C: Netizen "MK"

At first, I made up my mind not to watch this movie - first, because I never chased horror movies, and second, because the monster that appeared in the publicity was really not scary enough. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Coincidentally, I went to see this movie in the end, and it was a midnight show. As soon as I entered the movie theater, I told Garfield that if I was scared, don't blame me for using her to practice my Nine Yin White Bone Claws.

It turned out to be nothing like that.

This monster is a big foil, a big "vase". No one pays attention to what it looks like, whether it looks abominable or not.

Because this film focuses on the family that depends on each other and never abandons. They are all small people in society, they have no family background, no money, no one else cares about their feelings, no status, only each other. Grandpa is a little old man who loves to nag but is very kind, and can always burst out of the man's ** fan at critical times, Dad is not very bright, obviously lazy to do but loves his daughter like his life, Uncle is the smartest person, understands computers, knows how to escape, and knows how to use a bottle of Korean soju as an earthen bomb to attack monsters. But why are you always unemployed and alcoholic? ――It turned out to be a participant in South Korea ** back then (there is a lot of meaning in this, and those who know a little about that period of history will feel a lot of emotion when they see this character). Auntie is a member of the Korean archery team, and she is usually slow and a little funny. The best result was the third place in the national archery competition, but the bronze medal was too late for the little princess at home to see. Because the little girl was swept away by this monster that day and thrown into a small waterway to reserve food. The 13-year-old not only has to survive, but also has to protect a child younger than her. In the end, she was swallowed by the monster with the child, and by the time she and the little boy were dragged out of the monster's throat by her father Kangdou, the girl died, but the child she had been holding tightly and in her arms survived.

There are many images worth remembering: the perseverance of the grandfather when he held the rifle with only one bullet left and said that I must kill this guy, and the love and helplessness of waving his son to run fast before he finally died. Dad has always made everyone believe that his daughter is still alive, and the courage to rush up with an iron rod to duel with the monster at the end. Uncle used a homemade rice wine bomb in the smoke and powder of biopharmaceuticals to attack the monster who killed his loved one. The aunt stood in the passage and aimed an arrow at the emaciated figure of the monster coming in front of her. And the little girl's always black and white eyes.

In this movie, I saw a lot of things that I didn't expect: the most simple family affection, the incompetence and indifference of the bureaucracy, the friendship of the little people, the courage of the little people, the cruel youth buried in the years that is about to be forgotten, the fragility and panic of human beings in front of the inexplicable virus, the blind admiration of the Orientals for the Americans, the irresponsibility and selfishness of the Americans......

And many more.

So I decided I wanted to treat Garfield and Zeze to dinner. For them, I dragged me to watch such a good "horror movie".

D: Netizen "Europa"

can answer why such a work can't win the Korean box office: the first place on the Korean film expectation list in 2006, a good director, a good actor, and an extraordinary genre film. This is a fitting achievement.

It is precisely because of director Bong Joon-ho's handling of the monster's appearance after the appearance (we should pay attention to the point that many people emphasize the appearance of monsters during the day), the audience sees a completely different plot development, not a heroic policeman, a high-IQ or eccentric scientist appears, and fights with the monster hero heartily, in a magnificent music that countless audiences who are obsessed with real shock are fascinated and reminisce, and are impressed by the American blockbuster director. If it is filmed according to this routine, "thehost" will be regarded by many anti as a failure to draw a tiger and not an anti-dog, and the unreality of the monster on fire at the end will be infinitely magnified.

Fortunately, no one said that now, but the finger is aimed at the overly humorous and even warm tone of the film, and the vast majority of people also express their appreciation for South Korea for being able to produce such a film under the guise of propaganda such as science fiction monsters, and there is no jumping clown out to buckle his hat indiscriminately, lest people in the world shout who it plagiarized.

Never, Bong Joon-ho's only two feature films before were not, and the ending of "Memories of Murder" confused countless people, otherwise they would fall into the trap of thriller suspense films. A discerning person knows at a glance that what the director wants to shoot is by no means to be copied, but it is too good to understand, and it is not so good that he can deny it completely.

Stunts have an important place in thehost, but obviously not all. As long as you are not a fool, anyone can see what is more terrible than a monster in the film, and finally no one will talk about words such as obscenity to slander, yes, how fragile South Korea is, there are many bureaucrats, and how dangerous people's hearts are, they can only be led by the nose by Lao Mei, and the Chinese people can speak freely with peace of mind.

If someone uses film as a medium to reflect on this question in good faith, the answer is no, and the small individual is not worth mentioning. It's not worth mentioning, there are too many that are not worth mentioning, so the Koreans have mixed a little bit of ridicule about the virus in addition to the monster movie: spraying disinfection regardless of the occasion, and strict guard, although it later turned out to be nothing more than a false alarm.

