What touched me the most was the father-daughter relationship.

The film is changed based on real historical events. The background is that during World War II, Japan forcibly recruited a large number of laborers from North Korea to perform inhuman labor on Gunkanjima, and a large number of workers were tortured to death. Japan was defeated, and in order to destroy the evidence, all the laborers on the warship island were to be executed. After the laborer learned the news, under the leadership of some protagonists, they started a journey of resistance and escape.

Movies and TV dramas under a similar background were also produced in China in the early years. "Proof of Memories" and "Jiangtang Concentration Camp" are also about this history. Among them, the former was broadcast on CCTV1 during prime time, and the response was very great. Yano Koji also relied on this drama. Lay the foundation for development in China. Since I have seen both dramas, it is easy to understand the plot of the movie, and there is nothing new about it - the plot of the historical drama itself is not fresh. But with such a plot, the film is very well done. Every actor's acting skills are outstanding, and the quality is not inferior to "Blood Battle Hacksaw Ridge". I thought that Song Joong Ki would be the protagonist, with the halo of the protagonist on his head, and various personal heroism to save mankind. But the highlight of the film is that each character is a small person with flesh and blood, and the image is very vivid. One of the things that moved me was the father and daughter. The character of this father is very plump, greedy, sleek, and sluggish, but his essence is a little commoner who wants to survive in troubled times, and he is a father who does everything possible to protect his daughter. And in this process, his image has changed little by little, and he has been sublimated in every key decision, and the kindness, justice, and sense of nationality in his heart are reflected little by little. Appearance is for money incidentally, playing banned jazz. Then he was arrested and spent huge sums of money to bribe his friends because he molested the wife of a senior official, but he was tricked to go to Warship Island and started a hellish life.

After entering the island, he was forcibly separated from his daughter, but with his smoothness and greed, he was quickly appreciated by the Japanese, and he became one with the management staff, becoming a cigarette, wine, yellow map... All kinds of resources were all available, and he used the This greedy man. And her daughter was also occasionally appreciated by Japanese officers and kept as a maid to avoid becoming a comfort woman. When the father and daughter met for the first time after separation and saw that each other was okay, the smiles on the faces of the two of them in such a situation were very heartwarming, and at that moment the other was everything to them.

In the days that followed, the father kept secretly making food for his daughter, bribing the people around her, asking others to take care of them more often, and the daughter could still smile carefree under the care of her father. Until one day, the Japanese officer tricked him into sending his daughter to a better life. For the sake of her daughter, the father was tempted. Leaving from the officer, seeing his daughter's eyes full of reluctance, he didn't tell her, and silently accompanied her daughter to dance under the lights - the music sounded, and tears instantly jerked.

Later, the agent Song Zhongji appeared, and to save the key people from leaving, he needed his father's ability to get the key to the telegraph room, and gave him a lot of money. The father didn't want the money, and offered to help as long as he and his daughter were taken away. Then something happened, and the rescue turned into a collective escape. At first, the father was still timid and dared not kill with a bayonet. When evacuating, he also wanted to get on the boat first. After being refused, he proposed to let his daughter on board first. After the discovery, the battle started. The evacuation ladder collapsed and fell into chaos. The father also hid in the corner with his daughter in his arms, just to survive.

At a critical time, he stepped forward, braved the hail of bullets to infect everyone with his wisdom and courage, and everyone used their bodies to block the bullets and erected the life-saving ladder again. At this time, he let others go first. The battle was fierce. When the daughter's life was threatened, the timid father also picked up the gun and pulled the trigger. When the father's life was threatened, the young daughter also shivered and picked up the Molotov cocktail - murdered.

In the end, everyone finally evacuated to the boat. My father was shot and died, and Song Zhongji was the only one on the boat. He asked Song Zhongji to give the girl a bowl of sweetened soy milk noodles. That was her dream, but he couldn't help her realize it. He asked the girl to eat raw eggs, which was good for her voice. She complained that her father always criticized her daughter. Crying into tears, he nodded frequently, and finally the father asked his daughter to sing a song, but he died before the song was sung.

It’s a bit too much to write. Of course, there are many lines in this drama, and everyone’s performance is wonderful. I only wrote one line. Anyway, I highly recommend everyone to watch it.
