Generally speaking, Korean film directors "Xiafan" will choose the theme they are good at.
"Suwon" and "Mourning" director Lee Bin-ik made a drama for the first time, did not choose historical themes or social issues, but chose the sci-fi theme that is the easiest to overturn in Korean dramas, and his courage is commendable.
First of all, let's talk about the shortcomings, this "Yonder (aka over there)" has a total of 6 episodes, each with a volume of 30 minutes, and it is the length of a movie to watch it at double speed, but it still makes people feel that the pace is very slow, and most of the time it relies on Shin Hajun's emotional transformation to promote the development of the plot.
Adapted from the novel "Good bye, Yonder", it stands to reason that there is a novel text as the foundation, and the plot line should be very solid.
But this story is very thin, that is, after Shin Ha-kyun's wife euthanasia, he came to a world "Yonder" that seems to make people immortal.
The pace is slow and the plot is stuffy, which is easy to make people abandon the drama, but I still insisted on chasing it to the end, first of all out of my love for director Li Hunyi.
Director Li is an advertiser, the lens language is pleasing to the eye, and the opening style of this drama reminds me of another American drama "Life Cutting" that can be sealed at the beginning of this year.
Director Li's storytelling in the movie is characterized by full stamina, and he will feel bored when he watches it, and he will always reminisce after watching it.
He often shoots historical themes, but his discussions are not limited to historical events, such as the cruelty of feudal etiquette before family affection in "Mourning", and by extension, the sadness of father and son in the context of East Asian culture.
Last year's "Zishan Fish Tree", through the historical events of Ding Ruoquan's exile to Montenegro Island, and the story of his mentorship and friend with fisherman Changda, tortures the choice between birth and accession in the real background.
Returning to this "Yonder", through the shell of science fiction, Li Hunyi is still continuing the common philosophical topic discussions in his film works.
Such as eternal life and death, memory and forgetting, happiness and unhappiness.
This reminds me of the previous American drama "Upload a New Life", and the plot settings of the two dramas are almost identical.
But the difference is that the media person played by Shin Ha-kyun was skeptical and even resistant to this Yonder who built an immortal world by extracting memories from the beginning.
At the beginning of the American drama, the philosophical question of "I think, therefore I am", people will permanently retain their consciousness in the virtual world after death, as long as they can always feel the existence, does it mean eternal life?
It's a pity that the discussion of this issue in American dramas has been superficial, but the heroine's father refused to upload it after death to give another answer.
Even if the virtual world is real, is it just to satisfy a certain obsession of the living?
This is also the reason why Shin Ha-kyun did not feel excited when he saw his wife after his death, but constantly doubted.
He first questioned the Yonder operator, played by Li Sangyin, who exploited people's weaknesses to make money.
Dr. Zhang, who built Yonder, was Li's lover who died five years ago, and his earliest motivation for research was to prolong his brain-dead daughter's life in another dimension.
Dr. Zhang's halo above his head has been promoting "handsome design for death", much like the propaganda slogan of a cult, and unlike other brainwashed people, Shen Hajun has always remained calm and restrained.
Can the death thing really be handsomely created? Does eternal life really make sense?
Unexpectedly, Shen Hejun chose to use the method of "practice to produce true knowledge" to personally go to Yonder to explore the answer.
In the beginning, Yonder does show a picture of paradise, with his wife and all the scenes of their dreams, the sea when he opens the door, and Shen He writes novels on Hemingway's typewriter.
The best thing is that the daughter who took a good name but did not come to the world became a cute little person here.
The people who had a relationship with Shenhe before were all abandoned people in the real world.
They all chose suicide to come to Yonder to live their ideal lives with their dead relatives.
But these are just pictures piled up by extracting memories, they are not real, they are full of everything, but empty.
Just like Shen Hejun repeatedly asked his wife at the beginning, if the memory is deliberately preserved, then is there still you in my memory? Do you still have me in your memory?
Memories are beautiful because they are fluid, they are fleeting, and they cannot be forcibly remembered.
Therefore, when Han Zhimin found that her daughter would not grow up, everything that made her feel happy here was static, cyclical, and those beautiful pictures were just illusions that were frozen, and her happiness immediately collapsed.
Returning to the original question, the good memories that are forcibly remembered are only illusions, and such eternal life is meaningless.
The final landing point is also the most simple truth, don't think about eternal life after death, cherish every moment of the moment.
