High-scoring classic Korean movies such as "The Crucible", "The Defender", "Sowon", and "Memories of Murder" should have been rejected. To be honest, for me, this kind of movie After watching it once, I wouldn’t want to watch it a second time. Why? I’ll answer it for you later, but let’s get back to the topic now.
As a girl who is barely in her prime, I have watched a lot of Korean dramas and movies, including suspense, horror, romance, and comedy. After all, I am not a professional film critic, and the requirements are not high. Each category only pursues one principle. The suspenseful ones require brain-burning or twisting, such as "The Signal" and "Nine Time Travels"; the scary ones don't scare me to death, but there must be something that scares me, which can be the actors' makeup effects, music, acting skills, etc. etc., such as "The Master's Sun", the Korean school horror film series in the past are also quite good; as for romance films, I now prefer pure and sweet films with male and female protagonists, such as "What's Wrong with Secretary Kim" and the one that just finished "My ID is Gangnam Beauty" is sweet and goes well with the meal; if it's a comedy, it must be funny. "Funny Family" simply dominated my childhood. Although "Kill Me Heal Me" is slightly sadistic, Shen Shiqi and Yao Goddess Ra is simply my source of joy.
Well, I almost went off topic. Today I would like to recommend 10 relatively new Korean movies that I like. They are ranked in no particular order. There are many subjective factors and the degree of preference is a matter of opinion. (You can have a friendly discussion in the comment area!)
This film is adapted from the short novel "Barnburning" by Haruki Murakami, starring Yoo Ah-in and Stephen Yeun (who plays Glenn in "The Walking Dead"). Usually when I see the three words Yoo Ah In, I know that this movie must be good, and it turns out to be so.
"You" are the only ray of light in "my" dark life, and "I" are the remaining salvation in "your" miserable world. Even if the world forgets "you", "you" are the return that "I" are eternally looking for. For "you", I am willing to fight with "it", tit for tat.
The poverty of the poor is physical hunger, which can be solved by meeting material needs. The poverty of the rich is spiritual poverty, emptiness and anxiety, which cannot be filled by sex, alcohol and drugs, so the latter hunts the former. Burn down the inner warehouse with a fire!
The movie is not only about love, but also has a broad pattern and different metaphors. Is the answer you want necessarily true?
Adapted from the novel "Meet in the Rainy Season" by Ichikawa Takuji, starring Son Ye-jin and So Ji-sub. Sure enough, it was Son Ye-jin ten years ago, and it will still be Son Ye-jin ten years later. It simply supported my youth when I watched Korean love movies. Car accidents, amnesia, terminal illness, time travel, and soul retrieval were full of routines, but they still made me cry like a fool in front of the screen.
"I hope that when the wind and rain come, I can keep you here" - There is a place between heaven and earth called the Kingdom of Clouds, where people who are about to go to heaven stay before their loved ones forget them. place. They come with the raindrops and leave before the rainy season ends.
How lucky and precious it is to have someone who loves you with all his strength in life. The most important thing is to seize the moment and cherish it. Even if your lover or relative is gone one day, you can still take care of him. Live well with these unforgettable memories.
Starring my favorite old Korean drama star Na Wenji, this movie uses a comedy to present the heavy topic of comfort women. They are no longer a distant and special suffering group. They seem to be the most common neighbor grandmothers in our lives. They are warm and kind. They visit the house when they have nothing to do, chat and say a few words to you. Occasionally they find them annoying, but deep in their hearts they feel grievances. No one can understand suffering.
"History must be remembered, and those sad stories cannot be repeated again." - Whether it is "Twenty-Two" or "I Can Say", throughout our lives, what we want is just a sincere It's just an apology, but they can't wait any longer! Going back in time, the innocent and cute appearance of the girl at that time was really the most beautiful scenery in the world!
The film is told from a child’s perspective, confronting school violence, but the audience is more like adults who have experienced sensitive and excluded childhoods.
There is no right or wrong in the world of children, but it is the most direct, vicious and cruel. Because you are ugly, you will be scolded; because you are poor, you will be isolated; because you are special, you will be excluded; because you are annoying You, so I bully you!
Because I don’t want to hear “there are so many people, why are you the only one being bullied?”, so I silently break my teeth and swallow it;
Because I’m afraid of losing the hard-earned “friendship” ", so I learned to be agreeable and diplomatic;
Because I need to maintain my poor self-esteem, I must smile to everyone.
Every adult should be able to find something inspiring in this film. We have experienced the initial hurt and overcome the shadow of the year, and we will grow into better adults!
Another new film by director Yang Woo-suk of "The Defender", suitable for movie fans who like to watch war action movies. The subject matter is so bold that I don’t know how to describe it. I quote a funny comment from Douban netizen Ling Rui: “1. Assassinate Jin, capture Jin alive, use panda dolls to stop Jin’s bleeding, doctors regard Jin as a pregnant woman, sister donates blood to Jin, the movie is a success North Korea, South Korea, Japan and the United States are all in trouble; 2. North Korea: If the United States dares to attack me, I will attack Japan; 3. If the North and the South resume contact, please help me send it to this address; 4. The wind is rustling and the water is cold, a strong man Once gone, there will never be a return; 5. For the sake of peace, fire at me! 6. Share half of the nuclear bomb with you, and share the love with each other."
The words are crude but not crude, and it summarizes the plot perfectly.
Not only does it deeply explore the real historical events in the past, but it also directly fictionalizes the political conflicts in the future. Although it is still "nationalism conquers all", it is indeed quite interesting. I wonder if this type of film will be produced in our country. What will the film be like?
