Today, Cobain introduces you to a Korean movie that is extremely depressing after watching it - "The Green-headed Fly".
Newcomer director Liang Yijun, based on the absurd years he has experienced and the lives of the lowest people in South Korea as a blueprint, wrote and directed his own performance of "The Green Head Fly", which was released in 2009 and is the most shocking work in the Korean independent film industry in 2009.
The fly is a very annoying insect, long-term harassment to people, and the "green head fly" specializes in laying eggs on the corpse, more disgusting, more annoying, there is a saying in China that "as uncomfortable and disgusting as eating the green head fly", and Liang Yizhun in the film is as annoying as the real "green head fly", but he represents the pain and struggle of the lowest people's lives.
Actress Jin Huayu also received a nomination for the 4th Asian Film Award for Best Supporting Actress for "The Green Head Fly".
Well, gossip is not much to say, we enter the movie, in addition to this article full spoiler, mind the small partner to stop here, want to see the full movie can pay attention to Cobain's V public name "Coburn said the movie" reply "green head fly" can be obtained.
At the beginning of the film, a man is beating a woman in the street, and although there are people around, no one goes up to help.
At this time, our male protagonist Kim Sang-hoon (Played by Leung Yi-joon) appears and beats up the man.
If you think he is a hero to save the United States, then you are very wrong, after beating the man, Xiang Xun went up and gave the woman a few slaps.
It turned out that Xiang Xun was a small gang leader who specialized in loan sharking and fighting on the streets every day, and he was here to manage this woman's debt, and saw that women were beaten by other men, of course, no, because in Xiang Xun's eyes, there is no distinction between men and women, and the reason why he beat that man is because in his eyes the only person who owes me money can fight, others, no!
Xiang Xun's daily job is to lead his younger brothers around to ask for debts, help people to do things, and it is common to fight and fight with dirty words on weekdays, and all of this has a lot to do with his living environment.
When XiangXun was very young, the family was violently beaten by his father for a long time, once when his mother was beaten by his father, his sister was accidentally stabbed by his father and died directly, and his mother was also killed by a car because he was in a hurry, so Xiangxun's father went to prison, and no one remembers how many years he stayed in prison.
A month ago, his father returned home from prison, and the anger that XiangXun had accumulated for many years finally broke out, and every day when he came home, he would beat his father severely, and even his own hands were beaten and bleeding.
Sang-hoon also has a half-sister who has a son, Hyung-in, who is Also-hoon's nephew, who is very fond of this nephew, but always looks fierce on the surface.
On this day, Xiang Xun walked on the road and spit a mouthful of phlegm, but unexpectedly spit on the chest of the oncoming female high school student Han Yanxi, Xiang Xun did not care about these, directly wiped the phlegm on Yan Xi's chest with his hand, and was slapped by Yan Xi.
Xiang Xun was not polite, and directly punched Yeon Hee unconscious.
When Yeon-hee woke up, Sang-hoon was crouching not far away looking at her.
Judging from the fact that Yeon Hee dared to slap Sang Hoon, Yeon Hee is not an ordinary female high school student, and like Sang Hoon, there is no distinction between big and small, full of dirty words, and Yeon Hee also took the opportunity to "blackmail" Sang Hoon, asking Sang Hoon to give him medical expenses, and left a paging of Sang Hoon, threatening to warn him of harm if he did not call back.
The reason why Yanxi has become like this is also very much related to the family, Yanxi's father once participated in the Vietnam War, and later left a mental sequelae, and a younger brother, unwilling to go to school, every day everywhere to make trouble, the two men did not take on the responsibility of supporting the family, but often punched and kicked Yanxi.
On this day, Yeon-hee called Sang-hoon, and Sang-hoon also came out to meet, but because the conversation between the two was too ostentatious, it attracted the police patrol nearby, and before the police could ask, Sang-hoon went up and threw the two policemen to the ground and then fled.
Since then, people from both families who are very unfortunate have intersected.
And Sang-hoon often comes out with his nephew, the three of them go shopping, eating, and playing together, but no matter from what angle, it is very awkward, Yeon-hee and Hyun-in are like brothers and sisters, Sang-hoon and Hyun-in are like father and son, and Yeon-hee and Sang-hoon are not like lovers at all.
Hyung-in, who has been playing for a day, has already gone to bed, and when her sister comes home, Yeon-hee directly says that she is Sang-hoon's girlfriend, which makes her sister very happy, leaving Yeon-hee to come down to eat.
Then the two ran to the supper stall to drink, and they didn't expect to talk very speculatively.
