Haiwu is a very brilliant work. The director is Shen Chengbao. As the producer, Feng Junhao also added his own consistent style. The characteristics of the times are strong, and it does not exclude the bottom. It analyzes people's actions thoroughly and clearly. Exactly. After watching Feng Junhao's Oscar work "Parasite" in 2020, I suddenly recalled this work and was moved.
From the background, this drama is positioned in the time period after the financial crisis in 1998. In the 1980s and 1990s, South Korea experienced great development and construction. Indeed, there were many smugglers from China and North Korea at that time who came to South Korea to make a living. It's true (of course not only Korean). Offshore fishing activities themselves depend on technology and luck. Because the capital flowing in the market tends to be conservative, this risk is becoming more and more difficult to avoid (fishing boats are in disrepair and equipment is difficult to update. This is reflected in the fact that creditors are more inclined to get their money back is manifested)
What makes this play mature is that it abandons the point of good and evil, and advances the story from the human situation and behavior itself. Everything seems to be unavoidable and helpless. Of course we can say that this is absurd. After all, the screenwriter has joined an absurd and unreliable crew, an irritable and unprincipled captain, and a shrewd and tangled marine officer. However, if these "pig teammates" are not in life Existence, there are definitely a lot of people who come over and slap me in the face. It is quite normal to encounter a stupid and critical boss, a kind-hearted and sinister co-worker. First of all, people's personality and various experiences will become the benchmark for behavior, and people themselves are constantly changing. When I meet an old friend whom I haven't seen for many years, I always say nothing, and after being sighed by him, I have changed a lot. In fact, the only constant in the world is change itself. If people have not changed for too long, they will be abnormal.
The emotional line of the show should be interesting first. There are a few lines in it, let's sort it out: the first protagonist (Mist), the captain, loves the boat more than his wife (the role model of the admiral). To say that he loves his crew, he does not love it, because he can easily kill the crew members who disagree with him. In the end, he would rather close the fish tank and throw the crew members away and find a way to plug the loopholes, but it is clear that the ship has no crew. An empty shell. But if I were to criticize him too much, I couldn't do it. First of all, as a generation born in the 1960s, he slowly moved from the era of the military government to the era when the economy took off and could throw a lot of money, and then to the decline and hardships that followed, the ship inherited all his glory and represented all of him. When times are tough, it's hard to let go of past glory. This is not stubbornness, but the imprint on him in the past. Because of the financial crisis, he has actually been on the cusp of "keeping his boat at all costs, and there is still a chance to make a comeback." It's a pity that the tide of the times does not give a person too many opportunities
Then there is our male protagonist Dong Shik, born in the 70s (probably in high school), with some cultural knowledge, he is kind and simple and lacks emotional experience, and fell in love with Hongmei easily and simply. In his 20s, falling in love at first sight is a very common thing, but he got one thing wrong, and that is that "like", "love", and "live" are completely different things. These things are not a relationship of inheritance. People don’t necessarily fall in love because they like them very much, nor do they get married because they love them deeply. Adults are quite self-willed animals. As I said before, people are constantly changing, and their feelings are quite easy to pass. Although his infatuation with Hongmei is too conspicuous, for Hongmei, he liked it a little when he was first favored, but as his compatriots were divided, his role was more like a rope on the edge of a cliff , what she desires more is to live, not the love between men and women. In contrast, the aunt who easily trades special treatment with py has obviously seen through all this. It should be said that it has nothing to do with people. If you are over 30, have experienced a lot, and know a lot of rules, you will naturally not be in some things. Will twist. The male protagonist's kindness is just wishful thinking. Although it is quite beautiful, it cannot dilute the impact of the incident on Hongmei's heart. Let's imagine, if Hongmei becomes her partner in the end, she will recall those horrible memories every day, and the days will pass, and the so-called "like" will soon fade away. If there must be a place to take the blame for this tragic relationship, it is that he met Hongmei, the stowaways, as a stowaways crew member. The position is that they will never be able to cross the gap, at least even if the smuggling is successfully completed, as a stowaways, the idea must be as safe and stable as possible, then you must want to avoid these people who have done illegal acts. It can be said that the tragedy is nothing. can be change.
