In the way Korean films are best at - sensational, suspenseful (reversed), interesting and localized (although it may be self-imposed) appearance, imitating the form of Western blockbusters, although it is a bit hard to learn - interspersed with small humor It is not so natural, and the length and connection of literary and martial arts are not good enough. A large number of movie stars and visual elements have been added to try to create a blockbuster belonging to their own country. On the subject, the relationship with South Korea and North Korea in recent years is a bit subtle. From the point of view of the film itself, the literary drama is too long, and the small humor interspersed as mentioned above is not natural enough, and some feel nondescript. The multi-line comparison "Cloud Atlas" is obviously weaker, the visual aspect is relatively simple, and the sense of space is weak. Having said that, on the whole, it is not bad, has the temperament of a blockbuster, and exerts strength in the second half. But if you look farther, when "Walking With the Gods" (2017 Korea) still made something that the West did not have into a movie, "Walking With the Gods 2" has boldly borrowed the form of a Western blockbuster and tried to compete with it. This situation is not accidental. It mainly relies on criticizing social ugliness (too famous to not mention it), and the plot is dense (too many not to mention it). Two major types of movies took the lead. After wandering for several years, many other types were counted. Good movies, the costume film "Mourning", the war film "Battleship Island", the zombie film "Influenza", "Train to Busan", Xiaoqing's "Inner Beauty" and "See You Now"... It can be said that there are many, many reasons, but The most direct and fundamental thing is the ambition of Korean filmmakers, coupled with the growing wave of film industrialization. This is a process from quantitative change to qualitative change. There is a very obscure line in the movie: "There are no bad people in this world, only bad situations." Regarding the film, it is sad to be praised for doing your part.
