A balance between emotional dramas

In fact, what surprised me the most was not the intense martial arts scenes and the majestic nuclear explosion mushroom cloud, but the most interesting emotional rivalry in this movie. Every character is vividly portrayed in my mind, there is no pale and powerless character, the simple girl cheering enthusiastically for the general in the Kaesong Industrial Park, the enthusiastic and lovely obstetrician and gynecologist working for No. 1, and the stern, temperament Bright plastic surgeons are ordinary people with complex and bright lives. There is no need to talk about the big background logic, such as China-DPRK friendship, the US-Japan-Korea alliance, the DPRK-Korea issue, the China-Japan issue, the ROK-Japan issue, the China-US issue, the US-Japan>US-South Korea, etc. Geopolitical issues. But this one hides the cry of the bottom of the Korean people, national unification, pro-American and anti-China mentality to kill Japan. quite interesting

OK, back to the topic. I think the control ability of several emotional aspects of literature and drama fully reflects the foundation of a director. The movie begins with the portrayal of Yan Tieyou's family background, and the heavy but warm family atmosphere of the daughter and wife is a clear beginning. It is a good comparison group with the family of Guo Zheyu in South Korea, and all they have in common are the love for their children. From Kaisung to Seoul, it was the emotional escalation between the two men, from the family as the breakthrough, the common responsibility for the small family to the individual responsibility and expectation for the entire country. In the middle of the emotional escalation, the story scenes are very measured, from the acquaintance in the hospital, to the relaxed candor in the interrogation room, to the joint battle when going out, and even the vulgar part of blocking bullets. In the end, cooperation and cooperation are left to save the crisis on the peninsula. , Although Tieyou is already in the late stage of cancer (some vulgar plots), but in the end, he will test the fearless spirit of sacrifice and trust in the people of the South to eliminate the nuclear bomb crisis. The routine is still the same routine, the plot is still the same old plot, and the objects of ridicule are still those, oh, one of the more interesting things is that a solution without crisis is to divide the nuclear bomb, hahaha, creative, interesting

But the director interspersed these small plots in the movie with his own ability and storytelling routine, and completed an aromatic story of old wine in a new bottle
