directed by Li Xixun (representative works "Himalaya", " Pirates "), Hyun Bin , Yoo Hae Jin , Lim Yoona, Daniel Haney , Chen Shankui, etc. starring action comedy film "Together 2: International" finally coming!
The box office performance of "Together 2" has been very impressive so far, and the cumulative number of viewers has exceeded 6.9 million , referring to the first film's final box office of 7.81 million, I feel that it is expected to surpass ~
as a sequel film, I want to get a "better than the first" movie The evaluation is not easy, but the word-of-mouth of "Joint Help 2" is unexpectedly high. Korean net has "twice as handsome and three times as funny than the first" , "super interesting entertainment films that perfectly demonstrate the paradigm of the sequel" Good reviews.
The story continues the background and characters of the first part, telling the story of the international criminal organization led by Jang Myung-jun (played by Chan Sun-kyu), a North Korean criminal, who went to South Korea again for the international criminal organization. , cooperated with South Korean detective Kang Jin-tae (played by Yoo Hae-jin) who wanted to return to the Guangsou team after the accident. This time, the agent Jack (played by Daniel Haney) from the FBI of the United States also joined them, so they revolved around the criminal. During the pursuit, South Korea, North Korea, and the United States launched a triangular cooperation!
If you haven't watched the first part, it won't have much impact because it's a brand new story, but since the characters are all continuations of the first part, except for the FBI's Jack, the villain Zhang Mingjun and his subordinates are new characters. The relationships of other characters are the same as in the first part, so the second part omits the explanation of the character relationship, and some of the jokes also echo the first season, so it is recommended to watch it.
For example, because in the first movie, Zheling and Zhentai lived and died together, they had a special tacit understanding and friendship. After completing the task, Zheling returned to North Korea, and the two were still a little reluctant. In the second part, the scene where the two meet again makes people smile.
Zheling: "Are you the only policeman in South Korea?"
Zhentae: "Yes, it's just me~" : "The first rule of mutual assistance, the firearms are kept by South Korea." Then he handed in the guns obediently.
This rule is set by Li Zhentae himself in the first film, the stubborn Zheling still remembers it and actually cooperated with him~
and the first film, Hyun Bin has a super handsome chase scene, hanging on a high-speed car The difficult action scenes, in the second part, changed Liu Haizhen to hang on the car, which are all very thrilling parts, but the style of painting... can be said to be quite different.
Sure enough, Hyun Bin is handsome, and Jin Dae is funny~
The main actors and actresses appeared together in Luo PD variety show "Fifteen Nights on a Business Trip" made some moves, and Chen Shankyu also joked that he was doing some action scenes with his face. If it is an action scene, it looks very advanced~ Ryu Hae-jin expressed the same feeling. If you look at the picture above, it should be easy to understand~
Everyone also madly praised Hyun Bin as "Korean Fighting No.1", "The Most Advanced Fighting Machine", "The Conductor of Fighting" .
There are obviously more handsome action scenes in the second part, especially the last action scene is very long.
is worthy of praise. The director's grasp of the rhythm of action and comedy is at a high level, and the whole film has a good sense of rhythm. If you play all the time, you will be fatigued, but interspersed with comedy elements in several thrilling action scenes to reconcile the atmosphere can play a buffering effect.
is a tough guy outside. He has to kneel on the floor obediently at home to create a sense of contrast.
When they finally solved the case, both of them sat by the wall like the rest of their lives, Zheling said, "What should I do? My sister-in-law will kill us..."
Zhentai: "Yeah, just kneel... ·"
In addition, Jack played by Daniel also contributed a lot of comedy roles. As a newly added character, he attracted the attention of Zhentai's sister-in-law with his eye-catching appearance and figure, and successfully made Zheling jealous. "Oh~
When Daniel showed off his muscles, he was expecting Hyun Bin to show it too. However, there was no... Feeling scared, the villain "Crescent Bone" quickly confessed~
I remember that the first film did not have so many comedy elements. In contrast, the jokes in this film are set more intensive and effective, even if it is an interrogation, it is not easy to be funny There are also unexpected twists in the plot.
Looking at it as a whole, I think "Together 2" is a qualified popcorn commercial and entertainment blockbuster, and it is also an excellent sequel movie that surpasses the previous one. It is worth watching!
The completion of the film is very high, the comedy and action are well balanced, and the special effects are also blockbuster. The blasting or gunfights set at the beginning, middle and end respectively stimulate the senses at any time. Although the story has many routines, it will not be boring. , If you watch it in a movie theater, the look and feel will definitely be better!
However, I still want to talk about its shortcomings, that is, the portrayal of female characters is still very thin and rigid.
In the "Men's Play", the crime and action-based plot, the role of Yoona as the starring role is almost only "sweet flavoring agent" ” Screenwriter Zheng Ruijing once pointed out the shortcomings of Korean movies now- Zhongwulu movies are almost all written and directed by directors, and there are no professional screenwriters. The status quo is that most directors are male, their specialty is filming, but they are very amateur as screenwriters, which makes them unable to write female characters that they do not understand, so they focus on male characters. Naturally, the audience of the film will also target 30- 40-year-old male audience, so whether it is the Mid-Autumn Festival or the summer season, most of the movie theaters are action blockbusters with only male actors.
"The 1st, 2nd, 3rd, or even 4th episodes may be the actors that everyone knows and loves. The 5th and 6th episodes are actresses we love and respect, and they act in scenes where I look awkward."
This is not just the problem of "Joint Help 2", think about the Korean films around this year's Mid-Autumn Festival, "Criminal City 2", "Extraordinary Declaration", "Free Mountain: The Appearance of the Dragon", "Hunting" Is this the case? ?
as a reference, the screenwriters of these 5 movies including "Together 2" are indeed the directors themselves. This is not to say that there is prejudice against male directors, but that there is a specialization in the art industry. Professional screenwriters are needed to write the script, and the director should not act as an agent in order to write a solid and innovative plot and create a plump and relatively balanced. Male/female characters. After all, a good script is the core that supports a good movie, and it shouldn't stop at being satisfied with "popcorn" movies.
