Watching movies, Sir is rarely "afraid".
Horror, blood, ghosts and the like are all small dishes.
But there was one thing Sir was afraid of, and he had admitted—his daughter's tears.
The last film that brought Sir Macho to tears was "The Gift of Room Seven."
This time there was another one, and Sir didn't hide it either.
Tear gas bomb, continued.

Mortgage
The warm story of Uncle and Lori.
The routine is not complicated.
It tells the story of two loan sharks who fail to collect debts, and the yin and yang mistakenly adopt a little girl.
In Kasiri, there are old drama bones, child stars, and idol actors.
South Korea's "National Dad" Sung Dong-il, "Please Answer 1988" Lee Deok-sun's father.
Even if the name is not familiar, it must be familiar with this face:
Park Zhaoyi, a small drama bone, has acted in "Save Me from Evil" and "Miss Hammurabi"...
There is also the heroine of the popular Korean drama "Secret Garden" and "Huang Zhenyi", Ha Ji Yuan.
In South Korea, the film rushed to the top of the box office as soon as it was released, attracting 508,000 viewers in three days, and giving a dose of chicken blood to the Korean film market after the epidemic.
It also received a very high rating of 9.17 points on the Korean net Naver, and its reputation is quite good.

So capable of playing?
The audience is overwhelmed by the warm tear gas?
Or is it really good enough to resonate with the public?
In Sir's opinion, the advantages and disadvantages of the film are just as obvious.
Excellent in "fine", the details are solid, the emotional promotion is delicate, and the afterglow is endless.
But in the general direction, it is a bit rough - the plot development is patterned, and the ending is too sensational and relatively out of control.
01
The story begins with a loan shark collection.
Debt collectors are two little who don't look like good people.
Park Tou-seok (Sung Dong-il), as the boss of the debt collection duo, steals and slips, has a strong personality... The kind of bluff.
Zhong Pei (Kim Hee-won) is a weak-hearted and cowardly subordinate, always providing good opinions, but never daring to implement them.
Well, the audience knows that this is the classic two-person routine of Korean comedy.
The film uses a plot to show their character.
The two hangered Er Lang dang into a commissary, and Park Tou Seok looked at the head of the thief first.
When he made sure there was no one, he stood up straight, swung out his bottle of Coke.
Out of the store, directly open the drink, on the street facial features exaggerated shout "cool".

