According to the interview of the director, this is a fantasy movie, with a werewolf theme, but the werewolf has been turned into a boy with flesh and blood and real feelings, more like a boy than a superhero werewolf. This may be the difference between Asian films (Korean) and American films. In other words, this is the genius of this director. When we talk about fantasy movies, we immediately think of Marvel's superheroes, the ones who will save the world. The movie will focus on showing his personality, growth and his superpowers, especially superpowers, and love is just a foil. On the other hand, the Korean film director Cho Seung-hee turned a fantasy movie-style character into the hero of a pure love movie, paying more attention to his interaction with the people around him, especially the interaction between him and the heroine, from social and interpersonal The angle reflects his changes and growth little by little. It talks about how he becomes normal and integrates into the environment, unlike American movies, how he escapes from the environment, and finally proves that he is unique, and his environment (the general public) is because of him. accepted him because of his virtuosity. So, looking at it this way, this movie is nothing like an ordinary fantasy movie. The fantasy is just the background of the male protagonist, and the story is still a love story that everyone accepts. It is not so much a fantasy movie as it is a literary pure love romance film that reflects loyal love and human feelings.
When it comes to the background setting, I think the story is well executed in the background setting, without jumping out of the box, coming with a surprise, deliberately creating a happy ending, but using tragedy to show us what we are powerless to change in life fact. To be honest, I think that people in the United States are definitely better than the sky, and the setting of the protagonist of God's efforts may be too far from reality, which makes me feel that it cannot be brought in, and becomes boring. I think the external force that cannot be changed due to the setting of the story background will make the struggle of the protagonist of the story particularly difficult, and the climax will be particularly moving. For example, the setting of this movie is that the society subconsciously does not allow wolf teenagers and aliens, and believes that aliens are dangerous, and public opinion will cause an uproar. This setting conforms to our general concept and is easy to accept. Therefore, it is reasonable to shoot the wolf boy. It is also reasonable for the officer to agree not to pursue the investigation. It is reasonable for the heroine not to take the wolf boy away. It is also reasonable that the boy cannot be known to the public outside the village, so the difference between the heroine and the wolf boy becomes extraordinarily difficult to change. The unchangeable separation collided with the vision of wanting the male and female protagonists to be together, and there was a beautiful and touching sadness at the final separation.
In the end, I thought that after Chunyi slept, the next day, everyone found that the old man had passed away in the house, and it was a dream before her death when she saw Zhexiu. The result is not. Well, a few questions, one, why is the wolf boy not old at all after so many years. Well, if it is said that the gene of the wolf gave him, it makes sense. Second, where did Zhexiu learn to speak? If it is said that painting can be practiced by himself, but speaking still needs to be taught by someone, how can a person learn to speak such a long paragraph with only the little things left by the heroine what about? This last point is a little bit unreasonable.
Some people may say that this captures the psychology of every girl who wants to have an obedient boyfriend. How to say, obedient, loyal, determined, strong, will rush out to protect the girl in a dangerous situation, why not be moved?
The story is quite engaging. The heroine was disgusted at the beginning, and finally moved by her boyfriend's power. The separation is also heart-breaking and sad. I think the audience (especially the female audience) fits well wherever they are substituted.
In fact, I think this movie is not only about love, but also about human nature and the relationship between people. For example, the young master of the rich family, who is desperate to achieve his goal, is reflecting that the sinister heart is more terrifying than the beast. For example, the kind-hearted neighbors help each other, and the children in the village play with each other, and they do not discriminate against this foreign and alien Xiu Zhe at all, just like a paradise, the most perfect social interpersonal relationship. For example, a kind mother, if there is no orphanage to adopt this child, will take care of Zhexiu regardless, and treat him as a member of the family. This kind of tolerance and kindness is also very touching.
Anyway, after reading it, I feel very moved and have a warm feeling. I watched it intermittently for a few days during the Qingming Festival. I didn’t finish it on the train when I came back, and I continued to watch it on the subway. When the door was about to open at the end of the show, it happened to be the time to transfer to the subway. When I got off the subway, there was still a little tail left. After reading it, I sat in the subway station to watch it, calmed down and left. Originally, I went with my best friend to Zhongji Oppa, but I was fascinated by the director and screenwriter.
