This movie is very interesting. It is similar to the setting of "The Mist". It is also about the distortion of human nature. It also makes people feel hopeless and confused. There are oppressors, rebels, cowards, and strong people. However, the threats faced are different and the purpose of resistance is different, which makes this film even more distinctive.
At the beginning of the film, the soothing and gentle music took us into this dilapidated fishing boat. The crew had a relaxed and pleasant conversation. The captain prayed that the fishing would return with a full reward while watching the report of the financial crisis on the TV, basically revealing the characters and personality traits of each person. As the leader of the fishing boat, Chang Jiang Zhezhu is calm and calm, but he is relatively superstitious. A person in the captain's room also has a touch of loneliness; the commander Wan Hao (Uncle Tiger) is honest, kind and reliable; the deck commander Haoying is the captain, and is an action group who absolutely obeys the captain's orders; the roller Shoujing seeks rude forces and advocates money supremacy; crewman Chang Wook, as a single virgin, talks about his desire for sex all the time. Zhu Dongzhi, as a graduate of the Maritime School, is honest, down-to-earth and hardworking. Six crew members with different personalities are bound together by a search for a fishing boat.
In 1998, the financial crisis that first appeared in Thailand and then affected the whole of Asia broke out. Enterprises laid off workers one after another, and the traditional fishing industry became increasingly depressed. Chuan Changjiang Zhezhu spent all his loans, his wife cheated, and his life was extremely difficult. In order to save the old fishing boat, which is regarded as his own life, he took the risk when the boss threatened to sell the boat, not smuggling gold watches, but smuggling Korean smugglers from China, and started a "snake head" business.
After a heated discussion (there is one detail that you can savor after you have read it, the captain's decision to transport the stowaways did not have the prior consent of the other crew members), the six crew members reached an agreement, and on a night of thunderstorms , the fishing boat successfully took over the "goods" (one of the girls named Hongmei accidentally fell into the water, and Zhu Dongzhi risked his life to come forward and pave the way for the film). Wait for the boss's next order.
After the stowaways boarded the ship, the director focused on portraying a thorn, an elementary school teacher, and two only female characters, Hongmei and Aunt (the editor really didn't know what her name was and had to use "Aunt" instead). Chitou started to complain when he ate instant noodles, and later hid in the fish tank to take the lead in resisting, and he always had strong hostility towards the "fishing boat six". As one of the few intellectuals among the stowaways, the primary school teacher took risks not to fill his stomach but to bring the hope of the whole family, and won the strong favor of Uncle Hu. Hongmei is a relatively simple girl with a kind-hearted nature and does not want to be treated differently. On the contrary, the idea of aunt is more mature, always thinking about entering the warm cabin through trading, it is best to become a local Korean citizen and escape the inhuman life before.
I thought that the main plot of the movie would be carried out between the two camps, but in fact, the struggle ended abruptly after only 10 minutes. In the protests of stinging righteous words and the call for human rights, the captain chose violent suppression. "This is my ship, I'm the captain, and on this ship I'm the president, the judge, and the king." In order to further intimidate everyone, the captain threw the thorn into the sea, and the stowaways lost in the first round. . However, with an unintentional action of Hongmei in the cabin, the stowaways camp was destroyed by Vastu in the fish cabin, and the film entered the first small climax.
When the sea fog that could not be seen from a foot away came, everything changed... When the corpse in a cabin made everyone at a loss, the captain stood up again, and feeding the fish was the only one they had. s Choice. Afterwards, Uncle Hu couldn't stand the condemnation of his conscience and initiated the idea of calling the police and was killed by the captain. Hongmei accidentally witnessed that he would be dealt with by the captain. The deck captain Haoying executed the order and died accidentally in the fight. Axis hand Jingqiu was later KOed by Dongzhi. In the end, the captain was dragged to the sea by the iron rope of the sunken ship in confusion and reluctance. Except for Dongzhi and Hongmei, no one got a good death.
In the film "Sea Mist", this dilapidated fishing boat is like an independent kingdom, and the boat Changjiang Zhezhu (uncle Jin Yunshi played this role as a good old actor) as the ruler of the kingdom, has Innate leadership ability, his character is firm and assertive, he will do anything to achieve his goals, he knows how to bribe patrol officers, he advocates authority and even a little conceited, but also because of superstition and his wife's derailment, he has a natural dislike for women, especially It was the idea that letting a woman on board was a bad idea, which made him conflict with Hongmei even more. But on the other hand, he attached great importance to friendship, and he had a similar reluctance to give up to the fishing boat "Advance".
