The South Korean movie "New World", which publicizes the Korean version of "Infernal Affairs", the movie Cass is strong, and the cast members include Choi Min-sik (Chief Jiang), Hwang Jung-min (Ding Qing), Lee Jung-jae (Li Zicheng), Song Ji-hyo (female undercover), In the movie, the boss of the gangster group Kinmen died in a car accident. The leaderless gangsters suddenly began to speculate on the candidate for the next leader. The police paid great attention to this matter and arranged a number of undercover people in Kinmen. Li Zicheng, who had been undercover for eight years, finally He broke out like Tony Leung, complaining to his superior, Section Chief Jiang, that the indefinite undercover life made him lose the focus of his life. In the world of black and white, he only sees gray in his eyes.
Ding Qing, who grew up with him, is a ruthless character, but his heart is very delicate under his rude appearance. When he went to Shanghai on business, he did not forget to bring a watch to his good brother Li Zicheng, even if it was a cottage.
The struggle within the group intensified. Ding Qing sent someone to investigate who was the undercover, and the female undercover Song Zhixiao was caught. Ding Qing asked Li Zicheng to open the oil drum containing Song. There was already a lingering and bloody woman, Li Zicheng saw Song Zhixiao, who was also an undercover agent, was stunned, but he also knew that he should not panic at this time. In order not to let the situation come to light, in order to relieve Song's pain, Li Jian shot three times at the oil drum to prove that he had nothing to do with the police. .
At this point, Li Zicheng wants to end all this, but he will not bear the blame! And Section Chief Jiang's selfish attitude disappointed Li, because he didn't take Li's safety seriously at all. Ding Qing, who already knew that Li was an undercover agent, left him a gift before he died. After Li Zicheng opened it, he found that it was a watch again. It's time, whether it's a fake watch or not is obviously not that important anymore.
Li Zicheng remembered what Ding Qing said to him in the ward: "You have to be cruel to survive." The
storm was about to come and the building was full of wind. It was time to reshuffle the cards, and Li Zicheng began to clean the door. . Humans are animals that make choices in the environment. At this moment, Li Zicheng already knows which side to stand on.
The last scene of the movie is back to Lishui six years ago. The director captured the love between the two men very delicately. At that time, Ding Qing and Li Zicheng, who were still gangsters, entered a restaurant with many rogues. Qing came out when he saw that he was weak and weak, but at this time, Li Zicheng, who was beside him, didn't say a word and rushed in to fight with everyone.
I think it was at that time that Ding began to trust Li.
Consider whether one person can trust another person. After all, it is what you have done to that person. It also takes courage to trust someone, because society is realistic, and daily help cannot see a person clearly. There are many icing on the cake. It is rare to send charcoal in the snow. Only at a critical moment can you see a person clearly. In Ding Qing's eyes, Li Zicheng has become different. He also joined the team and fought hand-to-hand with the crowd. Be the warmest shot in the whole film.
Korean gangster movies inevitably have the feeling of Hong Kong movies in the early years. In the film, you can see John Woo's brotherhood, heroism, Johnnie To's black slow motion, and the structure of narrating gangster stories, all of which reveal the nostalgia of Korean movies for Hong Kong gangster movies. mean.
The movie "New World" dares to face the darkness of society and human nature. The delicate emotions of the characters portrayed in the film show the unique characteristics of Korean movies. The most liked and remembered character is Ding Qing. Loyalty, more often he is a person with principles and right and wrong. Under the sharp-edgedness, he has a clear understanding of all things.
