After watching this movie, I was really scared by the phone

It's quite interesting to see a statement recently.

What is said is that your phone is your replica. What you say, watch, like, and express every day is left in your phone.

So, if you pick up your phone, you can make a complete copy of another you.

It's an exaggeration, but it does make some sense.

Especially at this moment when the mobile Internet has deeply invaded our lives, in fact, each of us is doing similar things, that is, to make the mobile phone more familiar with you, understand you better, and even...

And recently, there happened to be a new film, which is a thriller about mobile phones.

That is:

This is Netflix's latest Korean movie, Although I Just Lost My Phone.

As you can also see, in fact, the Douban score of this film is not particularly high, only 6.6 points. Including after I have seen it, I can only give a three-star evaluation.

However, I think this movie is still worth recommending.

Although it is not particularly outstanding, this topic is really closely related to everyone, and the topics and thrillers caused by it are quite substitutionary. Even, it will trigger many friends to discuss the matter of mobile phones.

It's a very new, very up-to-date movie, which is quite interesting.

Actually, this topic is not the first time it has been filmed.

Because, this story actually comes from a Japanese mystery novel, called "Just Lost Your Phone"

And Japan has also made a movie of the same name before, directed by Hideo Nakata, the director of "Midnight Bell".

Now it seems that this lineup is quite powerful. Keiko Kitagawa and Kei Tanaka co-starring, others include Yuda Chiba, Ling Narita, Stupid Rhythm and so on.

In fact, the Japanese version of the story is closer to the plot of the original novel, all of which is that the heroine's boyfriend loses his mobile phone, and then, he gets into all kinds of trouble.

However, the story is based on the case of mobile phone theft, and many plots have been derived, such as perverted murderers, the identity of the heroine, and so on.

Because o Some settings are more buggy, the evaluation is not particularly high.

And the film also has a problem, that is, this is not really a thriller story derived from mobile phones, and the creator's understanding of mobile phones and the Internet is still too outdated, which also makes the film unable to empathize with the audience.

And the most noteworthy thing about the Korean version of "Although I Just Lost the Mobile Phone" this time is that it is more Internet and more about the story derived from the mobile phone itself.

That's why the film is more terrifying.

You will feel,

Huh? That's true.

Or it is also because Netflix, as an Internet video company, is really familiar with this kind of topic.

The Korean version of "Although I Just Lost My Mobile Phone" has a different setting from the original at the beginning, and the original version is that the heroine's boyfriend lost his mobile phone.

The Korean version is that the heroine's own mobile phone is lost, and the heroine is still a single woman living alone.

This setting will make it easier for the character to fall into danger. In particular, single women living alone are also a very discussed topic at present, and it is easy to bring into social discussions.

Qian Woo-hee, who plays the heroine, is a very noteworthy Korean actress after 85, and her performance in the independent movie "Princess Han" was impressive. The performance in this film also adds a lot of credibility to this character.

Her very life-like performance makes this character more neighbor-to-door, a simple, ordinary, and neurological girl next door.

Then, she lost her phone.

It doesn't matter if you lose your phone. What matters is the various things that happen after you lose your phone.

It's wonderful, even chilling.

This movie is not a suspense film.

The film doesn't play any tricks, and tells you who the villain is at the beginning.

That is the mysterious boy who Ren Shiwan starred in.

In fact, Ren Shiwan is also a very interesting actor, obviously a handsome little guy, but often plays some contrasting roles.

Previously, in the all-star disaster film "Very Declaration", he played an evil terrorist.

Extraordinary Declaration

And in this "Although I just lost my phone", he is still the villain, this time a perverted murderer full of voyeurism and stalking.

It was he who picked up the heroine's mobile phone.

In fact, it doesn't matter if he picks up the phone, what matters is what he did afterwards.

Ren's role is still that of a highly intelligent criminal, well-planned, and well-versed in hacking techniques. Therefore, what he wants is obviously not just a broken mobile phone.

Rather, everything about you.

He first designed to deceive the heroine's mobile phone password, and then, without the heroine's knowledge, secretly installed a hacking program in the heroine's mobile phone. Then, he returned the lost mobile phone to the heroine.

The heroine found that the mobile phone was lost and recovered, and she was quite happy, so she began to continue her life.

And that's when her troubles really began.

As we said at the beginning, the phone is now another you, and it can even be said that the mobile phone understands you better than yourself.

What you like to eat, what you like to watch, what you like to play, what you say and do every day, and all kinds of privacy will leave traces in your phone.

And this hacking program implanted in the heroine's mobile phone has several functions, it can automatically synchronize all the information in your mobile phone. You are chatting and taking videos on your phone, and his other phone will display your current movements synchronously, basically, everything in your life is displayed to him on another phone.

In other words, the heroine's every move, word and deed are in the grasp of this perverted man.

That alone is chilling enough.

Especially the heroine is still a single woman living alone, but there is a mysterious man who is always watching you in the dark, he knows everything about you, but you don't know anything.

And this setting, in fact, is not particularly shown in the Japanese version of the film, or in other words, the creator of the Japanese version, in fact, its own understanding of mobile phones and the Internet is quite traditional.

Therefore, the adaptation of the final film also follows the path of traditional crime films, and at most adds the setting of a perverted murderer.

In the Korean version, hacking technology, people's dependence on mobile phones, troubles caused by the Internet and other very current topics have become the core themes of the film.

I think that only real Internet addicts really understand how terrifying this kind of 24-hour all-round surveillance is.

In addition to monitoring and copying your phone information, of course.

He can also manipulate your phone and, without your knowledge, post social media feeds for you, or send messages to other people.

Yes, he not only knows you very well, but can replace you.

What's even more frightening is that the words that are used in the film are:

It only took me three days to do all this.

Yes, it really doesn't take long. After being analyzed and classified by mobile phones and various software, it is actually very simple to understand a person.

In short, in such a movie, you can feel very real the horror of everything being watched.

It's probably the funniest thing this thriller has to offer.

As for the various criminal methods after that, good and evil wars and the like, in fact, they have returned to a more conventional crime film number, which is actually not too attractive and not very exciting.

It's just that such a movie can still be watched.

Especially, that, addicted to mobile phones,

You.
