Before, I only knew that Koreans loved their country very much, and after watching this movie, I knew that Koreans also loved It, and canada, the maple leaf country.
Taiwanese translation into "Memories"
Or our translation of "Tomorrow's Memory" is more of a topic
This is a suspense film full of reversals, how to introduce this movie to everyone, I thought for a long time.
Although there are many themes for the director, Koreans have always liked to stuff suspense films with various thought-provoking themes, but the maple leaf country elements are too eye-catching, let's start here.
The heroine at the beginning of the film wakes up amnesiacally.
When the heroine was taken home by her husband, her husband said that they were going to immigrate to the Maple Leaf Country, and a lake painting of the Maple Leaf Country was hung on the wall.
Ten-year-old suspense fans responsibly say that suspense films that usually start in this way are warnings, and generally the relationship between two people will not be like the director showed us. If the husband behaves well, maybe he used to be abusive, but bully you have lost his memory; if the husband behaves badly, maybe he has a terminal illness and wants to push you away.
(Here's an introduction to the actor Kim Kang-woo who plays her husband, who once starred in what I think is the best Korean suspense TV series at present: "Special Missing Task Force M: Missing Black", unfortunately, this drama has not seen a sequel, and it is a pity that Kim Kang-woo of the acting school has not encountered a good script since then, a sigh. ）
In the movie "Tomorrow's Memory", the husband played by Kim Kang-woo is too good. Careful and considerate, gentle and affectionate, but also to take the heroine played by Xu Ruizhi to immigrate to the Maple Leaf Country.
Maybe Xu Ruizhi also felt that this was not normal. He is an orphan, and his husband is still so good to himself. The two men married without confessing. So began all kinds of rampage.
As soon as she stepped into the elevator, she would meet strangers.
The first time, met a little girl. As soon as I touched her, I immediately had a premonition that the little girl might be hit by a car. Then ran out, saw that her premonition was about to come true, flew to the middle of the road, and fortunately her husband appeared in time to save her.
The second time, in the elevator, I met a female high school student, and as soon as I touched her, I had a premonition that she would be beaten by a person with a scar on her chin, and then she followed her and saw that the person with the scar on her chin was the father of the girls' middle school.
The third time, in the elevator, she met the father of the middle school girl, had a premonition that he would die, and she didn't want anything to scare her.
The fourth time, in the elevator, she met a person who looked completely different from her husband, but suspected her husband. He also followed this person home and saw his wedding photos with this person. So what the hell is her wedding photos at home?
So, will the elevator be psychic or will she be psychic?
I thought left and right, if she wasn't crossing, she must be going to the Maple Leaf Country and going crazy. Because her husband said that she wanted to go to Maple Leaf Country, so her husband was busy with her, and the embassy went many times.
Of course, there is also a possibility that she is not a premonition, but something that has happened before, flashing in her mind, just like the flashing memories of Zheng Ba Rin after his amnesia in "Snooping". And the people Xu Ruizhi saw in the elevator were all her own memories, because her brain was broken, she couldn't tell the difference between memory and reality. The doctor explained it this way.
Of course, there is also a very obvious evidence, that is, she saved the little girl on the road, but the little girl did not even look at her, and left, next to such a big truck, a small child did not panic at all? Unless the character itself did not exist at the time.
Of course, Xu Ruizhi was not as smart as me, and she insisted that she was premonitioning, rather than believing that it was a memory like me, so she continued to run wild, tracking her husband in the middle of the night, and found that he seemed to have killed someone dragging a corpse to destroy the body. So she immediately went to the police station to call the police, so the police followed her to the room where she witnessed the murder, and it turned out to be an empty house.
Just when she was very suspicious of her husband, her husband was interviewing the Embassy of the Maple Leaf Country, and in order to get to the Maple Leaf Country as soon as possible, he also advanced the departure ticket.
Just when Xu Ruizhi's husband Jin Kangyu was working hard for the two of them to go to the Maple Leaf Country, Xu Ruizhi met his former colleague who used to teach painting on the street and learned that his husband had abused himself.
Look, yes or no, the director's routine really didn't surprise me. There must be a reason why men are so good to a woman with a broken brain for no reason. If it is just a simple and truly loving couple, this is not called a suspense film.
This is the first reversal, and the good old lady is going to collapse.
