Betrayal has been shamed by society since ancient times. Betrayal of teachers, betrayal of family, betrayal of love, betrayal of the country... Confucius's teachings of "monarch, subject, father, son and son" require people to be loyal. This is basically a "truth" that is not allowed to be discussed. Innate virtues that must be observed.
Loyalty must have its object. If the object of our loyalty itself is constantly changing, how can we "unchangeable mind"? I love my girlfriend (boyfriend), but more and more I find that he has a lot of bad habits that are unbearable, so I don't love him anymore, or, love, it's so weak, I can stop loving him (she )? Could this be betrayal? Am I being loyal to my heart, or should I be loyal to this boyfriend (girlfriend) who has changed in my heart?
If we must be loyal, should we first make clear that what we are loyal to should be our own principles, not some object that is easily changed by the changes of time. And when someone swears allegiance, it should not be in a situation where their mind is immature or information is asymmetric.
Did Kang Dong Won betray anyone in this movie? It can be seen from the fact that he had to clarify this before his death. In the eyes of himself or others, he must have betrayed something, at least because he wanted to immigrate his relatives to South Korea, which seems to be inconsistent with the North Korean policy. meet. It's a bit like a word we often use, "worship foreigners", you don't like your own motherland, and you want to move abroad to live. Isn't this betrayal? But he is also a different kind of spy who is sympathetic, considers others at all times, and respects the choices of others. Either his selection into the spy team is a dereliction of duty by the North Korean spy organization, or his life in South Korea has influenced him subtly. Whether it is his subjective will or not. If it was an acquired influence, then he should have betrayed and betrayed his former self, but he was loyal to his current self. Loyalty to humanity, not loyalty to a bloodthirsty assassination mission, not loyalty to a regime that only cares about the interests of those in power and not the suffering of the people. If that's the case, he actually doesn't need to be in such a hurry to clarify himself, because if he doesn't change like this, if he is still an indifferent killer like a shadow, that's the reason why he can't rest before his death.
Speaking of topics that are not so heavy, I am ashamed of Jiang Dongyuan's cold face all day long, and I still like Song Kanghao's informal performance.
This film review (the word film review makes me feel embarrassed) has been written for a long time, and I can't remember many of the plots of the film. I had to stop when I wrote a little indiscriminately. I could have written a little deeper, but my level was not enough, and I couldn't organize such a powerful language.
