The case of the division of corpses by Hong Kong celebrities has been temporarily settled.
All four murderers were arrested.
Sir has always paid attention to the case, but there are very few effective in-depth reports, and many "media" have rendered it as a curious web article, entertaining and gossiping about crime in order to squeeze traffic.
The carnival of public opinion is actually the sorrow of all of us.
But recently there was a discussion that finally brought the focus back to focus:
Hong Kong's criminal law abolished the death penalty as early as 1993, so even in cases of an extremely egregious nature such as murder and shredding, the most serious sentence will only be life imprisonment.
Quite a few people strangled.
Such scum actually used taxpayers' money to give them pensions?
Leng Buding had a thought in his heart - "If only someone could replace the Sky Walking Dao." ”
That Sir asks you.
If there really is a civil society organization.
For the sake of justice, they can help you avenge, wash your wrongs, ask for debts, and solve villains who don't even have the law.
Would you want it to exist?
Wait a minute.
I advise you not to rush to answer:
Model Taxi 2
Model Taxi
Based on the Korean webtoon of the same name.
The first season set a record, with 30,000 people scoring a high score of 8.2.
In the second season, the original cast returned, and it soared directly to 9.0.
The story line is very simple.
Under the name of a black "model taxi", the six-person team voluntarily assumes the responsibility of social scavengers, helping people take revenge on behalf of customers and clear their grievances.
Their customers come from all walks of life:
Students who have been bullied at school, disabled people who have been forced into labor, victims of telecommunications fraud, girls disabled by sexual violence, and victims of South Korea's well-known sexual exploitation "Room N", among others.
Being able to see the shadow linked with reality in film and television dramas can be said to be a major cool point of cool dramas.
But this time.
I'm sorry.
Sir no longer followed the praise.
As an old fan of the first season, Ben is looking forward to the second season, but after watching a few updated episodes, he was a little disappointed.
Because when we face evil.
Even more uncomfortable than the defeat of justice is the triumph of self-deluded spirit.
01
Sir must admit that "Taxi" is a great dinner drama.
It has the standard selling point of Korean dramas.
Handsome and beautiful, bloody.
Scenes, scales, movements, elements are full.
Even, you will feel very cool.
For example, how do bad guys "kill"?
Dead cheap.
If you want to kill, kill the hope of life.
At the beginning of the second season, the male protagonist waited for an opportunity in the prison, preparing to punish the three criminals in "Room N" in the first season.
The criminals are discussing how to continue to satisfy those who "ask for resources" after they are released from prison.
Can we still get back to our old business, big brother
Big brother still has recruitment subscribers in prison
Hey waiting for our audience
There are tens of thousands of people in South Korea alone
Who thought, accompanied by a loud bang.
The "Robbery" clip is staged.
The male protagonist took the three away and locked them up in a small black room.
As soon as the light is turned on:
In front of them were the guns of the prison guards, as well as the news on television that they had attacked the police officers and escaped from prison.
- How can you have a gun on your hands ?!
-I don't know
Before the three could react, they "banged" again:
SWAT broke down the door.
At this time, they were all about to be released, but because they escaped from prison, their sentences were suddenly increased to life.
Completely descended into hell.
Is it cool?
This is just the beginning.
The end of "Room N" is just a link in the disintegration of social evil, and the first four episodes that have aired tell two more complete and more secret black stories.
First, the Vietnam labor case.
An uncle from a fried chicken shop came to the police station and begged the police to help him find his son, who went abroad to work, saying that he would contact him regularly.
But after going abroad, the world evaporated, and the phone could not be reached.
A suicide note was later sent.
The father cried, but in the face of the situation that the adult ran away and had a suicide note, the police could only think that it was a personal choice and could not interfere more.
The son's life and death are uncertain, and there is nothing he can do.
The uncle who was full of ashes came to the bridge and prepared to commit suicide.
Right at this moment.
He caught a glimpse of a small advertisement, taped to the outside of the bridge.
Only those who jump into the river can see it.
The father, who was unwilling to give up the last glimmer of hope, still dialed the above number.
Receiving the task, the squad was dispatched.
Sir didn't expect the second season to completely break the routine:
Just appeared, eat up first.
The male protagonist came to Vietnam alone, and was restrained by criminals on the way undercover to the thieves' nest.
When he woke up, he found himself hanging upside down, suspended in the air.
In front of them are job seekers with blue noses and swollen faces.
and a freshly slaughtered pig on a cutting board.
The pig-killing knife is firmly squeezed in the hands of the criminals.
The metaphor could not be more obvious:
An elaborate "pig killing plate".
Sir will not go into detail about the revenge process, wait for you to see for yourselves.
To summarize.
It was the model detachment of divine soldiers who not only rescued the compatriots trapped in other villages, but also chopped the bad guys and cut vegetables.
It's like a full-level boss entering the novice village, easily like a Korean wolf.
02
In Douban's short comment, a considerable number of people applauded this "cool".
Why do we love watching cool dramas so much?
In cool dramas, we can often achieve justice that cannot be achieved in reality, and we can avoid the cost behind achieving "justice".
It seems to be divorced from reality, but in fact, it is close to reality everywhere.
For example, the story of Vietnamese laborers, there are many college students who have received higher education who have been tricked into going to a foreign country, which is somewhat incredible?
It's all too normal in South Korea.
There are many volumes of the Korean college entrance examination, you know, and you have also seen the distorted class solidification in the Korean drama "Penthouse".
In addition to elite universities, graduates of second- and third-rate universities can only wander on the fringes of society.
