Insider

The three-hour director's cut version of the Korean movie "The Insider" makes people feel desperate for reality after watching it. The original book of this film and one of the best Korean dramas, "Misheng" are the work of the same comic writer, which is characterized by a sense of reality, especially in "Misheng", more realistic uncertainty, less hard logic cause and effect . Some people say that the scale of "The Insider" cannot be shot in China. However, in film and television, I still feel that the creation of Koreans is always a "box" type of thinking.
That is, he will write in the language that sounds realistic enough, grasp a certain real problem in detail in the event, and then create a sense of complexity and reality at one point and one face, in fact, from the perspective of an onlooker , it's like a small theater in a box.
This way of thinking may be influenced by the long-standing model of Korean drama fairy tales, that is, unilinear, with obvious causal endings.
Although this "Insider" has some aspects that cannot be done in China, such as the combination of political and economic media, and on the scale of erotic and bloody images. But it's actually a simple police and gangster case solving story.
In terms of reality, it is not as obvious as "Weisheng". For some issues, it is only a combined reference display, such as the suicide of an actress. The first 90% of the whole movie has an attitude. In the end, it penetrates into the political situation, and the video leaks. It's all good here. The last abbreviated picture is the ending of the fairy tale. The two of them To be able to smile so peacefully in the end, it's too childish to fight monsters. It was an anticlimactic ending, which made the seriousness in front of them lose their temperament. I don't know how the original ended. Compared with the ending of "Weisheng", the intern did not become a full-time employee because of how good he was and how hard he worked. Still looking for another job. not cause and effect. You won't defeat monsters just because you're a good person, and you won't be successful just because you work hard. Reality is messy, and there is no obvious logic. Maybe there is, only the gods can see it clearly. Ordinary people are just working hard to earn a living, accompanied by poor luck.
The movie has been getting a lot of attention lately, perhaps because of its so-called scale. Compared with domestic films, our materials and creative talents are much more than that of South Korea, but our attitude and talents are relatively mediocre. Yet even in moderation, we are not "box" thinking. We are better than them in complex logic and multiple lines, but the fact that the works are not as good as them, there are many reasons, needless to say. And the success of Korean dramas is precisely due to their mature model.
This "Insider", plus the previous "Assassination" and "Mourning", are all box thinking. Although the latter two historical films are more sincere in reflection and positive past, the historical dramas of Korean films are still immature. Of course, there are also good films. For example, an old film "Huang Zhenyi" recently found on various movie websites is not bad.
However, when it comes to erotic films, Koreans do not think in a box, but have a very international temperament. For example, the relatively excellent "Second Love" and "Affair" will not have a tragic ending because they boldly break the tradition and rules, but have a corner-style or debatable exit. Gives a good flow of emotion and ethics.
Although "The Insider" makes people feel hopeless about reality after watching it, in fact, the so-called reality in the movie is far from the real reality.
Although reality is chaotic and messy, it also has mystery and opportunity because of it. Otherwise, where would the good and bad things come from?
There is an interesting line in the movie that says, "Saints and masters always say that reducing desire makes one young. The truth is that full desire can keep one young, and one can only stay young if one has power, money, and desire. Only when you are chasing can you feel your youth." Perhaps this is the most common description of reality.
There is also a line in the movie that says, "The common people are stupid pigs, don't care about their screams, they will stop screaming after a while." Maybe this is the so-called inside and outside the bureau.
However, let’s talk about it, isn’t it still in the bureau?
All are insiders, always have been.
As the old saying goes, self-cultivation, family order, governance of the country, and peace in the world.
So, read more books to get fit.
