This year's Spring Festival, it's not just movie theaters that are lively.
There is an online movie, which is also popular.
From the point of view of word of mouth, it can be said to crush all cinema films.
Douban scores, which remains at 88 high scores (50,000 scores).
This film was actually from South Korea last yearThe box office crown of the year
Since its release in November, it has received rave reviews and whetted the appetite of many people.
Finally, the film landed on the stream before the Spring Festival**.
Uncle Yu, who has been waiting for three months, finished reading it for the first time, and the aftertaste is endless.
I have to say that this is the most satisfying blockbuster for this year's Spring Festival
"Seoul Spring".
In November last year, "Seoul Spring" exploded as soon as it was released.
The reasons for this are twofold.
First, yesSensitive subject matter
The film focuses on 1979, the most turbulent year in South Korean history.
This year,South Korea's then-** Park Chung-hee was assassinated
This history has been shown in many films and televisions, such as "The Ministers of Nanshan".
The Ministers of Nanshan".
Park Chung-hee's death marks the end of an era.
At the same time, long-suppressed democratic forces sprung up, giving hope to the South Korean people at that time for reform.
This history is called"Seoul Spring".
It was also at this time that there was a vacuum of power.
Commander of SecurityChun Doo-hwan, gradually revealing ambition.
Not only did he hold several important positions, but he also used his power to rally his allies and expand his power.
and staged a military coup d'état on December 12 of that year.
This incident was later calledDouble 12 coup
With the success of the coup, Chun Doo-hwan took sole power.
Spring in Seoul ended briefly.
What South Korea is waiting for is another round of high-pressure ** rule.
The movie "Seoul Spring" is based on the history from the death of Park Chung-hee to the ascension of Chun Doo-hwan.
Except for the ups and downs of the story prototype itself.
The top creative teamis another highlight of this film.
The production is not high, but each one is of good quality.
The one that everyone is most familiar with should be "Flu" in 2013.
Through a national disaster, it is a metaphorical satire on Korean society in all aspects.
Flu" His last work was "Asura" 8 years ago.
is also a blockbuster film with a good reputation that exposes political shady scenes.
The leading actors include Zheng Yusheng, Huang Zhengmin, Zhu Zhixun, Guo Duyuan and other big names.
Asura", the director of "Seoul Spring", continues to work with Hwang Jung-min and Jung Woo-sung.
The roles of the two belong to different camps.
Playing with each other is very enjoyable.
Let's talk about it firstHuang Zhengmin
As the real male protagonist of this film, he can be called a comprehensive phase breaker.
In order to restore the appearance of Jeon Doo-hwan, the male god became bald.
It is not only the appearance that is in place, but also the mood and demeanor.
In the face of his superiors, he was submissive on the surface, but he had already hidden murderous intentions in his heart.
Facing the opponent, his face is full of arrogance.
The murderous intent is heavier, and the ruthlessness is deeper.
can play the arrogance of the traitorous male when he gains power.
You can also perform the sneaky appearance when you encounter an accident.
One of the performances that impressed me the most was talking to my subordinates at my house before the conspiracy was decided.
From the smile on his face at first, his face sank instantly when he heard the bad news.
As his subordinates finished speaking, they immediately resumed their smiles.
In just a few seconds, his obedient and ruthless inner world was undoubtedly revealed.
There is a city in the heart, and joy and anger are easy to shape.
It is precisely these few seconds that break people's deification of political **.
He's not a scheming master at pretending to hide his manipulation of the situation, but he's just a villain with a lot of power.
Comparatively,Zheng Yushengis an iron-clad character.
He has always been a patriotic general who is dedicated to his duties.
That enthusiasm and sincerity are very real.
But as the battle situation went unfavorably, Zheng Yusheng gradually deduced the feeling of wavering faith.
There is not only anger and helplessness betrayed by colleagues, but also hatred and lament for the incompetence of the top.
