It is also the work of director Yan Shanghao, one movie and one animation work, the gap is obvious. Friends of directors in the industry, if you don’t really have this strength, you really don’t want to make movies across genres.
The entire animation of "Seoul Station" has a similar or even the same timeline and background as "Train to Busan". First, there is an infected person who serves as the foreshadowing of the entire film, and then triggers an endless cycle of large-scale zombie bites, people bite people, and people become zombies in the entire city. In order to find the heroine, the uncle, who claimed to be the heroine's father, scoured the city with the heroine's boyfriend, fought with zombies bravely, and finally found the heroine. At this time, the plot reverses, the uncle is not the heroine's father, but the heroine's creditor. Seeing this, the author can't help but feel ashamed. In order to collect debts, the uncle did not hesitate to risk his life to fight wits and courage with a group of zombies. Seeing that the money could not be recovered, he thought that it would be better to rape the heroine. The heroine who was infected by zombies survived for so long and still turned into a zombie and killed the uncle.
The animation style still continues the metaphorical style of criticizing the dark society, the insensitivity of bureaucratic capitalism, the differentiation of social classes, and the greed and domineering of local gangsters. The first time the author watched was the Korean version without subtitles, so that the author who had a little basic listening in Korean and the camera language of the screen could still understand the complete plot. What makes the author unbearable is the Korean dubbing of the heroine, which makes people dance every minute. The voice is thick and procrastinated, and it feels like the sound of a certain overseas film gun version being translated into the "Country" series by a certain website's Chinese dubbing. There is a lot of foul language in the dialogue, which is not difficult to see in Korean crime movies.
Some people say that a story that can be told in 10 minutes has been delayed to 92 minutes. This is undoubtedly a money-making tool launched by the director after the launch of "Train to Busan", on the premise of having a fan base, carefully measuring the commercial costs and benefits.
