Haeundae - Film and Reality

Maynard 2022-04-22 07:01:54

A movie about a tsunami, about disaster, about emotion, about reality.

You can imagine the scene when the most important irresistible and destructive natural disaster comes, you can imagine when the time is approaching in front of you minute by minute, when you can clearly see from the monitor Until that disaster is coming to you, and you, shouting to everyone but no one believes you, only think you are "sensational", you want to change this doomed event before the disaster comes, but there is nothing you can do, your choice Only "destined".

We thought of the "Indian Ocean Tsunami" in the summer of 2004, the "Wenchuan Earthquake" in the summer of 2008, and the "88 flood" in the summer of 2009. We had to silently accept the fate of everything in the face of everything unprepared.

I think when each of us is forced to accept all these facts, the only thing we can do is to resist to the death. Life becomes insignificant in the face of disaster. You will find that human beings are really small at this time. We have tried our best to make rockets go up to the sky, let robots talk, and let the moon be our second hometown. We think we are really amazing, but in fact we can’t resist every “careful” from the earth. "swing" or "cooling". As soon as the earth cried, we launched a flood, as soon as the earth was angry, we erupted volcanoes, and when the earth shook its head, we would collapse buildings and landslides, and all living beings had to be destroyed and disappeared...

All of this is not for sensational or appalling.

Maybe you think people who watch these kinds of films are a little pessimistic and negative. You will feel that the future is all good and everything is to win the light. This is the true meaning of life. This is true, but it is used in the wrong place. Only when disaster strikes can beauty appear, darkness can lead to light, and failure can lead to victory. The theory of relativity says so. Everything is absolutely impossible.

I am very grateful that such a movie is broadcast among all of us. Maybe it should have been "Indian Ocean Tsunami", "Wenchuan Earthquake", "88 Flood Disaster" or earlier. Maybe some people will pay more attention to life, appreciate life and be more vigilant. .

"Haeundae" was filmed in South Korea, but I think it was filmed for the people of the Indian Ocean region, the Chinese people, the people of the world, maybe when you watched "The Day After Tomorrow", you thought it was too far away, but this "Haeundae" is not. Amplify the reality in front of you more realistically. What he tells you is not only the record of a disaster, but the "tsunami" is just a small microcosm of a disaster. There are many more complicated and unknown disasters in this world. It can happen at any time, perhaps starting from oneself, starting from the side, starting from the region, starting from the country, starting from the world, we all have to live a good life and remember how many Christmas Day and Night Police we have been honored to pass through, of course. Being vigilant is not just a matter of the National Security Agency. Knowing how to survive and understanding the true meaning of life is the most important thing in our life.

Salvation is the most bitter pill I know no one wants to try. Hope is the brightest key to the future. I look forward to more people having it.

Thank you for this "Haeundae" for making me realize once again that life makes me look for hope from "disasters", and thanks to the appearance of the movie, I learn to reject the most unpalatable pill in the world and get the most precious key in the world.
