intimidated" the royal family who were mercenary and disregarded the safety of the people. For the sake of the country, he sacrificed a small foreign race, which is nothing. But what about Yaxin? Her "country" is not North Korea, her country is so small that it is her own clan. And when the clan is destroyed, then the value of their existence is revenge. That is to kill both Koreans and Jurchens! This is her kingdom! She is equally loyal to her kingdom! 7/23/2021

    Determine a very important message: Ashin, played by Jun Jixian, is the big boss and the source of zombies. Her goal is to destroy North Korea. Finally, incarnation of Tyrande (?) One night to slaughter the village is the highlight, and the scene of going home has a great impact! But the whole shot is very fragmented. First of all, the biggest selling point of the "Kingdom" series is one word: "Shuang". This rumor has nothing to do with this word... Ashin is holding Uchiha Sasuke's growth script, but the director behaves very boringly. The rhythm is strange, and the special effects, graphics, soundtrack and scheduling are completely inferior to any episode of the main drama. Secondly, there are small bugs in the plot. For example, the tiger bites a person but does not mutate. For example, the tiger actually bites the hand of the other person. For example, the tiger and the bear can't catch up with the person after running hard. . . I beg you to stop telling me about the "Kingdom Universe". Can you make a good drama? [Daily sigh that South Korean child star’s acting skills are really awesome~]

    Seeing a long criticizing South Korea, rising to insulting Korean movies, I just want to say that South Korea has indeed done a lot of things that are detrimental to our motherland, but any high-quality film and television work is innocent. Wang Guo was invested by Netflix and was filmed by a Korean. Both seasons are very beautiful. It is a metaphor for the dark and decadent reality of the Korean government. It uses a popular zombie theme to wrap realist works. I don't know why it has risen to the national level. South Korea’s stealing behavior is extremely shameless and it is not self-confidence in its own culture. What we can do is to resolutely resist this behavior and defend our own culture. Moreover, the country’s restriction on Korea is to prevent everyone from admiring Korean culture too much and neglecting our own culture. We only need to stick to our bottom line. What can be maintained by those domestically produced productions that plagiarize and use vulgar bridges? Korean film and television can face the darkness of their own motherland and present them with wonderful means; this is the reason why audiences have always paid for it! As long as we can not lose our roots and promote it, we can absorb the good aspects of other countries. But if it is too extreme, it is unnecessary for duck.
