Korean movies have always been widely explored, from disaster films to warm films, from inspirational films to realistic films, every type has its own outstanding works.
Even warm-hearted movies can make many tricks, such as the new movie I want to talk about in this article:
"My First-Class Brothers"
This video Douban score is 8.0, which touched many netizens. Lee Kwang-soo starred in
from the poster It can be seen that this is a film with two male protagonists.
One of the protagonists, Jiang Shihe, was injured when riding his neck when he was young, causing a fracture of his spine and paralyzed. Except for his head, the rest of his body could not move at all, and he had no consciousness.
The second protagonist, Park Dong-gu, has a first-level intellectual disability, which is basically the intellectual level of a 5-year-old child, but he has very good physical fitness and is still a swimming genius.
A super brain, a steel body, completely two extremes, and then they start their story.
Shihe's mother passed away two years after being paralyzed. At first, she was taken care of by relatives. Gradually, her relatives were overwhelmed and left him directly in the "Home of Responsibility" of the Disabled Welfare Home.
Here, Shihe and Dongjiu met. Because Dongjiu's intelligence is lower than that of ordinary people, he will be bullied in the welfare home, and Shiha takes action to help him, so he formed a friendship.
"The House of Responsibility" is a priest who always takes special care of Seha and Dongjiu. To them, the priest is like a father.
Shihe and Dongjiu are getting along with each other because of their own complementarity.
20 years passed like this. The priest died of age, and only Shihedongjiu and a group of disabled children were left in the welfare home.
They immediately faced problems. First of all, the "Responsible Home" they rented has been owed for half a year and has not paid the rent.
Fortunately, Shihe's super brain helped him. He used the regulation that "disabled people can verify the duration of volunteers" to charge fees based on the different needs of "volunteers". After this operation, the "Responsible Home" seems to be able to maintain it again.
But because of the death of the priest, the "House of Responsibility" has no non-disabled persons as the person in charge, and the government decided not to subsidize them here anymore.
Some disabled people who cannot be independent will be assigned to other welfare homes according to their own situation.
In this way, Dongjiu and Shihe will be separated.
Just when Seha was worried, he suddenly discovered that Edongu's physical condition could train him as a contestant based on his love for swimming. Once he wins, he will get a prize of 1 million won.
And they can complement each other according to their own situation to achieve independence and can apply for government housing.
If you can make extra money, your next life will not be a problem.
So Seha asked Mixian, who had worked part-time in the swimming pool before, to serve as a swimming teacher for Dongjiu, to train him some swimming skills, and promised that if he won the prize, the prize would be 64 points as much as her, and she could also be certified as a volunteer time.
So the combination of three people was established like this. After careful training, Dongjiu quickly reached the level where he could participate.
Just when they were about to sign up for the competition, they were told that they were late and they were not eligible for the competition.
I thought that things would be dead at this point, but Shihe still used some tricks and successfully won the reputation.
The first swimming competition was not so smooth. At the beginning, Dongjiu was very fast and left his opponent far behind. But after turning around, he stopped and stood in the swimming pool and was not moving. The chance to win the first place.
It turned out that Dongjiu was abandoned in a swimming pool when he was a child. His mother deceived him to wait for him at the finish line, but when he turned around and didn't find his mother again.
This fear was deeply imprinted in his mind, causing him to stop looking for his mother during the game.
Fortunately, the disabled person Dongjiu participated in a swimming competition and was reported to the TV station, and they also took the opportunity to raise money.
The relationship between the three people is getting better and better, and they even went to watch the movie together.
Shikawa and Tokuha have also set the next time to participate in the competition, and they also promise to do their best.
But when the welfare home was taken away, everyone was forced to be assigned to different welfare homes.
Shihe and Dongjiu are not assigned to apply for independence, so they went to Shihe's junior home who was previously responsible for their welfare home.
At the same time, Dongjiu's mother saw Dongjiu while watching TV. She was hit hard because Dongjiu's father passed away and did not have the confidence to continue to live.
Now that she has improved her living conditions and wants to compensate Dongjiu, she finds Dongjiu.
For Shihe, he and Dongjiu are a community. They have lived together for 20 years. No one can live without anyone. At the same time, Shihe cannot forgive Dongjiu's mother who once abandoned Dongjiu.
