The world is not fair, for some actresses -
You don't need that kind of acting anymore to have that kind of face, and you don't need that kind of face anymore if you have that kind of acting skills.
However......
There are people who have both, and Son Ye-jin is one.
She's a "Sun Immortal!!
That face, that temperament, is really amazing.
What's worse is that in her memory, she has almost no change over the years like she has eaten preservatives.
In the early Korean drama "Summer Scent", she was so clean and clear;
After many years of filming "Crash Landing on Love", her appearance as always made the audience become a "crazy demon staring at the goddess" in seconds.
Let's just say that on the day she and Hyun Bin got married, I don't know how many people fell out of love and cried miserably hahahaha.
However, Son Ye-jin is not as weak as her appearance, and she is notoriously ambitious in the circle.
The latest news shows that she does not want to return to family life after giving birth, and is expected to star in director Park Chan-wook's new film "Axe".
The male protagonist who partnered with her is South Korean actor Lee Byung-hun.
To tell the truth, if Son Ye-jin seizes the opportunity, he may break into the main competition unit of the European Film Festival, and he will have a chance to achieve the second round of the Korean Film Awards.
In fact, Son Ye-jin's strength has always been seriously underestimated.
The audience was too impressed by her tragic image of a little white flower.
forgot that she took the pure femme fatale in "White Night Walking" appropriately.
forgot that she was in "No Secrets", the mother she interpreted, in order to find the child, went from madness to despair.
forgot that in an extramarital affair movie, she staged a love lingering relationship with Bae Yongjun, the originator of the Korean Wave-
《Outing》
The first time I knew about this film, the director was shocked.
You must know that Son Ye-jin has several nude scenes in the film, and the film is rated as restricted in South Korea.
However, it was actually released in the mainland.
I have to say that the Korean Wave was booming at that time, and the combination of Son Ye-jin and Bae Yong-jun was very box office appealing among fans, so much so that they did not hesitate to delete the scenes and introduce them.
On the other hand, it also confirms the strength of director Xu Qinhao.
You may not know his name, but you must have heard/seen his films.
The first film he directed independently was "August Photo Studio", which won the International Film Critics Association Award at the 3rd Busan International Film Festival in one fell swoop, and the next "Death of Spring" made him a god for the second time.
He led the trend of beauty and sadness in the Korean film and television industry, affectionate and moving, which made people unable to regain their calm after watching it for a long time.
Take this film as an example, the story line is simple, and the setting is bloody and even has some clichés.
Lighting director In-su was in the middle of a musical when he suddenly received a call from Gangwon-do Hospital informing him that his wife had been in a serious car accident.
In-su immediately panicked and braved the heavy snow to drive from Seoul to Gangwon-do.
After he arrived at the hospital, outside the operating room, he met another anxiously waiting woman, Shu Ying.
Shu Ying was waiting for her husband, who was also in a car accident.
What's going on?
Renshu's wife came out of the operating room, not to mention stating the ins and outs of the accident, and the person was still in a deep coma and was not out of danger.
After receiving a call from the police station, Renshu went to find out the situation.
As a result, he saw Shu Ying again at the scene.
According to the police, before the car accident that night, Shu Ying's husband was carrying Renshu's wife, and after the car crashed, the driver of the other party's vehicle died on the spot.
Since one of the two was in a coma and the other was still being resuscitated, no one knew what exactly happened at that time.
With the unknown, the progress bar continues to walk little by little.
The film is like the director's previous style, the picture composition is beautiful, the background music is soothing, the story rhythm is slow, and the overall appearance is clean and refreshing.
However, there is a lot of stamina, and you need to savor it ~~~
Borrowing the "blank" in our primary school Chinese class, there are a lot of question marks in the film, which need to be understood by the audience themselves.
For example, why Shu Ying's husband and Renshu's wife were in the same car.
The two people sitting in the hospital waiting, their minds were also full of questions, but the consciousness of adults made them realize something.
One detail is that Renshu called his wife's company and deliberately pretended not to know about the car accident and asked about his death.
The company replied that Renshu's wife went on vacation.
After Renshu heard this, he was silent, and the next second the camera switched to him sitting on the edge of the hospital bed, quietly looking at his wife.
Shu Ying, on the other side, took her husband's belongings from the police station, and when she went back, she found an unfamiliar camera.
So, she took a deep breath and turned on the camera.
Judging from her subconscious evasive movements, she seemed to have foreseen what the content would be.
At this moment, the fact that the two people lying on the hospital bed were cheating officially surfaced.
Many people think that after the male and female protagonists learned that their other half was cheating, they crossed the red line, which is an impulsive act of revenge.
The director disagrees with this, and thinks the director's handling is wonderful!
Quoting a Douban netizen's writing——
There are so many reasons to tie people together, and love is only one of thousands of reasons.
Yes, Renshu and Shu Ying can come together, mixed with too many things.
They were both isolated and helpless from the same injuries, and at this time, they glanced at the people around them and found that they were tired and could rely on each other.
For example, they went to the funeral of the owner of the car that caused the accident together, and summoned up the courage to comfort the family of the deceased.
The other party was emotional and acted aggressively, and Shu Ying was protected by Renshu.
Another example is the two in the hospital, whose future physical condition is still unclear.
Is it rehabilitation?
Or is it a vegetative state?
In between, as responsible and moral partners, they can only be cared for and accompanied day after day in the hospital.
In the middle of the days and nights, who doesn't have an emotional breakdown.
She's tired, and he comforts you.
He was tired, and she accompanied him to eat and drink.
Back and forth, they became the only way for each other to vent their emotions, and in the predicament, the two hearts got closer and closer.
From breaking through the inner defense to breaking through the physical intimacy.
For such a delicate emotional interpretation, Bae Yongjun has a peerless beauty, and he has a melancholy atmosphere just by standing, he is indeed slightly inferior to Son Ye-jin.
Son Ye-jin looked at her husband in the hospital room, full of confusion and helplessness.
Especially when her husband died, the emotions she had endured during this period of time accumulated to the peak and poured out in an instant.
You can feel her patience and contradictions in the past.
Seeing her crying, you feel pain in your heart, and you are happy for her, she can finally cry happily.
The ending of the story draws a perfect sentence for the setting of dog blood -
In-su returns to Seoul with his well-recovered wife, who chooses to divorce;
Shu Ying resumed her life alone.
They were in two places, and they all smiled when they saw the snowflakes fluttering in the sky in April.
This laughter is a joke about the impermanence of fate, but also an expectation of a better life, they are waiting for the day when love returns......
