The Korean film "Busan Trip", released in 2016, was a global hit, and even now the audience is talking about it.
"Busan Trip" is a zombie film that tells the story of a single father, Seok Woo, and his daughter Xiu'an on a KTX high-speed train to Busan, where the zombie virus brought by a young girl on the train begins to rage and spread, and the train falls into disaster in an instant.
The film grossed 93.1 billion won in South Korea and is currently the runner-up in the Korean film box office.
Once the film was released, it was widely acclaimed, and many viewers commented that the film was no less than a Hollywood zombie blockbuster, and it was very enjoyable to watch.
"Busan Trip" not only made the audience feel the visual shock, but also touched the heart. The film shows the good and evil of human nature in the way of zombie disasters, and in the face of disasters, some people are selfless, but there are also people who only consider themselves and do not care about the safety of others, and even directly exchange the lives of others for their own lives.
At the beginning of this year, also in January, there was a domestic network movie "Crazy Rat Train" broadcast on the online platform, and the most evaluation given by the audience after watching this film was "China's version of "Busan Trip"" .
Compared with China's "Crazy Rat Train" and South Korea's "Busan Trip", from the main line to various details are very similar, it feels like changing actors, and everything else is copied.
"Crazy Rat Train" is directed by Lin Zhenzhao, starring Yin Zhaode and Xia Yiyao.
The film is set during the Republic of China, and tells the story of Su Zhenghuai and his family boarding a train to visit their relatives. Not long after, a large number of rats poured into the carriage, and the passengers fled in panic, and the crowd in the train fell into a rat plague. When the disaster comes, the protagonist's protagonist aura is officially opened, and the male protagonist of the film, Su Zhenghuai, and others overcome many difficulties to save people from the plague of rats.
Just looking at this kind of story line, this "Crazy Rat Train" is roughly the same as "Busan Trip".
In "Busan Trip", the protagonists are a pair of father and daughter Shi Yu and Xiu An; in "Crazy Rat Train", the protagonists are also a pair of father and daughter Su Zhenghuai and Su Ting, here he sets a son Su Yuesheng for the male protagonist, and a second daughter Su Ling. This may be to avoid copying "Busan Trip" completely.
In addition to the main characters, there are many similarities between the other characters in the two films.
In Busan Row, there is a very annoying selfish character Kim Chang-woo, who is selfish and does not end up well; in "Crazy Rat Train", there is also a selfish negative character commander.
This commander is also a very repulsive character, repeatedly sacrificing others for his own sake. In the end, he did not get a good reward and was bitten to death by a rat.
The picture above is similar to the commander of Jin Changwu, so that the two of them really look a bit alike.
In "Busan Trip", there is a very righteous tough guy character Shang Hua played by Ma Dongxi; in "Crazy Rat Train", there is also a similar role du Dashan.
Du Dashan is also a very righteous person, at the beginning of the film, he is uneven for the father and heroine, after the rat plague is also for others to consider, and finally sacrificed himself for everyone.
In "Busan Trip", the villain Kim Chang-woo isolates some groups from the safe carriage, and then an old woman is desperate, stands up and opens the carriage door, and then a large number of zombies rush in; in "Crazy Rat Train", there is also such an old woman, she is also desperate, opens the carriage door, and a large group of mutant rats pour in.
The male protagonist in the film escapes from death again and again, but again and again encounters new problems. In "Busan Trip", the male protagonist was unfortunately bitten by a zombie, and in order to protect his daughter, he jumped out of the car and died; in "Crazy Rat Train", the male protagonist also let himself be engulfed by the rat swarm in order to save his daughter.
The daughters on both sides have lost their fathers, and the same crying is tearing their hearts and lungs.
A lot of the character settings and what these characters do, "Crazy Rat Train" is the same as "Busan Trip". It can be guessed that the director of "Crazy Rat Train" is shooting according to "Busan Line", without making too many changes, as long as the zombies are replaced by rats.
In contrast, the details of the two films are similar in many ways, but the quality is not at all on the same level. "Busan Trip" is a good work, it explores the human nature more thought-provoking, and the visual effects it brings are more shocking. And "Crazy Rat Train" is a bad movie.
