"Monitors" is the best Korean police and bandit action movie I've seen so far. I
wrote this sentence at the very beginning to remind me all the time when I was writing this big story. Regret, then I can find him quickly and delete him.
In my opinion, the so-called police and gangster films should simply tell the stories of cops and gangsters. If we only talk about police and gangster films, then "Monitors" is obviously to be ranked after "Memories of Murder", but the word "action" is added. After that, he can justifiably go beyond "Memories of Murder". In addition, "Uncle" is not a police and bandit movie. Even if Yuan Bin is a retired agent, the agent is not a policeman. Not only is the unit to which he belongs is another system, but the most important thing is that the individual combat capabilities of the two are too far apart; It doesn't even count, because Kim Yoon Suk's character is a cop who got fired from the police force, and if he wasn't a pimp it would be another story. Therefore, the police often use careful logical reasoning to win or teamwork. "Monitors" has an indispensable "men" word. At this point, Hollywood's police and gangster movies are sometimes a bit cheating to be honest, and people like John McClane in "Die Hard" should go directly to "The Expendables" to report. But given Hollywood's ingrained personal heroism and the fact that America's cops come from Marine corps at every turn... I put up with it.
This "Monitors" is a remake of the Hong Kong movie "Stalker". I haven't seen the original version. It is said that the similarity is 90%, but I especially believe that the 10% of Koreans' self-play will not disappoint. Because they really got the true biography of Murong Fu in "Tianlong Babu", all imported products, they can draw cats according to cats, tigers and tigers, and finally the Persian cat became a Tai Chi cat, and the Siberian tiger became a Tai Chi tiger. . Not that they were robbers, but because they were very good students. Since Korea and Japan were deeply influenced by Chinese culture in ancient times, and modern civilization came from the West, it stands to reason that they should be different from each other, but they can find their own positioning and national characteristics, and then carry forward their very good localization, so that As for China today, it is deeply influenced by Korean and Japanese culture. And there will be subtle differences between South Korea and Japan, which I have a chance to talk about. I'm not just referring to movies here, let's take very concrete things as an example, cars, mobile phones, clothing, entertainment, etc. All these modern things come from the West. After the Industrial Revolution, the focus of the world shifted to the West. No matter culture, aesthetics, technology, or values, almost all of them are dominated by the West. It is impossible to resist. At this time, China chose Shanzhai, South Korea and Japan. Choosing to study, there is a big difference between the two. In the end, study became independent research and development, and the cottage finally... well, it became Chinese characteristics. . . . . As for why this is the case, a hundred people can give a thousand kinds of answers, such as ideology, geopolitics, cultural foundation, and nationality. Belongs to the wise and foolish bird. Korean films, especially when European filmmakers try to avoid Hollywood and Chinese filmmakers claim to be on an equal footing with Hollywood, Korean filmmakers are still patiently being his students. The most similar thing in the world to learn Hollywood movies is Korean movies, but they really practice in individuals, and they are so well-versed that Hollywood has begun to remake "Old Boy". For a year or two, Korean films have been stagnant, and I have personally heard a few Chinese filmmakers say with great disdain: Korean films have reached a bottleneck. Before, they were just returning to the light, and the future is the world of Chinese films. . . . I really don’t want to be underestimated. The movie needs a fertile and boundless soil, and a 70-year-old saline-alkali land cannot build a century-old classic building. (Take it too far, I don't like to spray it)
Hong Kong movies have a deep influence on Korean movies, not only because this film is a remake of You Naihai's "Stalking", I have seen a "Fist of Legends" before, and there is a supporting role in "The True Color of Heroes", you can See how much influence Eastern Hollywood had on them in that era. By the way, there is a surprise at the end of "The Watchers". Anyway, when I watched the last scene, it was: I fuck? Tribute to the original.
Speaking of police and bandits, in the past Korean movies, the police were often stupid, blunt, poor, ugly, and ruffian. In addition, the Korean police's clothing (except for formal uniforms) always gave people a sense of workshop workers, and you didn't feel it at all. Because of the majesty of the police, every time you see the police chasing criminals in the film, you will have the illusion that migrant workers are chasing wages. But this time, it was a complete turn over for the South Korean police. The speed and efficiency of the police were impressive. Based on the principle of no spoilers, in this film, you will obviously feel that the quality of the police force is obviously higher than that of the gangster, but because the leader of the gangster is too tall, rich, handsome, stable, accurate, and ruthless, it can be regarded as a face for the gangster. By the way, when it comes to the villains in police and gangster films, because they are film and television works, they are based on the principle of higher than life. Generally speaking, as long as the plot is a confrontation between two heroes, the villains are basically played by handsome men, so that the police are in the vast crowd. When looking for criminals in the sea, you can't wait to tell them directly: Look! That! indivual! most! handsome! of! This time is no exception. Zheng Yucheng, who is 1.88 meters tall, wears a windbreaker and a leather briefcase. When he disappears into the crowd and the police feel powerless, you want to say: Hey~~ Looking for chicken feathers, Isn't it right there. . . By the way, the last scene between him and his boss in the film is too crisp and crisp, even more brittle than "Hurricane Rescue".
Korean entertainment is really, really good at creating stars. There are all kinds of styles, and the audience radiation rate is targeted from the sensible children to the elderly who can't take care of themselves, especially the creation of female stars. I have never been to South Korea, so I don't know the level of Korean girls in my life. I heard that It is always heard, and there is really no right to speak if you haven't seen it with your own eyes. But I want to say one point, one day in the future, will plastic surgery really affect genes? It’s like evolution. After humans walk upright, they have no tails. After whales live in water, they grow fins. Then Wouldn't it be better for the Korean race to look better just because they had to undergo plastic surgery anyway? I don't know, anyway, Han Xiaozhu in this film is quite kind, it is said that it is still natural. . .
Well, the progress bar of Xunlei shows that the Cantonese high-definition version of "Tracking" is 99%, and this egg kick started by the movie is also 99%. I still have no regrets, so I will not delete the first sentence.
