How should I put it, I haven't seen such a wonderful movie for a long time. After watching the movie, there will be a strong heartbeat echoing in my chest. The film was adapted from the life of former South Korean President Roh Moo-hyun, but the film only moved Roh Moo-hyun's life to the protagonist, who was born in poverty and became a person respected by the society with his own efforts. It is easy to make many people who don't know the truth have an unreasonable favorable impression of Roh Moo-hyun after watching the movie. We will not make any comments on Roh Moo-hyun for the time being (Google it, you will know), just a few of my own opinions on the protagonist and the movie. Do some summaries and share your views.
the truth.
Although the truth has been told in the course of the film, in the era in which the protagonist lives, the truth only lies with a few people, or only with people with lofty ideals who are eager to seek the truth. In the film, the protagonist is first a little lawyer who does not know the truth (or does not want to seek the truth), and has to come into contact with the cruel truth of that era step by step. When the protagonist was in the penultimate defense, he was thrown eggs by people who did not know the truth when he entered the courtroom, which vividly depicted the sorrow of that era. As a Chinese, or a small group of Chinese, you will be deeply I was moved by this shot, maybe the makers of the trailer also felt that this was a strong contrast between ignorance, savagery and freedom and sublime, and specially put this shot into the trailer. But I think this should be a satire of the director, a kind of savage attack on freedom. Brutal, always powerless.
promise.
The protagonist's market spirit is also a highlight of the film. Like many people at the bottom of society, the protagonist's civilian atmosphere is also particularly attractive. Perhaps such a person can better represent the message the director wants to convey. Such a person has ordinary The love and hatred of the people, he represents the process of ordinary people from ignorance to awakening. In the same way, after awakening, he did not lose many of the simple, beautiful and great values ​​in him before. Many plots in the movie are apt descriptions of these simple values. For example, when the protagonist was a poor student, he ate the overlord meal of the noodle shop owner's wife, and after he became a lawyer and made a fortune, he did not forget to come back and apologize to the owner's wife. : "Since ancient times, there has been no need for money, and the exchanges have turned into clouds", which also reflects the kindness and simplicity of ordinary people. And the state where the protagonist fought a lawsuit for the proprietress's son under enormous pressure later sublimated this beautiful belief from ordinary people, shining brightly. In front of this beam of light, power and violence are like hitting a stone with a pebble. .
Hit the stone with an egg.
This should be the core of the whole film. He just rightly portrayed South Korea at that time, and it also coincidentally mapped China at this time. Under violence and power, we have lost our original kindness and original intention, and lost the light that many ordinary people should have. They are negative, dark, and have no ideals. We are afraid of other people's rotten eggs, but a little bit become rotten egg throwers. We lose the patience to explore the essence of things, think that the egg is the egg, it is always weaker than a stone, we are reluctant to try, we are afraid of failure, we are afraid of the truth, we are afraid of commitment.
This is a simple movie, but also a complex movie. It is a small but great story, suitable for Chinese people to watch and ponder. Are eggs really always eggs? Is a stone always a stone? This film will teach you the power of faith and awaken the greatness deep within you.
PS: This is the director's debut? ! unbelievable! ! !
