Repeatedly on the hot search, hot all over the network.
Touting and scolding coexisted, and this time NetFlix + South Korea's "Squid Game" has properly become a hit.
As soon as it was launched, It was Douban 8.7, but fortunately, recently everyone's mood has gradually calmed down, and the collective efforts of many intellectual users have gradually returned to normal.
Ratings dropped slightly
Subsequently, everyone fell into an endless quarrel over the play.
Those who praise humanity, those who reveal political metaphors, those who curse the virgin, all of them.
Of course, this is a good thing on some levels, indicating that everyone looks into it and understands PK and discussion.
However, for those who are irrational and come up to spray, it is still forgotten.
Why is that?
First of all, "survival game + battle royale" is not a fresh theme, "Battle Royale", "Hunger Games", "Deception Game", "Gambling Apocalypse", "Alice in the Land of The Dead", "As God Said", "Hunting" and other works have long existed, once seen, and then face this subject will naturally compare.
2020's "Alice in the Land of the Dead" has brought a wave of topics
It's just that in the era of new media, everyone chases hot spots, and suddenly comes a bloody, exciting, explosive point and the blessing of the "golden father" behind it, which cannot be let go.
Therefore, this kind of innovation and heat seeking has given the show more exposure, and it is easy for the masses in the unknown to be amway, and then feel that it is not bad, and casually throw five stars.
However, the more you see it, that's the way it is.
Frankly, even if you watch Mr. Bean's "Outlaw Treasure Hunt" 20 years ago (which has a similar reward setting to "Squid Game"), I personally feel more fun than "Squid Game", although the style and appeal points of the two are completely different.
For the $2 million "Outlaws"
Secondly, compared with the same type of genre works, it naturally has its own brand and characteristics of South Korea, that is, the often discussed "human nature", "social disclosure", "dark metaphor", etc., if you add the extra points of male stars such as Lee Jung-jae, Park Hae-so, Kong You, Wei Huajun, etc., it naturally makes friends who like Korean dramas more enthusiastic.
Known as the "most double standard in history", the male protagonist / dog head saves his life
Finally, as social pressures increase, people need more powerful stimuli and sensory entertainment. So-called: severe illness with strong drugs.
The short video era has also made our pleasure threshold faster, rougher, or "cheaper", so the same type of works will emerge in an endless stream:
1. With the lessons of the past, such works will definitely explode;
2. The viewing threshold is low and the background setting is simple;
3, the stimulation point is intuitive and strong enough, creating a contradiction point will be very concentrated, it is easier to dig out the profundity and flashpoint;
4, there are too many available materials... Today's "123 wooden people", tomorrow can come to a "rat stealing oil".
Therefore, we will not talk about the current hottest Korean drama "Squid Game" today, but talk about what is really interesting - also in South Korea, 10 years ago, there was also Kong You starred in the "Melting Pot".
The content was written in 2015 with minor modifications.
The reason for laziness is: watching Apple's new drama "Base" to see the internal injuries, a typical work of good IP + bad adaptation.
"
The text begins:
According to a report released by the China Social Assistance Foundation, the average number of sexual abuses of children in China in recent years has been 1.38 per day. (Old data from 2014)
The numbers, through the screen, look slightly pale, but the magnitude is shocking.
Although in the past, whenever the bearded man saw similar news, he always expressed a certain indignation.
However, there is still a certain distance between this indignation and reality.
But once you have been promoted to father, and then see similar news, you are eager to remove the perpetrator's cramps. This kind of violent, angry emotion may be able to hold itself out of internal wounds after "The Melting Pot".
Every time in the public toilet, I am most afraid to look up...
First of all, to tell the truth, after watching "The Melting Pot", the beard was really relieved for 2 days, and the mood gradually cleared, I hope that everyone will not enjoy this film with this sense of curiosity, its depression is not suitable for everyone. I also hope that everyone can experience this film well, because he can save one or N souls.
Let's go back to the film.
<h1 class="pgc-h-decimal" data-index="01" data-track="63" > two names, one meaning</h1>
The Film's English name, Silenced, Chinese as a furnace.
Either way, the name is extremely metaphorical and perfectly interprets the film.
Silenced, we can think of ourselves as a passive voice, as a past tense, or even as an adjective. Silence, the channel of voice being silenced, has passed, yet it is still happening in some corners of the world. Shouting silently, how do we maintain the basic principle of why people are human?
