Today let's talk about the Korean drama "Anna".
Title두 번째 안나 / Anna (2022), alias Second Anna.
"Anna" tells the story of a woman named Seduct Mo, who lives a completely different life through one lie after another.
Zhu Mo is the only daughter of a small-town tailor, and her academic performance was good when she was a child, and her life was relatively hard. When she was about to graduate from her third year of high school, she fell in love with a school teacher, which led to her being forced to change schools. After coming to Seoul to live alone, she began to envy the flowery world of university life here, but she repeated her studies again and again and still failed to be admitted to the university of her choice. An accidental lie, she pretended to be a famous college student and lived a completely different double life ever since.
This is a TV series that moves indifferently in quiet and low temperatures, and it is very effective there. Mr. Hidechi is really charming to play the protagonist of a repetitive lie beautifully, and sadly.
When she was in a small town, she had not seen too many flowers and flowers, her thoughts were very simple, at most she was betrayed by scumbags, and after entering Seoul, she saw the luxurious life of others, and she could never go back. Become a rich person, become a person who instructs others, and you can lie down and count money, all kinds of dictates, this has become the goal of tempting ink.
Tempting Mo fell in love with a teacher in high school, thinking that he had met a real destiny and could live a sweet life.
After the love was discovered, the teacher pushed the responsibility away, and he didn't have a fart to do, and the lure ink could only transfer schools before dawn and leave. Since then, Lumo no longer has illusions about men, life has to go on, and men are not a necessity.
The subsequent college romance based on lies once again extinguished the small flame of love in her heart. Seduction Mo has no feelings for men, and in the later days, the audience can directly see that she will no longer faint in love.
"Anna" has been advancing the plot in a relatively quiet state, and Bae Xiuzhi repeats lies beautifully and coldly, slowly and effectively showing personal charm.
There is nothing wrong with Seduction Mo wanting to live a good life, and her background is sympathetic, but she has been frustrated in her attempts at formal means. Poor people must have hateful things, and she has obtained wealth far beyond ordinary people by taking a crooked path, which really makes people love and hate.
The strange experience of seducing ink is like a refraction of a deformed society, just as the so-called murder and arson of the gold belt, building bridges and repairing roads without corpses, step by step may starve to death, hard work can not get rich, and fly camp dogs to steal men and women prostitutes, but can soar.
Truth is very interesting, the truth is what everyone believes, and it has nothing to do with the facts.
The moment you believe, the lie becomes the truth.
Regardless of name, family, education, as long as you believe a certain statement, it is true. This is true of the things in the play, and it is also true of all kinds of things in life. The bolder you are, the more bizarre you are, and the more believable you are.
Luring ink only deceives status and wealth, while politicians deceive the whole country, and when everyone despises small scammers, they don't feel that there is anything wrong with big scammers.
Anna is an art historian, while her husband is a politician.
It is important to know that this combination is not a coincidence, the two have something in common in essence. Nonsense is part of their job, the essence is to fool, and over time, they even believe what they say.
"Anna" has the feeling of a drama version of "Parasite".
The play is full of sharp contrasts between the bottom and the high, the poor and the rich, the ambitious and the dead, the two groups of people are constantly switching roles.
The poor yearn for the life of the rich, but they despise the appearance of the rich who are indifferent to the rich, and when they are rich and powerful, they do not feel that they have become more serious.
Interestingly, there are two versions of "Anna", one is the 6-episode version of "Anna" that we usually see, and the other is the 8-episode version of "Anna Director's Cut", both of which can be seen in Amazon video.
The director of the show and the production company Coupang Play have different ideas around story editing, the director insists on 8 episodes, and the company only agrees to the reduced 6 episodes, the crew members have issued statements in support of the director, and the Directors Guild of Korea has also come forward to ask for respect for the director. In the end, a compromise was reached, and both versions were on the platform.
Think about the fate of "Anna", the director insists on it and can be on both versions, on the other hand, the director has been petitioning for so long...
The 8-episode version is 429 minutes long, and the 6-episode version is 304 minutes.
The difference between the two versions is mainly in Zhu Mo's childhood, and the 8-episode version slows down the pace, describes the growth environment of Zhu Mo as a child in more detail, and depicts her psychology in more detail, increasing the depth of the narrative.
For example, her relationship with American foreign teachers, her story of participating in ballet competitions, her sympathetic father refused to win the first place in the school, etc., such as her tragic experience of working to make a living, etc., in the 6-episode version, these stories were quickly skipped, resulting in the audience being unfamiliar with the psychological change process of seduction, and may feel that her transformation is a little abrupt.
The 8-episode version slows down the pace, and the later changes of the characters seem more reasonable, but if the audience likes the fast pace, they will feel that the tension is weakened.
Anyway, no matter which version, Lumo has become the biggest winner with his acting skills.
True or false, when false is also true,
There is somewhere and there is nothing.
