Recently watched a movie laughing dead, the name is called "Iron Rain 2: Summit", compared to the first part of the series, this time the Koreans played bigger, the story background from the peninsula issue, directly upgraded to the regional interest entanglement and the mutual containment of various countries, but the film is quite a bit of a simple way, the complex political issues, as simple as possible, with a human perspective to explain the national issues, so that the audience can more easily understand.
The style of the film adds humor elements to the tense plot, but this humor has a sense of sarcasm and self-deprecation, so that the audience will laugh after watching it, of course, the starring country, the Koreans still consistently portray themselves as heroes who solve the crisis, which is quite similar to Hollywood.
Synopsis of the film:
During the INTERK-US summit, a military coup took place in the DPRK and three heads of state were kidnapped. In order to sign the DPRK-US peace agreement, ROK President Han Kyung-jae, Chairman of the SUPREME Leadership Committee of the DPRK, and US President Smoot will hold a summit meeting between the ROK, the DPRK, and the United States in Wonsan, North Korea.
With the differences between the DPRK and the United States unabated, Park Jin-woo, director of the General Guard Bureau of the DPRK, launched a military coup to oppose the DPRK's abandonment of nuclear weapons and the establishment of a peace system, and the three leaders who were abducted were taken hostage. In the cramped captain's room, an unexpected summit will begin.
Some of the comedy sections in it are still more attractive, such as setting the head of their own country to speak English very badly, unable to communicate with the president of country M, and being ridiculed by the leader of "old enemy" country C for his test education, which is still very hilarious.
In addition, the leader of Country C insisted on smoking in the narrow cabin, and after the leader of Country M persuaded to be ineffective, he let go of a super fart, and it was also a sense of ridicule to retaliate.
In the film, you can still feel the complex national feelings between two countries on the same island, and the attitude towards both sides of the compatriots is very subtle, unlike similar films in the past, which are always black, and now Korean filmmakers are more rational, more accustomed to understanding the relationship between each other from the perspective of national interests, but never hide the sense of national closeness and strong desire for reunification in their hearts, which can still cater to the psychology of Korean audiences.
Through this drama, I thought of an American drama "The Edge of the Political Situation" many years ago, which is probably a similar theme, but the shooting method is more bold, and the ridicule of some politicians is more direct, so that the audience can watch it quite enjoyably.
With the development of the times, Korean films are more and more jumping out of the "small emotions" of children's love, and have begun to present more diversified movies, including some large-scale investment science fiction films, war films, drama films that explore human nature, and current political themes, which also makes South Korea continue to emerge excellent film professionals, so that most excellent actors can have dramas to shoot. On the other hand, South Koreans have changed from the arrogance of the past to introspection, accepting their own shortcomings, and relatively speaking, we still have a long way to go.