Furnace, extremely high temperature, melts everything.
If you dare to jump in, you may be melted down and become one of them. Just like Lu Xun's portrayal of bone-eating numbness and dehumanized grief.
In the face of such a furnace, who can not be melted, and who can break the silence and shout?
On the other hand, the furnace is also like a process of tempering.
As the film says, "We fight all the way not to change the world, but to keep the world from changing us." ”
But how many people can do it?
<h1 class="pgc-h-decimal" data-index="02" data-track="157" > rare masterpiece</h1>
I remember when I was in school, bearded beards liked Hardy, and from his works, the sense of collapse, powerlessness and strong fatalistic tragedy of capitalism in the disintegration of the traditional rural economy was vividly expressed.
This directly contributed to my extreme preference for realism.
"The Melting Pot" is precisely a social tragedy, which is naturally consistent with the reality of China - human nature is distorted, officials and officials protect each other, not that we can't see the sun, but the shadow is too strong.
We can only be "silenced".
The bloody portrayal of reality is so oppressive that you can't breathe, and you may need to eat ice cream for 3 days to transform your emotions.
The film does not focus on the process of children's abuse, after all, the process of infringement has not yet reached 200% of the value of transforming reality, so the road of litigation and late fermentation have a greater impact on the ideas of today's society. The police who should have practiced the law became the umbrella of a terrible school, the prosecutors who should have been loyal to the law became puppets driven by temptation, at least a little conscience lawyer defended the devil without any worries, and it seemed that the whole world was abandoning this group of outcasts, not to mention a crowd of unknown people cheering for their master.
In this regard, I am afraid that you and I in front of the screen will start to curse.
However, does swearing help? It's not a matter for you and me alone, but it's closely related to you and me.
<h1 class="pgc-h-decimal" data-index="03" data-track="158" > thought-provoking</h1>
Deep reflection also needs to be layered.
First, this is probably the reality in which we live.
What to do?
We can choose to melt ourselves, or we can choose to maintain our pure spirit after melting. Although you are often told that if life rapes you and you are powerless to resist, learn to enjoy. In fact, it is nothing more than learning to adapt when you can't change the world.
But what exactly do we have to adapt to in this world?
Just as we see children's eyes, black, shiny, full of anticipation and curiosity about the world, but as we get older, it's hard to see that innocence in the eyes of adults.
Whether we do more or less, we are salted fish polluted by the world, because it is important for us to be able to survive less difficult.
However, we must retain the basic adherence to conscience, which is the duty of man to be human.
Second, South Korea is already a "developed country" relative to us. In the seemingly democratic social form, such things still happen. This is probably exactly the same as the "Dictator" movie written before, and even the Seemingly Democratic and Advanced Republic of Korea still has so many problems – loopholes in the law, lack of credibility of the government and inaction in enforcing the judiciary, and the people are still hurt.
Third, we really have to dig deep, and there are too many themes that can torture people's hearts and point directly to the soul.
So what?
On the one hand, there is no need to shoot, it is not good to shoot.
On the other hand, how is it possible to shoot it?
What reality plays out is true, and we can all forget it very quickly, let alone just a movie. Think about the things we have outraged online before, have you not heard the following for a long time?
<h1 class="pgc-h-decimal" data-index="04" data-track="159" > wonderful rendition</h1>
Teacher Jiang Renhao, played by Kong You, is truly a responsible person.
In terms of reality, there are old and young, which is the most stressful time in life, but he has not given up his conscience for the sake of reality, but has been silently fighting, not being a silent majority, although he is not as idealistic as the rights protection girl played by Zheng Youmei.
Jiang Renhao
But he has been practicing his beliefs with actions.
As for Kim Hyun-so, Jeong In-so, Baek Seung-hwan, these three children, the bearded one thinks it is great, absolutely beyond the director's expectations, after all, they play a disabled child, not only to meet the needs of the role, but also need to convey the psychology through a large number of micro-expressions, which is painful.
Warm moments
"The Melting Pot" is really not suitable for a second time.
Such works are too "painful" and do not need to be revisited, so let us pay more attention to this real society.
Truly understand the word "alive" in "Alive"...
And don't forget to guard our own conscience and nature.
END
Walnut movies
A kicked dog who loves movies. Big beard, name: big beard. Unfortunately, the beard movie has been annotated, and can only be called a walnut movie in another way, which means: the bearded "Tao" movie.
