As for the actors, first of all, I want to say that one of the leading actors, Jiang Dongyuan, has a facial paralysis and handsomeness, and the appraisal is completed. The other star is also Ha Jung-woo, who starred in South Korea's 2011 legal crime drama "The Client". (Why can't Sogou pinyin have a name and is not well-known enough?) It seems that he is used to playing such a positive hero role. The butcher and "inversion" in this movie are also suitable for this kind of face that looks wise and foolish. Just a little bit of spit, I'm not confused about a man who is too old, and add a bushy beard to the sloppy look in this costume drama, who would think that this is an 18-year-old youth. The other supporting characters don't understand and are not good at making comments.
The film's revolt against the hegemony of the upper class and its attack on the remnants of social feudalism is understandable. Even if there are not a few thieves left to survive, the slogan in the play "combining is for the people, and dividing is for thieves" is inappropriate. Yes, it is still the old mother who "lives with her own hands" is the top priority. The butcher also embarked on the path of killing his family and turning grass into a bandit because of his greed. The film also reflects the theme that human nature is always good (although I hold the view of evil) and should give everyone the dignity they deserve. As for the foul language of Amitabha, I think it is the awakening of self-consciousness and the expression of advocating self-power. It has nothing to do with belief, only reality.
Korean movies are taught by Hollywood. The shooting, editing, soundtrack and title processing are becoming more and more Hollywood-style. The front and back shots between characters' dialogues, the overhead shots, and the horse riding scenes that pay homage to Western movies, all show The proven technology of Korean films. Of course, the Korean humorous animation style and vulgar elements are also added, showing a very strong Korean film style.
Finally, I like the theme song of this movie very much, it sounds very good. Everyone can go and listen.
