"Battleship Island"
"Battleship Island" is a main theme drama directed by the Korean director Yoo Seung-wan, who has directed "Berlin" and "Veteran". This director may also belong to the director who can only remember the work but cannot remember the name of the person.
"Battleship Island" mainly tells the story of the Korean refugees who were deceived to the Gunkanjima during the Japanese colonial period and forced to develop and mine energy until the tragedy occurred in the end. This story is also based on the "ghost island" incident that actually happened in history. However, in real history, more than 40,000 Chinese were forcibly taken to Japan to work as hard laborers, and nearly 4,000 people were assigned to Gunkanjima. Until the end of the war, there were 722 Chinese laborers and 1,442 Korean laborers on the island. He was tortured to death, and finally Hashima, which resembled the appearance of a "warship", was renamed "Onishima".
So this is not only the sad history of South Korea, but also the painful past of our celestial dynasty. I don’t know why this movie has not been adapted and shot by domestic directors. I don’t know why, but this story was used by South Korean directors as a blueprint for shooting. Thank you. He, let us the people of the Celestial Dynasty know this terrible past.
plot rhythm
"Battleship Island" is full of plot, not only exposing the tragic history, but also increasing the intrigue between people and the interests of politicians and officials. Although the film has a frame, it can also be filled with rich content, which makes the whole story change. The more active people, the artistic processing of the ending also gives these people in a place of despair a little more hope for the future. The overall rhythm of the movie is quite satisfactory, and it belongs to the standard theme of the movie, which is discussed in detail here.
Characters and Actors Acting
The Korean uncles absolutely praised the acting skills. Several leading actors Huang Zhengmin, Su Zhibian, Song Zhongji, and Li Zhenxian all acted online, and they played the characters' inner struggles very well. The most prominent is the role played by Huang Zhengmin. The psychological state of seeking survival is fully expressed, and the plot of the father's love alone is also realized, which touches people's hearts. The actor is the actor. In this movie, I was completely blown away by the tough guy images of Song Joong Ki and Su Zhi, and I didn't have to wash it!
The portrayal of characters in the movie can also be said to be very full, each character has his own way of making a living, and the distinctive character makes the final death and sacrifice more deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.
shortcoming
"Battleship Island" as a main theme movie has all the conditions that it should have. Editing, soundtrack, and lighting have major flaws and advantages. The only thing I think is lacking is the narrative of the whole movie. "Battleship Island" belongs to a single-line narrative, but the details It's still a bit complicated, maybe because of the fast pace of the movie, the politician line in the movie is a bit confusing. As the main theme of the movie, it is very important to straighten out the details of the plot. Then, the core of the movie is a little superficial and not deep enough, and the ending is also a bit emotional, because the tears and shock points of the audience have evaporated in the final battle, and the protagonist died at the end. I feel This death plot is too deliberate and routine. And the overall level of shock is a bit under-heated. Aside from these three points, I personally think that the shooting is still great.
The progress of Korean movies is obvious to all, but I hope that China can make better movies than this kind of Korean theme movies.
To sum up, "Battleship Island" is still very good as the main theme movie, but the details are not particularly optimistic, and the overall still can't escape the sensational routine that has always existed in Korean movies. If you think these shortcomings are acceptable, then you must like this movie.
Scoring: 3 points for plot, 5 points for performance, 3 points for characterization (some routines), 3 points for rhythm (although fast but a bit messy), 3 points for narrative, 3 points for the shocking point of the main melody, and 2.5 points for editing lighting , overall 7.5 points
