The movie begins, from night to day, turmeric waves roll over the "Advance" and its crew; from start to finish, the dirty ship carries a simple and boring life. The bright red fishing net appeared as an active element. It made the audience see for the first time the risk of life of ordinary fishermen, and also secretly pointed out the different personalities of the two main characters - Dong Shi and the captain: Dong Shi is young and passionate. Knowing the world, he is a child who was forcibly pulled forward by his poor background and the world around him; the captain is ruthless and decisive, and he is a "tyrant" who hides at the bottom of life and on the edge of danger. Including several other minor characters, Jing Jiu, Chang Xu, the deck chief, and the chief engineer, they are all generally straightforward characters, and they do not go beyond the creative scope of commercial feature films.
The ship docked, the core of the narrative on land was aimed at the captain, and the man who left the sea and machinery became a pool of mud and copper scrap. In the movement and switching of the camera, we see that Captain Jiang's inner demon is the bright past, and the incantation is all women, and once the two appear at the same time, tragedy will inevitably brew. In order to make a lot of money with the children, the "Advance" sailed into the sea. The innocent Dongzhi tried to test the calm captain, "This is also the first time the captain has done smuggling work, right?" He did not answer, the ship navigator The sound of the operation betrayed his anxiety and fear like the beating of an electrocardiogram, and the smuggled gold watch on his wrist bound him like a rope in the whirlpool of desire. He punished the stowaways who questioned him, shouting "I am your president, your judge, and your father, and I am your destiny!" On the lone ship, the Advance, he was more hasty than anyone, and he wanted jail time. Firmly grasping the power of "throwing millions in one night", it seems that the power is actually empty.
The captain returned to the boat the night he discovered his wife's affair, and only this boat is home. In the small dark space, he lit, inhaled, and exhaled, and the light flickered on and off. It was the conscience and desire of this frustrated man, and it was also the last hope of the "Advance"; The corpse was destroyed, and he lit a cigarette alone at the bow of the ship, and the fireworks gradually extinguished his humanity; after killing the chief engineer, he ignited and burned the photos, the light of sin ignited, burned all his conscience, and became a trapped the beast.
Women are his curse, and I am more inclined to say that he is afraid of the opposite sex than to hate women. Facing his wife during an affair, a heavy makeup lady holding his friend's arms, and a North Korean woman jumping on the deck, he was sensitive and irritable but restrained from depression. During the sinking of the Advance, he grabbed Hongmei tightly and asked, "What the hell are you! Are you a human or a demon!" This shows the magic in his heart. It can be said that the captain's mutant psychology is more serious and terrifying than the sex-addicted Jing Jiu and Chang Wook. Hateful is a pitiful companion; pitiful is the proof of love. He hates, he is angry, and of course loves, falling in love with a pile of rusty iron that Yongyuan will not turn his back on.
Fog is the title, the environment, and the image. The white terror that accompanies the sea fog turns people into egoistic demons. The dismemberment scene was cleverly resolved by such a weather phenomenon, but the sound of slashing was even more terrifying because of the blurred vision. The human nature that follows the waves is also a fog. It is difficult for us to tell love and hate, right and wrong. We can only see the fog and haze in people's eyes and blind people's hearts.
They are all well-behaved and honest people, and they all want to live a normal life, but in order to maintain the circle of the world, they have to sacrifice the edges and corners after falling. The unreachable shore.
In addition to being emotional, I will talk about the film technology itself. Compared with other tyrannical works of Jin Yunshi, "Sea Mist" gave him a role but did not give him brilliance. Although I think the character of Captain Jiang has merit, it is also weak and tangled. Not struggling enough, other characters have also become too flat in order to set off the positive Dong Shik, which has caused Dong Shik to become a vain and flat character. The gentle and forbearing cruelty of "Memories of Murder" could not be continued in "Sea Fog". The introductory paragraphs in the title sequence are all heart-wrenching until Captain Jiang closes the hatch of the fish warehouse. The effect focuses on hearing and receives double the horror. But the alienation of human nature is too sudden, as I said at the beginning, it is a kind of "unreasonable tyranny". The film does not end with the demise of the captain, but leaves a "juvenile pie"-like separation for the young lovers. Hongmei, the only female character, becomes untenable in the final coda. Overall, there is an anticlimactic sense of separation.
