I watched an interesting Korean movie called "Sin City" over the weekend. The story took place in 2004, a few years later, that is, at the end of the 20th century, the governments of some cities in Northeast China cut off their friendship with the underworld under the pressure of Beijing, and they attacked the black hands and arrested many bigwigs. , the younger brothers were also caught and killed, only a small part of the fish slipped through the net, and they went to South Korea. Of course, there are also people who went to North Korea, but going to North Korea is no different from being arrested, so many of them went to South Korea. These people went to other people's sites and insisted on their own business, and they also gradually developed and expanded, forming some small gangs, and they made a name for themselves in some small cities on the border. , only relying on the local police station set up in South Korea to barely maintain order, of course, the backbone here is the hero of the film, a majestic criminal policeman who is more open to the underworld than the white one. And just when he was mingling on his own one-third of an acre of land, three bilingual triads came from northeast China, and the boss was Zhang Qian. In ancient times, Zhang Qian connected to the Western Regions, and today, Zhang Qian connected to the Northeast.
The smooth language switching ability of Zhang Qian and the two younger brothers and the unrestrained behavior of killing people have allowed them to obtain a different career from other stowaways - debt collection, and after eating creditors and debtors, their income has skyrocketed. , earning 5 million soft sister coins for a single job, and the annual income of Ren Zeping is not a dream. The core plot of the film is the story of the heroic criminal policeman and Zhang Qian's struggle.
The film is still very watchable, in addition to being able to understand the arduous entrepreneurial journey of the people of Northeast China in a foreign country in the early 20th century, as well as fighting and killing people with their lives, without guns, and relying solely on fists and knives. Zhang Qian and his two younger brothers fought very darkly. They hammered people's hands with a sledgehammer, chopped people's arms with an axe, and stabbed people in their stomachs with knives. On the side of the majestic criminal police, they rely on their fists. We've already seen this guy's big arms and big fists in "Train to Busan". In this film, he went even further, punching someone in the head and knocking them out. There is no second round. In short, this film is about learning about history and watching fights. It's dark and powerful.
What impressed me the most in this film is the role of Zhang Qian. This iron-blooded man from the black land of Northeast China kills wherever he goes, and becomes an extremist who disturbs the social order of the Republic of Korea. Itchy teeth - it's just like when you see a big guy in the village who doesn't do his job and throws stones at other people's windowpanes. Stone, except for the majestic criminal police, no one can cure him. But as I said in the last article, the stronger the villain is and the more miserable the protagonist is, the better the story will be. This is the reason why this film is worth watching.
This film is more restrained in sensationalism, which is better than other Korean films. But this film has not changed another problem of other Korean films, that is, it likes to be humorous, and it has erased some of the dark atmosphere. If the style is more gloomy and cold, it will be better.
