After watching this film, the sentence that comes to mind is: there is no sword, light and sword, only flesh and blood.
When I saw the last scene, I heard the broadcast say: No matter what, don't compromise with the criminals, and the terrorists will pay a heavy price in the end.
That's probably what it means, these words always feel extremely harsh and ironic in my ears. At this time, what I saw in the camera was the collapsed bridge and the crumbling building. In the end, who paid the heavy price? And at the moment when the male protagonist finally pressed the button, the anger continued throughout the film, and the grievance was finally relieved. When I saw the last scene, I suddenly thought: Why do Koreans like to slander their bosses so much? I wanted to laugh at this joke, but suddenly I felt that it was not appropriate to laugh at this time. The heavy end of the laugh is really out of place.
Frankly speaking, my head turned slowly, I didn't understand many details, and many plots were not straightened out in time, which was also "due to" the fact that the plot of this film was so tight that I didn't understand it. I dare not miss a word, even so, to completely straighten out the plot, I still need to go back and read it a few times, but I didn’t go back and read it a few more times. I think I already understand the key plot. .
Because of watching "Train to Busan" a few days ago, I have recently developed a strong interest in Korean movies. I want to make a simple comparison between this movie and Train to Busan. The exposure of human nature in Train to Busan is too naked, too real, and the people who watch it are too depressed, but there is still some hope in the final ending. However, in this film, in terms of expression and presentation, this film is relatively relaxed. However, if you analyze and understand in depth, the core of this film is actually more depressing than Train to Busan. The human nature described in this film is more complicated, darker and more filthy than the one in Train to Busan. There is no sword, light and sword shadow, but blood and flesh can be seen flying.
And the ending of this film is much worse than the trip to Busan. Not only does it leave no hope, but in my opinion it is even a little powerless. This powerlessness does not mean that the ending is bad, but that the result is so powerless to reality. What if the male protagonist blows up the building in the end? And I also suddenly thought that the people in this building have been evacuated. Even if the building is bombed, there will be no villains to be buried with. In the end, only the male protagonist himself, a person with an unblemished conscience, will die.
What effect does this ending have on reality? How many people know the truth about this whole thing? In the end, the little boy did not get a simple apology for his dead father. The TV station chief who stabbed him in the back was still a prosperous official, and he was not punished. The president who refused to admit his mistakes still claimed that everything the terrorists said was true. On the contrary, a man with an unshakable conscience who was claimed to have "lived like a dog all his life" died, an upright and kind female reporter died, and a worker who was treated unfairly died, who just wanted to To seek justice for his father, the child who may not have planned to kill from the beginning to the end dies, what is left for us? Where is hope? The film does not give any clues of hope and hope, and there is no clue to prompt someone to reveal the original story in the future, nor can I see the public's reaction to this matter, whether they realize that the high-level actions are inappropriate, they Do you realize the helplessness of this little boy who was forced to use this extreme method to get justice? In fact, the boy didn't want much. Maybe the compensation was not in his plan at the beginning. What he wanted was nothing more than an apology.
However, in terms of technique, I think the ending of this film is very well arranged, leaving a huge space for people to play. You can't stop thinking about the reaction to the public when the whole building was bombed just after it was announced that the terror had been lifted.
The ending of this movie reminds me of "Chernobyl" I watched not long ago. The two films don't have much in common, I just feel that there are some similarities. It is unwilling to come forward and admit mistakes. However, someone in Chernobyl finally told the truth in court, but this film, why does not leave us with the last hope. Maybe, maybe the real world is like this. This film is not an adaptation of a real event, but if it is a real event, I think the ending in reality is like this. Thinking of this, I found it irrefutable. If such a thing really happened in the real society, what would I hope the result would be like? What will the actual result look like? Although there are no such extreme examples in real society, are there many things similar to this incident? Hasn't there been a lot of things like this that have just been covered up?
If horror live streaming does happen one day, what kind of ending do we hope it will be? Could it be better than the ending of the movie?
In the end, I still want to give the Koreans a thumbs up.
