The noodles are delicious, the songs are good, and South Korea is really different

The story is obviously based on a leading party character that South Korea hopes, but it has become an imaginary character that takes into account the overall situation and considers the future of the entire Korean peninsula. The identity of the type character is set as South Korea himself, because his words and deeds are so South Korean, and every step follows the path set by South Korea, but he is a complete North Korean, and it is a bit disgusting. Saying he is a spy is not enough, the screenwriter is really good enough.

The ending of North and South Korea's equal division of nuclear weapons is even more nonsense, ignoring the facts and evading three questions:

1. North Korea has worked so hard to develop a weapon that is self-sufficient and externally charged, why should it give you its own martial arts, let alone exchange it for No. 1, even No. 1 himself would definitely not want it. The film mentions No. 1 only. Using nuclear weapons as a weapon to consolidate his position will not really be used. Then, according to this setting, why did he make a decision that would make his position unstable in the future? Doing so will only arouse a stronger backlash. Moderates are gradually being forced into hardliners. Look, they are only afraid of people with big sticks in their hands.

2. It is really given to you. Do you dare to ask for it? Do you dare to completely decouple from the United States? Can the United States, which is sanctioning and reducing other countries’ nuclear weapons everywhere, allow South Korea to have its own nuclear weapons? A North Korean three fat people is enough for the United States to deal with, but South Korea has the guts to want to get involved. Isn't this not enough to cause trouble for the master.

3. Assuming that South Korea really gets half of North Korea's nuclear weapons, Uncle Sam is also willing to withdraw the US military stationed in South Korea. After all, in South Korea with nuclear weapons, the existence of the US military is meaningless. In this way, the Korean peninsula can only maintain the status quo forever, and cannot complete the reunification. Everyone has nuclear weapons and no one is afraid of each other. They either exist or destroy each other. Then the reunification announced on the presidential campaign banner in the film may not be the same. A big joke.

I think Korean films like this about the reunification of North and South Korea all have a similar theme of united front implicit in it, that is, the love and peace that South Korea expects are ultimately based on North Korea's disintegration from within and unconditional disarming and naturalization of South Korea. In the end, it seems to have become the political correctness in such Korean movies.

The proposal that the protagonist finally proposed to blow up his own country's nuclear weapons and renegade generals in exchange for peace talks is not like an agent who has been educated and trained in North Korea since he was a child. He followed Nuan Nan to cure the silly white sweet uncle and listened in the car ridiculously once. NC's Hallyu song, eating a bowl of noodles made by North Korean defectors, was completely instigated. It was more like the director hoped that he would have this motive to do so, but the motive seemed so deliberate. The pure and kind North Korean agents went to bravely defeat the evil North Korea to promote the greatness of South Korea.

And at the end, when the uncle forced the protagonist to see off the protagonist, the joke about the protagonist's red elements was so harsh in my opinion, and the protagonist in the film, as a soldier who has always sworn allegiance to North Korea No. 1, doesn't care, why? Because he has completely transformed into a naturalized North Korean defector from the bottom of his heart, but the process of transformation was so unexpected.

In the end, I said that it was to stop the war, but I looked more like it was for South Korea to stop the war. The hypocritical tears rendered the tragic and solemn of a traitor, but in my heart I was secretly happy that I was the one who succeeded and embraced the South Korean allies. The hoped-for ending is completely the South Korean version of the ngo routine for North Korean defectors.

In addition, I am very disgusted with the child actors in Han Ying's performances that are overly traced, contrived and deliberately portrayed with cute characters. They don't make people feel cute and well-behaved at all, on the contrary, they only feel sensible, or The green tea that was deliberately adjusted, the people on the eight-legged assembly line pretended to be hard to stand, and couldn't win a little sympathy from me at all, although I knew that the director's arrangement was nothing more than to wash away the consequences of the protagonist's behavior in the future. It's a waste of cover and flags, to dilute the impact of some abnormal operations after the protagonist, but this kind of operation that renders tragic in advance, I'm not cold at all, and I can't resonate.

There is also the scene of the naive uncle who is the No. 1 security officer in South Korea and holds the position of security officer. He was shaking his head like a mental boy when he shared Hallyu songs with North Korean agents in the car. He couldn't be more embarrassed. The portrayal is too fake.

Not to mention that Fu does not match the character of the person who actually holds such a position, it can be explained that he wants to get along with this North Korean agent, to win him over emotionally, to obtain more information, to promote cooperation, and in the process, North Korea The agents showed complete trust, no doubt, using the topic that their daughters like common idols as an excuse, they successfully pulled the distance from the North Korean agents, and finally brainwashed them and shook them together.

But it is too naive to deal with it like this. It simplifies the complex human nature. As a well-trained North Korean agent, the public and private are unknown, and a song can turn people into rebellion. Is the spiritual world of North Korean agents so fragile? I understand the purpose of this arrangement is nothing more than wanting to take advantage of the weak part of my heart that my daughter mentioned above, to automatically surrender her mind and surrender. If I had that North Korean agent, he would have shut down his stupid and restless Qu'er. , replace him with the North Korean patriotic song "The whole world envy us".

It seems that the little children in Han Ying are the tool people who are responsible for decorating the family's misfortune, and they are the chips used to exonerate the original sin of the male protagonist. The unrighteous behavior is understood by the audience, as if all behaviors and logic are only for the sake of children, not for any righteousness, to win over the audience emotionally.

But I personally don't like this kind of emotional processing, which simplifies complex human nature, when in fact you are just promoting other people's righteousness for other people's children.