In the same way, it cannot be assumed that an individual can really break through the encirclement and fly over the blockade in the face of a powerful state apparatus or society like Song Kang-ho; It is also curious that in the last yellow mist, three people can stand without vomiting blood, and destroy the monster in a fearless way.

Milan. Kundera once said that a creator should not only do what is understood by the natives, because you are sorry for people from other cultures, so that they can't look at your work, and even more so because you are sorry for people from your culture, who become short-sighted because they see your work.

From any point of view, from the idea to the theme, from the preparation to the presentation, "thehost" is a sincere work, which is ironic, sad, trivial, and clear in a series of adjectives. It subverts the old model of monster movies or science fiction films, and greatly adapts to the Korean market, where the U.S. military, the Han River, the media, and institutions are all listed.

Afterwards, Zhuge was exempted, and the movie poster of the sewer in "thehost" alone also made me imagine for a long time, what kind of scene and what angle this is. With this question, the film later gave an answer.

Monster movies don't have to be extremely torn apart, and sci-fi-based monsters are often blamed for people's self-destruction, and there is no shortage of gadgets made purely to stimulate the audience. In the face of all kinds of monsters that have been turned over thousands of times, Bong Joon-ho explained everything at the beginning of the film, whether you think it is reasonable or not, and then jointly criticized the surroundings (the United States is undoubtedly the first, although not limited to this).

Uncle Song Kang-ho dyed back his black hair at the end, what? You still don't get it. If you look at several countries in East Asia, how many young men and girls on the street dye their hair yellow and so on, and you will understand something: unconventional? Outstanding image? Unfortunately, neither.

Since Park Hae-il's kick, he has been paying attention to many details of "thehost" (if you remember the flying kick acquaintance in "Memories of Murder"), none of these people are tall or personable, of course, the two actresses of AWM are not bad, but they are not vases, the performances are abnormal, and each role is worth detailing. Song Kang-ho, who seems to be a gangster, Park Hae-il who throws a homemade Molotov cocktail, Bae Doona, who shoots arrows with resolute eyes, and Bian Hee-feng, an old man who cares for his family (the supporting equipment for the self-rescue operation is his money), the latter will also compete for the Best Supporting Actor at the Blue Dragon Awards in the middle of this month.

Thehost isn't as good as we thought, but it's actually good.

After watching "thehost", I couldn't get enough of it, so I ran to the street barbecue stall and asked for a skewer of squid to fill my stomach, and suddenly an inexplicably hot little thing in the charcoal fire flew into my eyes, and I couldn't stop crying. I wondered if I should also buy a bottle of "True Dew" to get drunk.

"Monster", the best film I've seen in recent times, has a meaningful ending.

This is not just science fiction or thriller, it is different from the American Hollywood-style commercial production, it does not promote American individual heroism. It's just a fearless choice for a family with its own shortcomings, and for a small person to go with the flow in the face of danger and affection, which is why it looks so kind.

I like my grandfather's nagging but firm and loving eyes at the moment when he resolutely goes to death, I like my father's constant sleep but when everyone is running for their lives, I like my uncle's drunken occasional blood Fang Gang dropped the chain and accidentally missed when he was about to give the monster a fatal blow, I like my aunt's unique chronic son who even used to walk instead of running when she ran away but did it in one fell swoop when shooting monsters, I like my granddaughter's calm and resolute face to monsters but regardless of life and death to save the little boy I never knew. And it is this kind of imperfection in the little people that makes me feel extremely real and shocking, and I can even laugh when I play a tense plot, which is absolutely incomparable to the big American commercial productions.

I love the end of that finishing touch.

It is a kind of inheritance of life. Dad inherited from his grandfather and continued the ordinary life of a little person. It's just that he cut his normal hairstyle, opened a shop like his grandfather, used the same gun as his grandfather, and had the same movements and eyes as his grandfather. Boys are inherited from girls, and I can even feel the faint girl's face behind the boy. Is it just the inheritance of life, it is not, it is a kind of spiritual continuation and inheritance, which extends love, selfless love for relatives and vast love for others.

It is a satire and disdain for the upper echelons of politics. The only family photo in the house is a police arrest warrant, but it looks so harmonious when it is posted on the wall. When Dad saw the news broadcast the investigation of the monster virus incident, he did not hesitate to turn off the TV at the request of the little boy. A victim who is also hanging high about himself, who is not concerned at all and is not angry, who subverts our habitual thinking in the most ordinary and unassuming way and sublimates the connotation of the film to a higher level. In fact, I prefer Dad's cute behavior of turning off the TV with his toes, and his subtext is: No matter who you are, Lao Tzu just doesn't bird you!

