The pale sun flag hangs above people's heads, like a white curtain in a mourning hall. Bowing his head, the blood-red sun wheel was shocking.
In this land occupied by the enemy, a group of killers who made different choices explained their letters and hearts to us.
This is the story that the movie "Assassination" wants to tell.
To this day, I have seen "Assassination" twice in the cinema. Apart from the breathtakingly beautiful Jun Ji-hyun, the biggest shock to me from this film is actually not related to the so-called "patriotic theme", but the letter presented in it - belief, belief, agreement, and the turbulence with the dim yellow light In the 1990s, the sincerity and humanity of the people on the Asian soil were beating.
She is a beautiful girl. Like everyone else, she dreams of "drinking coffee and falling in love." But she knows that this must happen on her own land! Before that -
"The mission is the most important thing!"
In the days of meeting with her companions in Shanghai, An Woyun never smiled, even when faced with the Hawaiian pistol that saved her in distress, until the photo shoot. when. The moment she shouted "Long live the independence of the Republic of Korea!", she suddenly laughed, from the heart.
Restoring the land that belongs to herself and her compatriots is the whole ideal in her heart at this time...
On the eve of the action, as the captain, she said to her companions:
"Complete the task in five minutes, and we can all come back alive!
" Her life is full of longing, she hopes to live, she does not regard death as home!
However, when her companions fell one by one in front of her, she chose to rush out. When she was wearing a gray trench coat, holding a roaring submachine gun and rushing towards the enemy's car without hesitation, I thought, what I saw was the most beautiful run I've ever seen on the screen - there were tears on her face, The wind blew her orange scarf, like faith burning in black despair.
Again, she escaped with the help of Hawaii. The pain brought her to tears as he helped her remove the bullet. He asked her:
"Can we become independent after killing a few traitors?"
"When we were in Manchuria, the house leaked and we didn't repair it, because we knew that we would go home sooner or later, so why repair it... We have to let people know that there are still people who are resisting!"
In fact, everyone will despair, and the one who does not die in despair is faith!
Like a mockery of fate, she finally found out that the traitor she wanted to kill was actually her biological father.
Then, hiding in the room, she watched her father mistook her twin sister for her and shot her in the throat...
She finally chose to pretend to be her sister, marry a Japanese officer, and complete herself at the wedding scene. assassination mission. In her sister's room, looking at the snow-white wedding dress and the pictures on the wall, she couldn't stop shaking and crying. There is no so-called patriotic ambition, iron-blooded pride, and some, just the shock, fear, remorse, heartbreak, and boundless hatred of watching another self fall!
On the day before the wedding, Hawaiian Pistol, posing as a Japanese officer, asked her:
"Aren't you afraid?"
"I'm afraid."
Eddard Stark of Winterfell once said:
"A man is only brave when he is afraid! "
Afraid, but still fighting, is brave, and awakening courage is faith! ! Faith in the face of fear that is still not extinguished is truly worthy of respect!
In those years, there were many people who held the belief of saving the country, just to see if they could hold on to it. As a result, this belief has become the belief of the adherents and the demon of the abandoner.
For example, Lian Shuojin, who entrusted the assassination task to An Woyun and his party, when he was still a passionate young man who stood up to assassinate, he also had the lofty ambition to "lead a knife into a quick success and live up to the youth's head"! However, in the heavy haze after the fall, he finally chose to betray!
"I didn't expect to be liberated!"
His tone was low, mourning, and so heartbreaking!
This is probably the line that shocked me the most in this movie.
The biggest enemy of faith is often not our enemy, but we who are in despair when we can't see the hope of realizing our faith! The first step to betray our beliefs is often harmless, but in the dark, we can't see the light, and then we can't stand it...
The difference between Lian Shuojin and An Woyun is actually not the original intention. It's just that in the dark night before dawn, the former extinguished the fire of faith and chose the desire to survive, while the latter let himself burn and wanted to illuminate more people. There may be a great difference, but in my opinion, right and wrong are not so obvious, no one has the right to let others give up their lives; the idea of not letting you give up your life is not your belief after all.
If An Woyun symbolizes perseverance and Lian Shuojin symbolizes abandonment, then Hawaii symbolizes the restoration of faith. He was the one who was illuminated by her.
The encounter at Shanghai Mirabeau Cafe is thrilling but romantic. Facing her unwilling to love, he smiled embarrassingly before leaving and draped his scarf around her neck:
"Unfortunately, I don't even know what my wife's name is."
