Today we talked about the Korean movie " Evil Girl ".
is titled 악녀 / Ak-Nyeo / The Villainess (2017).
This film is another masterpiece of director Jung Byung-gil following "We Are All Murderers".
"The Evil Girl" received a 4-minute standing ovation when it premiered at Cannes , which is enough to show the film's appeal.
There is no doubt that the film unleashes the most primitive and pure needs of action movie lovers, and the bold and innovative shooting methods are impressive.
The heroine Shuxi witnessed her father's murder when she was young. After she survived, she was determined to avenge her father. She entered an assassin training base established by the government and grew into a powerful female assassin.
She is used as a weapon to kill people everywhere, and she has a busy life but no rush. Shuxi is proficient in various weapons and fighting techniques, and has reached the level of revenge on the technical level, but due to lack of information and intelligence, she has been unable to find out the truth.
"The Evil Girl" does not adopt a simple linear narrative style, but rather directly and rudely opens with a long-lens action scene from a first-person perspective. All the audience has to do is sit tight, follow Shuxi forward and retreat, and complete a dazzling action scene award.
Afterwards, the film will flash back through Shuxi's paragraphs, slowly completing the ins and outs of the whole story. Although the audience will find the large action scenes dizzying at first, the plot will soon follow, at least to show the whole story completely.
The first action scene boldly adopts a first-person perspective, reminiscent of Hardcore Henry. Then cleverly use a mirror to complete the perspective conversion, the connection is smooth and the transition is natural, you have to admire the director's whimsy.
This opening battle took place in a long and narrow aisle and a confined space, which greatly reduced the difficulty of scheduling. Although the difficulty has been reduced, it is not an easy task to perform the entire battle in a complete and coherent manner with satisfactory results.
Technology has allowed the miniaturization of the camera, which allows director Jung Byung-gil to shoot with a very small camera.
has a large number of ultra-close-up shots in the film, allowing the audience to gain an unprecedented viewing experience, as if they were integrated with the protagonist and experienced various fighting and killings.
"Wicked Girl" takes one long shot one after another, and director Jung Byung-gil has many excellent ideas for action choreography.
's whimsical ideas show beautiful and excellent results under the orderly scheduling. Shuxi has completed one impossible task after another on the big screen.
No matter how you criticize the plot of the film, the action scenes of "The Wicked Girl" are all excellent. It is recommended that you jump and watch a few wonderful and tragic long-shot action scenes in the play.
Good shots will learn from each other. Another highlight of
"The Wicked Girl" is the motorcycle chase battle, a scene that inspired the film " Speed 3" (John Wick: Chapter 3 – Parabellum, 2019). A similar scene was also filmed in.
Similarly, in "The Bad Girl", the shot of xx wearing a white wedding dress to shoot her ex-boyfriend at the wedding is also a tribute to "Mission: Impossible - Rogue Nation" (2015)
The general action movies are all It is through a variety of literary dramas strung together martial arts dramas, the literary dramas explain the plot, and at the same time give the audience a rest time.
In "The Evil Girl", the situation is exactly the opposite. The action scenes of this film are too good, and the audience will involuntarily concentrate on watching, while the setting of the literary drama is too awkward, which will make people feel like sitting on pins and needles, but make the audience look very hard.
Maybe the director of "The Evil Girl", Zheng Bingji, spent all his attention on the action choreography and shooting, which seemed to be very lacking in the polishing of the plot.
's well-choreographed action sequences are impressive, while the seemingly intricate plot is rather awkward.
The behavior of Shuxi and the people around her can be called a reward for strange behavior. Serious things are always delayed again and again, and they always focus on trivial things to make a fuss. The overall behavior is very distorted. Maybe it's because I can't understand the brain circuits of these people. Shuxi came with the purpose of revenge, but she didn't love her ex-boyfriend, and her original intentions were long gone. PUA Shuxi's ex-boyfriend is even more speechless. It's really not enough to be outraged by the people. In the middle of the film,
put on a lot of sweet and sour Korean love. Before falling in love and after falling in love are action scenes full of blood and violence, and there is a sudden act of throwing dog food in the middle, which really surprised action movie fans.
Maybe the director thinks that the action scenes of this film have been shot very well, and he wants to enhance the emotional aspect and come up with a large and comprehensive work. But the fact is quite the opposite. The result that the audience sees is that the two sides are not thankful.
Action show plot embarrassing,
Valkyrie layered revenge.