- A long-term at the bottom, undignified.
But this is not completely unrefined, he can always give himself a decent comfort after being undignified.
After drinking coke, Park Tou-seok looked at it again to make sure that no one was there.
No one...... He began to look for a remedy to himself:
Nobody
Let's go to the bathroom
It's like just discovering this fact.
Then in the face of the questioning of his subordinates, he still had a good idea:
Did we eat it in vain?
Yes, no one takes any money
That's why people's hearts change
What kind of debt is such a weak collected?
The debt collector, a disgraced mother Kang Myung-ko (Kim Yoon-jin), who is dressed decently and with a child.
The three men confronted each other on the street, and in the middle of the conversation, Park TouShi took the woman's child as a guarantee for repaying the money.
Pay attention to the details of this paragraph.
When the street confrontation will definitely attract passers-by to watch - unlike in our domestic films, passers-by are often background boards - passers-by here, there is a play.
Park Tou-seok accidentally hits Kang Myung-ko. The daughter shouted, and the onlookers pointed out first, but no one was nosy.
The ones who hesitate to rush out and speak are a few students (that is, students who are not deeply involved in the world can still have this impulse of justice).
But in the face of two fierce hooligans, they also hesitated.
Zhong Pei took out a fake gold chain to intimidate, and the students began to laugh, but when Park Toushi was more vicious, they were also afraid.
Pay attention to the "deterrent power" of Park Tou-seok here, which will form an interesting contrast with his next attitude towards the little girl.
Back to the main story.
Jiang Mingzi's daughter was robbed, and this had to be redeemed.
She went crazy and pooled money, asking for money to go to the place where her husband used to work, and people wouldn't give it.
Borrowing money everywhere is fruitless, and you can't call the police.
Because the mother and daughter have no "identity" - they are illegal Korean detainees smuggled from China.
Seeing that there was no way out, Jiang Mingzi had to promise to send the child to a good family and exchange some money.
But no sooner had the trade call been made than the police appeared.
Yes, the mother must be repatriated, and the fate of the child is even more unpredictable.
The next plot begins to lay out the emotional transformation of the little girl and the uncle.
02
From strangers to emotionally dependent "fathers and daughters", if they are not carefully laid out, it is easy to appear blunt and abrupt.
So is the "Guarantee" laid out?
It worked.
Douban commented most about tears and crying.
Obviously, in the laying out of the "father-daughter" emotion, it does enough detail.
At the beginning, Toushi was fierce to the little girl who had been robbed, and gave people an ugly name:
"Warranties".
Because at this time, the girl is a mortgage, a thing.
In order to make "things" emotionally stable and not create trouble for themselves, toushi will also buy her good food and give her dolls to play with (the way given is very rough).
Also, dedicate a room for "things" to sleep.
But in the process, some human nature looms.
For example, when glancing at the A-movie picture in the subordinate room, the head stone will quickly cover the child's eyes.
The subsequent plot is that the guarantee gradually changes from "thing" to person.
She is a human (although she is a little person), a human being, and she will think of her mother and want to run away.
If you are a child, it is easy to meet other bad people.
When she encounters a perverted tramp on the road, toushi will walk up and knock over with a few punches – an interesting three-way stand, and after a few punches, toushi takes the side of the little girl from the villain's side (the screenwriter often uses this position to subtly transform the villain).
But contradiction is not enough.
Next, the girls are sold to nightclubs, and toushi is initially blind to money.
Until the contradictions became more and more intense, entangled with various emotions of self-blame, and gradually suppressed the headstone, he began to feel pity and love.
His expression began to change.
The look of "father" slowly appeared on his face.
But as a debt collector, he is not a father after all. All he can vouch for his "daughter" is an unseemly love in a cramped situation.
The few details below are good.
Before the guarantee will be picked up by the nightclub, Toushi takes the children to the department store (which he doesn't even frequent).
They look at a princess dress, they look at the price tag... Let's go.
He also wants to take his children to the concert, to see the ticket prices... Then play the role of, mix in and listen.
△ Even the cake he bought for the little girl was fake, made from a chocolate pie
This strange love is barely established in the ambiguity and contradiction of identity.
But it is precisely because of this reluctance that it has earned the tears of the audience.
Can't afford a full-priced princess dress?
Then also in the discount, pick the most lovely one.
Even if it is snatched away by others, the head stone will be secretly withdrawn.
The scene after the concert was even better.
Children want to buy some souvenirs, but they can buy cheap tapes without sea reports; buy expensive CDs, and there is no CD machine to listen to... The head stone was helpless and could only buy it together.
For a bastard who has been deducted from his salary for three months and his life is stretched thin, spending this kind of money is simply a crime.
Well, let's see how Cheng Dongri (Toushi) plays.
As soon as the price was quoted in the clerk's mouth, he immediately hesitated, seeing the money pulled out of his wallet and wanting to let it out.
But when the salesman said the phrase "what a good dad," he wavered again.
He actually took out the private money.
...... Still in the most undignified way.
A detail that at the same time brings out the entanglement of the, as well as the humanity of the father.
Secondly, in terms of human design.
Although the person is set to be a "villain", the head stone is at best a small bad, and only belongs to the character flaw.
Aside from his status as a debt collector, he has nothing to do with the real evil (nor does he have the ability or qualifications).
- We sergeants turned out not to be like this
- (Originally) so kind and gentle and very humane
So a lot of times, what he says isn't "professional" at all.
For example, when a mother cannot take the child, her first reaction is:
"Then don't I have to help you raise your children?!"
As a stranger, Toushi never considered sending or selling his child.
What about the little girl?
Hiding with her mother for a long time, at a young age, she already knew how to "judge the situation".
Crying, not blatant crying, will only hide and cry secretly.
Sometimes she also knows that crying is useless, and she knows how to obey in the face of the uncle who robbed her.
She would sell herself, such as helping the "bad guys" clean up their rooms.
But is this just selling?
Notice the action of turning off the TV – tidying up while watching TV – is more like doing housework at home than being forced to do.
She also unknowingly became a "family member".
When the guarantee escaped, carrying a large bag and trying to find her mother, she left a line on the small whiteboard:
Who is this written to?
Since it is looking for a mother, it is definitely not written to the mother.
It was something she vaguely felt, the one who would come to her.
The long-term life of the bottom makes the guarantee have maturity beyond age.
She had the intuition to tell who could be trusted, who could sell for benefits, and who had to flee.
With these meticulous emotional transformations.
The next tear rush, of course, has an audience base.
03
As Sir said earlier, the advantages of the film are obvious, but the disadvantages are equally obvious.
The first and most obvious is the forced sensationalism in the second half.
First, Toushi lost his memory in a car accident and disappeared for ten years, and was put in a nursing home.
(Really, is it necessary to catch a horse like this?) ）
And the "daughter" has been, has been, has been looking for.
(The point of sentimentality must be said three times)
Then, in order to (forcibly) point the question, bring out the names of the father and daughter who have each other:
The girl's original name was Chengli, and Toushi gave her a name guarantee.
And the girl gave the uncle a "guarantee".
Originally this was nothing, just funny.
But the daughter searched for the uncle for many years without success, and finally found it with the name "underwriting"!
Sir wondered why he could go missing for ten years on a licensed motorcycle... And the motorcycle clearly says "underwritten courier".
△ Pay attention to the small flag on the car
All right.
The bug of "looking for ten years" is already mind-boggling.
If you add the following set of "enhanced memory" sensationalism... Really, a little bit of contempt for the audience IQ.
Sensational points begin with a set of parallel montages.
When the father and daughter recognize at the end, a push mirror shows the loneliness and weakness of the old man's head stone.
Next, it's a boring moment to strengthen memory, and tear-jerking props are on the scene:
CD player (bought at the concert that year).
Leather shoes (bought to guarantee part-time work to earn money).
A passbook in a sock.
Despising the intelligence of the audience is actually the greatest disrespect.
The so-called deliberate, the so-called embarrassment... It's often because of this.
Of course, this contempt is not all the screenwriter's stupidity, but the greed for the market and the box office shakes the screenwriter's intuition.
Note that Sir is not talking about Korean movies. After all, the film is not made up out of thin air - the story is made up, and the soil of the story is real.
Discrimination at the bottom, women's concerns, vulnerable groups, loan sharking, and collective apathy...
At least it didn't create with its eyes closed.
Of course, the audience never hates warmth, they only hate temperament, a kind of plastic warmth.
This plastic-smelling warmth always comes from closed-eye creations that cannot reveal real social problems.
Unfortunately, this is precisely the more mistakes that our domestic film and television works have committed.
