South Korean movies are really getting better. Two good movies, "Tour to Busan" and "Tunnel", have recently appeared in succession. The former uses zombies to attract people's attention, but it is about the dark side of selfish and cold-blooded human nature, which ultimately reflects Love and sacrifice in human nature. "Tunnel" went a step further, proceeding from the interests of individuals and collectives, nakedly exposing the government and businessmen's inferiority of chasing for profit, without even leaving a fig leaf.

"Travel to Busan" is the background from the spread of zombies in Seoul to the whole country, but the scene is limited to a small train. There are all kinds of people on the train, and there are many shadows of "Cassandra Bridge". Unlike the film "Ka", which is affected by external factors, "Travel to Busan" is that people on the train are saving themselves, and there is almost no outside help. The way of self-rescue is also very primitive. Several men rushed over and returned in a team, which was completely oriental heroic. If it's just a bloody and violent action movie, "Travel to Busan" is not as good as Hollywood's B-rated film. Uncle Goryeo's trick is to use zombies as a guise to show the contradictions among the people. When the team defeated the zombies and returned, the melon-eating people who had no sense of existence came forward. At first they didn't have the courage to fight the zombies and save people. Now they have the right to decide the life and death of the same kind. In order to protect themselves from infection, the majority decides the destiny of the minority, and fend for themselves. The melon-eating people bravely asked the survivors to self-exile. Depending on the situation, if they did not take the initiative to leave, they might be destroyed by humanity. This is reminiscent of the tragedies that have been circulated in Japan and China. A group of people avoided airstrikes, fearing that the cry of the child would attract the plane, forcing the mother to suffocate the child. The melon-eating people are extremely lethal to the same kind. In the face of the unknown terror, they are at a loss and get rid of their necks. To the same kind, they are cruel and can do anything cruel.

"Tunnel" criticizes the inferior nature of chasing fish and profit in human nature. At first, ordinary people were buried in the tunnel, their lives hanging by a thread, life and death uncertain. When the outside world learned that there were survivors, people boiled. The safety and quality of the tunnel was put in second place. Life is priceless! The government came forward to rescue people at all costs. At this time, everyone was like an angel, selfless and friendly. In fact, the government and people are still pursuing fame and fortune, but it seems to be very big.

With the passage of time, the weather is getting worse and the construction direction is deviated. The previous efforts are in vain. The construction site has been shut down for a long time. The expensive project is about to be postponed. The government's image project will also be postponed. It boils down to the fact that the survivor should not be alive. Only if he is dead, he will be dug out. It will not only comfort the dead, but also soothe the hearts of the people. It will not affect the general public. The government also has political achievements to brag about. All as long as he is dead.

The climax of the film was when society began to vote whether the survivors should be blasted with explosives regardless of the life or death of the survivors. The number of supporters reached 65%, including the wives of the victims. This is a typical Eastern psychology. The minority obeys the interests of the majority, but people don’t want to say that no one will always be the majority. One day, you will be the minority. When the time comes, the feeling of calling the heavens and the earth’s ineffective will be very real. not good. Think about it, in a dark environment, with a wife and children outside, in addition to conquering loneliness and fear, the worst thing is that the outsiders finally abandon him.

Human nature is selfish, cold, and self-interested, but human nature also contains a great spirit of sacrifice and sense of responsibility. In Busan Tour, the selfishness and coldness of human nature are shown from beginning to end. In the last ten minutes, the spirit of sacrifice in human nature makes the audience Seeing hope; at the end of "Tunnel", the leader of the rescue team, who always adhered to his duties, persisted to the end. The reason why human society is constantly improving is because we have the spirit of sacrifice and sense of responsibility.

ps: In the most classic scene of "Tunnel", the captain yelled out the survivors’ heartfelt words, "You bastards, get out!" When the camera turned to the surprised faces of government officials and media people, the cold society got a note. A resounding slap in the face.
