Five days after the Cannes Film Festival, it premiered on the 30th in South Korea. From the film festival with 3.5 points, the audience applauded the most times, to the unanimous approval of the jury, and the Palme d'Or. This Asian genre film, which has been characterized as a success, really whetted people's (my) appetite. So book early and enjoy early. Needless to say, it's a good story and a good film with a good crew and a good cast.
Let's talk about Li Shanjun (also an actor!), I first met this person in
(Lin Xiujing won the 2012 Qinglong Award for Best Actress in one fell swoop). His role left an imprint on the audience's (me) heart, after all, it's undeniable that good actors achieve each other. And then later (the transformation and growth of actor IU Lee Ji Eun!)
, I really engraved this actor in that, I think it is necessary to pay attention to the list of actors in the follow-up works.
There are two scenes in the film, one is in the car, it is raining outside the window. When the driver (played by Song Kanghao) is making up a story to introduce his wife as a housekeeper, he hears Li Shanjun commenting that the hostess "cooking is really unpalatable" and asks a question. "But you still love her, don't you?" Lee Sun-kyun (the male owner) leaned against the conceited and inexplicably mannered look and expression on the back seat of the luxury imported car, and the awkward line "That, of course, is love. ", let me quickly make up the scene of him and his lovers kissing each other (here is a subjective judgment and will not be discussed in detail). The rear camera shows the hostess who opened the dishwasher to take out the washed items while answering the phone, and the crooked cups and bowls...
In the second paragraph, before giving his son a birthday surprise, the two were squatting in front of the greenery and talking. Li Shan both scratched his forehead with a forefinger, showing his dissatisfaction with the driver's "boring problem" very well in line with his identity and presented in a subtle way. The actor's good performance is completely worth scrutinizing. Throughout the whole story, as one of the key clues, "the smell of dampness in the basement", Li Shanjun dismissed the male host's keen feeling and intuition, and showed it smoothly by wrinkling his brows, blocking his nose with his index finger, and glancing down his eyes. How important this series of actions is to drive the driver's self-esteem to collapse, and how important it is to stab with a knife. I believe everyone will experience it after watching the movie...
Song Kanghao, I won't boast, there is nothing to explain, everyone can feel it for themselves, about what "acting is a god". The scenes that each audience appreciates the most in their works seem to be different (this is also the side reaction that every scene is excellent...). In terms of personal preference, it is recommended to watch the "heavy rain flooded my home, the water submerged my waist, I laboriously tied up the couple in the basement, finally escaped safely with their son and daughter, came back in the rain, saw the home A mess can only be cleaned up and left quickly" The five flavors are mixed... Isn't it one of the precious abilities of a good actor to let the audience directly empathize with the character? ! All complicated emotions can be expressed in one look, and all complicated situations can be explained in one scene. For each other, Feng Junhao and Song Kanghao are both lucky and in line with each other's hearts. There are also scenes with Indian feathers on the head that audiences are talking about, and the actor whose face color can be matched and changed at any time. What words does he need to praise? !
Besides, I want to talk about Cui Yuzhi, still talking about the first acquaintance, the first acquaintance is in
, watching him play one of the four bodyguards, and then watching
. This feature film won him the Best New Actor in Qinglong in 2015, and also won the Actor of the Year Award at the 19th Busan International Film Festival. No matter the size of the role, he is a solid post-90s actor who has well-shaped roles in film and television dramas and movies, and has no lace news in his life... In
Both also contributed excellent acting skills. undoubtedly,
It is a good stage for him to go further to the big screen, create, learn, and hone his acting skills. After watching the movie, I do have a hunch that he will win mainstream awards again...
Of course, I have to say it again: a good work is always created by a good team. Two classes, three families, each of them gave a fiery and sincere performance. And director Feng Junhao, through macro social conception, micro story twists and turns, ups and downs, pinching and letting go of the audience's heart. As for the soundtrack, I believe it will make everyone feel the "cooperation and precise force" between good teams.
Here is the dividing line...
On class conflict, love, and self-examination
Due to the differences in class, each character's choice, direction, and ending are easily rationalized. When no one deliberately wants to hurt anyone, and the tragedy still occurs, the dull and depressing atmosphere of the movie is even stronger.
Like, a heavy rain. In one scene, people in a block, their homes were flooded, and they had nowhere to go, but concentrated in a stadium large enough to wait for relief. Sleep here until the next morning. People started clamoring to receive the distributed materials. In another scene, the hostess is sitting in the car, in a happy mood, and says, "It's raining so good, it takes away the dust in the air, and the sun comes out, it's a beautiful sunny day"; just like, at the birthday party, the son (played by Choi Woo-sik) ) After kissing a rich girl, he asked her with dark circles under his eyes, "Am I right here?". The girl's eyes are innocent and puzzled, (how can my brother who is studying at Yonsei University be inappropriate?) She replied that of course you are suitable...
In the theme of "love", in addition to the relationship between parents and children, the former housekeeper and her husband, I am personally very surprised that the son is determined to use the longevity stone to kill the former housekeeper and his wife who discovered the secret. , when this was the end, he was smashed twice, and he was bleeding heavily inside his head, lying in a pool of blood, and death was approaching, silently... But in the end, the one who carried him away from the chaotic scene turned out to be the one who was not deep in the world. , innocent and simple rich girl. Corresponding to the "nonsense" of the previous son (Cui Yuzhi) when he was drunk, "I want to marry her in the future, and my feelings are serious." After love, lies and class contradictions are shrouded layer by layer, it is like a fool's dream, it is still innocent, and at the same time it looks horrible. At the end of the movie, nothing is explained about the situation of the male host's family. A frightened child, a widow's wife. The girl who carried away her beloved brother wholeheartedly, she may not have seen anything. But love will not continue, only hurt and hatred will spread.
Finally, I would like to continue to subjectively explain the reasons for the different endings of "a family who can make up stories and make plans". With a little attention, you can find that all the corners of the lower social classes in the film have carried out a certain amount of self-examination at certain moments and are disturbed by different degrees of unease. And only the younger sister (played by Park So Dan) (recommended to watch)
In one fell swoop, she won the Best New Actress at the 52nd Baeksang Arts Awards and Best Supporting Actress at the 37th Blue Dragon Film. In addition, Jiang Dongyuan and Jin Yunshi in this suspense film, you deserve it...) In that stormy, twists and turns night, lying on the high-end sofa, shouting through alcohol, interrupted my father's worry about how the former driver is now, " Focus on us, can't you think of me as the center? Why bother with irrelevant people." As soon as the words fell, lightning flashed and thundered. Rolling thunder, I don't know if it can be regarded as a foreshadowing, the younger sister (Park So Dan), who has never considered others and has never been conscience disturbed, will disappear from this world.
The murdered father lived in the basement for a long time, either to atone for his sins or to fear reality. Only the letter written to his son in Morse code weaves a wish that his son does not know when it will come true, a wish that will only come true after entering the upper class of society.
"Plan? What's the next plan? I'm just talking about it casually (so that you can rest assured). What's the use of making a plan for everything in life? With a plan, can we all develop according to the plan?", Perhaps, no one can know what the father was thinking when he said this to his son.