However, no matter what kind of heavy blows he encountered, he still did not break his beliefs and principles as a soldier.
Even until the end, he will not show his cowardice to his opponent.
Although he was defeated, he was still glorious, which made people admire his iron bones.
Good theme, good director, good actor.
The time and place are favorable, and the explosion of "Seoul Spring" has become inevitable.
The 141 minutes are completed in one go, allowing people to immerse themselves in the cruelty and drama of that period of history.
Seoul Spring doesn't just restore that history.
History that has already been written will undoubtedly lack novelty if it is simply reproduced.
What really catches the audience's attention is the many details hidden in history.
The highlight of this film is the dramatization of those details.
In the film, Chun Doo-hwan is pseudonymFull bucket light, the wolf's ambition has long been exposed.
In the army, there have long been people who have seen through his nature.
Among them, including the major general played by Zheng Yusheng,Lee Tae-sin(Prototype Zhang Tai plays).
and, Chief of Staff of the ArmyMr. Zheng(The prototype is Zheng Seung-ho, played by Lee Sung-min).
Seeing that Quan Douguang's power was getting bigger and bigger, Chief Zheng decided to transfer him and his colleagues out of the capital and take up posts in remote places.
So, Quan Douguang designed to frame the chief and forcibly arrest the latter, kicking off the coup d'état.
In front of everyone's eyes, the evidence is conclusive, and Quan Douguang's rebellious heart can already be determined.
Some of the generals led by Li Taichen were soon ready to quell the rebellion and suppress it.
However, other high-level executives don't think so.
After a group of people learned the news, they had only one thought-
There must be some misunderstanding here.
And in the subsequent operations, they also successfully played the role of wine bags and rice bags many times.
At first, there was a chance to stop Quan Dooguang, who was about to leave.
Here, Li Taichen has already ordered the car to be detained, and he can even be killed on the spot.
But at the last moment, he was stopped by the big leader.
The reason is that in order to catch Quan Douguang, he should go through the process, and the process is to ask his superior, General Zheng, for instructions.
I have to say that this idea is very humorous.
Because Chief Zheng has been arrested by Quan Douguang, how can he ask for instructions?
However, the top military officials sitting in the base camp do not care at all, and only blindly emphasize procedural compliance.
In this way, the opportunity to seize Quan Douguang was wasted.
Even if Quan Douguang drove the card, the high-level people were still indifferent.
On the contrary, he shifted the responsibility to Li Taichen and criticized him for not managing his subordinates well.
After that, it's time to defend the city.
After Lee Tae-sin's arrangement, the only way to enter Seoul was the Sakaju Bridge.
As long as this bridge is defended, Seoul will not lose.
In order to have enough troops, the Airborne Corps was also brought in to support.
According to Li Taichen's deployment, Quan Douguang will be defeated.
But those high-level leaders have come to add to the chaos.
They only thought about peace talks with Quan Douguang, and even reached an agreement to withdraw their troops at the same time.
And just when they were complacent about the success of their peace talks, Quan Douguang returned.
The so-called withdrawal of troops is only an illusion and a simple fraud.
Those high-level officials didn't realize that they had been tricked until they lost the Xingzhou Bridge.
But at this point, there is nothing left but incompetent rage.
As Chun Doo-gwang's troops entered Seoul, those high-ranking officials became even more ugly.
Leaving the headquarters bunker that is easy to defend and difficult to attack, they all ran to Li Taichen's headquarters.
Obviously, he was afraid and wanted to hide behind Li Taichen to save his life, but he had to say that he was a strategic retreat.
The most ironic thing is that at this time, you have to grab even a car.
After coming to Li Taichen's headquarters, he immediately put on an arrogant superior style.
I dislike the cold, I dislike the bad food, and I dislike Li Taichen for failing to do his duty.
Due to the rank of the army, Li Taichen could only endure it all.
At this time, Li Taichen's few remaining subordinates were gradually disorganized.
