2019 is destined to be a year of Great Limelight for Han Ying. From "Parasite" at the stunning Cannes Film Festival, to "Kim Ji-young, Born in 1982", which is respected by women around the world, to "My First-Class Brother" with tears in laughter. Whether it is a magical realism theme or a story related to family love, the audience feels that it is not exhausted after watching it.
All three films were shortlisted for the 2019 "Top Ten Korean Films of the Year" film list. Today we'll take a look at how wonderful these movies that have been shortlisted for the top ten of the year are.
The film was released in the spring, but it was not warm at all, but made the audience cry a full liter of tears.
The story takes place after the shipwreck of the Ship, and no matter how hard they try, the victim's family cannot instantly come out of the grief of losing a loved one.
The story reflects the shipwreck of the Sewol that shocked the world in South Korea. The opposite is done, reducing the tragic situation at the time of the accident and focusing the narrative on the attitude of the victim's family and society to the accident.
Loved ones are grief-stricken, but the direct person responsible for the accident has no guilt, showing the ugliness of human nature in the contrast.
The disaster film is set up, the theme of high-rise escape, and the two narrative branches of love and life are mixed at the same time. There are many elements, but there is no deviation, in one wonderful reversal and laughter after another to bring the audience a great viewing experience.
The film stars Cao Zhengyi and Lin Yun'er, both newcomers on the movie screen. But unexpectedly brought wonderful acting skills to the audience, whether it was panic in the face of disaster, or the resolute look of giving up their chances of survival to the students, it was touching.
In addition to describing the escape process of the two protagonists, the film also presents the ugliness of class concepts in Korean society, and the coexistence of fun and reality.
It's hard to imagine a story related to writing a dictionary that gets such a high story. It's even harder to imagine: the director can actually combine boring historical themes with blood-boiling dream elements to bring the audience a more interesting viewing experience.
This is a story related to "preserving the local language and culture". Because of the invasion of the colonists, people could only secretly record the language of their country on paper to prevent it from being forgotten. The first half is funny, and the second half is tear-jerking. The feelings of home and country and personal ideals are perfectly blended together, and after reading it, they are still unfinished.
In the vast majority of cases, the situation of witnesses witnessing murder scenes is contradictory. Refusal to testify is unethical, and appearing in court may put oneself and one's loved ones at risk. Not to mention that the witness in this movie is a girl with autism who is difficult to maintain even the most basic state of life.
The main line of this film is to restore the truth of the murder through the scenes that the girl sees. Until then, defense attorneys need to be friends with the girl so that they can gain the girl's trust and converse successfully. Friendship and murder are intertwined to form a tear-jerking and suspenseful story.
Those who believe in the law act according to the procedure, and do not believe in the choice of the law to counter violence with violence. Even if your own behavior will bring harm to yourself and the outside world, you will resolutely seek justice.
In "The Legend of the Wicked", the leader of the criminals, Jang Dong-so, is violently attacked by a mysterious serial killer, and he quickly joins forces with local detective Jung Tae-sook to hunt down the criminals. Jang Dong-so is the representative of evil, and at the same time, he is also a being related to justice. The story setting of "The Wicked Have Their Own Wicked Grind" maximizes the readability of this story, which is very interesting.
This is South Korea's highest-grossing love movie this year, starring Kim Ko-yin and Ding Haiyin, who have been on fire for nearly two years, and even if the two stand in the picture without doing anything, it is a pleasing scenery.
The style of the film is biased towards prose narrative, without too many ups and downs of the plot, but to hide the emotions in all the details related to love. Such as the throbbing expression of the two protagonists when they first met, the thoughts conveyed by the figures turning over and over on the bed late at night. The music becomes intense as the storyline progresses, presenting the true meaning of love in the process of the two protagonists being separated and reunited.
I still remember that less than a week after the film was released, it caused an uproar in South Korea. Because of the tragic scenes related to child abuse presented in the film, but also because the sentence at the end of the film is "based on the true story".
The title of the film is "The Little Client", and as the name suggests, it is the story of a young child seeking a lawyer to defend him. Because of fear, she could not fully recall the process of her being abused. The more this state of fear manifests itself, the clearer the definition of the theme of "anti-child abuse" becomes.
This movie, along with "The Melting Pot" and "Suyuan", was listed by the audience as one of the most afraid to watch movies. Although the narrative is old-fashioned, the reflection of reality is enough to make it one of the top ten of the year.
When it comes to Lee Kwang-so, everyone will think of the iron man in running man who is funny every moment, but in fact, Lee Kwang-so, who is famous as a funny artist, has already transformed into a successful one, and has continuously brought high-scoring masterpieces such as "Voice of the Heart" and "Live" to the audience.
In "My First-Class Brothers", Lee Kwang-so plays a man with mental disorders who has a physical disability and is a "non-blood brother". The two are each other's brains and bodies, living together for their lives. But the weather is unpredictable, because of an accident, the two must be separated. In order to continue living together, two physically handicapped people erupt with great strength, and although there are many tears, the story is very healing.
If you want to ask the most controversial film in Korean cinema in 2019, it must be this "Kim Ji-young born in 1982". After the release, it was boycotted by male audiences across the country, and male lead actor Kong You was dissed for this reason.
In stark contrast is the attitude of female audiences towards the film. Considering this story to be true and cruel, it vividly describes the unfair treatment of women in society.
Although the atmosphere of the story is very depressing, because of its bold exposé of realistic themes, the story has received a steady stream of attention. Become one of the best feminist films of the year.
finally! To this "Parasite" that was competed for by fans all over the world. With absurd and satirical plots to map real life, every picture and every plot presents the huge difference between rich and poor in Korea and the ugliness of class society.
One of the most ironic settings in the film is that there is a smell in the poor. Not a bad body odor, but an indescribable presence. At the end of the film, there are several reversals, which unexpectedly raise the height of the film at the same time, making the practical significance it carries even stronger.
The above is a little bit for everyone to sort out the best 10 Korean films in 2019, there are legitimate red young actors to resist attention, there are also reflective realistic themes to ensure the depth of the story, each one is a boutique, friends who have not seen it remember to make up Oh!
