Korean zombie movie, of course, is the first "Busan", and some people even call it "the best zombie movie in Asia".
Obviously, the United States has been at the forefront of the zombie genre, with their epic seasonal series "Game of Thrones," "The Walking Dead," "Zombie Nation," and a plethora of zombie movies, such as "Zombie World War," etc.......
They've practically developed a zombie system. The source of infection and the various variations brought about by the infectious pathways are somewhat different in each movie and TV show, but they are all in order.
In comparison, the zombie films made in Asian countries are dragging their feet in terms of special effects. Although Hong Kong, China's Lin Zhengying series of zombie films are very classic, it's a pity that this kind of unique, belonging to China's Qing Dynasty zombies have no more breakthroughs after Lin Zhengying. In addition, China has begun to have restrictions on this type of movie.
South Korea's "Busan" has achieved such high ratings in China that it is totally unexpected. I'm used to seeing horrible zombies with missing arms and legs on European and American faces, but seeing these Asian zombies suddenly makes me feel really close to them!
Why did "Busan" get such high ratings?
Many of my friends said that after watching "Busan Xing", they had a psychological shadow on taking the high speed train. In fact, American zombie movies also have such scenes, only because the actors of "Busan Row" are all yellow skin, the sense of immersion is stronger, and emotionally closer to our lives.
The zombies in Busan are actually not that scary, thanks to the group's super hard work, twisting every joint of their bodies to the extreme, and their facial expressions are as twisted as they are.
The actor who was hit with a solid elbow by the fat uncle, it really hurt!
Not to mention the scene in the high-speed crash of the group of corpses at the high-speed train station, I do not know how many group actors were buried under the ......
Special effects are not enough, manpower to make up for, every actor, even group actors have performed at the highest level, so how can people not praise.
Ma Dong-seok, who plays the fat uncle, used to be a proper fresh meat, and I don't know what he went through, but he turned into this look in "Busan", which makes him look like a thief with a sense of security.
Girls obsessed with Gong Yoo, in the film as a securities company fund manager Shi Yu, usually busy working so busy that he lost his wife, his daughter complained that as a guardian of the father did not care enough about themselves, always want to go to her mother's side.
Seok-woo then takes his daughter to Busan by train to look for her mom.
The villain of the film has a bit of a position of power, his whole stinky face gives him away all day long, and his last wish before turning into a zombie is to find his mom.
The zombies are not that scary, their weakness is very retarded, without light, they just blindly wander around, can only rely on the sound to find prey, I really do not know that cataracts are how to perceive the light.
What's scarier is the human heart.
This movie is actually about human nature in the shell of a zombie. In a life-and-death situation, most people tend to be selfish and would rather wrong a few people than protect the majority.
Shi Yu was also originally indifferent to the mentality of others, and was only touched after being saved once by the fat uncle. The key is the daughter's pure heart, giving her father an example once and for all. This is what led to the touching fight for life scene later, as long as there is hope, one can not give up.
Even if you are a villain, leave enough time for your last words.
In fact, the villain, Jin Managing Director, this kind of person, in the crisis can often live to the end, he considered things more calm than others and comprehensive, but taking into account that the movie is always made to promote some positive energy, certainly can not give him a good ending.
If the movie was made according to the novel, he would be the only one left on the train who survived, which could be called a "masterpiece", but it would also be too crazy.
It's hard to tell which side is right when it comes to human nature in "Busan".
From a God's perspective, you'd find them abhorrent, but in reality, maybe you're one of them.
You feel that Shi Yu's hesitation is not bold enough, but if you were yourself, I am afraid that you will be so paralyzed that you can not move a step;
You feel that the sister to avenge the old sister summoned the zombies to destroy an entire compartment is a fast and furious, but what is wrong with those people?
Many of the episodes have left viewers with a ****ty feeling, and that's what makes "Busan" so highly acclaimed.
A zombie movie that doesn't cost much and relies on group actors for special effects has been able to maintain high ratings for several years, so it naturally has its own unique charm.
On top of that, there's a new zombie movie in South Korea, Rampage, which has a significantly lower reputation than Walking in Busan, and there's a difference in the zombie settings as well. The zombies in this movie are afraid of light and fire, and are sensitive to sound, so they can only be killed by cutting off their heads or stabbing through their hearts. They are called "night ghosts" in the movie.
These night ghosts are obviously not as strong as the long-distance running champion zombies in "Busan", and when the collective attacked the palace, a large group of night ghosts were twisting and swaying as if they were dancing, but they just didn't go to bite people.
The story is a complete story, is a lot of people like the type of palace power plot, is the protagonist aura is too dazzling, all kinds of logic hard to ignore.
Douban rating of 5.7, like Hyun Bin and Zhang Dongjian can still go to see, there is a beard of ancient costume uncle handsome dregs.
According to the film makers to determine the "Busan line 2: Peninsula" in 2019 to start filming, released in 2020, the original cast should not return. Even without Gong Yoo, it's still something to look forward to as long as it continues the high quality of the first installment.
