I don't see much Korean movies, but I know it's a country that produces artificial beauty. If the opposite sex around you suddenly becomes beautiful, some people will joke: it must be a plastic surgery in South Korea. After watching "Welcome to Dongmo Village" by chance, I learned that South Korea can not only make beautiful women, but also "make" excellent movies. I believe it's a good work. Sure enough, I checked the Internet, and the film won the Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film in 2005. After watching it, it confirmed one point: the excellent oriental film works that express beautiful humanity can also be recognized by international film festivals.
Although the film "Huan" is a war theme, it dilutes the lens of the war scene and uses more lens to show the beauty of human nature. When I saw the poignant picture of the ending and listened to the touching hum of the ending song, I did not shed tears, but I could feel the sound of tears ticking on the soul. The throat was sweet and silky, and there was a smell of blood. I was really moved because of this film.
After the outbreak of the Korean War, the peninsula was filled with gun smoke and bloodshed, killing and hatred. However, there is such a village, Dongmo Village, which is similar to the legendary Taohuayuan and is a pure land far away from war. There are birds and flowers everywhere, and the villagers are simple and thick, and they don't know what gunshots are. They live in harmony, be kind to others, and live simply and happily, "but they do not know whether there is a Han, no matter Wei or Jin."
Six soldiers broke into this remote mountain village. The UN pilot, Captain Smith, was rescued by the villagers when he was injured, and the hospitable Dongmo villagers took good care of him. Three North Korean soldiers led by commander Lee So-hwa then came, and after encountering the ROK troops Park Hyun-chul and Moon Sang-sang, they were fiercely sword-fighting, and neither of them would lay down their weapons. The villagers were not interested in their confrontation, they were more concerned with the crops in the field and dealing with the wild boar that was spoiling the grain. The appearance of the silly girl Yuyi ended the tedious stalemate. The soldiers laid down their weapons, took off their uniforms, changed into national costumes and lived and worked with the villagers. The ice began to melt, the estrangement gradually disappeared, and North Korean veterans Jang Young-hee and Moon Sang-sang even became brothers.
However, such a harmonious and beautiful Dongmo village has become the target of air raids by the United Nations army. In order to defend Dongmo Village, the soldiers joined hands and forged a North Korean air defense base far away from the village. In the face of the bombing of UN warplanes, they rose up and defended dongmo village with their lives. Wen Shangxiang, who was greedy for life and afraid of death, and Zhang Rongxi, who was timid and cowardly, both became heroes. Lieutenant Park Hyun-chul is finally freed from the shadow of the soul created by the war, and he can face death with a smile.
The humanity of the six soldiers was sublimated, and the falling shells became fireworks to send them off. A heavy snow covered the battlefield and buried their remains.
The final shot of the film is set back in the plot. A butterfly flew through the woods to dong mo village and into the house of the sleeping soldier. It turned out that the silly girl Yuyi had inserted the sideburns of Jindalai flowers next to the ear of the little soldier Xu Zeji. Accompanied by the moving song of Hisaishi Jean, the audience's feelings are pushed to the climax.
Although the film lasts for more than two hours, the audience does not feel boring, which stems from the artistic charm of the work. Appropriate addition of humor elements can eliminate the audience's viewing fatigue.
Footage in the film:
When the roks and the dprk first met, they confronted each other for too long in the courtyard, and when they encountered torrential rain, one individual was sleepy and sleepy, but he did not dare to close his eyes. Yu Yi came and wiped the beads of water from the face of Xu Zeji, a young man from Huaichun, mistakenly thinking that the ring had suddenly pulled off the pull ring on the grenade, startling everyone to lie on the ground. When I mistakenly thought it was a stink bomb, it blew up the granary of the whole village, and the popcorn fell from the sky, which was very surprising.
When the wild boar breaks in, accompanied by tense music, the slow-motion camera shows the exaggerated and distorted expressions of the characters to make people laugh.
At night, when Wen Shangxiang shows his singing voice, the picture moves into the red and green nightclub, where people enjoy fine wine and music, expressing the ordinary people's yearning for a peaceful life.
I think that the humorous elements in Korean movies may stem from this nation that is as troubled as we are, who have experienced countless wars and invasions in history, and people use laughter and ridicule to soothe the trauma of the soul and face the bleak life.
This kind of artistic treatment makes the serious war theme no longer solemn, but also enhances the ornamentation and appeal of the work, so that the audience can shed tears in a smile.
Everyone is welcome to watch the movie and leave a comment.
