1. Those excellent Korean movies
I don't like Korean dramas at all. The characters are always so monotonous, the male protagonists are often tall, rich and handsome, the female protagonists are often stupid and sweet, and the plots are always the same. The protagonists often die of cancer or car accidents, or tend to be abused. The poor girl who fell in love with the domineering rich man, of course, can't lack a mother who hates the mandarin duck.
Therefore, I used to have a prejudice against Korean movies, until a movie called "Monitors" gave me a glimpse of the Korean movie scene. Since then, I have become a little fan of Korean movies.
There are many excellent Korean movies with a wide range of subject matter, and they are all well-made, including "Monitors" and "Memories of Murder" with police and bandit themes; "The Furnace" and "Su Yuan" with the theme of child abuse; There are "The Defender" and "Terrorist Attack" with the themes of criticizing the government, "Mourning", "Perspective" and "Frost Flower Shop" with the theme of ancient costumes; "Old Boy" and "Kind Gold" with the theme of revenge; there are ethics The theme of "Same Bed on Weekend", "Affair", etc. , are too numerous to enumerate.
Their films are excellent not only because the stories are beautiful and the actors' acting skills are excellent, but more importantly, they will make you think more, soften your ideas that have been solidified by long-term conventions, and let you learn to question everything life, society. Therefore, people who watch those excellent Korean films tend to have two distinct reactions: one will feel that they are extreme and despicable;
People who learn to question are miserable and happy.
2. Introduction to "Monitors" and others
"The Watchers" is also translated as "Surveillance". Xia Yunzhu, who had just graduated from the police academy, entered the surveillance team of the police station. It just so happened that a bank robbery happened during this time. The gangsters are neat and professional, and the police are in trouble with no progress. To make matters worse, those gangsters had no intention of restraining themselves, and committed the crime again after a few days, stealing the accounting information of the accounting firm. , it is urgent for the police to solve the case as soon as possible...
"The Watchers" may not be the best Korean movie, but it is the one Korean movie I want to introduce to you the most, after all, it was the first Korean movie I liked.
It does not have the ideas that I mentioned above that impact other people's inherent concepts, so it will not make some people feel excluded; it is completely based on the storyline, so I believe everyone will like to watch it; its storytelling advantages are particularly obvious, but It can be regarded as a textbook, so I can also see where it is good, and there are words to write.
It's a wonderful thing to fall in love with an actor because of a movie . Because of "Titanic", I fell in love with Leonardo DiCaprio; because of "2046", I fell in love with Tony Leung; because of "The Grandmaster", I fell in love with Zhang Ziyi; because of "Pulp Fiction" , I fell in love with John Travolta; because of "The Watchers", I fell in love with Han Hyo Joo.
In the play, Han Xiaozhou has shoulder-length medium-length hair, and the bridge of his nose is high and hanging straight. He is heroic and handsome.
There is a very interesting phenomenon. Many Korean and Japanese actors are not only good-looking, but also very good in their acting skills. The situation is completely different from our country. There are countless reasons. One of the reasons I think of is that their country has a small population base and it is relatively difficult to make money, so only by constantly honing their acting skills can they stand out, and our filmmakers will get millions or even tens of millions when they appear on a show or do a live broadcast. Since it can prove easy to make money, why do you have to work hard?
Han Xiaozhou is not only good looking, but also very good at acting, especially in this movie. She also won the Best Actress in the Blue Dragon Film Award, one of the three major Korean film awards that year, for this film.
For The Watchers, I'd love to share its plot and storytelling skills. This makes the length of the article very long, and it is difficult to make the structure of the article well-proportioned. So I'm going to share my analysis of the film's storytelling skills in several installments.
"Conflict" is the magic weapon for making a story compelling. In the next issue, I will analyze the clever use of "conflict" in this film's storytelling technique. There will be a period later.
The article was first published on the public account " Berlin Cinema "
