In the film, the king who was secretly killed, the prince in the crisis of a coup, the ambition of a foreign relative, the Confucian scholar who hopes to change the dynasty, the corrupt ministers, and the displaced people, all elements can immediately grasp the audience's attention.
If you just regard it as the costume version of "Train to Busan", you will underestimate the director and screenwriter's intentions.
As the plot deepens, the audience can learn a story covering palace secrets, struggles between powerful people, corruption of ministers, incompetence of officials, and starvation among the people.
"Upper Class"
Ironically, the Lord of a country is the source of zombies.
Every day, young men and women disappeared in the palace, and no one knew that these people were sent to be the king's dinner.
for this supreme and power, the powerful minister has this line:
How many corpses can this small pond be filled with? I tell you that even if this pond is filled with corpses, there will be no objection. This is power.
Under this quiet lake, how many innocent people's flesh and blood are loaded...
"middle class"
Although Netflix is in charge, this film continues the consistent style of Korean film and television dramas pointing to social contradictions.
In "Kingdom", the director and screenwriter reproduced the scenes of "Why not eat meat minced" and "The rich man's wine and meat smell bad, and there are frozen bones on the road" again and again.
When the powerful and powerful celebrated their new official position, they were suffering from hunger and even saw the flesh and bones that were knocked to the ground and couldn't help but lick their tongues.
Crown Prince Li Cang and his servant Wuying arrived in Donglai, and found the clinic opened by Li Chengxi. He wanted to ask him whether his father was still alive, but he didn't want to find corpses in the cracks in the clinic.
Wu Ying immediately contacted the local officials to deal with it. The first sentence of the parents who rushed over after hearing the news was: "Ah, why did I encounter this on the first day of my tenure?"
Just as the officials were at a loss and looked at the 48 bodies everywhere in the yard, someone found Yongxin standing at the door, and pressed him as a suspect to the official.
Yongxin explained to everyone that this is a plague and will become blood-lushed and flesh-loving after it is infected. They only act at night, and during the day they will take the initiative to find dark places to hide and sleep. Burying them cannot solve them. There is only one way to kill them completely, which is to burn them.
When everyone thought it was feasible and was about to burn the body, the mistress of the local family came forward and said:
My son is a precious third-generation only son. I will not let it go if anyone dares to touch a hair on his body!
What a confident and energetic line, it shows that this is not the first time she is domineering with her identity.
It is her superior thinking that has caused dozens of people to die.
Ironically, corpses are also divided into different levels.
After the powerful are zombies, they are still powerful among the zombies and cannot be burned with fire. To deal with them, they must hold the funeral in accordance with the etiquette and then bury them under the deep ground.
As for those untouchables/fargo people, it’s all done just by burning them.
The audience must be wondering, how can we distinguish so many corpses?
This is simple, just look at the body wearing silk clothes or torn clothes.
"Lower Class"
There are two scenes in "Kingdom", which I think is more sad than zombies eating the people.
One of the things Shufei found out that the patient was actually eating human flesh, and she wanted to speak but didn't know how to tell them the truth.
The second is when facing Yongxin's questioning, Shu Fei knew that this was wrong, but she could not find a reason to convince the other party. At least she could convince herself to answer.
I am very glad that I was not born in a chaotic world. In such a society, the people can only be like ants and mustard grass.
People cannibalize people is not new. What are etiquette, law, morality, and morality, and human ethics? It is not worth mentioning in front of the three words "Living" .
When watching this drama, I believe many people will have the same question as Bingbing: Why do the North Koreans not use the Korean we see now, but the traditional Chinese characters?
So when I was writing this review, I read a lot of information to try to understand the history of North Korea.
Before the North-South split, the Korean Peninsula was collectively called "Korea" . It was established by the royal family of the Shang Dynasty ( The uncle of King Zhou of Shang ) in order to avoid the Western Zhou Dynasty, he led his tribe members to Northeast . Over the long years, North Korea has always been a vassal of China and needs to pay tribute to the royal family at that time every year. When Qizi entered North Korea, he not only brought the etiquette and system of the Shang Dynasty, but also brought relatively advanced farming, silkworm breeding, textile technology and a large number of bronze utensils that were considered relatively advanced at that time.
At the same time, Qi Zi also brought literati who were well-versed in poetry, rituals, music, medicine, yin and yang, witchcraft, and skilled craftsmen who knew various skills, and formulated legal provisions such as "Eight Prohibitions for Violation".
Due to certain nationalist reasons, some Korean and Korean scholars now deny the existence of Jizi and North Korea, but a large number of cultural relics unearthed from the Korean Peninsula all testify to this history.
At that time, North Korea was still in a period of only language but no words. When it came into contact with the more developed Chinese culture, it naturally chose to borrow Chinese characters to express its meaning.
This move not only exists in North Korea, but many ethnic groups (Japan and Vietnam) in the East Asian cultural circle do this. For a thousand or two years, there were only Chinese characters on the Korean Peninsula, and Chinese characters were its only writing system.
Lee's Korean era, whether knows Chinese characters has become the boundary between intellectuals and ordinary people .
Korean Sejong Lee Hok is the fourth generation monarch of the Lee family. During his reign, he created "安容 " , which had a profound impact on the subsequent language and cultural development of North Korea. It was respected as King Sejong by later Korean historians.
But within four hundred years since the proverb was created, the main official term in Korea was still Chinese characters, and proverbs were only popular among the people in the market.
Chinese characters' status on the Korean Peninsula was gradually replaced by Korean, roughly around the Sino-Japanese War of 1894-1895.
At that time, China's national strength was not as good as before, ending its history that had been brilliant in the East Asian cultural circle for thousands of years. Japan, Vietnam, , Singapore and other countries began to give up their praise of Han culture and then develop their own culture. North Korea naturally followed the trend of history and its national consciousness was gradually established.
Chinese characters and Korean are completely different language systems. The latter is pinyin/phonetic text like Japanese , which makes it encounter a lot of trouble in specific life application scenarios.
For a long time, Korean and Chinese characters were used in mixed use (somewhat similar to Japanese), but Chinese characters were basically limited to the bracket annotation and there were certain restrictions on the number of characters. Such a special historical background as
has caused the Chinese to understand it when visiting North Korea/Korea's historical sites or watching historical dramas, but the residents of the Korean Peninsula need to read the translation to know the current status of the significance.
Although the South Korean government's attitude towards Chinese characters is volatile, as China's comprehensive national strength continues to improve, many Korean parents will choose extracurricular cram schools to let their children learn Chinese to increase their core competitiveness.
I, who is not very good at history and geography, was aroused by this historical drama. When I was writing the historical changes in Korean language above, I really spent a few days looking up the information. After
solved the above problem, another problem troubled me: Where is Donglai in ?
Through searching on Wikipedia, I accidentally learned that Donglai and Busan still have some connections.
The Busan region during the Korean era was in Juqishan Country, which formed a stalemate with several small countries such as the Chashan Country. After the mid-6th century, the Juqishan Kingdom in the Busan area was changed to Juqishan County, and in 757, it was changed to Juqishan County, which made Donglai County the first time that Donglai appeared in historical records. After
, I saw this introduction on Busan official website:
is difficult to trace back now. People call this area of soil and soil Busan, and the origin of Busan used now is related to "Busan Po". Busan Pu is not an independent administrative area such as counties and counties, and is administratively governed by Donglai County. In the 6th year of Taizu (1367), Busan Town was established, and on October 1, 1910, Busan became an independent name as the Busan Mansion, completely separated from Donglai Mansion.
Donglai is the current Busan. It seems that zombies really like this place.