As the oldest old employee, Wan Hao (Uncle Tiger), the head of the agency, is the captain's sub-father and a worthy minister in the kingdom. As Uncle Hu, who is a relatively old character on the ship, Dong Shi thinks that even the captain should act according to his face. He respects intellectuals, fears life, and is kind-hearted and always considerate of others, even if such a person is destroyed by the captain in the end, which directly leads to Dongzhi's inner change.
The deck commander, Haoying, is a faithful executor of the captain's orders, and also plays an uploading role in this kingdom. Throughout the whole movie, several times when the crew complained about the captain, he was always defending the captain and persuading everyone to obey the order. His nature is not bad and he is reluctant. Regarding the captain's later almost paranoid decision, he did not throw Hongmei into the sea, but just locked it in the fish cabin and planned to make a long-term discussion. Therefore, the director's handling of his accidental death was actually a personal respect for this man in a dilemma, rather than letting him Dilemma broke into the two sides of the carnage, it is better to leave the world early, so as not to be disturbed.
The roller hand Kyung-gu is the most unstable factor on the whole ship, just like the traitor in the kingdom, he is snobby, loves money and loves women, he is full of foul language, conflicts with Dong-sik, and also beats the crew member Chang-wook because of "big mom" Bloodshed.
At first glance, Chang Wook's extreme desire for sex seems unreasonable, but from his dialogue with Jing Qiu, it can be seen that as a little virgin who has never been valued by women and has been sexually repressed at sea for a long time, he is very interested in women. The desire to reach the point of paranoia is not a fantasy, and it also reflects the realistic problem of the current crew's sexual repression.
Dong-sik is more like the peasant class in the kingdom, who eventually overthrew the captain's tyranny through a peasant uprising. From the beginning for the honest work of grandma, everyone can issue orders to him, and later to save his beloved, he did not hesitate to turn against other crew members... In the end, although he still loves Hongmei, there are lovers who can't be married. Live like a walking dead at last. Does it mean that the peasant class cannot maintain the fruits of victory....
As for the stowaways, they are more like refugees from the kingdom, asking for help from the kingdom, but they are always regarded as the slave class. As inferior people, the captain calls them inferior people , can only shrink in the fish cabin, and if you want to enter the cabin, you will have to pay some price, and even the dead body will not be peaceful after death. This is the real situation of stowaways. The editor heard that this movie is adapted from real events and is taken from the 10.08 "big case that shocked the world in South Korea, but the facts are far more heinous than the movie.... Friends who are interested can search for relevant news.
Finally Let's analyze the character of Hongmei and her love with Dongzhi separately. Hongmei is the trouble in the captain's eyes, and in fact it is the fuse of the whole tragedy (although she did not intend to), because of her, Dongzhi almost Drowning to death, because of her, a ship of stowaways died of poisoning. Because of her, Dong-sik fought with the captain, and several people who were originally united on the whole ship had a ghost and fought each other. Because of her, the fog of humanity on the Advance will never be dissipated. .
But she is really a kind girl, and she doesn't want to be treated differently from others, so she can't do transactions as calmly as an aunt. The editor also has reasons to believe that the love between her and Dongzhi is sincere, not because some netizens think that it is out of the intention of taking advantage. As for giving up being with Dong-sik in the end, it was because Hong-mei's heart was fragile (but is it really good not to ask people to help save people when Dong-sik is still awake?). In fact, Hongmei is indeed not a typical female man. She is very fragile, she is afraid of jumping off the boat, she is afraid of seeing broken corpses, and she is also afraid of life threats. She doesn't want to face the sad memories, she can only hide her love in her heart silently. From this point of view, although the director's final treatment is an open ending, it is definitely more realistic and real than the happy life of Dongzhi and Hongmei (faced with such a big historical shadow, who can The performance is at ease), what's more, from the last look of Hongmei's eldest daughter and Dongzhi and Qingyang Chili's remarks, Hongmei's feelings for Dongzhi will never be wiped out. For Dongzhi, Maybe enough.
"Sea Mist" was directed by the talented director Shen Chengbao (the director of Memories of Murder). Although the actors were commented by the media as "the ugliest actor league", their acting skills were by no means the ugliest, especially Uncle Kim Yunshi, who continued to be fast, accurate, and The ruthless and rough image and the underworld emperor's style make this movie even more beautiful. "Sea Mist" is the only film in South Korea that was shortlisted for the 72nd Golden Globe Awards and qualified for the Best Foreign Language Film Award. It interprets the loneliness of the prisoner's kingdom and the unmeasurable fog of humanity. is just right.
