Today, let's talk about the Korean movie "The Insider".
The film title Inside Men (2015), alias Cold Current Black Gold (Hong Kong) / Evil New World (Taiwan) / Insiders / Insiders.
The film, starring Lee Byung-hun, Cho Seung-woo, Baek Yoon-sik, Lee Kyung-young and other well-known actors, uncovered a conspiracy of collusion among the political, business, and media circles in South Korea.
According to the Korean film rating system, "The Insider" is a "19 Ban" film. It's not that the pictures in the film are so irritating and explicit, it's just that the scandal exposed in the film is too shocking. If you show it to a child who is too young, it may have a bad impact on the growth of the child.
With its outstanding performance, the film became the fastest "19 Ban" movie to break the record of one million viewers and the highest number of viewers in the first week of its release.
The film has also won numerous awards, including Best Film and Best Actor at the 37th Korean Film Blue Dragon Awards, Best Actor at the 10th Asian Film Awards, Best Actor at the 52nd Baeksang Arts Awards, and Best Actor at the 53rd Korea Film Awards. Movie Bell Awards Best Picture, Best Director, Best Actor, Best Supporting Actress, Best Screenplay, Best Planning.
There are mainly two factions in "The Insider", one is the bourgeoisie represented by the political, business and media circles, and the other is the proletariat represented by prosecutors and underworld gangsters.
Due to the different nature of classes, there are inherently irreconcilable class contradictions between the two forces. It is only a matter of time before the conflict erupts, and they only need a small fuse between them.
Politician Zhang Pil-woo is a member of the new political party. He is currently at a critical moment in his presidential campaign. With his help in the business and media circles, Zhang Pil-woo is strong and has both sides. He is a favorite of the South Korean president.
The business tycoon is Wu Xian-shou, the chairman of the famous consortium Future Auto. Their consortium controls the economic lifeline of South Korea. Money is just a number to him. He provided Zhang Biyou with a lot of political donations and exchanged benefits.
The big man in the media industry is Li Kangxi, the editor-in-chief of the "Motherland Daily". His newspaper accepts the huge advertising fee of the future car, and is specially responsible for cheering for the future car. From the name of this newspaper, you can tell that it is a national media organization with huge influence. Li Kangxi's media influence is fully used in these areas, regardless of the impartiality and neutrality of journalists.
These bourgeoisie hold important resources and control all kinds of resources in Korea from top to bottom, from civil to military. The future of the country and the happiness of the people are worthless in the eyes of these bourgeoisie. Don't talk about national justice or happiness index, all they think about is if their own interest groups can drain the country's blood more quickly and stably.
On the other hand, those who dare to confront the capitalists are unconcerned.
As a state prosecutor, Yu Jiangxun hated evil. He was originally a policeman, with a strong sense of justice and a poor relationship with his colleagues, so he became an honorable prosecutor after passing the judicial examination. However, because he has no colleagues in the township party, lacks upper-level relationships, and is unwilling to condescend to kneel and lick interest groups, he has never been able to integrate into this circle, and lacks a way to ascend. This time, he wanted to use Zhang Biyou's corruption case to do something big.
An Shangjiu is a senior gangster who has built a local territory and has a group of loyal brothers. After he first got acquainted with Li Kangxi, he became Li Kangxi's thug. Through Li Kangxi's relationship, he got to know more powerful people, and he did various shameful activities for these powerful people, intimidation, kidnapping, assassination, pimping, as long as the powerful people ordered , An Shangjiu followed suit.
An Sangjiu's ambition is not to be a gangster. By coincidence, he got the black information between the future car Wu Xianshou and Congressman Zhang Biyou, and couldn't wait to ask Li Kangxi for credit. As everyone knows, Li Kangxi and the other two big men are in a bare-ass friendship, and An Shangjiu seeks his own death without knowing it.
The battered An Shangjiu was eager to find an opportunity for revenge. After hitting a wall many times, he teamed up with prosecutor Yu Jiangxun, and finally announced the ugly behavior of this group of capitalists to the world.
Those who steal the hook are executed, and those who steal the country are called princes.
The gangsters of An Shangjiu's level are at best a contradiction among the people, and they can be wiped out by a special campaign to eradicate gangsters and evil. On the other hand, Zhang Biyou, Wu Xianshou, Li Kangxi and others exist beyond the legal system. The law is a violent tool to maintain the ruling class, and they are the ruling class.
Laws and regulations are made by them and serve them. Wanting to punish these country worms through the rule of law is tantamount to fooling around.
They dominated the country's economic lifeline, disrupted the country's political ecology, and made the whole country a mess. They put on clothes, suits and leather shoes, and they all look like dogs.
But this is not the most terrifying thing. The most terrifying thing is that most of the people don't know about it. Even when the truth is in front of them, the people will still believe these bigwigs.
Just like a monologue after Lee Kang-seok was imprisoned, the people are like pigs and dogs. There are so many hot issues in society, they can easily manipulate public opinion, and they don't need to worry about how the public will react.
Even if the scandal of a big boss is exposed, in the era of entertainment to death, a new hot spot will appear in at most seven days, and the public's attention will soon be drawn away.
Only the dictatorship of the proletariat can seek happiness for the proletariat.
"The Insider" ruthlessly pierces the rotten face of capitalism's rot. It is never possible to rely on the capitalists to save their own lives. Only by placing hope on the proletariat and crushing the capitalists with the iron fist of the proletariat can this country have hope of rebirth.
The only way to defeat the capitalists can and only rely on the proletariat. Just like those who are barefoot are not afraid of wearing shoes, the proletariat has nothing and will not be restrained by the capitalists in various ways. The prosecutor in the system, Yu Jiangxun, chose to fight to the death of the octopus and shake the tree precisely because he had no backer. If someone recruited him earlier, there would be no future.
Of course, capitalist countries have a certain amount of freedom of speech, but this freedom is just as free for truth as it is for lies. It's just that the proletariat tells the truth and no one pays attention to you. The capitalists manipulate the media to fabricate lies, which can deceive the whole country.
The most terrible thing is that the power of public opinion is controlled by capitalists. Back in the day, any official blog post on Weibo could be deleted by capitalists.
After the movie "The Insider" is filmed, will Korean politics be touched a little bit? Of course not, they don't care at all.
The saddest thing is that movies can expose the ugly side of the powerful, but they are not afraid. You can shoot, watch, or say whatever you want, and they still live a sensual life. In real life, the president of South Korea can't even handle an artist...
In the film, the capitalists are criticized for being inexhaustible.
In reality, the bigwigs are still sensual.
