"Gentlemen love money, have a way" is the basic principle for people to earn money, but with the rapid development of social economy, many people have lost their way on this road. The bright and green world blinds people's eyes, the temptation of money blinds their minds, and few people can stick to their inner bottom line, and finally choose to compromise in the face of "pseudo-success".
Compared with those intriguing movies, "Auto Repair Station" is less conspiratorial and conclusive, not mixed with emotions, but can watch the film carefully, but found that the film has a great sense of life. The protagonist is the dark side of the world, and the supporting role is the bump of the dark side, which is a movie about how the protagonist "got rich" in the nine, but through the supporting role of the movie to portray the life characteristics of the protagonist.

Directed by Ha Yoon-Jae, the film was officially released in November 2019, with the main character "In Nine" played by Park Yong-woo. "In the nine" is only an inconspicuous representative of all those who work hard to make money, but the face of "in the nine" showing the face of unblinking means of accumulating wealth is a true portrayal of many people, for whom money is not an external object, but an obstacle that covers their eyes, and their heavenly maple tilts in the face of interests, and morality and humanity are completely crushed.
This article will dig deeper from the supporting roles of the film: the wife "Shunying", the village chief and the father-in-law, and through the supporting roles to see what has created the protagonist's human depravity and life change.
Douban score 5.9
Although they run a car repair station, the couple's life has not entered a well-off life, and they still live a life of not being able to make ends meet. The poor instinct exercises a person's mentality and becomes hard-working and tenacious, however, we do not see these qualities in "Shunying", on the contrary, the three character characteristics of "Shunying" are obvious in the movie.
(1) Greed for money
"Shunying" discovers the plan of "In Nine" and chooses to be silent rather than blocked, which I think is inseparable from her greedy humanity.
Stills from "Car Repair Station"
"Shunying" is still a bit of humanity, and after discovering that her husband caused a vehicle to burst a tire on the road by "casting nails", she first considered the personal safety of the victim vehicle. "In the nine" listened to his wife's concerns, so he put a warning sign on the road to remind the passing vehicles to slow down and avoid car accidents due to sudden tire bursts.
But even so, it could not hide the characteristics of "Shunying"'s greed for money, this way of making money got her acquiescence and help, she became her husband's accomplice, and even more became the nail that was the closest to the "closest" nail in the heart of "Nine".
(2) Show off your wealth
Since the business of the maintenance station has improved, the couple's life has been greatly improved, and the showy nature of "Shunying" has been exposed.
In the movie, it is said that "Shunying" has become less diligent and thrifty since he had money, and spends a lot of money. Doing hair and buying clothes, it is as if your life has risen to a high level. These behaviors of "Shunying" are all showing off to people who once looked down on her, and she wants everyone to see her change and see her superiority now.
But she didn't know that in fact, the more satisfied she was, the stronger the nails in Nine's heart would be.
(3) Cowardice
In addition to greed for money and showing off wealth, the cowardice of "Shunying" has caused "In Nine" to suffer a painful blow.
The "secret" of the couple's fortune was discovered by the village chief, and "Shunying" chose to compromise in order to seal the mouth of the village chief. She secretly agreed to the unreasonable demands of the village chief, and finally lost her innocence and self-esteem.
Her cowardice is manifested on the one hand in her inability to let go of her current life and her fear of returning to the poor days of the past; on the other hand, in the fact that she did not consult with her husband, but used the most stupid method to solve the problem.
"In Nine" was grief-stricken when he learned of this, and the nail in his heart made him almost suffocate, and he thought he had gained success, but he did not want to lose one of the most precious things.
Don't be embarrassed that the village chief is not an official.
In "The Garage", the "village chief" has become a stain on the couple's life, and as a village chief, he is not worthy of being an official.
(1) Teach people a lesson in nine
"In the ninth" because the resort matter was called a lesson by the village chief, it is not difficult for us to see that this is actually a relationship of interests, the village chief for the development of the village does not allow anyone to hinder the construction of the resort.
On the surface, the village chief is for the good of the village, but we all understand that he is only for his own interests.
After the construction of the resort, it will definitely drive the economic development of the village, which is definitely a good thing for his career. But I don't think this can be a reason for him to teach people a lesson "in the nine", as a village official, the act of instigating others to fight is not in line with his status.
(2) The discovery of the behavior of the nine couples is not prevented
Looking at the fact that he wanted to threaten "Shunying", he obviously found that the couple's way of getting rich was improper, and he actually did not stop it, but instead coerced "Shunying" to agree to his unreasonable demands.
As far as the village chief was concerned, he lost the integrity of the manager and allowed the evil to continue. There are several car accidents in the movie, although the consequences are not serious, but who can guarantee that there will be no accidents, so I think the village chief is responsible for all the victims.
And his coercion of "Shunying" is even more a despicable manifestation of human nature, he satisfies his own selfish desires, but invisibly destroys countless families. The village chief can be seen as the sharpest nail in the heart of "In the Nine", and he stabbed not only the heart of the "Nine", but also the life of "in the Nine" and "Shunying".
The phenomenon of poor son-in-law not being welcomed is very common, and it should be understood why "Shunying" and his father look down on "in the ninth", after all, this son-in-law is not even able to support himself, let alone what benefits can be brought. But who would have thought that one day "in the nine" flew up the branches to become a phoenix, and turned into a "hero who saves people".
"In the nine" opportunity coincidentally rescued the chairman's daughter, and got the other party's 300,000 monetary rewards, fame and fortune stalls, the father-in-law appeared in the life of the couple with a shy face.
For the father-in-law, I think his existence has nailed two nails to the heart of "In the Nine", one is that the father-in-law does not want to see him, and this attack containing the power of "looking down" has left a shadow on the former "Nine" heart, perhaps precisely because he does not want to be looked down upon by the father-in-law, affecting the human nature and interests of the "Nine" heart. There is also a manifestation of the father-in-law's current inflammatory attachment, "in the nine" to get the satisfaction of the father-in-law's feedback, but do not know that in fact, this nail makes his vanity psychology more solid.
We can't help but care what others think of us, and often some people go astray because they are afraid that they are not good enough in the eyes of others, in order to satisfy their inner vanity.
But we need to understand that what we see in the eyes of others is a reflection in the mirror, and he reflects our shortcomings. And if we want to succeed, we have to overcome our own shortcomings, what we see is the direction of progress, what we have to do is to change our appearance in reality, which is the difference between living in the eyes of others and reality.
Don't live your own people in the eyes of others, but in reality, you must pursue fame and profit.
The change of the times is the progress of the world that cannot be stopped, and the means of seeking wealth are also frequent, and the criterion of "a gentleman loves wealth and has a way to get it" is vulnerable in the face of interests. But we need to understand that there are always giant crocodiles lurking in front of the olive branch, and if you are not careful, you will be dragged into the swamp of sin. We live as capital, fame and fortune are not over-the-top clouds, but they should not lead us to "a leaf of obstruction".
The story of "In nine" tells us that when we go against our conscience for profit, we are already doomed to lose happiness, and God's punishment does not spare any sin, but his punishment is silent and heavy.
It is not difficult for us to see that in fact, the human degeneration and life change of "in the ninth" are all the reflections of themselves brought by the people around him, but he chose the wrong way to change his way of life.