Directed by Kim Sung-hoon, the director of "The End", it is adapted from the novel "Tunnel" of the same name by writer Su Jae-hwan. Fans of Ha Jung-woo and Bae Doo-na must not miss it. This movie breaks the rules of previous "disaster movies". The background is not limited to a catastrophe with heavy casualties, but a tunnel collapse with less lethality. It does not exaggerate the pain of the victims, but instead depicts the hero's process of overcoming the crisis. It's both funny and heart-wrenching.
Different from the tragic and desperate description in the original work, the male protagonist did not give up hope of survival at the last moment, and the rescue captain did not give up looking for the male protagonist at the last moment. This is an optimistic and beautiful film. The ending of the movie is a "healing" one rather than a "depressing" one!
The director said this is an interesting movie. Do you want to know what an interesting disaster movie is? Then go check it out!
A film about an "invisible poor girl" who begs for a place to stay. The heroine's name is Smile, and she lives a life completely inconsistent with her name. She was miserable. Her parents were dead and she had no relatives. She couldn't afford the tuition and had to drop out of college to work. Without a degree, she could only find a job as a cleaner; she was so poor that she could only survive on hourly wages, three or three meals a day. Meals, rent, water and electricity, careful budgeting, income and expenditure are still not proportional. But no matter how difficult it is, she can't live without cigarettes and alcohol every day, as if this is her spiritual sustenance.
After reading this, I will think of myself, wandering in a big city, doing an ordinary job, working overtime all day long, with a mediocre salary, not sleeping on the street, but still having no money at the end of the month. Why? Rent, water, electricity, meals, and transportation account for the majority. Clothes and cosmetics need to be bought, movies need to be watched, travel needs to be done, and life needs to be enjoyed. So, there is no savings! ! Since you want to get it, you must be willing to give it up, and you must have a sweet dream!
The sixth part of TVN's one-act drama series, first love and memory at the age of seventeen, Korean style freshness, "Facial Control Patient", don't miss it!
A 17-year-old is always dissatisfied with the life of a 17-year-old, including the pressure of study, family conflicts, quarrels between friends, and occasional rebellion. At the age of 17, I am confused. I don’t know what my ideal is or what I want to do in the future. Even the most youthful ambiguity is difficult to define. Is this initial relationship a "secret love" or a "first love"?
When we were at our most ignorant age, we met someone we might remember for the rest of our lives. We were not together, and we didn’t even pierce the thin window paper. But I have never regretted it. Missing it is the most beautiful regret. It is not that I will never forget you, but that I miss my innocent and silly self back then.
Some people say that secret love is the most innocent boredom in youth! What do you think?
"There are laws in the underworld. All the dead must go through seven trials within 49 days after death - in the prison of murder, the prison of laziness, the prison of deception, the prison of injustice, the prison of betrayal, the prison of violence, and the prison of family relationships. Held in prison, only the dead who have passed seven trials and been acquitted have a chance to get a new life." - China's ghost culture was filmed in South Korea!
It explores family affection and filial piety within the framework of magic, explores human nature and good and evil, sets the two realms of yin and yang, has a strong cast team, dazzling action special effects, and can closely outline the storyline. A mature and typical Korean tear-jerking movie. Rational people will feel that the excessive sensationalism is too rigid in emotional details, which makes the original huge world view inferior. Emotional people will feel that the theme comes from life, and the description of family love is the film's signature. Where the soul is. In short, it’s a matter of opinion, but I was moved anyway.
I haven’t watched "Along with the Gods 2" yet. I always feel that the first movie in the series is the essence. I don’t really want to watch the second and subsequent movies for fear of being disappointed (American TV series in English) Except for dramas).
A science fiction movie that feels like a Korean version of a superhero. I recommend this movie not because it is so good-looking, but because the setting is a bit novel and I can’t help but want to watch it. Human experiments, mind control, brain development, and cheating on the heroine’s combat effectiveness. If you don’t delve into the details, just the suspense and action scenes are pretty good. The emotional rendering in the early stage is all paving the way for the later stage. The plot twist is quite impressive. .
The whole process of watching was tense. After watching it, my mind was full of questions. The heroine’s IQ and strength were overwhelming and defeating the villain throughout the whole process. Is the halo of the protagonist too exaggerated? A U.S.-South Korea joint venture hospital conducting human experiments? What is the purpose of cultivating a killing machine?
I am still looking forward to the sequel. After all, there are many pits buried, and you have to see them filled up, otherwise it will not be exciting!
The above 10 movies are my favorite Korean movies that I have watched during this period. If you have other good ones, please recommend them in the comments!
Let’s go back to the beginning, why don’t you want to watch a movie like “The Crucible” a second time? Too dark, too depressing, too real, too wronged! After watching it for the first time, I burst into tears, as if I was going to have a myocardial infarction! There will be a dark emotion: "I" try my best to fight against the evil forces, "I" tear through the hypocrisy of the mainstream media, "I" pursue uncompromising justice, "I" look forward to the final happy ending, "I" "I was bruised and bruised, but "I" still had high morale, but "I" still lost to the status quo! This is so desperate! For me, if I maintain more innocence and trust in the world, I will live a happier life!
Finally, I would like to recommend a Korean drama "The Ghost Guest". This type of Yin and Yang eyes, possession, exorcism and crime solving is really to my liking. I applaud the actors' acting skills! Only 4 episodes have been updated, it’s really hard to follow the show!
Now that you’ve seen this, why don’t you leave without giving it a like?
