The film is set on the eve of the Korean War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression in 1933, which adds a bit of grief. The Korean Provisional Government fell into a difficult period after the 1920s. The Boxer Regiment, headed by Kim Won-bong, carried out many assassination and sabotage operations in the 1920s. In 1931, Kim Jiu established the Korean Patriotic Regiment for a more active anti-Japanese battle. In 1932 In the same year, Li Fengchang's righteous man was arrested and sacrificed after his attempted assassination of the Japanese emperor in Tokyo. In the same year, Yin Fengji's righteous man successfully assassinated the Japanese army general Yoshinoro Shirakawa in Shanghai Hongkou Park. This incident also became a turning point for the independence struggle movement. , various anti-Japanese independence movement groups also began targeted unity and cooperation. The film tells the story of the interim government agents planning to assassinate pro-Japanese factions in Shanghai and the capital city of South Korea.
In the film, An Woyun, a sniper of the Korean Independence Army played by Jun Ji-hyun, and Mitsuko, the daughter of a daughter, are twins but have completely different situations. One is the unpretentious assassination leader carrying a sniper rifle and wearing a pair of broken glasses. It is a wealthy young lady who is wearing a Washington mansion with exquisite makeup and was raised by her father. Compared with a large number of lines, the director pays more attention to describing the complex inner world of the two people, so that the audience can be immersed in emotion. The interim government police chief Lim Seok-jin played by Lee Jung-jae is a double-faced agent. His dual identities make the original simple assassination mission into a more complicated triple assassination: Yeom Seok-jin organized an assassination team to assassinate senior Japanese officials and pro-Japanese factions. Behind the scenes, he revealed the mission to the Japanese, and hired "hunters" to assassinate three members of the assassination team he sent. At the same time, the interim government special team began to doubt his identity due to the failure of the assassination mission. The assassination order of the town mutiny was executed in situ, which made the whole assassination story even more thrilling. In the film, "Rapid Fire Cannon" Qiu Shangwo, a graduate of the Xinxing Military Academy, Huang Desan, a demolition expert, the killer Hawaiian Pistol, and his partner Pomad are a group of fighters who fight for national independence. They have their own unique skills and risk death. Determination, to do whatever it takes to accomplish the task, bears a striking resemblance to the heroic figures that emerged in China's War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression.
I hope the patriotic feelings of "Assassination" can make us remember these heroes who are not for the small family but for everyone! These heroes who sacrificed their lives for their home and country! As the director said, "The expression of patriotism is not to make the audience feel that they must be patriotic, but to naturally make them feel patriotic."