Not only must we face the dimensionality reduction blow of peers, but also the pressure of employment under academic discrimination.
Then.
I heard that there is a large factory abroad, which specializes in recruiting Korean college students, with a monthly income of 50,000, traveling at public expense, and not looking at academic qualifications...
Who is not impressed?
But I found out when I came.
The major is completely unused, and the high-caliber students majoring in computer science must first study baccarat, roulette wheel, fried golden flowers...
△ The baccarat you are familiar with, Lisboa, and sexy dealers online dealings are all such scam games
The second story, which you are more familiar with.
Empty nesters.
The story is about empty nesters in rural South Korea.
But if you pay attention to the recent social news, this is not far away.
The elderly are away from home for many years because their children are not at home and have some savings.
It has become a perfect target in the eyes of fraudsters.
He does not feel that they are pitiful, but they are the objects with a high success rate
Fraudsters will pretend to be caring for the elderly, helping the elderly sell vegetables in rural areas where young labor is scarce, helping them do some housework and accompanying them to relieve boredom.
Wait until the old man trusts them with all his heart.
This group of people will trick the elderly into signing credit card applications, sign up for high-value packages with phone numbers, sell fake goods to cheat taxes, and so on.
And these old people, who do not want to cause trouble for their children, will mostly choose to bear everything themselves.
An unnoticed detail.
After being scammed by scammers and taking away all their belongings.
The grandmother, who usually dresses simply, tidied up her clothes and put on new shoes before walking to the speeding train.
Reveals a rare solemnity.
Just because he was wearing not only a hanbok, but also a life dress.
She didn't want to disturb her child's life because of her mistakes and decided to die.
Of course, tragedy doesn't happen just like that.
The function of cool drama is to give people a glimmer of life when they are desperate and helpless.
And completely turn over.
The existence of the "messenger of justice" seems to be the hope of the people at the bottom for a combination of power and justice that cannot exist in reality.
But what about after the cooling?
I'm sorry.
Sir may have to say something unpleasant.
03
To ask what is the biggest step back from the second season compared to the first season, old fans can probably answer in unison:
Downsizing.
Not only the protagonist Goldfinger vs the debasement of criminals.
It is also the logic of the whole story that is gradually disconnected, for the cool and refreshing wisdom.
In addition to the male protagonist in the last season, everyone in the squad can properly show their strengths and character charm.
And the head of the entire squad, the taxi company representative.
Last season was still a wise man who wrestled with the underworld and fought with prosecutors.
This season can only be temporarily reduced to a background board, outputting some laughs that I don't know what to say.
We all know that the story of a model taxi is nothing more than a narcotic for life.
Its existence, like the reality of the lack of third-party forces outside the law and public opinion, has a short but beautiful gap to fill the gaps.
The evil that the law cannot punish, it can;
Salvation that cannot be obtained at the bottom, it gives.
Almost every case corresponds to a real case.
The first season of "Zhao Doozhe", based on Zhao Doochun, the main culprit of the "Suyuan Case" who committed violence against young girls in reality and has now been released from prison;
The "Forced Labor Case of a Mentally Disabled Woman" is based on the Yantian slave incident in Shinan-gun, Jeolla Province, South Korea.
"Internet boss beating employee" is based on WeDisk chairman Leung Zhenhao, who was filmed publicly abusing employees.
The second season apparently also carries on this tradition.
"Room N" and "Vietnam Labor Case" are adapted from the real-life online sexual exploitation and the death of illegal gambling workers in Thailand.
To match the details.
The crew also specially restored the same service as the real characters for the villains.
△ The top is a still, and the bottom is a real photo of the criminal
Elaborate to this point, what is not satisfied?
Sir has a less apt analogy:
If the way the series opens up reality is delicate brushwork.
The way it crosses reality is scrawled like a villain book.
The male protagonist alone can single out dozens of villains;
The scenes of the male partners were cut, leaving water-filled line jokes in vain;
The villains are all paper tigers, and they can't move infighting and fighting at every turn to reduce the difficulty.
Under the banner of "reality", it has become a substitute for "reality".
△ This Sir looks like his toes scratch the ground
Plainly:
There is an essential difference between cool and scratching boots.
When we withdraw from the series and face reality, is it the unending pleasure or a more lost contrast that springs up in our hearts?
The gap in reality will certainly not be filled by a cool drama.
But at least.
We can not only pursue coolness, but also think more after coolness.
There are no "model taxis" in the world, some are just thousands of passengers desperately trying to get on it.
We are going to continue to play the role of passengers.
Or within the red lines of law and morality, become the one who holds the steering wheel as much as possible?
Sir remembers the real details of Room N.
25-year-old college student Kim Jae-so.
After initially learning of the existence of Room N, he immediately chose to call the police, but there was no follow-up.
In order not to be kicked in the group.
He went from being the first whistleblower to a participant, uploading his own videos, and eventually becoming the operator of a small room.
If in the beginning, he can insist on his justice for that second and beyond.
So will room N not develop to such a scale, and will the victims be reduced?
From rebelling against sin, to wiping one's own sin, to participating in sin.
And how far is it?
Back to the question at the beginning of the article:
"For Skywalk".
In Sir's view, "walking" is the simple justice that each of us believes in in our hearts, and "for heaven" will dissolve our sense of reverence for justice.
The sky is too far away.
The Word begins right under our noses, where we can reach it.
Walk the way for "oneself" and walk for "people", and finally it is possible to walk the way of the world.
Compared to the empty and ethereal desire to "fight evil with evil".
Perhaps upholding true justice is easier than you think.
By that time.
There is no need for boring heroes and fairy tales.