Lian Shuojin, the betrayer, asked Hawaii to get rid of her After losing An Woyun and his party, he walked the rivers and lakes with [only money], so when he recognized the woman in the photo, he still took the task. But when he saw the scarf fluttering around her neck, he couldn't let go.
In the hospital, he was moved by her conviction, and he saw that the Japanese officer who was about to marry her sister killed his Korean compatriot in the street! He told her the story of the "Father Killing Alliance", and that story was full of classical tragic fate:
"Once, there were ten young Koreans whose father won a Japanese title, so they agreed to assassinate each other's fathers. "
He finally decided to help her with her assassination plan. At the wedding scene where blood and bullets splattered everywhere, Ahn Wo Yoon is the most handsome bride I have ever seen on a movie screen! Her hatred is like a raging fire, unstoppable! However, she is a real person after all, she has a beating heart after all, she is a lonely child after all, facing her father's hypocritical confession, she still failed to pull the trigger...
Then, the gun rang in Hawaii, and she didn't need to Bearing the moral shackles of the father-killer...
"Do you know what happened to the Alliance of Killing Fathers? Some were caught on the spot, some later committed suicide, and some, like me, fell into hired killers..."
This is a tragedy about how faith is lost...
Last year, There is a movie about World War II called "Fury," and I watched it twice. In a review of "Fury", there is this passage:
"In this film that worships the Holy Tank, the acting absolutely saves the plot. The plot line is weak, but the use of details adds human depth. The tone of the story is " "War turns people into ghosts" after "Private Ryan". The three young men who shined with humanity: the little machine gunner, the German girl, and the young German soldier who finally fired the flashlight, are all because of their inexperience in the world. Simple. The three people are on the verge of falling into the purgatory of war, the war is over, or the people are dead, so the three people are free from dehumanization, which is the most moving part of this movie. "
Only the dead can see the war . end!
The fate of An Woyun is also the same. Hawaii rescued her, before her hands were stained with her father's blood...
My faith has been lost, you helped me find it back... Although I am no longer who I used to be, I am At least, it can protect you!
Before saying goodbye, she gave him a forbearance and strong kiss and told him:
"My name is An Woyun!"
On the way to death, Hawaii and the old man teased
"I'm sorry, old man, I should go to Hawaii to play first, I heard there The women don't wear clothes..."
"Oh haha, women don't wear clothes, and they can't see Japanese devils, isn't it heaven!" At the
juncture of life and death, they talked about what men should talk about, and longed for a paradise that belonged to men. A topic that is difficult to reach the elegant hall, at the most critical moment, the light of humanity shines brightly!
Because of human nature, it is tragic...
In fact, in addition to Hawaii, there are rapid-fire guns who have regained their faith... He was originally a soldier who has no faith and only seeks personal gain, but he said to Hawaii, to all of us:
" I don't want to be castrated!"
After two companions were killed, the seriously wounded rapid-fire gun resolutely chose to continue the mission without knowing the whereabouts of An Woyun. Sitting on the ceiling of the elevator, he looked so scared, but he still shot at last! Out of faith, I think, but also out of an agreement with comrades-in-arms!
As he was dying, he said to An Woyun who was wearing a wedding dress:
"Captain, you look so pretty in this...Come on, let's see you downstairs!"
Then he fell down.
That moment is so unforgettable to me...
At the end of the movie, when the assassins first arrived in the capital, the scene flashed back to the enthusiastic dance in the hotel at the point of contact, their warm smiles, and they died.
"I don't know if I can live until tomorrow," said the rapid-fire gun...
In that victory seventy years ago, how many people paid the price with their lives.
At the moment of farewell, the Hawaiian partner, the old man, smiled back and said to An Woyun:
"Hey, three thousand dollars, don't forget us..."
Even now, recalling this line, I still have a sore nose...
"We We are not afraid of death, we are afraid of being forgotten!"
When the news of the victory of World War II came, the assassins silently lit the wine in their glasses,
"I'm sorry for them...they will be forgotten..."
Yes, most people will forget. Forget the names of the assassins, they used to live vividly in the past, fought bravely for their beliefs and for our present day, and they are worthy of their hearts...
However, there will be someone who will remember them with a pure heart -
just like , When Lian Shuojin was finally killed by An Woyun's gun, he fell on a drying field... Countless white cloths rattled in the wind, like white silk on a soul-inducing banner, comforting
all the heroic spirits in the sky .