F: Netizen "Ah She"

At first, when the monster came ashore, it felt like a devil entering the village.

When the granddaughter died, the scene where the family cried and crawled all over the ground in the mourning hall was funny and moving.

When that stupid foreign professor was fighting with a pair of corns and bubbling up in English, he thought his father didn't understand, but it turned out that his father knew English!

After his uncle was betrayed by a classmate who was angry and was now rolling smoothly in society, the classmate raised his fist to cheer for him after his uncle escaped...... This kind of person is "knowledgeable", and he has a wanted bounty and an attitude and a good impression!

When everyone is tired of looking for someone, the second generation is tired and numb, and the grandfather naturally looks for food to serve the children, boiling water and making noodles, and everyone stuffs the granddaughter with delicious food in the fantasy, and then the granddaughter naturally begins to protect him after seeing the child who is younger than her...... This kind of love for children or licking calves can be collectively referred to, and there is a sense of fatalism related to biological genes, which is quite touching.

My granddaughter is such a brave and attractive child, and I would have been mad in that situation. Speaking of which, all the characters in it are quite charming, grandpa's old scalper temperament is good, father's I don't know whether he is stupid or smart, uncle's smart and handsome in his angry and stupid spirit, and aunt's slow and half-beat sassiness, are all very good.

The ending is too heavy. Even if it is to express the concept of the young, the granddaughter is so kind and brave that she should not die, 555.

Pretty good.

G: Netizen "young"

"Monster of the Han River" specially invited the top special effects company in the United States to produce special effects shots, so it can be regarded as a real sci-fi blockbuster in South Korea. However, what caught my attention was not the realistic computer effects, but the film's reflections on the real world.

The unanimous opinion on the film is that it reveals obvious anti-American sentiments, first of all, the cause of the monster is the discharge of toxic substances into the Han River from the US military base in South Korea, which has led to biological mutations. And in the middle of the film, there is an oolong incident, which was originally thought to have a deadly virus on the monster, but it was later proved to be false news caused by the mistake of the US military. In the end, it was precisely because of this fake news that the South Korean government borrowed the large-scale biological and chemical weapons of the US military to kill the monster, which aroused strong opposition from the South Korean people. To put it simply, the Koreans in the film are completely played by the Americans.

However, this is not the main theme of the film, but a tragedy of the little people in this monster incident. Although the actor himself is in a mess, the whole focus of his life is on his daughter. And after the monster snatched his daughter, it became a catastrophe for the male protagonist and even the male protagonist's family. First, the family was imprisoned in the hospital for examination, and when the official did not care about the remarks that his daughter was still alive, he fled from the hospital, and the family would rather go bankrupt than find her daughter. And in the end, the daughter died, and the father was also killed by the monster, although the family worked together to kill the monster, but what was the use. It is worth noting that in the whole incident, the hero's family was carrying out a rescue operation alone, and the government officials did not play the slightest positive role, but because they were fooled by the Americans, they arrested the family everywhere. The absurd and bizarre plots and lines appear everywhere in the film, but they do not give people a feeling of light-hearted spoofing, but deeply feel a kind of black humor.

Because the audience will find that these seemingly inexplicable plots are likely to happen in the real world, the incompetence of the government, the responsibility of official personnel, the deception of superiors and subordinates, the bribery of inspectors, the treatment of patients as guinea pigs for research, and the arrogance and ignorance of officials everywhere. The darkness of the whole society is fully revealed in front of the eyes of this family, not only does not help them, but hinders and destroys, the most typical is when the American asks the male protagonist "Why don't you ask the government and the military for help", the male protagonist helplessly says: "Every time I speak, they have to interrupt me。。。。。 In the end, it was this desperate family that finally solved the problem.

The final section of the film is very thought-provoking, in a hut by the Han River, the male protagonist and the little boy are eating together, and the follow-up report of the monster incident is shown on the TV next to it, and the US official apologizes at a press conference for the mistake in the incident. But the actor didn't pay attention to the TV content at all, but because he thought the TV was noisy for him to eat, he angrily turned off the TV with his feet. For him, there is no point in Americans not apologizing. Although his father and daughter are dead, can an apology bring them back to life? He had to live his life. This is the fate of ordinary people, to be able to live and work in peace and contentment, is to have their own dignity, is the greatest satisfaction. And the biggest mission of the country is to let the people have their own dignity, instead of playing some false tricks, the appearance is very brilliant, immersed in the world of self-faking, but in fact it is **, dark, incompetent, the people are not able to make a living, and even human rights can not be guaranteed, what kind of dignity does this kind of country have?