(Here's another introduction to this female colleague, don't underestimate her appearance for a few minutes.) South Korea's golden supporting actor Kang Lan played, this year also won the best supporting actress of Baixiang, that drama is also strongly promoted, called "Surprising Rumors")
So one day, she stalked her husband in the middle of the night and found that he was killing people again, and between the two arguing, the police came. This policeman didn't know why he believed Xu Ruizhi, who was full of hallucinations, and smashed the wall, and the result was that there was really a person inside!
As a result, after his husband entered the police station, he quickly admitted to killing people, and he pretended to be Xu Ruizhi's husband, and he was actually the brother of the family she was adopted together.
This is the second reversal. The husband is not the husband, it turned out to be the brother, and he killed people.
However, chong this began to take full care of Xu Ruizhi, and found that after quickly confessing guilt, telling Xu Ruizhi not to think wildly, it was obvious that this was the opposite of Xu Ruizhi who had a bad brain. I guess this result is not the real result, there is a reversal, after all, they are not going to the Maple Leaf Country, why is it so persistent about the Maple Leaf Country, this is not the style of the Koreans, this is a Korean who resolutely does not buy Japanese goods.
Sure enough, when Xu Ruizhi went to her real home, her real husband also appeared and wanted to kill her.
The original director really reversed here!
It turns out that the story is like this, or it has to start from a child.
(The interlude is here again.) The actor who played Jin Kangyu when he was a child is the actor who plays the little ba Rin in "Snooping", a powerful child star, who has been nominated for a hundred thoughts and looks forward to knowing. So the supporting cast of this movie is absolutely strong! ）
When she was a child, she had a good friend, Kim Kang-woo.
One day when she came home, Kim Kang-woo came to her house to play.
Her mother, under the director's arrangement, opened the stove to stir-fry, and there was an explosion and died. So she and Kim Kang-woo were both adopted by a man. As a result, when this man had an animal heart and tried to invade her, he sold her to accompany the wine, and When King Kong smashed the man to death in a rage, asking Xu Ruizhi to pretend not to go home and go to play with her later husband. Then Kim Kang-woo himself put the body in a suitcase and disposed of it.
This little girl is the person xu rui saw when she first thought she had a premonition, but in fact, she was a shadow of her own childhood, and she was just gradually recovering her memory without knowing it.
This also explains why Xu Ruizhi thinks that seeing her husband dragging her suitcase in the middle of the night is killing people, because her brother Jin Kangyu did kill her adoptive father for her and threw away the body.
Xu Ruizhi made a wish at that time, hoping to go to the lakeside cottage in maple leaf country with his brother in the future. He also wrote a card to his brother.
Why Maple Leaf Country? I have never understood this question, and the only thing that can convince me is that Maple Leaf Country also has private investments.
Later, Xu Ruizhi grew up and married a small partner, that is, after her brother killed her adoptive father at that time, he asked her to find a small partner who was not present. This little friend is her husband who is abusing her. This little friend has also had a successful career before and still loves him very much. However, after the failure of the career, people are more irritable, and often suspect that their wives have a leg with their brothers, so they abuse her.
At this time, Xu Ruizhi often went hiking with her brother, and when she was idle, she took out the card she had given to her brother before and said that she wanted to divorce her husband and go to maple leaf country. The problem is that the card says that he is going to maple leaf country with his brother. This hint should not be too obvious.
Xu Rui knew that although her husband had never killed anyone for her, he always felt in his heart that he loved his wife more than his wife and brother loved his wife. Although this is a bit like a tongue twister, it can be seen that the brother has indeed caused trouble between the two people.
But we have to understand the brother, he can kill the adoptive father for his sister, what is this feeling? That's love!
He can also let his sister go to other boys to play with for the first time, what is this feeling? It's also love!
Love is giving, he did it; love is inclusion, and he did it. It's just that he doesn't know that he loves his sister. Therefore, when his sister took wedding photos, his eyes were red, and he told his sister that he would not marry. It's late.
After the failure of his career, his husband actually had the heart to kill his wife and cheat on insurance. As a result, when negotiating with the hooligan who asked for the debt, a moment of anger rose from his heart, and evil turned to the bold, killing this person, just when his wife found out.
