Half of 2021 has passed, the summer file is coming, for the friends of the film famine, Korean film fans have sorted out this recommendation for Korean film in the first half of 2021, and friends who do not have time to watch can collect this list of films first.
5th Place "Pipeline"
"Pipes" tells the story of six oil thieves who dream of reversing their lives by stealing oil, and a "steal and anti-steal" dog blood team cooperation between them and their clients.
The film positions crime entertainment films, choosing the new crime film theme of oil theft, but the plot is obviously old-fashioned, and the lines are also more blunt, fortunately, there are Xu Renguo and Lee Soo Yong supporting the scene, and they were barely selected for the first half of the movie list.
4th Place "Xu Fu"
The science fiction film "Xu Fu", directed by Li Yongzhou, director of "Introduction to Architecture" and starring Kong Liu and Park Baojian, is undoubtedly a work that is highly anticipated by fans in the first half of the year. The film tells the story of min Ki-hyun (Kong Liu), a dying former intelligence bureau employee, who accidentally meets Xu Fu (Park Baojian), an "immortal" who has the secret of human immortality, and on the way to protect Xu Fu to reach a safe place, all forces want to possess the secret of immortality, thus embarking on a shocking escape.
The film attempts to explore the philosophical issue of the meaning of life and death, but is reluctant to abandon the action and genre elements of commercial films that attract audiences, and the topics are not discussed deeply, the plot performance is mediocre, and the action scenes are more general. Of course, the fans of Kong Liu and Park Baojian are naturally not to be missed, and the ending part of the film is indeed very exciting, and it is true that you must see the final movie.
3rd Place Victory
The most popular Korean movie in the first half of 2021 is "Victory". The film tells the story of a group of victory spacecraft workers who make money by recycling space junk in the future 2092 - captain Kim Tae-ri, problem pilot Song Joong-ki, impulse team member Chen Shankui and robot Liu Haizhen, accidentally involved in a shocking conspiracy to build a future space for human beings in space.
The star-studded gathering, coupled with the production company's investment of 24 billion won (about 140 million yuan) in production costs, Hollywood-level special effects, world view, art design, all made the film earn enough eyeballs. After the film was completed, it was purchased by Netflix to promote the world, and after the release, the empty plot and dragging narrative, coupled with the cheesy family line squeezing the audience's tears, also made the film highly criticized.
The special effects of the film and the acting skills of the actors are full, and you can brush it when you are bored without considering the plot factor. By the way, the art design of the film won the Best Art Award in the Film Category at the 57th Baeksang Art Awards, and the students in the art design category can draw the key points.

It can also be seen from the introduction that this film has great practical value and continues the social value attribute of Korean films. The stories described are also portrayals of your own lives that you and I can perceive or even be, which are extremely contagious and think more after watching.

Directed by the well-known Korean director Lee Rui-yee and starring national treasure actor Xue Jingqiu, the film uses black and white tones to eliminate all distractions to immerse the audience in this historical event, so that the audience can follow the director's narrative structure to think about teacher-student feelings, brotherhood and love. Of course, in order to avoid the dullness and preaching of traditional historical films, the director also adds some jokes from time to time, so that the audience will naturally smile inadvertently. After the film was released in South Korea, it overpowered a number of movies such as "Godzilla vs King Kong" released at the same time and became the weekend box office champion.
In the film, there are also many bard poems between literati, using Chinese characters, as well as discussions on the way of Confucius and Mencius and Cheng Zhu Lixue, which makes people lament the profundity of Chinese culture at the same time, but also feel the director's narrative strength and the lack of domestic films of the same type.
