The former tells us that there is no idea, truth, and law that are eternal and always correct, that everything is dialectical, and it is not black and white; Any time you draw any absolute conclusions, only after a comprehensive understanding can you draw relatively correct results, whether rational or emotional.
Frankly, I was disappointed when watching The Assassination. This disappointment comes from high expectations on the one hand, and from watching the movie in the wrong way on the other. And this sense of disappointment peaked at the end of the film: when Japan surrendered after World War II and members of the Korean Provisional Government in exile in China watched the video while chanting slogans. Not because of the clip itself, but because I couldn't understand why there was laughter in the theater when it was played.
Regarding box office volume and identity cognition:
the world is bustling, and it is only real.
Before each movie is released, the theater will analyze the director, main actors, themes, and audience positioning of the movie, supplemented by the box office, schedule characteristics and some force majeure factors of similar movies released before (pay attention to " Most of the fans of "Assassination" know that the film's original release date was in late August, and it was postponed to September due to the domestic protection month), and finally estimated a rough figure: box office volume. The cinema chain will plan the film arrangement according to the final box office volume. The higher the box office volume, the more screenings and the better the time. 3D, original sound, IMAX, etc. will also follow. Of course, estimates are only estimates. Once the estimated value does not match the actual sales volume, the theater chain will make adjustments immediately. For example, in Wu Jing's film "Wolf Warrior", the theater line had only a small number of screenings at first, and the good reputation and rising sales prompted the theater line to increase a large number of screenings in the middle and late stages.
In the context of the booming domestic film market, it has to be said that the share of Korean films is too small. Of course, there are many reasons. For example, the high influence of Korean dramas and the specific audience positioning make most people think that Korean movies and Korean dramas should be of the same genre, although the facts are quite different. But this did seriously affect the acceptance and attention of Han Ying in the domestic market. Compared with other blockbusters released in the same period, the number of "Assassination" films can be said to be few and far between, three shows a day are basically the highest number, and most of them are dubbed in Chinese (which seriously affects the viewing experience).
Although I don't want to say it, the choice of the theater line is indeed correct. In terms of the market: the audience is small, and the publicity is basically zero. Except for Korean movie fans, there are only a very few couple fans who are attracted by Jun Zhixian. Private rooms can be seen everywhere. From the film itself: "Assassination" is a film made for the local market and full of Korean historical and cultural characteristics. They do not have the same national sentiment and cultural perception. Just relying on the word "anti-Japanese" is like fully understanding the whole film, which is simply impossible. It is a pity that the reason why this film was introduced, and the reason why it was introduced so smoothly, was because of the spring breeze of the 70th anniversary of anti-fascism and the theme of anti-Japanese.
The enemy of the enemy is a friend, but no matter how good a friend is, it is not us. We may have similar feelings in a certain detail and a specific environment. But what we experience is at best similar, not the same. Differences in identities, as well as ethnic and cultural barriers, do not mean that you can cross the past. To others, these are real, they are infectious, and they are worth remembering, but to us they are just four words: nothing more.
About the movie: The cast of
this film is luxurious, and the local box office really proves this. Known as Choi Dong-hoon, who knows the taste of Korean audiences best, popular actor Ha Jung-woo, "Silent Samurai" Lee Jung-jae, national girlfriend Jun Ji-hyun, gold medal Green Leaf Oh Da-su, and Zhao Zhenxiong. The performance of many drama bones is really good, and the most outstanding of them should be Li Zhengzai, who has been blackened again. A scene in the final trial can be said to be one of the few satisfying moments in the whole film. In order to shape the deformed body of old age, Uncle Jae lost weight wildly (because he didn't eat fat, so he chose to lose weight), and the picture effect was also very impactful, of course, based on his own acting skills.
The film is actually a spy war suspense mixture built on the mainstream American film process, combined with Korean local history, culture, and emotion, supplemented by the necessary sensational techniques of Korean films, staged shots, and industrialized techniques. Although I am very reluctant to see it from a personal point of view, most of the Korean films are indeed transforming in this direction. For example, the common structure at the beginning of the film: before doing a major event, first gather a group of teammates with unique skills but different personalities and in various places; there are also intentional exaggeration and "pollution" that are common in American action comedies in authentic scenes. , humanized dialogue.
Commentary: An excellent Korean spy war suspense commercial film, which is not recommended for people other than Korean movie lovers to watch.