On the other hand, Yanxi's younger brother Yingzai stole the family's money to take it to Xiaoxiao, and when he had no money to use, he went home to find his sister to ask for it, but where did Yanxi have money for him, after beating his sister, Yingzai went out to find his classmates.
And Yingzai's classmate is Xiangxun's newly adopted younger brother, who took Yingzai to see Xiangxun, and because Yingzai is more capable of fighting, he was also taken under Xiangxun's command, and the three began their debt collection journey.
Probably because of the long contact with Yeon-hee, Sang-hoon, who has always been violent and indifferent, seems to have some human touch, went to his sister's shop to buy a mobile phone to contact Yeon-hee, and after buying a mobile phone, he even had a meal with his sister.
At dinner, Xiang Xun gave money to his sister, and the sister said that she would give the money to her father, which made Xiang Xun unacceptable and angry again.
After eating, Xiang Xun regained his violent nature, hit the passers-by on the road, and beat up his father when he returned home.
When collecting the debt, because he did not receive money, Xiangxun was very angry, and when he beat the debtor, he also asked Yingzai to get the hammer, but Yingzai was completely frightened by Xiangxun's appearance, which made Xiangxun very dissatisfied and beat his two younger brothers.
Because Young-jae was beaten by Sang-hoon, he did not give his sister a good face when he returned home, and his father also fell ill and wanted to kill Yeon-hee with a knife.
Almost everyone is trying to persuade Sang-hoon to be nice to his father, which makes Sang-hoon very angry, and after drinking, he has been clamoring to kill his father, but when he returns home, he sees that his father has cut his pulse and committed suicide.
Xiang Xun cried and carried his father to the hospital, where Heon cried and cried to the doctor and told him to draw his blood to save his father.
On the other side, a distressed Yeon-hee is sitting outside the house, when Sang-hoon calls to ask him to meet, so the two sad people get together again and drink and chat.
And Xiang Xun cried, pillow on Yeon Hee's lap and cried, and Yeon Hee also cried, they have a common encounter, with the repression of the people at the bottom of this society.
Maybe it was because he had enough of the life of dancing on the tip of the knife every day, or maybe he met Yeon Hee, or maybe he eased the relationship with his family, and Sang Hoon was ready to quit the gang, so he told the boss that today is the last day, and after today I will not do it.
The boss and Sang-hoon have been friends for many years, saying that we should all quit and open a barbecue shop.
But in all the stories, it's a law, and something will happen the last time.
Xiang Xun took Ying Zai to ask for a debt and came to a family, the boy of this family is also called Xiang Xun, and also has a younger sister, perhaps thinking of the direct childhood, or Xiang Xun really decided to take it, but the other party said that after no money, he actually let go of the family.
However, Ying zai was beaten by Xiang Xun because he did not act hard before, this time, he did not let go of the debtor, went up to beat him violently, Xiang Xun could not hold back, and after Ying Zai stopped, Xiang Xun was instead smashed by the debtor from behind with a stone on the head, and Ying Zai rushed up again to beat the debtor.
Then out, Xiang Xun walked in front and asked Ying Zai if there was no toilet paper, but Ying Zai took out a hammer directly from his bag, smashed Xiang Xun to death, and shouted while smashing: "You didn't say you don't want turtle hair, so what do you retreat!" ”
This is Yingzai's revenge!
Meanwhile, her sister, Yeon-hee, and the boss are still waiting for Sang-hoon to see Hyung-in's performance, but Sang-hoon is dead and can't come again.
Sang-hoon dies, but the lives of others slowly improve, Seung-hoon's death gives them a new way of living their lives, the sister lives with her son and father, Yeon-hee often interacts with them, and Sang-hoon's boss really quits the underworld and opens a barbecue restaurant.
"The Green-headed Fly" has a rating of 8.1 points on Douban, and the title, this is definitely not a comfortable movie to watch, it may be a little boring, but it is very suitable for a person to watch quietly, after you watch it, you may not think about anything, just want to sit quietly for a while.
Some people say that this should be the film that appears the most "Sheba" in the history of Korean cinema, which is true, but this is also the most real embodiment of the bottom people in South Korea, the real violent film, never beautified, just simply as violence, and the whole film is illustrating a reality, the misfortune of the families of the people at the bottom is the cause of the violence.
Liang Yizhun's acting skills in the film are obvious to all, maybe this also has a lot to do with his own experience, the so-called real good actor that must be acting like what, by no means because of the appearance, Liang Yizhun in the film showed a prickly and underwhelming expression, let people see, yes, this is the typical rogue, and at the end of the film, when Xiangxun is ready to quit, Cobain seems to see a ray of sunshine from his body.
Like Coburn's friends quickly like to pay attention to it, I heard that the small partners who pay attention to Coburn are getting richer and richer!
