The confidant dies

The whole film is actually because Song Kanghao's taxi died for his confidant. The Japanese trusted me and I would be their dog, and revolutionaries trusted me and I would be a national hero. But it's still too trivial. There are no other Korean liberation movies that look good. There are a lot of logic and plot loopholes and even forced conflicts. When the two first met drinking, they found out about Jin Changyu, knowing the other's purpose and identity, and facing each other. The awkward conversation with the donkey's lips not right with the horse's mouth, the scene at the train station was simply nonsense. In order to save one person, a bunch of people were sacrificed for nothing. Not only did they throw people in one by one, but they also had to be tortured in the end. The most important thing about revolution is not Do you have the strength to believe in? In this case, shouldn’t the value of the person and the task be measured? In this case, the life of ordinary people is definitely lower than the task. How can a professional revolutionary party be arrogant? Do you blow up the vanity box? Why would Kong Liu prefer to be exposed and rush in, and the Japanese police just let them go. Such obvious people let them stay at the train station for a while? And how the Japanese police's ability to handle cases fluctuates up and down. It's just a matter of giving way to the development of the plot. The minister didn't look like a villain. He wanted to portray a scheming devil, but he felt like he was fooling things.

    Whenever Kong Yoo looks up affectionately, he thinks that Jeon Do-yeon should be sitting opposite, but Song Kanghao is staring at him (I really want to change places with Kong Yoo)

    Barely two points. For Jin Zhiyun's film, his own scriptwriting must be bad. When Jin Zhiyun wrote the script, firstly, the rhythm is one-strand, secondly, the characters are all created thinly, and the relationship between the characters is thin, all in all, it's a mess. This film is the main theme of a free person growing into a staunch national liberation fighter. Jin Zhiyun's treatment is full of the petty temperament of second-rate commercial movies, and the magical bullet avoidance of the positive characters is too shabby, and the performance is also poor.
