When the driver Pei was accused of being a "red element", a scene of left-wing youth being abused in "The Defender" flashed in my mind; chaotic neighborhoods, rooftop barbecues, and a few unwanted gangsters, "Yellow Sea" was instantly available The charm of Yanbian's old stick in "New World"; the exchange of money and the obliteration of evidence, "War with Criminals" is vividly visible. Wait, wait, this series of dark-tone films, we define it as a plot or crime, they are always in a fixed routine, tightly locked the eyes of the audience, "Veteran" this time really A very veteran, mocked the black gold society, won praise from the audience, and also won the box office incidentally.
It’s not clear if "Memories of Murder" started, but in these short ten years, South Korean directors are like handing in homework. Every year, there are bright plot/crime films appearing in the world audience. In front of him, these films either won international awards or were full at the box office. They are getting better year after year, and the pace is getting faster and faster. As a result, a large number of "uncle" lineups have become popular. Although they are not as well-known as Fresh Meat, they can be famous for those who like Korean movies. ("Gangnam 1970" proves that even Lee Min Ho can't wait to become addicted to the uncle.)
As mentioned above, under the fixed routine, what am I infatuated with?
1. Reality. Whether it's "Veteran" or "The Defender", behind the protagonist is a family. This clue is never weakened, because civilian heroes are more stressed, and they don't have the ability of Superman or the background of Batman. In addition to burning passion The rest of his work is mortgages, wife’s rations, children’s books, heroes can’t get out of the world, but they understand that the ordinary is more precious, justice and shame, they always take the initiative to act as the stainless steel gear of this society to prevent corruption from entering the roots. To prevent moral collapse.
"Take off your socks, first put it on your nose and smell it." This is Huang Zhengmin's signature action in the film (well, I love to do this too). After watching these films, you realize that the most useless are not boys. The dormitory is a police car. Of course, this is also deeply reflected in "Fireworks in the Day". This is not an exaggeration, it is true. My father worked in an oil field, night patrol. To put it bluntly, he was guarding the oil well every night to prevent oil stealing. With the most ordinary salary of this class, I started to do things, but like a Liangshan hero, "Son, take this money to buy delicious food." Uncles like Huang Zhengmin have too many in my life, they always There are various reasons for you to be a "man".
2. Xiaoqiang. "If people have no dreams, what is the difference from salted fish", and these uncles are just a group of old salted fish that can't die. They don't know how to serve tea or water, so they never struggle with promotion. After the fight, the sun and the moon were dark, facing women and children's shining light, to the comrades it was "MISS Bong, NICE", and to the enemy, they were Xiaoqiang who could never be beaten to death.
Uncles’ principle of life and work may be a saying, "Be kind and honest!" For this simple and rude creed, they did not allow their wives and children to live a good life, and they also competed with the evil forces at a higher level every day, "Do not die. There must be a blessing.” In the end, the victory was on the side of justice. The protagonist was comfortable, and the audience was also comfortable. The spirit of Xiaoqiang is always infused in this type of movie. The protagonists are not only afraid of death, but also unbeatable. While the audience is sweating, they have been looking forward to the appearance of the blade of justice. Huang Zhengmin in "Old Hand" has carried forward this point even more. , The whole film has no urine spots, the story has a fast pace, and the editing method is even more hand-knife and without procrastination.
In addition to "Veteran", we should also look at the "Veteran" of Korean film production. Various types of movies are emerging in endlessly, and the movie is full of applause. In the same year, our Chinese films did not lose to "Veteran". "Veteran" showed me the works of a developed industry, while "Scorching Sun" gave me infinite longing. Director Cao Baoping proved that in the production of genre movies, we can be as good or even better. We do lack a certain amount of production experience, but what is even more lacking is the sincerity of the film and the love for the industry. If we can complete the composition of a scene, a scene, and a shot in each type of film, supplemented by the efforts of each filmmaker, I believe that China can also mass-produce "Veteran", and Become a veteran.
