When the curtain slowly opened in Seoul, South Korea, the premiere of the movie "Broken Tomb" attracted a lot of attention. Choi Min-sik, Kim Go-eun, Yoo Hae-jin and other leaders of the Korean film and television industry gathered together to stand for this film full of mystery and thriller. However, in addition to the appeal of the film itself, the audience also keenly captured the hidden problem of "cultural theft".
The story of the movie "Broken Tomb" revolves around a feng shui master, a witch and an undertaker. They gather over a large monetary transaction with the goal of moving a suspicious grave. However, as they delve deeper into this deceptively simple task, a series of eerie and terrifying events begin to unfold one after another.
Mr. Feng Shui, played by Choi Min-sik in the film, is a key figure in the whole story. With his unique insight into Feng Shui, he judged whether the location of the tomb was auspicious. Kim Gao Eun, on the other hand, plays the role of a mysterious witch, and her role is full of mystery and charm. Liu Haizhen appeared as an undertaker, adding a lot of suspense to the story.
However, despite the film's intriguing plot and cast, audiences have different opinions on the cultural elements involved. Some people believe that the elements of feng shui and witchcraft in the movie are part of traditional Korean culture, while some people believe that these elements actually originated from China and that South Korea is "stealing culture".
In fact, Feng Shui, as an ancient architectural design concept, has a long history and profound cultural heritage in China. South Korea's interest in feng shui goes back decades. As early as 2003, South Korea launched the Feng Shui World Heritage Program in an attempt to incorporate this cultural phenomenon into its cultural heritage. Although this plan ultimately failed, South Korea's interest in feng shui has not waned.
How should we view such controversy? Perhaps, the movie "Broken Tomb" itself is just an entertainment work, and what it presents is just a fictional story. However, as viewers, we can't ignore the cultural issues involved. After all, culture is the soul and foundation of a country, and any appropriation and distortion of culture should cause us to be vigilant.
The outstanding performances of actors such as Choi Min-sik, Kim Go-eun, and Yoo Hae-jin undoubtedly added a lot to the movie "Broken Tomb". They use their acting skills and professionalism to bring each character to life, making the audience feel as if they are in a world full of mystery and thriller. But at the same time, we also hope that these excellent actors can pay more attention to and respect their own cultural traditions, and avoid unconsciously spreading and reinforcing wrong cultural perceptions in the process of performing roles.
