With the tacit understanding of the professional and rigorous production team, regardless of honors, the superb acting skills, and the eye-catching creativity and depth, it can be said that it has made a bloody path in the commercial film industry where bad films are rampant. But what everyone does not know is that the director of this wonderful disaster film, Yeon Sang-ho, is actually directing a live-action film for the first time, and he himself was a director and screenwriter specializing in the production and marketing of comics and animated films.
In addition to "Train to Busan", "The King of Pigs", "The Hypocrite" and "Seoul Station" are also his very famous works. Among them, "Seoul Station" is known as the prequel of "Train to Busan", which is similar in style to "Train to Busan". An animated film that highlights the dark side of human nature.
Travel to Busan tells the story of a single father and his daughter taking a high-speed train to Busan. The zombie virus brought by a girl on the train began to rage and spread, and the train fell into disaster in an instant. The similar "Seoul Station" tells the story of a homeless person at Seoul Station, the center of South Korea's transportation, who contracted an epidemic that spreads and quickly spreads across the country. In "Train to Busan", although there are irresistible diseases and zombies, you can also see scenes where people are united in helping each other. At the end of the film, although the male protagonist and his party were bitten to death, the pregnant woman escaped with his daughter, bringing vitality and warmth to the bloody and tragic plot. But in "Seoul Station", what we see more is the ruthlessness of all beings trampling on each other, the distinction between the high and the low in society, the ruling class that should protect the people but treats human life like a must, and is indistinguishable from zombies••• •••Director Yeon Sang-ho is especially good at expressing the ugliness and ruthlessness of humanities in the form of comics, satirizing the social phenomenon of class inequality, which has been fully developed in "Seoul Station".
First of all, the infected old uncle of the camper walked weakly on the street clutching his bleeding neck. The unpleasant smell on his body made the young man who wanted to help him walk away in disgust. He returned to the subway station, and the homeless beside him , None of the passersby who were in a hurry offered a helping hand.
At this time, the film gave a close-up of the homeless, and we can initially see the bitterness and difficulty of the people living at the bottom.
After the old grandfather's friends found the bleeding and comatose grandfather, they hurried to the nearby rest house, hoping to give the grandfather a place to live. But many able-bodied people who aren't sick just hang around in rest stops and kick friends out. My friend couldn't, so he could only go to the store to buy band-aids and disinfectant, but the old man could not stand the toss and died early in the morning. He also became the first infected person in Seoul. It can be said that if people's hearts were not so indifferent, maybe this disaster would not have happened.
A woman who escaped from the red light district, Hye Sun, found out that her idle boyfriend, Ki Young, was helping her make a living with a rich man on the Internet. Unexpectedly, the virus has begun to spread rapidly. She collided with the infected and had to flee with the survivors. At this time, Seok-gyu, a man who claimed to be Hye-sun's father, also happened to find Ki-young, who was looking for Hye-sun. The two also encountered a large number of infected people at the residence, and they could only escape all the way. Hye Sun and her party were ambushed by the infected at the police station, only she and an uncle survived. The two escaped from the ambulance to the subway station. In the subway station, the two recalled their tragic life experience and cried.
Finally, Ki Young gets in touch when Hye Sun arrives at Hoe Hyun subway station. Seokgyu Kiyoung and the two hurried in the direction of Hoehyeon, but were stopped by the police.
At this time, Huishan and Uncle, who rushed out of the subway station, were temporarily safe after being rescued by a few well-meaning people, but they were still in danger. The security team just sealed a tight circle around the perimeter, shooting high-pressure water or spraying smoke at people trying to climb out. The uncle came out of sadness and shouted:
Then he tried to jump up the wall and rushed out, and was shot dead by the guards. Before dying, he said:
At this time, perhaps feeling that the situation was irreversible, the police began to throw smoke bombs at the crowd in the fence, and at the same time a large number of infected people attacked, Huishan took the road and ran wildly, and suddenly saw the kind-hearted man who rescued her walking along the top of her head. the rope to climb to a safe direction. She began to climb abandoned ladders by the side of the road, hoping to grab a lifeline above her head.
But it was obvious that Hui Shan's arms had no strength to support her body. One of her arms drooped and her ankle was grabbed by the zombie below. At this time, the man climbed over desperately and put her hand on the rope again, but he was accidentally pulled down by the infected person, and he was surrounded and swallowed by many zombies in an instant. Huishan continued to run for her life, finally got rid of the relentless zombies and came to the safe model house building.
Hye-sun and Ki-young get in touch, and Ki-young and Seok-gyu arrive soon after. But, of course, there cannot be such a smooth and happy ending. It turns out that Seok Gyu is not Hye Sun's father, but the boss of her former workplace, because Hye Sun once owed him money, so he pursued him so desperately. Kiyoung wanted to fight against Seokyu, but was accidentally cut to his throat and died. Huishan hid in the closet and tried to attack Xigui but was found out, and was knocked unconscious by Xigui backhand. Seok Gyu was about to do something wrong with Hui Shan, but found that Hui Shan had broken his skin and became a zombie when the infected person grabbed his ankle just now. Sigui was killed. In fact, friends who have seen the trip to Busan know that the girl who got on the train with the virus should be Hye Sun.
Many people complained after watching this animation that it was a waste of time. The dubbing and plot are completely incomparable to Train to Busan, but I want to say that the two movies are actually very little related, and it is not a good idea to separate them completely. pass. Train to Busan has Kong Yoo and Jung Yoo Mi, two old partners who are very popular among many Korean movie audiences (because of the movie "The Furnace", which is known as a Korean crime landmark), and the indispensable strength on the big screen is Luye Ma Dong Xi, as well as the addition of new idols such as Cui Yuzhi and An Zhaoxi, made "Train to Busan" several more classes than "Seoul Station" in terms of audience. Although the voice actor of "Seoul Station", Ryu Seung-ryong, can be said to be the general of the five tigers in South Korea, Shen Eun-kyung and Li Zhun are also rare young blood with superb acting skills among the new generation actors, but they are in the animation "Seoul Station". Obviously, the movie did not give full play to the strong advantages of his acting skills, and it was also slightly unfamiliar to domestic audiences. Live actors, richer facial expressions and psychological activities, immersive movie special effects, and more humane plot settings are the reasons why "Train to Busan" is better. After all, "Seoul Station" too pointedly reveals that the darkness of the social hierarchy is not what contemporary people living under the pressure of fast-paced want to see, just like the box office comparison of "1942" and "Thailand".
"Seoul Station" focuses all the attention on the bottom of the society, the mutual crushing between classes, and the indifference of the government, which greatly shows the warmth of human feelings and the coolness of the world. In my heart, it is a masterpiece, and there is absolutely no need to rub it.
