I haven't seen such a cool movie in a long time! Five-star recommendation "Veteran".
Clean shot! The editing of this film is neat and neat, and the use of several cuts in the first 5 minutes of the film allows the audience to grasp the tone of the whole film at once. In the second half of the film, there was an unexpected reversal, which was really an accident and added a lot of color.
Huang Zhengmin, who is known to hold up the entire Korean film, plus the golden supporting role Wu Dazhu, plus the biggest surprise of the film, Liu Yaren, the four students of Chungmuro Road, the actors performed their respective roles in the play did not disappoint the audience. (declaring each actor one by one)
In the past, Korean crime movies were all about the black government, and all black and white confrontations were the battle of wits of those above and the courage of those under them. There is no more intense physical conflict between the two "leaders", and "Veteran" is simply that you have committed a crime, and the police are here to arrest you.
5 minutes after the film, the fight scene between Huang Zhengmin and Liu Yaren was so cool! Liu Yaren's death-defying punches, Huang Zhengmin's self-defense counterattacks, neat movements, and the coordination of music, the whole process was completed in one go. It's cool to watch! !
Starting from the encounter of the little people, the force of justice joined, but there will be top-down pressure in the middle, and finally succeeded. You can probably find one or two of this kind of plot synopsis in Korean movies, such as "The Defender". However , the reason why "Veteran" can become the best Korean film in 2015 is the handling of every detail, which makes the content in this story framework appear full of heart.
What I love most about this film is the grounded humour that comes out all the time. The criminal policeman played by Huang Zhengmin has to smell it after taking off his socks and then throw it aside in disgust. The police captain played by Wu Daxiu said to his boss, "Who is in charge of your weddings? It's me!" The three people in the office exchanged clothes and compared Who's scar is more awesome, and the three members of the criminal police team used "rock-paper-scissors" to decide who to knock on the door to arrest... There are many such humors, all of which relieve the tension caused by solving cases or fighting , and also adjusted the rhythm of the entire film.
Personally feel more humorous clip screenshots~
Let's talk about Yoo Ah-in! The biggest surprise of this movie. When watching "Si Mourning", I also hoped that Moon Geun Young's wife and Yoo Ah In would have a relationship scene, after all, he is so handsome! but! I didn't feel that way at all in "Veteran", what's wrong with you being handsome! You can do whatever you want!
The second generation of the chaebol, played by Liu Yaren in the film, always gave me a cold and cruel, inhuman feeling. Ignore life, let my son watch his father get beaten, think that money can solve all problems, and finally use money to find a scapegoat.
All of Zhao Taiwu's violent behaviors are full of irrationality, or in order to completely vent his anger , he abuses women for no reason in his first appearance; in the fight with the bodyguard, because he has a tendency to lose, he breaks the bodyguard's foot; If the situation was not under his control, he beat him to death. I thought it was his favorite dog... The most abhorrent part of human nature was displayed on his face, it made my teeth itch, and I really wanted to rush into the screen and beat him. He punches. Too perverted.
In the last five minutes of the movie, the scene of being surrounded by the investigation team, on the highway, the drag racing scene fully showed Zhao Taiwu's irrational side of ignoring life and losing his mind.
What does this mean, Yoo Ah-in did a great job! Who would have known that Liu Yaren of "Fashion King" could turn over in 2015 by watching two million-dollar movies.
If you insist on picking faults, what is the relationship between the truck driver and the criminal police, just because of a small talk during the process of pulling the goods? Why would the criminal police help the truck driver, just because of the sense of justice that was aroused during the chat and the development of the situation? I personally think that the prospect of this part is not enough.