At this point, he suspected that his wife wanted to abandon him with his brother and go to maple leaf country (yes, he guessed it right!). So in the middle of the fight between the two, Xu Ruizhi actually smashed his husband's head with a steel pipe and called his brother in a panic.
Her brother came and helped her quickly drag her husband away and throw it into the cement of the building under construction.
At this moment, Xu Ruizhi finally found out in his conscience. My brother always wiped her ass when she needed it, for all kinds of broken things she encountered. However, these things are all human lives. So she did not think that she had to live well to repay her brother, but chose to jump from the upper floor to commit suicide. She also didn't think about seeing this scene for her brother who had done so much for her, wasn't it all in vain?
So her brother took her to the hospital, and the plot returned to the scene at the beginning of the movie, because she had lost her memory, her brother lied that he was her husband, took care of her, and tossed hard to help her realize her wish to go to maple leaf country, and his company was no longer wanted, and he planned to follow his sister to maple leaf country to start over.
The reason why he didn't tell his sister all this was that he didn't want her to feel guilty anymore and hoped that he could fulfill her wish to start her life again.
But why does this new life have to be in maple leaf country? Again I feel that Maple Leaf Country has invested. I have thought of the slogan: Maple Leaf Country, the place where a new life begins.
However, I never expected that Xu Ruizhi's husband who had been broken in the head by her, Xu Ruizhi's husband who had been thrown into the cement by her brother, actually sat up from the cement pool intact, and then decided to burn her to death on the day Xu Ruizhi returned home.
There are bugs here, but we conclude together. Because the bugs are still a bit much.
Of course, according to his brother's love for Xu Ruizhi like a timely rain, it will definitely appear at a critical moment. Therefore, although he was locked up in the police station for questioning at that time, he still ran to Xu Ruizhi's side, used his body that was stabbed, helped Xu Ruizhi block the beam that fell due to the fire, and made Xu Ruizhi's last human shield in his life.
As a result of the movie, Xu Ruizhi has already admired her brother at the lakeside of the Maple Leaf Country to lay down the Maple Leaf Country Chalet for her with his life, and the heroine's brother has gone through all kinds of hardships and finally used his life to help the heroine realize the dream of immigration, the Maple Leaf Country is mighty!
Watching the whole movie, it does tell a few social problems that often appear in Korean movies and TV series:
Abuse and abuse of children by adoptive families.
There are many rotten buildings in South Korea, and many Korean crimes have occurred in poorly managed rotten buildings.
The quality of the Korean police is not high, the image is very poor, and the work is not responsible.
……
But this still can't hide the bug of the movie:
1, the heroine fell from the n floor, in addition to the amnesia, other body organs are miraculously intact, not to mention scars, the face is not even a pimple! What a fine steel bone this is!
2, the heroine's husband was beaten by the steel pipe, the blood flowed to the ground, really a place, the director deliberately close-up the scene of some blood flowing, and then was thrown into the cement pool, and even sat up directly, unharmed?
3. When taking wedding photos, at least twenty or thirty people from the hostess's husband's family came to take a wedding photo together, which must be very close people, right? So the heroine woke up and there was no one to look at her?
4. What did the heroine's husband do in the months when the heroine disappeared? Where does he live? Why didn't he go to the heroine? If he really hated the heroine so much that he wanted to burn her to death, he didn't even go to her? But foolishly trying his luck, just when the heroine came home he came home? Did I see a cutout? This is not the right way to open a person who hates!
5. And the policeman, who began to show that he believed in the illusion of the heroine, why was he able to leave his clothes, his own model key, and the key to the interrogation room in the interrogation room when interrogating the prisoner? This policeman is really the most failed policeman who has been portraying the wisest in the years that I have watched Korean movies. Except for sloppiness, the others are not like the excellent police images in korean dramas. Really for "Snooping" in the Gao Wuzhi shoes are not worthy.
Of course, the suspense reversal part still has to be praised by the director, and the debut can be conceived so cleverly, so it is understandable that the release day can kill the two male gods Kong Liu and Park Baojian's "Xu Fu".
In short, the feeling after watching this movie is that the brother played by Kim Kang-woo is too pitiful.
His role is even more pitiful than the character in "The Mist" who went to jail for Kim Nam-joo. But the movie's motivation is far less than that of "The Mist".
Why?
Because the men in "The Mist" are all for love, and Jin Kangyu is for the migration dream of others.