On the one hand, it is because he sees that the once high-ranking military leaders are hiding behind him, and he can't help but lose confidence.
On the other hand, these superiors do not set an example at all.
The soldier got only one message from these big guys
Surrender, there's no hope.
Even Lee Tae-sin's subordinates, who had always relied on him, drew their guns to dissuade him from continuing to resist.
The most ridiculous thing is that the Minister of Defense, who was in hiding almost the whole time, also showed up at the end.
It's just in the Quan Douguang camp.
used their radio to cut Lee Tae-chen from his military position in public.
In less than a night, almost all of Lee's deployments were disrupted by his superiors.
It is neither possible to defend nor to carry out**.
You can't go outside, and you can't get inside.
Suffering from the enemy on the back and fighting alone.
And his devotion to the country is undoubtedly the most touching place.
Seeing the end, one can't help but sigh at the whole thing.
Uncle Yu once thought that this mutiny was just Quan Douguang's strength was too strong.
In the movie, it subverts many people's consistent ideas.
It's not that the villains who seize power are too strong, but that there are too many incompetent people at the top.
Only a few wise and resolute patriotic generals such as Li Taichen remained, and they could not resist the mighty rebel forces at all.
Seeing the survival of the country in the hands of such a group of waste.
It can't help but make people feel extremely sad and angry, and helpless.
Dare to shoot
These two words are undoubtedly one of the most praised Korean films.
Especially in the theme of political thrillers, Korean movies can be said to be familiar with it.
In fact, the history of the Fifth Republic when Chun Doo-hwan was in power alone has produced many excellent works over the years.
"Gorgeous Holiday" that exposes the Gwangju incident.
"The Defender" focuses on the Bulin incident.
"1987" presenting the June Pro-Democracy Movement, etc.
It's not hard to see that they all have something in common.
All focus on the most sensitive period of history, tooChoose a unique perspective to unfold.
Including ordinary college students, taxi drivers, soldiers, lawyers, and many more.
The most special thing about "Seoul Spring" is that it directly turns the initiator into the first protagonist.
Even if it is a similar history, you can always feel a surprise in watching the movie.
Seoul Spring features a villain character as the protagonist and ends the film with his victory.
Even if you know this history, you will be thrilled by the direction of the plot of the movie.
Because it is not only the inevitability of history that is felt in it, but alsoHuman choice has played a huge role in the turmoil of history.
Just like Jeon Doo-guang, there are multiple episodes during this period that make people feel that he will fail.
For example, the troops were blocked, the application for an arrest warrant was refused, and so on.
At least in those moments, we can see that Lady Luck is not on his side.
Coupled with Quan Douguang's subordinates, there are also some incompetents.
All this makes people feel that his rebellion will end in failure.
However, it was those accidents and accidents that became the turning point that changed history at critical moments.
Of course, Quan Douguang also has a great advantage over others.
For example, over the years, gangs have formed and gathered together a large internal organization.
Another example is to make a decision at a critical juncture and dare to break the kettle.
Maybe intentionally, but also unintentionally.
All decisions helped him to the end.
It can be said thatThe disenchantment of Quan Douguang and others in the movie has given contemporary people a new perspective to examine history.
They may not all be God-men, but they may just be lucky.
In an era where corruption is rampant, conservative ideas are maintained, and democratic ideas are weak.
The ones that keep me coming back to the most are thoseThe choice of ordinary people
Knowing that there is no power to return to heaven, some people choose to continue to hold on.
Even if he may face death, he is unwilling to compromise and surrender.
There are also people who become wallgrass.
Even if you are the Minister of Defense, you will soon defect to the enemy camp.
Just a single thought can determine the length of life and change the direction of history.
Such a sense of pathos pervades the whole movie, which can't help but make people feel embarrassed.
Although it is always said that history is written by the victors.
However, losers are not necessarily meaningless.
Not being knocked down is also a valuable victory.
