When I was full of hope that he should just want to rest for a while and not really die, songs like this played in my mind: "My belief is the boundless deep sea, and the fire in my chest is surging." The ending song of the popular spy war drama "Hidden" for several years.
I don't know what Won Yoo Hwan was thinking at that moment. I just think that when the last episode of "Hidden" is played, the revolution is about to win, but Yu Zecheng was sent to Taiwan as an excellent member of the Kuomintang. When he sat on the plane to Taiwan, he should have something in his heart. Yuan Liuhuan's mood at this moment. In the small village in South Korea where Dong Jiu lived before, people still miss Dong Jiu, the fool who once brought them laughter, but they don't know the identity of his southern spy.
Faith is really a boundless deep ocean.
The subject matter of the story is actually not new, there are too many such spy films in China. What I find interesting is looking forward to where this story goes in the future. If it is really a story of a Southern spy who broke into the enemy's interior to perform a mission and finally became a national hero, then this film will fall into the cliché of previous Chinese spy war films. The reason why "Latent" is thought-provoking is not only the ups and downs of the spy war story, but also the open and heart-wrenching ending. For a spy, the happiest thing is two things, either defeating the enemy and becoming a hero passed down by word of mouth, or being unfortunately discovered during a certain mission and being caught by the enemy and resisting After being severely tortured, he died heroically, and when he went to the execution ground, he shouted a few words, "willing to kill the thief, unable to return to the sky, die in the right place, happy and happy" and so on. As if this is the only way we have been educated, in line with heroic complexes like the heroic warriors of the Republic.
But at the end of "Secret and Great", the three Southern spies turned traitors and died at their own hands. But ah, why did I get tears in my eyes for the deaths of these "traitors" at the end of the movie.
As a southern spy, as the best southern spy, it is actually very easy to pretend to be a fool. What is rare is that in the process of pretending to be a fool, you are gradually assimilated. It’s easy to wrestle in public once a day, to defecate in public once a month, and to smirk every time a child is attacked, but it’s actually very easy, but why? Because of the "enemies" who get along with him day and night?
When the three male protagonists came together and watched the art performance in that small village, Dongjiu was still smiling silly in the joy of everyone, but I heard a certain kind of broken voice, " I was very scared. When I was a child, I was afraid that the food distribution would suddenly be interrupted. When I was training, I was afraid that I would not survive. I was afraid of being abandoned by the party. Now I am afraid because I may change. Sometimes they will be killed by opponents. These fears of death are everyone's instinct. It is not surprising that they are afraid of being abandoned by the party, because that is his belief. He believes that he will become the best soldier in the motherland, even in Sacrificing in the process of carrying out the task is also a good death. He is only worried that the party doubts his loyalty and feels that he is not good enough. But now he is afraid because he is afraid that his beliefs will change and be broken. But in fact, from this moment on, his faith has been cracked like ice.
To be an excellent soldier of the motherland is his belief and his mission as he understands, but this does not mean ignorance, he has the ability to distinguish right from wrong, he has his own thinking, he is not a trained weapon of war, he Have a soft heart. So he did not choose to die foolishly after receiving the order of all the southern faction spies to commit suicide, but wanted to find out. But he still wisely left the small village where he lived, just because he had been in love with the people there for a long time, and he couldn't bear to let them be slaughtered because of himself. So even if he has a locator in his body, he has to leave far away.
He has actually changed. The aunt who lives together, he has long regarded her as his mother, and left a message to her asking her to "don't get sick", a wandering woman in the village, he found a place for her lost son, and only hoped that she would live a good life. I don't want to say some hypocritical words like "second hometown", but this so-called "idiot" has always been insightful.
It's just that the funny warmth in the first half of the film will eventually turn into the sadness of the second half. From this point of view, Yuan Liuhuan is actually bound to die.
It turned out that his mother had been imprisoned as early as when he became a member of Unit 5446. It turned out that when the motherland issued the order that all southern spies should commit suicide, her mother had already been executed by the motherland. However, he has always retained such a belief and aspires to be the most loyal and best soldier of the motherland.
When Won Yoo Hwan knelt on the ground when he heard the news of his mother's death, I think his faith completely collapsed. The name "motherland" itself has more religious meanings than the word "country", but everything is so funny, the motherland for which I have paid my youth and blood is my own mother-killing enemy, Now they are chasing and killing themselves, and the people of South Korea, who were originally their enemies, are worrying about themselves day and night. When Yuan Liuhuan, who was injured, saw the passbook that his aunt gave him, the labels on it ranged from "Dongjiu's salary" at the beginning to "Our Dongjiu's salary", then "Second son's money", and finally "Give to Dongjiu" The money for the second son to marry his daughter-in-law", not only Dong Jiu, but even us as the audience should shed tears for the heart of this South Korean grandmother.
As the chief instructor, Kim Tae-won was aggressive when faced with Won Yoo-hwan's question, "I entrusted my mother to you, can't you even do this?", "Which is more important, the motherland or the mother?" I remembered The song "Sing a Folk Song for the Party", "Sing a Folk Song for the Party, I compare the Party to my mother, the mother only gave birth to me, and the glory of the Party shines in my heart." In a country like North Korea, this kind of song should be heard often. The motherland is the mother, and the party is the lifesaver of the people. We are familiar with such songs, and they have become our national memory. Songs like this draw on our warm beliefs and imaginations about motherhood, telling us that motherland and motherhood are one. But at this moment, Yuan Liuhuan realized that the motherland and the mother are actually opposites. That's why during the Cultural Revolution, the old ghost, as a son, personally took the Red Guards to his mother Yang Mo's house to raid the house. At that time, for the sake of faith and the motherland, the "family theory" that seems to be normal today is a thought that must be eliminated.
At the end of the story, the camera returns to the small village where the three of them once lived. The sun was shining brightly that day, Park Ki-woong was a guitarist with yellow hair, Lee Hyun-woo was an innocent boy who only knew Kim Soo-hyun as his benefactor and team leader, and Won Yoo-hwan was also an idiot. They sat together and peeled the little yellow croaker. , ask each other what life they want. So Yuan Liuhuan said that he wanted an ordinary life, maybe the same as now. Lee Hyun Woo said that he wanted to be the next-door neighbor of the group leader of ordinary people, while Park Ki Woong wanted to be a woman to be played by Kim Soo Hyun and Lee Hyun Woo. It's a dream that makes you want to cry.
But it is the most ordinary daily life of you and me today, but it is an eternal luxury for them. When the three of them jumped from the building, when they all left this world, while I was heartbroken, I couldn't help laughing and thinking:
Maybe their dreams have come true. In the next life, the three of them will still be together, living the ordinary life they want, without any beliefs to disturb them.
