National Day holiday, the cinema seems to have entered a vacuum. Following the National Day stalls in which the box office has hit a new low in recent years, the film market continues to slump after the festival, new films are absent, and theaters cannot attract audiences.
deserted theater, online disk to comfort!
lost the theater, real life continues. No big screen, but we have a home theater and can't live without movies on weekends.
Some time ago, Lee Jung-jae won the Emmy Award for "Squid Game", and his first film " Hunting " also caused heated discussions. At present, the Douban score of the film is 7.7, which belongs to the upper-middle level. In the recent scarcity of high-quality movies, its watchability is more prominent.
"Hunting": "New World" of North Korea-South Korea relations!
In 1983, the South Korean president was nearly ambushed in the United States. After in-depth investigation by KCIA (South Korea's Central Intelligence Agency) and the Ministry of National Security, it was discovered that a North Korean spy named "Donglin" had infiltrated the interior . Two important officials of the Ministry of National Security, Park Ping-ho (Lee Jung-jae) and Kim Jong-do (Jung Woo-sung), scrambled to start a search, catching internal ghosts and defending against external enemies. Does it taste like the movie "New World"?
Moreover, the follow-up direction of the film is very similar to that of "New World". After the spy was betrayed by his own people, he chose another way of survival.
"You can live a different life."
The confrontation between two senior government officials, one is a forbearing ex-presidential dignitary, and the other is a ruthless player with a military career. Who is the prey?
The film shows the instability of the current political situation in South Korea from the very beginning, and it is also a common setting in South Korea in this type of film. In addition to defending the enemy from the outside, there are also undercurrents inside. It also hints at the camp of the two protagonists. The first half of
unfolded in a messy way, and tended to be perfect in the middle, and the reversal appeared just right, but it chose the worst ending. The ending scene was arranged in Thailand, and a diplomatic event turned into a fierce battle between North and South Korea. The third-party factors were completely excluded, which meant that the door was open to fight each other, and the motives of the characters were obvious. Fortunately, the arrangement of the ending of the two protagonists is reasonable and can leave an impression on the audience.
The relatively familiar Korean movies about inter-Korean relations in China are mostly based on certain real events, while "Hunting" is a purely fictitious film, giving people the impression that it is more like a film in the guise of inter-Korean relations Police movie. Whether it's the Chaney ghost or those few hot shootout scenes, it's a little exaggerated, and it's purely for commercial progress.
has to say that "New World" is not only well known to the Chinese people, but also has a profound impact on the starring Lee Jung-jae. He also serves as the screenwriter of "Hunting". For the first time as a director, not only did he find his good brother Zheng Yusheng to help out, but many friends in the circle also came to make a cameo appearance, including the partner Huang Zhengmin in "New World". There is a big gap between the
film and " agents " and "ministers of Nanshan" and other similar types of films. The subject matter itself is very topical, and it will attract attention if it is not too bad. Since it is Lee Jung Jae's directorial debut, it's already a good starting point. The actor is the best and the director, and more and more actors have embarked on this transformation road.
"Ferocious" Korean film, "silent" Chinese film!
In recent years, the Korean film and television industry has sprung up, and it has attracted more and more attention worldwide. There was " Parasite ", which made a splash at the Oscars, and "Squid Game", which won a lot of Emmys. Park Zanyu 's new work "'s determination to break up " has become a strong contender for the next Oscar, and Tang Wei has also been frequently mentioned by domestic media.
The Busan International Film Festival opened at the end of the National Day holiday, various topics occupy the hot search, not only because of the appearance of Chinese figures such as Tony Leung and Chen Kexin , but also reflects the attention that Korean films have received Spend.
When the Korean film and television industry is moving forward, we can be regarded as a significant step backward in this regard. Domestic awards are pecked at each other, and foreign awards have been absent for a long time.. More importantly, the speed of film approval and the films that were withdrawn or delayed due to "technical reasons" have gradually become a mystery.
This can't be blamed entirely on the epidemic!
hopes that Chinese filmmakers will serve more dim sum, and the audience will not be so fooled. We have the background of film history and the advantages of certain types of films, but we can't just adapt and remake them, let alone get together in the same type of themes. Spring is when a hundred flowers bloom, and I look forward to the next performance of Chinese movies.
