Among the affiliated islands of Nagasaki Prefecture, Japan, there is an island called Hashima . The island is shaped like a warship, also known as Battleship Island . Battleship Island has now become a tourist island and was listed in July 2015. Entered the World Cultural Heritage List.
In the early days, Battleship Island was rich in coal resources. The Japanese exploited the rich resources on Battleship Island. During World War II, they recruited a large number of workers from North Korea and China, and many of the workers were deceived.
The Japanese inhumanely enslaved this group of workers. Many workers were tortured to death. About 1,400 Korean workers died on Battleship Island.
The Korean people could not stand the whitewashing of Battleship Island. They filmed a real and bloody historical movie in the name of Battleship Island - "Battleship Island".
The movie "Battleship Island" is adapted from real events, but Japan itself denies it, believing that the oppression of labor is pure fabrication. After "Battleship Island" was broadcast, Korean netizens raised a total of 200 million to produce an advertisement - "Battleship Island is a Hell Island", and Play in new york times square .
The broadcast of the movie "Battleship Island" caused quite a stir in South Korea. Its popularity was equivalent to that of "Wolf Warrior 2". The center of "Battleship Island" is more focused on the hatred between the country and the family, and remembering the shameful history.
The men and women who came to work were separated. The men sneaked into the mines to work, while the women became comfort women and provided services to the Japanese.
Gas explosions often occur in bottomless and dark mines. The mines collapse and the Japanese force the workers to work day and night. One thousand meters underground and in a high temperature of 45 degrees, the workers are starved of food and pay. Too few.
Some people wanted to escape back to their hometowns, but failed many times. They were beaten to death after being captured, and some chose to commit suicide. The Japanese never regarded workers as human beings.
The above facts are firmly denied by the Japanese government. Nowadays, tourists who set foot on Battleship Island can not only see the beautiful scenery of the blue sky and sea, but also step on the souls of countless Chinese and North Korean workers.
Li Jiangyu, played by Huang Zhengmin, is a band leader. Because he seduced the wife of an official, he was also recruited into the labor force. He also came with his ten-year-old daughter.
Li Jiangyu is very good at flattery. He wanted to curry favor with the Japanese officer with a letter of recommendation, but the Japanese officer didn't buy it at all. When the camera turned, the audience understood what was going on. There were several letters of recommendation under the officer's feet. No. While doing business, he accepted the gift Li Jiangyu gave him.
Li Jiangyu himself became a laborer, and his daughter was taken away by an officer. Because his daughter was good at singing and dancing, the officer wanted to train Li's daughter into a tool and give it away. As a father, Li Jiangyu secretly tried every means to take away his daughter.
The emotional line between father and daughter in the movie is very touching. The father is very affectionate and has always had nothing to do with himself, but in the end he tells the truth in danger.
The gangster brother played by So Ji-sub is unruly. He became a supervisor, but what he saw was that his compatriots were bullied. He could only lead these compatriots to work... He was helpless and contradictory, and his final rise was destined. .
The comfort woman played by Lee Jung-hyun had a tragic fate in her last years. Before coming to Battleship Island, she was raped and abused by the Japanese. The Japanese tattooed her chest with a knife, leaving scars of shame. When she came to Battleship Island, she became a comfort woman again.
The happiest moment in the last years should be dying together with Qixing, falling in love, knowing each other, and finally dying together.
In the movie, National Husband Song Joong-ki appears as an agent. He lurks on Battleship Island and becomes a laborer in order to rescue Yun Xuechul, one of North Korea's presidential candidates.
During the rescue process, the agents discovered the account book in which Yin Xuezhe deducted the wages of North Korean workers. It turned out that Yin Xuezhe had been betraying his compatriots for money and deducting the wages of his compatriots.
Many compatriots failed to escape because he was the one who told the secrets. The leader who seemed to be a sanctimonious person actually cheated on them, which was really worse than a pig or a dog.
The climax of the whole movie is that the United States dropped the atomic bomb "Fat Man" on Hiroshima and Nagasaki, Japan. Workers on Battleship Island, only 15 kilometers away from Nagasaki, saw the moment when the mushroom cloud exploded. The scene was even somewhat beautiful, the atomic bomb Under the deterrence of Japan, Japan announced its surrender.
The Japanese began a massacre before leaving, killing all workers and destroying evidence.
They initially wanted to lure these workers to a place to blow them up, but the plan failed because of the exposure. In order to silence them, they became even more frenzied...
The movie "Battleship Island" uses little people as the protagonists. The audience sees the big from the small, and once again Picked up that cruel and humiliating history.
A ten-year-old girl almost became a comfort woman. The father risked his life to save his daughter. He watched his daughter dance rubber bands from a distance, and watched his daughter perform for the Japanese on the stage. Huang Zhengmin's eyes were full of drama.
The underworld eldest brother became the leader of the Korean labor force, bullying his own people, but in the end he couldn't beat the Japanese, and he finally woke up.
The leader with high prestige is actually the biggest traitor. He pretends to be the most knowledgeable, but is more vicious than anyone else in his heart.
Humanity is fully shown in times of crisis. This Korean theme movie does not have absolute good guys and bad guys (the Japanese officers are really bad), nor does it depict the image of a great man who understands righteousness. In a historical film, it highlights human nature even more , depicting the various expressions of sentient beings in crisis, it is more realistic. What is admirable is that the director dares to expose the true ugliness of human nature, which is very valuable.
The second half of the movie is very emotional and makes me cry, the soundtrack is excellent, the war scenes are great, the viewing experience is very good, and the ending song is very nice.
Regarding war and aggression, in times of peace we must always be vigilant and tell us not to heal the scars and forget the pain!
