Feng Junhao belongs to the unusual and unattractive type of Korean directors. He only has three works, and he is less than forty years old. He imitates the old man's tone: The future is really limitless, and the new film in 2006 is quite worth looking forward to.
1. I'm not a dog lover, but I don't have much affection for them. When I was a child, I was chased by a dog for hundreds of meters, and since then I have left a psychological shadow. Now, I still feel nervous when I meet a big dog with its mouth open and its tongue sticking out on the road.
2. The cast of the film is good. Lee Sung Jae and Bae Doona still have the common problem of early Korean actors squeezing their expressions in their performances. However, combined with the background of black comedy, this is the performance style that the film needs, and the discomfort can be eliminated a lot. In terms of narrative structure, the film adopts two parallel lines, and in the second half of the film, the two main lines converge together. In other words, the second half of the film is getting better and more exciting.
3. Just like the title of the film, "Kidnapping Dogs at the Door" is about all kinds of life related to dogs - in fact, it is not as serious as I said, it is about some frustrated people in modern society, with a residential area in Korea as the background, A university teacher who has suffered setbacks is inevitably upset when he is at a low point in his life. He hates the barking of dogs, so he kills the dogs that haunt the floor, which leads to some strange and absurd things.
4. There was indeed an uproar in the selection of the film's materials. There was no special explanation that the Animal Protection Association would definitely come to visit to denounce justice, so at the beginning of the film, "The puppy was taken care of by professional doctors and personnel during the production of the film, and no animals were injured." Feng Junhao is still self-challenging in the selection of film materials, and when it comes to "Memories of Murder", it has broad social significance.
5. The interlocking settings make the plot quite smooth. The old lady's dried radish, the uncle who tells ghost stories, the homeless homeless person, and many characters who seem to appear at random have not been ignored. The director is still quite good at this aspect. grasp. The heroine's story feels a bit boring, and the whole person is carefree, this line may lose a lot of color because of this.
6. "Kidnapping the Door Dog" also shows the Korean tradition of eating dog meat. The story of the boiler worker in it is quite interesting. When it was combined with "Memories of Murder", some people suspected that the murderer was a boiler worker, and they were thinking of directing the third work. There will be no boiler workers. When the actor lost his puppy and came home, his wife should be watching "August Photo Studio", Ai, this part is good.
7. The film is more restrained in sensationalism, including returning the puppy later, and the music will pass after a few seconds. The ending is pretty sunny, just a bit muddled. In general, the story is mostly witty and humorous, but there will be a small sense of heaviness.
