When a country is occupied by another country, there will inevitably be "national traitors", which are called traitors in China, legal traitors in France, Soviet traitors in the Soviet Union, and "dynastic traitors" in North Korea. In movies, these "treacherous men" are generally spurned and killed, and it is difficult to become heroes on the screen. Because of this, the "Secret Agent" released in 2016 and filmed by South Korean director Kim Ji-woon is unique. Because the protagonist of this movie is a Japanese policeman who is a North Korean, his name is Lee Jung Chu, and at the end of the movie, he became a hero. The

movie "Secret Investigation" is adapted from the true story of the Ganges in the modern history of North Korea. In the film, the model of Jeong Chae-san, the leader of the Gangs, is Kim Won Bong. Other characters have prototypes in history. However, this film uses all fiction Presumably the director had to adopt this method in order to avoid unnecessary troubles and disputes and make creation more free. However, this kind of treatment provides an experience for movies adapted from real characters and events. It is not necessary to use the real person’s name for the photo.

film character photo director Jin Zhiyun’s film is known for its strange themes and ingenious structure, and he loves sentimental, horror and beautiful themes, so he will choose Li Zhengchu at the intersection of national justice and personal emotions. The complex character of the big decision is the protagonist of the movie. It can be said that his portrayal of this character is successful, and South Korean "national actor" Song Kanghao also explained this role well with his wonderful performance. The regiment mainly focused on assassination and destruction, and the main enemy was the Japanese who had occupied Korea since 1910. Generally speaking, whether it is China or South Korea, as long as a film and television drama "anti-Japanese" is made, it will basically develop in the direction of "sacred drama". Its basic task types are anti-Japanese heroes and masses, traitors, traitors, Japanese invaders, and basic bridges. Duan You are the cruel Japanese invaders, the accomplices of the traitors, tortures, wits and courage, heroic sacrifices, killing of enemy chiefs, and final victory. Because it is in the same category as the "anti-Japanese drama", "Secret Detective" looks roughly like a Korean-speaking "Wind Sound" or "East Wind and Rain". However, after careful analysis, "Secret Detective" and ordinary "anti-Japanese" "Divine drama" still has a big difference.

Li Zheng brought out the Japanese police to encircle and suppress Jin Jangyu. First of all, since in the past two decades, Korean commercial films have basically been based on Hollywood genre films. Therefore, even this kind of "national hatred" The character design of the "main melody" movie is also based on Hollywood's way of writing a contradictory character like "the anti-Japanese hero of the gangster". He is the same as the "screen heroes" who grew up from gangsters, bad police, and prostitutes in Hollywood movies. The series, that is, "the more problems a character has at the beginning, the harder he grows, and the greater the hero he eventually becomes." Similarly, other characters in the film also try to break away from the "anti-Japanese drama" facial design. To bring them closer to the state of life, like the leader of Yi Lie, Zheng Caishan actually used the amount of alcohol to measure whether the "morning traitor" will be instigated. The owner of the antique shop, Jin Youjin, also seems to be an unreliable guy. The rebellion against Li Zheng was also very sloppy. Of course, there are also the "inner ghosts" buried in the gang who are handsome but have lost their belief in victory. According to the method designed by Hollywood characters, Jin Zhiyun is familiar with the "anti-Japanese drama" "The character design has been fine-tuned. Therefore, from the character design perspective, "The Secret Agent" is a film that lies between the Hollywood film and the Oriental "anti-Japanese drama".

Zheng Caishan, the leader of the Volunteer regiment, "fixed" Lee Jung-chu with the liquor bureau. However, the "chariot" Lee Jung-chu is a typical character designed according to Hollywood characters, because in our thinking, we are "traitors". People can’t look back. Even if they look back, they should die in the act of redeeming themselves. However, Li Zheng was infested and died. After he came out of prison, he completed the unfinished business of the regiment and found explosives that killed the Japanese police officer. A high-ranking official eventually became a hero, and the original reason why he was able to abandon the dark and cast Ming turned out to be because he was a man of "good faith".

Faced with a choice, Lee Zheng-chu is transformed from common feelings such as the interests of brothers, family, and friends to national justice and lofty ideals before saving and helping relatives and friends are actually two completely different creative concepts. Hollywood His followers are the former, and we are the latter. Therefore, although the characters in other films make our audience look awkward, but they are grounded, and the heroes in our films that are "born great" can also be seen by the audience. Hot blood, but outAt the theater, it was difficult to find that person in life. Like Li Zhengchu in "Secret Agent", there are brothers Zhentai and Zhenshuo in "Taichi Flag Flying" in the Korean film, and the family who dug a hole on the "38th Line" in "Meeting Square" , The officers and soldiers of North and South Korea in "Common Security Zone" and "Highland War" all interpret the concept that the life and death of brothers, relatives, and compatriots precede national interests. This is different from what we have heard and learned. However, what is strange is that films made under the guidance of this concept can arouse more family and country feelings than films with "national interests first". Because, in these movies, "Guo" is a living image and individual. From the beginning of "Secret Agent", Jin Changyu, the captain of the Gangster Action Team, is a stalwart of "Guo" and was tortured to death by the Japanese police. The heroine of Yan Jishun is the strong of the "national", Zheng Caishan, the leader of the militant group, is the wisdom of the "national", and the Korean Hashimoto, who is also the Japanese policeman with Li Zhengchu, is of the "national" The scum, and of course, the traitor Zhao Huiling also represents the confusion of the "national". Who said that the country must have always been clear and clear and made no mistakes?

Kim Yoo-jin killed the traitor on the train. Therefore, the choice Lee Jung-chu faced was to do everything he could to save his brother Kim Jang-ok’s life at a critical moment. After a drink, he knew that Jeong Chae-san was a friend to make and was out of North Korean instinct. In the whole process, he talked about personal “righteousness” rather than vulgar money and great ideals. At this point, I remembered an article in which it said: The state should promote respect for Confucius, because Confucius talks about great principles, and the people worship Guan Gong as a god, because Guan Gong is the incarnation of righteousness. There are specific things. At that time, "righteousness" was more effective than "dao", but unfortunately, there is very little "righteousness" now. Many people who shout "dao" all day are actually not as good as the "moral traitor" Li in "Secret Agent". Political out.
