I don't seem to have come across a film as puzzling as "Secret and Great" that left me with all kinds of confusion from start to finish. In the past, I was a little confused when I watched a movie and saw that the later questions were often solved, but after watching it like this, I was so entangled that I fell asleep and woke up because of a puzzled dream. This is the first time.
Starting from the storyline, this film can barely be defined as a Korean spy war film. When it comes to spy movies, can't you help but think of Yu Zecheng? Did the opening sentence I was born like a wild dog and grew up like a monster make your blood boil? It doesn't matter, it won't take a few minutes for the director to pour a pot of cold on you and calm you down so that you can't think of the future direction of the story if you want to break your head - North Korea is carefully selected, carefully cultivated, and strives for perfection. The big killer chosen by 20,000 to one turned out to be an undercover idiot in a village that didn't look like a great strategic location, and he completely knelt down. The director may think that everything makes the audience guess that I'm still a fool. The paramount task of North Korean spies is to runny nose, wrestle and defecate in public, and they also have strict planning and requirements for the frequency, until the instructors of Unit 5446 went to South Korea to end the lives of students. We still don’t understand North Korea’s espionage. true intent.
In addition to the many puzzling factors that underpin the film, the emotional bond between the two undercover agents is an emotional pillar. This emotion is not based on the infinite obscenity of the vast number of rotten women, but the ambiguous atmosphere created by the director very deliberately, the expressive camera lens and the dialogue that the characters are ready to express. This kind of emotion can not make people shout to them from the heart: "Together! To be together!"
The storyline with many loopholes and the not-so-sophisticated gunfight scenes make the spy war theme that should be interlocking and well-designed seem extremely comical. Coupled with the over-exaggeration of emotional dramas, too much emphasis is placed on the emotional entanglement between the male protagonist and the team members. Therefore, the meaning of the whole work following the main spy drama is unclear, and the brotherhood is also crooked. Themes that are usually close to the political current situation can easily resonate widely, but from this film, we only see the mutual incomprehension between North and South Korea and the North Korea in the eyes of South Koreans. It seems that there is no hope for reunification.
