      I don't understand why such a poor movie is rated high, it's just a foreigner!

      I don't understand how a movie that just connects some popular scenes out of thin air can get such a high score. There is only one reason. Many people are still fascinated by foreigners. This movie, let's not talk about its political purpose, just the movie itself has many problems, in addition to the hot scene, the plot is messy, the acting is mediocre, the movie devalues ​​the North Korean agents, the top agents can appear so many ordinary policemen Mistakes that may be realized...

What is the reason...

      Reflections on the change of life and death spy

      This is a well-received North-South relationship movie. In the film, the director depicts the true views of North and South Korea as a whole on national unity, as well as the various propositions of different forces within North and South Korea for national unity, and for this reason, all parties fight against each other for the dominance of the country's future. For this reason, it has led to many political departures. It is in this context that the whole film unfolds. Under the grand theme,...

      I want to take the directing department, my first film review

      Seeing that this movie won a lot of awards, I thought it was pretty awesome, but it turned out like this.
      It may be a relatively long-term relationship, and many scenes seem to be nothing now. The spy war movie is not like the literary movie. Action movies mainly watch not only the scenes, but also the twists and turns of the plot.
      The plot is rather cliché, no surprises. A lot of burdens were guessed from the beginning. For example, as soon as the back of a woman was given, it was...

      healthy market competition

      When I saw the landmark Korean movies mentioned in the book, I looked for it on a whim. ~1999 movies, now it seems like I'm watching old-fashioned Hong Kong movies. It turns out that Korean movies have risen so early~ The actor-level uncle Song Kanghao was still at that time. Xiaosheng, playing an important supporting role who thinks he is smart and burps before the end~ It is not comparable to many movies now, but at this level, I think it must have been a good work in the past~ It is very...

      The first "blockbuster" in the true sense of South Korea, but the plot is protracted, there is no suspense, the CTX bomb is still a symbol of the stick people like yy, but I feel that Uncle Kang Hao was so thin at that time, and Jin Yunzhen looks older than now~ As the leader The film, which led the rise of local Korean films in the next ten years, is still worthy of 3...
