Korean filmmakers have always had the courage and confidence to self-deprecate the country, ridicule the government's inaction, expose the darkness of society, and expose the backside of scandals, and it is with these sharp and realistic films that break the ice and cut the wall, the society can have more light and harmony. hot. "Furnace" and "Suyuan" directly detonated public opinion and changed the law. "Terrorist Live" expands the dark side of human nature infinitely, which is thought-provoking. "Tunnel", also starring Ha Zhengyu, continues to expose the hypocritical government and unscrupulous media. , to discuss the topic of human nature.
Lee Jung-soo is a car salesman. On an ordinary weekday, he bought a cake and drove home to celebrate his daughter's birthday. However, when passing through the tunnel, the tunnel collapsed for a while! Lee Jung-soo is trapped in the tunnel and can only pray for rescue to arrive quickly.
Tunnel collapsed? Big news! A large number of reporters swarmed, in order to get more exclusive news, the reporter actually dialed Lee Jung-soo's phone interview! You must know that at such a time, the rescue team has to keep in touch with Lee Jung-soo to stabilize his emotions, and also to determine his life status, and the most important thing is the power of his mobile phone.
"Excuse me, Mr. Li, how are you feeling trapped in the tunnel now?"
"..." I want to kill you gang of unscrupulous media!
The rescue team used drones to enter the tunnel to explore the situation, and journalists also released a large number of drones to follow, resulting in signal interference, and the drones were wiped out. The rescue team could not know the situation inside, which greatly increased the difficulty of rescue.
Is life more important or news? In today's "post-truth era" of online media, a large number of media have abandoned the most important truth of news in pursuit of timeliness. When encountering news events, they think about how to attract public attention and trigger public opinion. The parties in the news are regarded as It's so sad to have an eye-catching tool!
From the Internet celebrity hitting a pregnant woman to the Chongqing bus falling into the river, the final reversal of the incident is all accusing the media of irresponsibility. For the sake of traffic and attention, they specially pick up information reports that have a big impact and a big gap, consume victims, and ignore the truth of the incident. , maybe we should all reflect, not only as journalists, but also us who form the main body of public opinion.
In addition to satirizing journalists, the film also alludes to the hypocrisy of the government. When Lee Jung-soo's wife rushed to the scene anxiously, senior government officials came forward to express their condolences, just to take pictures for the media and create a public relations image.
On the 17th day when Li Zhengzhu was buried under the ruins of the tunnel, he relied on dog food and a dripping water source to persevere. He wanted to live and was still waiting for rescue. However, people outside the tunnel are debating whether or not to abandon him.
The weather was bad, and the difficulty of rescue increased again. The rescue team guessed his location based on the design drawings of the tunnel and the information provided by Li Zhengzhu, and dug a passage from the middle of the tunnel to carry out rescue. However, the tunnel is a rubbish project, the design drawings and the actual distance are different, and it took a lot of effort to dig for nothing.
Even more unfortunate is that one of the rescuers of the rescue team unfortunately died in the incident. People began to question the significance of this rescue, investing a lot of money and manpower, and hundreds of people to rescue a person who has lost contact and is likely to have died. Is it really worth it?
Public opinion forced Li Zhengzhu's wife to sign the agreement to give up the rescue. At this time, Li Zhengzhu had been buried under the rubble for 35 days. The hope of surviving is slim, and the external oppression makes the wife reluctantly agree.
Movies are dark and of course heartwarming. There was a girl and a dog in another car that was trapped under the ruins with Li Zhengzhu. The two were very close. Even though water and food were scarce and precious, Li Zhengzhu still gave half of the water to the girl.
The captain of the rescue team has been doing his due diligence from beginning to end. After giving up the rescue, he still wanted to persevere and went down to check in person. Then he accidentally heard the sound of Li Zhengzhu venting his anger not far away, and was able to rescue Li Zhengzhu finally. .
This ending is indeed a little too idealistic, but it also reduces the heaviness of the movie. Coupled with Ha Zhengyu's natural and interesting acting skills, the movie reveals a bit of color in the gloom and does not make people too desperate. I have to mention that Uncle He is so handsome!
I don't know when our country's films will be allowed to make such socially meaningful films.