As for Hongmei, many people have made a lot of "conspiracy theory"-style speeches, such as "pregnancy theory" and "husband theory", which are very funny intuitively. At a simple age, people's thoughts are very simple, and it is not necessary for her to carry many conspiracies. To be honest, the screenwriter was very attentive when portraying this character. Whether it is "brother", calculating age by zodiac, details such as "instant noodles", or Hongmei's own idea of holding a group to keep warm, they are all very Chinese operations, at least they can. It is said that the screenwriter has carefully observed and studied these Chinese migrant workers. Although the aunt and thorn that Tim brought in are quite Korean (or exaggerated), I think these characters are more for foil, if removed, the heroine will appear quite mediocre, and the viewing value will drop a lot (let alone no What a nice makeup bonus). The details of the last pepper are actually not so much that Hongmei has not forgotten Dongzhi, but it is more like the resonance in Dongzhi's brain. After all, we don't know at the end whether that person is Hongmei or not, not to mention that they didn't say hello. The more likely thing is: this is just a similar back, and the unintentional and unintentional words aroused his lovesickness for the old friend. Feelings. This is not a sublimation point, but a blank.
We divide the crew into several categories to consider. The chief engineer and Dongzhi are one kind of people. They are kind and simple, and have a high bottom line of conscience. Even if the death of a person is just an accident, they still fail to accept the fact. It can be said to be kind and simple. Ordinary people; Qingjiu, Haoying, Yuanhao, Changxu are a kind of people, ordinary manual laborers, without overall awareness, self-priority, exposed sexual impulses, it is also a very normal description; Chuan Changjiang Zhezhu, has a bandit, He is irritable, loves boats like his life, and is not good at getting along with people. If you must find a similar character in the play, it is Boss Lu. They are also "sea seekers". The sea has recorded everything about them, whether it is good or evil, or the bottom line. Even when the times are difficult, they would rather break the law and continue the business of "seeking the sea". I know I don't understand how crazy these people are for the sea and boats. They despise their former colleagues who became construction workers, which shows that this kind of obsession is deeply ingrained; the next category is the maritime officer, who is also a Ordinary people, first of all, he is well aware of the rules of the sea. Maybe he is just trying to scare him or he really wants to act impartially. The thorns at the back may be public or selfish. I say this because in the end he gave up. The harsh words you saw in the office. He may have a little ideal, but he is afraid of power and chooses to compromise with reality.
This show is quite inspiring for a leader. First of all, the balance between the subordinates should not be destroyed at will. The last crew fight intensified because he killed the chief engineer on a whim, which caused the balance between the subordinates to be broken, and the power of the barbarian side grew wildly, and he couldn't handle it when he arrived. to the point of. Second, his method of managing the crew is quite simple and crude, which is violence and authority, and lacks effective systems and rules. Although he knows the minimum rule of "no women on board", he lacks the response to the situation of women on board. In the end, there is also a lack of means to deal with Dongzhi and Hongmei, and a lack of means to unite other crew members to act together. From another point of view, letting the crew's sensuality and horses and horses on weekdays definitely laid the groundwork for the incident, but perhaps it was because he was unavailable that led to the retention of these gangster crew members. But from another point of view, many fishing boats in South Korea and Japan are the ultimate way out for debtors. The boat is their last home. Life has exiled them here. It is understandable that many ignorant and barbaric poor people gather here. Their tragedy may be a microcosm of society.
In this play, everyone follows their own instincts wishful thinking, but everyone's wishful thinking brings it back. Dongzhi likes it wishful thinking, Hongmei bids farewell wishful thinking, the crew wishes to have sex, and the captain wishes to maintain his little broken ship. People can be stubborn, but if they don't converge and compromise in certain areas, then the gears of society will stop. This is what life and this show have given me. Knowing where your bottom line is is very important.