In order to obtain custody of Dongjiu, in desperation, Shiha and Dongjiu's mother had to meet in court.
Although Dongjiu has been training for a long time, Dongjiu still pointed out in court that he is willing to live with his mother. What is the specific reason? I will leave it to you to find the answer when watching the video.
But after the two separated, they could not live normally. Dongjiu also ran back to the "House of Responsibility" in order to find Shihe, and the volunteers who took care of Shihe did not cooperate smoothly.
After many twists and turns, the two of them reunited again and the house they applied for was approved. They finally had their own home and became each other's closest family.
In fact, the overall story of the film is relatively simple. Basically, you can guess the direction of the story by reading the introduction. The film is full of good people, and there are no unexpected conflicts and conflicts. Most of them are presentations of life details.
Although there are many details, there is not too much focus on the profound part that should be portrayed, so that the characters are not plump and three-dimensional enough, and the impression left by the characters on the audience is not as profound as the acting skills of the two starring actors.
In addition, in addition to the two starring roles added to the film, there are also thankless situations.
The reason is that the characters that are not portrayed enough, which makes some characters who should have promoted the development of the plot become useless and fail to play the role they should have played.
Director was not sure about the rhythm very well. The 113-minute movie seemed a little hasty in the second third.
The emotions and details of the main characters are in a hurry to end without being in place, which is much inferior to the same type of "The Gift of Room 7".
Although the film is slightly insufficient in both story and rhythm, this does not affect the good look and touching of the movie. This is a story that you will still be moved even if you know all the memes.
Because although the meme is an old meme, the tears are indeed real.
According to the director, "My First-Level Brothers" is a real story, and the director wants to express it through this simple and plain story, which has appeared many times in the film:
"If a person who seems to be weak is united, It will surpass all the strong people.”
Shikawa and Dongjiu are undoubtedly weak people, and the same is true for Meixian they met later. They repeatedly hit walls in their work and have been relying on various part-time jobs to make a living.
And just like the priest said: weak people will find courage in each other and become stronger, such as Seha and Hiroku.
To each other, they are no longer family, but home. Only with each other can they have a home, no matter where they are.
The film also conveys another idea through their stories: "This person has the responsibility to survive as soon as he is born." This is the meaning of the "House of Responsibility" they lived in at the beginning, and it is also everyone in the film All are trying to do.
From another perspective, this film that reflects brotherhood is still an inspirational film, which hits the audience's weaknesses.
is a time when everyone is weak. No one stipulates that one must be born strong, but it is not like a passionate inspirational film, with slogans that are loud and loud. Instead, you realize it when you cry unconsciously, and it is also the director who tells the story. Where is the skill.
Another thing to say is that the touching story is largely attributed to the acting skills of the two protagonists.
Lee Kwang-soo, who plays Dong-gu, must be no longer talking about it. Since the broadcast of Running Man, we have long been very familiar with him, the "Asian Prince".
But he is actually not only a variety showman, but also an excellent actor. In 2018, he won a high score of 9.2 and starred in the Korean drama "live", and he also starred in a wide range of movies.
His performance this time is really a plus, although he has played similar roles in "It's OK, it's love".
However, the eyes changed several times in the film, even some small movements on the hands, and body language. No wonder netizens said that Kwang Soo's acting skills were amazing.
In the video, he woke up in the "House of Responsibility", and his helpless eyes suddenly touched the audience's tear glands.
, Shin Ha-jun, who plays Seha, is an actor himself. He has won the "Best Supporting Actor Award" of the Blue Dragon Award in 2000, and then he won various awards.
"Best Newcomer Award", "Male Newcomer Acting Award", "Unspeaking Coming" and "Best Actor Award" are all won.
In the video, he feels very immersive based on his facial performance alone. It can be said that he was the one who led the tears in the video.
In the last film, the red heroine actor Li Xu, a typical male god harvester.
She and South Korea Tomge Jung Woo-sung have starred in "Mrs. Brave", and have collaborated with the ugly handsome representative Kim Woo-bin in " White Christmas ", and also collaborated with Korean Yuanzu idol Cha Sheng-won in the movie " High heels 》.
acting skills are also considered the best among the new generation of actresses.
video tells a very warm story in very soft tones. Many pictures look like beautiful love dramas. After watching them, maybe you have the courage to face difficulties like them.
