I feel that domestic films are based on depicting emotions and shaping characters, while Han Ying emphasizes the analysis of human nature. After watching a domestic movie, you will remember a certain hero or person who is responsible for his appearance, but after watching a Korean movie, you can't remember the name of the hero at all. There are only ups and downs in the mind and a deep reflection on war and human nature. "Battleship Island" should be regarded as a war movie, an action movie or a historical documentary. It tells the story of a group of Korean people who were deceived into the Gunkanjima to work during the Japanese colonial rule. story. There are several very distinct characters in the movie: Suko, a stubborn tattooed prostitute and a violent but responsible gangster Cui Qixing, Su Ji, who has been dancing and crying, and her cowardly but strong father, a Japanese officer with a terrifying smile and a double-edged sword. The North Korean leader, and Park Moo-young, the secret agent who drives the plot. The war scenes in the movie are tragic and desperate, and life looks fragile under the cold firearms. There was almost an overwhelming hail of bullets on one side, while the other side fought back and wailed with rudimentary homemade weapons. From the agitation and hustle and bustle of the crowd when the plan was discovered, to the unraveling unity when trying to help up the collapsed ladder. There is no hero who changed the world in the movie, and there is no radiant savior, and the scene once felt very out of control. Everything just happens naturally with the belief in "survive" in human nature. While struggling, they cried: "Who will save me!" "What did we do wrong?" "Let's go home!" The emotional line between the prostitute and the gangster is very hazy but unexpectedly moving. The most ambiguous in all dialogues is probably the sentence: "You go first, I promise to come back and walk with you, and I will abide by the agreement." The two cherished each other in a difficult situation. Love has become one of the few warmth in the film. Anyway, I think the moment when Sueko picked up the gun and Cui Qixing walked towards her with a bullet, it was really handsome. There was no confession or crying, only a simple "you just take a break", the last two people's picture is very complete. In the end, I just want to sigh with emotion that movies with universal values are not only for the nation, but also for the world.
