Narrative style of Korean films

In recent years, I have been quite resistant to Korean films, due to their excessive exposure to the darkness of human nature/society, and making hatred and violence justice has become a routine in Korean films. Although the audience in this type of film can be emotional and empathetic, and finally reach an agreement with the protagonist, the truth, the good and the beautiful will emerge the most in the forcibly mixed human weakness and ugliness, but after thinking about this routine carefully, it is true that eating boiled fish is already very important. Delicious, too much MSG to enjoy.

Although "Horror Live" is also this routine, but it extends this routine to another level. With the rationality of the plot, it discusses a more profound topic, that is, the narrative method. If this type of Korean film does not shy away from revealing its ugliness and darkness when exposing social problems, the protagonists often seek justice in extreme ways. This is what Koreans (filmmakers) do when discussing human nature and social issues. If it is naive, then "Horror Live" shows the causes of this naive performance, and how to show its extreme/naive side from an adult's mature perspective on society. Just like the plot, hide the humanized side of terrorists from reporting, ignore the unjust side of mainstream society and not emphasize it, set the ending of the story and then tell the story, that is, let the terrorists kill all the hostages, show Showing its absolutely cruel and inhumane side, a president who doesn't talk to terrorists is actually a president/law enforcement agency who doesn't care about the value of ordinary people's lives to show the rationality of justice. Of course, this is the responsibility of the media's opinion-oriented function.

Regarding the narrative method, I have been paying more attention to a musical recently.,Although I haven't enjoyed the play live, the rich information of its lyrics is enough for me to understand the story from the perspective of listening to the story. One of the lyrics is: let me be a part of the narrative. It goes deeper to be a part of your life than to let me be a part of your story, because you tell this story and I will tell it too , not only passive participation, but also active narration, and narration can have a wider space for association.

Be a part of the narrative, which is often the most lacking opportunity for ordinary people. Regarding social issues, what we hear and see is just a narrative angle. Whether trusting authority is the most convenient/lazy and concise way to grasp information, or whether objective resources are limited, ordinary people simply cannot see other narrative perspectives, let alone participate in it, these lead us—as ordinary people Think about the limitations of the problem, as the saying goes: be brainwashed. Brainwashing exists in all corners of the world. As long as there is media, brainwashing exists, because as expressed in the movie: from what angle to report the story. No one media can be a 360-degree report. Of course, there are many levels of brainwashing. The brainwashing of the party media is not only naive and boring, but it is difficult for anyone with a little thinking ability to take it seriously; while the brainwashing on the other side of the ocean has been upgraded into two narrative methods. On the one hand, the Democratic Party cannot discuss it carefully. The truth, the good and the beautiful, on the one hand, is the hard-line truth that the Republican Party is vulnerable to, while ordinary people choose a narrative method that makes sense to themselves and brainwashes themselves.

Of course, if the narrative only talks about facts/facts, but not opinions/opinions, then the narrative will be dull, and if it talks about too many opinions and too few facts, it is extremely stupid, and Korean movies are about the opinions. The narrative method of fact, thinking for the audience, is inevitably too heavy.

    The space of "Sniper Phone Booth", the pattern of "Fight Club". The Celestial Kingdom is a country where movies are adapted, but Han Bang has movies that change the country, so ashamed!
