The melting pot that mixes society into tunnels - Ha Jung Woo's offbeat disaster film

I don't watch disaster movies very much. On the one hand, most disaster movies are good at pictures. On the other hand, the naked life and death are too heavy and make me breathless.

That's right, "Tunnel" is just all the films that I made up Ha Jung Woo. My favorite actor, bar none.

Although not many disaster films have been watched, the alternative of "Tunnel" is obvious. There is no redundant foreshadowing at the beginning of the film. The description of the warmth between people before the disaster can basically be said to be zero, and it is simply stated that it is the background of the daughter's birthday. The story began in seven or eight minutes, and entered the right track with the collapse of the tunnel.

From the overall look and feel, the atmosphere in the first half of the film can even be described as relaxed, which is obviously completely different from the disaster film in our impression. Sufficient water and food, sufficient mobile phone battery, can communicate with the outside world regularly, in addition to the severe external situation, the overall feeling of rescue is only a matter of time.

Of course, the biggest foreshadowing of the film is the suspension of the second phase of the Hetu Tunnel. This is a contradiction between national economic interests and humanitarianism. When everyone has hope, it does not seem to be a contradiction, and it is not worth spending too much time explaining. .

The plot in the middle describes the trapped Mina and the puppy Tianji, which opens up the space for the hero's show, and at the same time brings out the puppy, the representative point of human affection. It's just that Mina was seriously injured and eventually died, which made Zhengxiu start to have fear.

The biggest turning point in the film is that the rescue team found out that they had drilled into the wrong place, and 17 days of hard work was in vain. At that moment, everyone seemed to feel hopeless. The tone of the whole film suddenly changed from a shallow social criticism to a A deep game of human nature.

Especially when the rescue team members died unexpectedly at the rescue scene, and the children of the victims watched Zhengxiu's wife at the funeral, the whole movie reached the deepest darkness.

The government officials' peace of mind, the economic accounts of the stakeholders, the humanitarian spirit of the rescue captain, and the sorrow and despair of his wife are all players under the collapsed tunnel.

People can always look noble under the light and wealth, and when the unknown and fear invade, they will truly release their inner selfish demons.

In the latter part of the film, the two explosions of the second phase of the project, with the two soft external vibrations, compared with the huge internal collapse, show the characters of all parties who are outside the incident. It is just a simple decision, and it is a natural moat of life and death for the parties involved. .

Personally, I feel that the whole film is slightly lacking in the final rescue process. It seems that after discovering that the protagonist is still alive, he is rescued at once. The continuation of the plot and emotions will make people feel that there is an obvious breakpoint.

As a newcomer to disaster films, I will give this film a relatively good score. On the one hand, it is the preference for Ha Zhengyu and the unquestionable strength of the show. On the other hand, the theme is unique and expressed in very small scenes. Out of the game of interests at all levels of society, the film is not warm, thoughtful, novel in subject matter, well-expressed, and has the dark characteristics of Korean films.
