      so-called democracy so-called dictatorship

      Exquisite story structure, sharp point of view, and absurd encounters with a character who happens to be a North Korean fisherman who happens to drift across the border to rip apart lies about the country. So-called democracy and so-called dictatorship are inhumane in front of one "person". And with the exact same hypocritical face "The state existed before we existed, and we can never go back to the state before we didn't have the state." The old man commented on politics angrily through the...

      Watching Movies I had already made sufficient mental preparations before, but I didn't expect Kim Ki-duk's three views of the new film to be so normal. I didn't expect it! I didn't expect it!

      Aside from the label of Kim Ki-duk, the movie "The Net" can be regarded as a good drama, but I prefer its other translation, "The Man...

      false pain

      Does the name think of Bei Dao's one-word poem "Life"? I always prefer Kim Ki-duk because his films always have a sense of pain, no matter the early "Drifting Room" (2000) "Bad Boy" (2001) "Spring Comes and Comes Again" (2003) "Empty Room" (2004) "Samaria Girl" (2004), "Bow" (2005), etc., or "Mobius" (2013) and "Saint" (2012) after a three-year hiatus. But this time, it didn't do well. From the theme to the way of expression, it was all third-rate. For example, the ending was too...

      South Korea's biggest irony against North Korea isn't its abundance

      This is a Korean film, so I can't really talk about 100% objectiveness about the political topics in the film. The offices of the North and South Korean Security Divisions, the people's clothing, the buildings and the people's livelihood are all in contrast. But Kim Ki-duk also exposed the drawbacks of a "free" capitalist society through the story of a South Korean prostitute, and the idea of ​​South Korean officials "saving the poor North Koreans" is laughable. At first, I thought the South...

      non-fish

      When ordinary people hear this sentence, they always think of the words recorded in Zhuangzi. The famous sentence in "The Debate of Haoliang" in the chapter "Autumn Water", "A child is not a fish, how can you know the joy of a fish." However, I dared to change it, a child is not a fish, how can you know the pain of a fish.

      In life, many people are accustomed to standing at a high place and pointing the country, and there is always a desire to express themselves as a teacher. However,...

      The first half of the good soldier Shuike-style misunderstanding design still stops the discussion of the relationship between the peninsula on the misunderstanding thinking of this diode, and cannot see any novelty and depth from it. The rest is probably only the powerlessness of all aspects, not only the powerlessness of unified hope, but also the powerlessness reflected in the film...

      3.6 points. With so much material, why do you still feel that life is difficult? Why should a girl with such a beautiful heart still sell herself? How can such an equal and free society be so chaotic? All because everyone is a fish and cannot escape the big net above. In fact, many dialogues and bridges are quite straightforward, and there are not many surprises, but when the male protagonist said it, it was so touching, it made me feel the huge gap between North and South Korea, and Painful...

      Kim Ki-deok can even shoot 15+ works. To put it more plainly, when you are caught in the net, you can no longer escape. Whether it is the self-proclaimed freedom and democracy of the South or the North with the slogan of national leaders, in front of the individual As cold and false as disgusting, the two sides deal with similar irony in dealing with people and things. Is this because Ben is the same nation? Or is this true of any constitution that man himself has...

    Movie plot

    A North Korean fisherman was fishing in a river on the north-south line when his boat's engine broke down and drifted downstream to South Korea. South Korean intelligence agencies took him away and interrogated him. Although they found that he had been a soldier, they could not find any evidence that he was a spy. The furious interrogator wanted to subvert the attack, frame the blame or even turn the tables, and indeed succeeded in...

    Positive review

    The best jokes in the film are about money and food. The security boy raised some dollars for the fisherman, and the fisherman ate it and took it home. As a result, he had diarrhea while writing the whereabouts report. The interrogator found out that he immediately ordered a "takeaway" meal that was even more plentiful than that of a Korean institution. After eating two chicken legs, he pulled out the dollars and was embezzled by the...

    "The Net" is shot in a realistic or even handheld style, so it's hard not to give people the feeling of being coercive, but if you're cold, you're going to spill some blood. This kind of dog blood is not only too sensational, but too young too navie. The security boy repeatedly bumped into the boss for the fisherman, and helped him to clear his suspicions. The boss was not angry at all, tolerated his resistance to orders, and did not...
