The ugly star chaser dog is here

In June this year, South Korean artist Lee Kwang-so announced that he would leave Running Man, a variety show he had been participating in for 11 years, and would focus on his main business as an actor in the future.

More than a month later, "Actor Lee Kwang-so" bid farewell to RM's first starring movie "The Ground Sinker" landed in the Korean summer file.

In this small-cost disaster film, Lee Kwang-so, as the predecessor of Cha Shengyuan, who cooperated with the model three times and Kim Sung-jun, who is well known to the public through the "Please Answer" series, the theme and the cast are quite expected by the audience.

"The Ground Sinker" tells such a story:

Section chief Park Dong-won (Kim Sung-joon) finally bought a three-bedroom apartment after 11 years of struggle in Seoul.

On this day, he invited his colleague Jin Agent (Lee Kwang-so) and others to come to his home to attend the housewarming banquet, but he did not expect that a "sinkhole" appeared under the building, and the entire five-story building fell into a depth of five hundred meters underground in just one minute.

Also trapped underground are neighbors Jeong Wan-so (Cha Seung-won) and others. Disaster strikes, and they must find a way to escape.

Sounds very exciting.

Don't ask why only this building fell into it, I'd love to ask the screenwriter too

After the release of the summer program in South Korea, "The Ground Sinker" did achieve good results:

The film topped the weekend box office in its first week of release, while reaching the highest first weekend box office of a Local Korean film at the time with a cumulative total of 920,000 viewers.

Two weeks after its release, "The Ground" also broke the record for the highest opening of Korean local films in 2021 and the record of 1 million viewers in the shortest time.

"Sinkhole" movie viewers 2 million certified photos

Although the box office record is eye-catching, the quality of the film cannot be equated with the box office performance, and Douban currently has a score of 5.7.

As a disaster film, the biggest selling point of "GroundFall" is naturally the setting and special effects.

However, its setting and special effects are very "disaster".

Lee Kwang-so's first disaster film after leaving RM, overturned the preparation for disaster, but there are only a few strokes.

First of all, the basic setting of "Sinkhole" is that a sinkhole suddenly appears underground, causing the entire building to fall into a large pit five hundred meters deep, and everyone is trapped.

But under this setting, there are countless bugs that are visible to the naked eye.

An entire building is almost free fall for five hundred meters, what will be the audience's first reaction?

"It's dead."

However, the five floors of the tofu slag project in the movie can be stuck in the deep pit to keep the main structure intact. And the people inside are almost unharmed, and the most tragic thing is the shape of a gray head and a dirty face.

Even an 8-year-old child trapped in a garage alone can appear in the car with a full tail and a bunch of snacks next to it...

At the beginning of the disaster, the tone and rhythm of the whole film have exposed the imprecision of the script, and the audience naturally cannot really enter the play, and cannot experience the same fear and pain as the trapped people.

What's more, they don't hurt either.

As a disaster film of less than two hours, the "disaster" of "The Ground Sinker" begins in the 33rd minute of the film.

The first part is the funny work of the three main actors, including the plot of Kim's agent being clamped by the door, played by Lee Kwang-so.

When they reached the bottom of the ground, several people panicked for a few minutes, and then quickly got together and began to be funny.

Taxis continue to move in and out as they fall between floors, and Jeong Man-so is to be "chased for his life" on a small rooftop;

Chief Park wanted to rescue the jin agent in the car, but he did not expect that the window could be lowered, so the two almost kissed their faces;

The most outrageous thing is that after a while, a few unharmed people said that they were hungry, so they gathered on the roof to watch Zheng Wansu perform "Cooking Chicken"...

In this way, "The Ground" is actually a comedy — the kind that's not very funny.

A disaster movie, the rescue people are not hurried, the trapped people are not in a hurry, then only the audience can be left in the cinema for this crappy plot to the ground.

When it comes to special effects, "Sinkhole" is even more powerful to certify the fact that it is "small cost".

In a few big scenes such as the appearance of the sinkhole and the fall of the building, several shots of "Sinking" are not bad.

However, in important scenes such as looking down on the roof and the impact of the car body, the special effect of pulling the crotch leads to a very obvious sense of green screen.

In the details, the crew is also "perfunctory" very obvious, to name a chestnut:

Cha Seung-won's role of Jeong Man-so has a scene in the film where he stands on the roof and is buried in the sand.

During the process of Jung Man-so's burial and struggle, the film uses medium and close-up shots to show thrills.

But after his head is exposed, the camera cuts to the panorama, and we can clearly see that the thickness of the sand is not even half the thickness of the lying actor.

These bugs that make the audience play for a second are all over the place, "The Ground Sinks", and you say that this is a tense and exciting disaster film, and the credibility is insufficient.

Because the details and special effects cannot create a sense of realism, it is naturally difficult for the audience to empathize with the audience, which also makes the two main father-son family scenes of "Sinkhole" unable to bring the impact they deserve.

In this case, probably many viewers will be like Xiao Wan, thinking of the Korean movie "#活着" that was launched last summer.

Produced by Netflix, starring liu Yaren and popular actress Park Shin-hye, zombie type disaster films, the gimmick of "#活着" is no smaller than that of "The Ground Sinker".

However, after the film was launched, the Douban score quickly dropped to 5.7, and the biggest reason was also the various unreasonable details in the film.

For example, the IQ and hearing of zombies are the same from time to time, such as the lack of water and food for more than ten days, the protagonists are still clean, such as the male protagonist's plate inches never become longer...

Not to mention the clichéd script that seems to be generated by AI, and there is nothing new in the zombie genre film.

Disaster movies and science fiction movies come with their own gimmicks, which is why Korean filmmakers have flocked to it in recent years.

But there are gimmicks, the script is not solid, the performance is too perfunctory, the special effects are too plastic, and other issues often lead to the new film overturning.

Not far away, in the past two years, a large number of Korean topic films with science fiction and disaster themes, such as Liu Yaren's "#活着", Kong You's "Xu Fu", and Song Joong-ki's "Victory", have been overturned.

The biggest reason is the lack of professionalism and the lack of details.

We often say that film is the art of dreaming, but the foundation of dreams must also be laid by details.
