Pirates 2: The Banner of the Ghosts is a work directed by Kim Jung-hoon, starring Kang Ha-na, Han Hyo-joo, Lee Kwang-so, Kwon Sang-woo and Oh Se-hoon, and embodies a spirit of adventure in the film.
Set against the backdrop of a pirate story from the Joseon Dynasty, the film tells the story of a pirate who seeks royal treasures. The general Zhu Fang took out the treasure of the royal family, drifted at sea, and disappeared. Many people want to get the treasure, but they can't find the treasure map.
The pirate ship led by the female leader drifts at sea, and the pirates on the ship are looking for treasure and risking it. The pirate Yu Wuzhi was originally a lazy chivalrous guest, mixed in with the pirate ship, disobeying discipline. But when they found some traces of hidden treasure, they looked for it decisively. Whether they go ashore to look for it or to the island, they have to go through some risky things, and only in this way can they show their spirit of risking for the sake of wealth. In fact, it is only the embodiment of the pioneering and enterprising spirit of capitalism, not some proletarian ideology.
The film is a bit mysterious. According to the treasure map, they found a treasure in a cave on an island, so they took the air-filled pig urine to the island, dived into the cave, and really found some gold and silver, but did not find gold. At this time, the officers and soldiers led by Fu Xinsu arrived to rob them of gold and silver. Yu Wuzhi resisted Fu Xinsu's attack and took the opportunity to throw the chest containing gold and silver into the water, and then jumped into the water, holding the rope that bound the gold and silver chest in his hand. At this time, Fu Xinsu also dived into the water and followed. However, after all, Fu Xinsu did not have an inflated pig urine breathing, and could only give up halfway. And Yu Wuzhi himself could not breathe well, and when the thousand guns broke out, the female regiment leader came to save him. When she was about to float to the surface, the female regiment leader was no longer able to do so, and released the hand that grabbed Yu Wuzhi. Yu Wuzhi felt something strange, took a sharp breath of pig urine, sank down, hugged the female regimental leader, and squirted her mouth-to-mouth, thus saving the female regimental leader.
When they got on the ship, they learned that the real treasure was not gold and silver, but the battle flag. The pattern of the battle flag is a treasure map, pointing to the place where the gold was buried. It is believed that the funny character Xiao Mo in the pirates hid the map, so Xiao Mo became the target of public criticism for a while. The pirates stripped Xiao Desert of his clothes, tied him up, and asked him to tell where the gold was hidden. Xiao Mo did know where the gold was hidden, that is, the island where lightning and lightning struck endlessly.
Supposedly, they had already received a lot of silver and did not have to take risks. But the female leader still took them to the island, which led to a big war.
When we arrived at the island, it was indeed lightning that struck and struck. Yu Wuzhi went to the top of the mountain that had been struck by lightning to check what was going on, and the female leader led people to look for it on the mountainside. Unexpectedly, the officers and soldiers came and fired at the pirate ships parked at sea, scattering the pirate ships. Yu Wuzhi at the top of the mountain found a strange phenomenon, that is, there was an abandoned village at the top of the mountain, and the place where it was struck by lightning was a platform. Around the platform were several large guns, and on the large guns were the heads of people, all of which were the heads of generals in the Joseon Dynasty. Those lightning bolts and thunder struck the platform constantly, and those big guns seemed to be a kind of formation, or magic symbol.
Fu Xinsu came with someone and sent someone to pull out the big gun. The soldier who drew the big gun was either struck by lightning or killed by the mechanism, and Fu Xinsu discovered the secret, pulled out the representative big gun, and found a box underneath, and inside the box was a wooden mask, similar to the pattern on the flag. At this time, Yu Wuzhi jumped out, snatched the mask, and wanted to duel with Fu Xinsu.
The desert at the bottom of the mountain was chased by everyone, and the pirates all thought that the desert had deceived everyone and destroyed the ship. In the process of escaping, Xiao Mo found a penguin with a gold nugget in its mouth. He beckoned everyone to go and find the treasure, but the ship was destroyed, and they had no way to retreat.
The spirit of adventure is brought to life. Xiao Mo chased the penguin, chased to the bottom of the cliff, just happened to be hit by the wooden mask thrown by Yu Wuzhi on the cliff, holding the mask to compare the shape of the cave, just in line with it, he went to the inside of the cave, found Zhu Fang's treasure ship, the boat was all gold bars. Still, a lot of penguins were there waiting for him, slapping him and in his face.
He shouted, ran out in his ship, carried the pirates, went to sea, and dueled with the officers and men. They killed officers and soldiers, drove the treasure ship out of the attack of volcanoes and tsunamis, and escaped. At the top of the mountain, Yu Wuzhi was seriously injured in a duel with Fu Xinsu, and the knife was also knocked out, and when the companion who rushed up threw a knife, lightning struck the knife, which hit Fu Xinsu's body and killed him. Fu Xinsu's men scattered the birds and beasts, and Yu Wuzhi took a few pirates down the mountain, boarded the ship, and won the love of the female leader.
The adventurous spirit of the pirates was rewarded, and they not only received gold and silver, but also defeated the officers and soldiers led by Fu Xinsu, and of course won a great victory. Perhaps, the pirate spirit of adventure that the film focuses on is subverting an orthodox concept, and people must have a spirit of commercial adventure, a spirit of exploration, a spirit of teamwork, a spirit of resistance...
