I think the two interesting themes of Korean dramas are satirizing politics and exploring human nature. This movie belongs to the latter category. Although the name is "Old Boy", the other name is "Original Criminal". I don't understand Korean, the translation of the old boy It is more romantic and tragic. The original criminal points to the core. I prefer the name Old Boy. This drama sets a tone first. It is a bad movie, but some people don't like it. There is no need to spoil the story, because a long tongue is easy to cause trouble, so I can’t help but giggle~ Let’s talk about acting, I usually don’t read the actor’s name, but I also remember the actor’s name, remember the actor watching the movie, lose the fun of exploration, easy Falling into the main, the acting skills of the actors in this drama are from the shallow to the deep. It should be related to the plot. The first half is too bland and depressing, so there is not much room for the actors to play, and their acting skills are slightly weak. The development of the climax, the confrontation between the two sides, the facial expressions, the slight movements, the lines, the most impressive is the smiles, a bit of a clown, contains too much and can not be expressed in words, this is Acting. Let’s talk about the plot arrangement. It may be that my understanding is short-circuited. In fact, the plot is very simple, but the first part feels a little longer. It's also refreshing and refreshing. This movie feels like the plot is like climbing a mountain. You have climbed a lot of expectations for the scenery of thousands of miles, but it is actually a small mound only after the end. In addition to this feeling, I still sincerely admire the director and screenwriter, who dare to think, write, shoot and dial in such topics, which are quite excellent. I do not argue whether the story conforms to the good customs of public prosecution and whether it should be approved (I am actually quite opposed to this kind of story, after all, it is a generation influenced by Confucianism), but I admit its determination to explore human nature. Finally, let’s talk about some of the touches the movie gave me, without discussing the ethical part (unacceptable), and talk about other points. After watching this movie, it taught me a lesson, don't talk too much, after all, disaster comes out of your mouth, maybe your unintentional words will bring unbearable disaster to others, of course, it may bring destruction to yourself. "Tooth extraction" only implies that the problem lies in the mouth, and cutting the tongue is a clear knock to say no more. "Laugh, the whole world will laugh with you; cry, you are the only one crying" in "laugh" is whether everyone is happy with you or laughing at you, "crying" is indeed only you who bear it; "Even if I am not as good as a beast, do I There is no reason to live?" This sentence has been reminded many times, and I still don't understand what makes people think, but it may reflect the destination at the end; "Whether it is sand or stone, it will sink" probably no matter what you say Whether the words are serious or serious, the result will be "drowning" or whether you and I are the same, there is no difference, both are "evil" and "original sin"; "What's the point of me being a human being" first expresses that there is really nothing alive The meaning of it, but to say that he can finally end it calmly; "Love each other knowing that you can't love each other" with the smile in front of the elevator, which is laughing at the people lying on the ground, laughing at himself, and envious of the people on the ground. There is also a daughter, laughing at myself for losing my sister. Is there more meaning? The lines and the smile make people feel more or less desolate and helpless. The ending is still depressing. It seems that there are lovers reunited. Is it a comedy or a tragedy of unrelated love? There is no winner in this film, the only colorful part is the phrase "that box, don't open it", it retains some sunshine in winter. Let's end this film review, admiring the laughter in different environments, these laughter make the soul of this film. In the end, was it a "devil" or a "human", the scene in the snow was amazing, the footprints and the crying who seemed to be laughing, the speechless voices were too much, it was a "devil" and a "human", once again To the point, the old boy who bears the original sin.

    Seeing two thirds of it, I have already guessed what's going on. The bizarre and twists and turns of the plot are overly pursued, which is unbelievable and seemingly blunt. There are a few good shots, such as the violent scenes. Although there is a bit too much blood, they are still quite appalling. The part that my sister and brother did with the teacher is very good, and the director must be good to make erotic films.

    The lighting, the camera, the scheduling, and the editing are so powerful that it is simply exciting! The only small regret is the obscurity of the theme-I always feel that the dimension of the redemption of love lacks a certain possibility for continued expansion for such an anti-traditional theme.
