Name of the movie you are reviewing: Along with the gods 2: The last 49 days

Along with the Gods: The Two Worlds (A Death World) is a bomb bombing series of charts in South Korea and Asian countries. With the theme of Hell quite familiar, the film has created something new by building 7 floors of extremely special sin. Not only that, the emotional element from the humor and affection of family and friends also helps the work to impress in the audience.

Review:
Following the resounding success, the second installment, Along with the Gods: The Last 49 Days, has been released. After going to theaters, the film "reset history" of the kimchi box office with millions of views in just a few short days. A series of continuous records being crushed is a testament to the attraction of both the content and techniques of this trio.
The content Along with the Gods: The Last 49 Days continues right after the events in the previous section. After the firefighter Kim Ja-hong (Cha Tae-hyun) is reincarnated, his younger brother Kim Soo-hong (Kim Dong-wook) gets his "Pure Soul" card. But due to breaking many rules of the Earth, the lord Yeomra (Lee Jung-jae) forced Haewonmak (Ju Ji-hoon) and Lee Deok-choon (Kim Hyang-gi) to arrest the Sung-ju Family ( Ma Dong-seok) - who broke the world to help a civilian family.
Meanwhile, Captain Gang-lim (Ha Jung-woo) is forced to prove that Kim Soo-hong is unjustly dead, otherwise the Guardian of the Guardians will lose all the right to reincarnate and power. Trouble arises when Sung-ju reveals he knows the group's past 1,000 years ago - something that Yeomra erased for some mysterious reason.
Compared to the first season, Along with the Gods: The Last 49 Days has the appearance of Family Sung-ju. Having been a Guardian under Yeomra, he decided to go to earth to protect humanity. Because of the orphaned fate of Heo Hyun Dong (Jung Ji Hoon), the god broke the precepts to help the two grandchildren. Not only that, Sung-ju also used the money to clear their houses to invest ... stocks. From here, a series of humorous situations and expensive business lessons from Gia gia "fuzzy" appear that make viewers laugh.
Contributing to a series of super products such as Train to Busan (2016), The Outlaws (2017), ... Ma Dong-seok left an impression with a dusty, cool-cool appearance but extremely humorous and worthy personality. to love. The role of Gia Gia this time is not too new, but it continues to bring a lot of laughter by the 1,000-year-old mind but still gobbles in the stock business. Not only that, his role also attacked a series of issues in Korean society today such as the division of rich and poor, corruption and environmental destruction.
In addition, the Guardians also have a clear personality change compared to the episode before their past is gradually revealed. If Haewonmak is a genuine "young buffalo" when whining and doing before thinking, 1,000 years ago, he was the most brutal warrior in Cao Ly, or Gang-lim is a general with many secrets. dark secret and Lee Deok-choon is the guardian sister for the orphans in the war
The change of image not only helps the cast show their acting talent but also shed tears through wrenching situations. As a fate, their fates overlap and create numerous knots. Through Sung-ju's narrative and Gang-lim's recollections, the 1,000-year storyline takes place throughout the main film sequence with countless unexpected episodes. Since then, the three separate seemingly connected stories are ingeniously and emotionally connected.
Technique is another highlight of Along with the Gods: The Last 49 Days. It seems that Koreans have poured all the essence of cinema into this most spectacular blockbuster. Spending no more time exploring the Floors as the first movie, the series offers a slew of beautiful close-ups of the main cast. From the eye-catching duel phase to the grand scale battles are all extremely cared for. In particular, the film also proves that Korean cinema is not inferior to Hollywood when creating dinosaurs not inferior to the Jurassic World blockbuster 3 years ago.
The movie stars actor Ma Dong-seok (The Train of Life and Death, Hound, and the Muscle Guy) as an ancient Guardian, who appeared before Gang-lim, Sung-ju. Sung-ju quickly won the hearts of viewers because he was cool but almost had to pretend to be weak to live on Earth. He and Hewonmak were the main humor in the first third of the film. The story of Gang-lim's past life is all witnessed by Sung-ju about telling it later. Through Sung-ju's story, the buried secrets are gradually revealed, leading viewers to go through many emotions ranging from sad, happy, sympathetic to surprising and anxious to find out the ending in the story.
An interesting fact is that despite having a duration of more than 130 minutes, every scene, every dialogue, every action in the movie is not redundant and feels like that is not enough to tell everything to be told. . Like the first part, some gates were passed quickly, even some gods were not allowed to reunite with the audience. This is a bit of a pity because many other fake people will still look forward to more than your accusations and defense.
Constantly removing the knots in the second half of the film is what makes the difference compared to the first part and thus the dramatic level also increases over time. It's a great and somewhat reckless innovation for writers and directors. Remember, during the climax at the end of the previous part, it took away a lot of tears from the audience thanks to the extremely emotional conversation between mother and daughter Su-hong in the witness of Ja-hong. That is the factor that made a deep impression on the audience and greatly contributed to the success of the film. Returning to the latter, as mentioned earlier, the film does not continue to build a similar scenario anymore but chooses to follow the way of creating a series of small events and then stitch them together to thereby creating an audience in a more unconvincing situation at the end of the film.
The unfinished lesson about hatred and forgiveness will continue to be conveyed to the audience. In addition, the film also incorporates a number of smaller but equally deep and impressive messages, saying Sung-ju, “Humans are inherently not bad, only bad circumstances. A simple sentence has a tremendous awakening effect. No matter how bad we are in life, ultimately, being a bad or good person is our choice. 49 The Last Day ends with a happy ending that makes everyone happy, the offenders besides being punished are finally forgiven, showing the film's main message.
Special effects are invested spectacularly. The majestic scenery where the deep forest is covered with white snow, the battle between the two armies reaches up to tens of thousands of people, the fights with the magical slow motion effect or the tigers and deer are able to now very honestly not inferior to Hollywood blockbusters. The lively sound, especially Yeomra's quiet and resounding voice, exuded the majesty of a lord.
It's rare for a series to have a better sequel than the previous one, but the Last 49 Days excelled. With the second part released, I am confident that the film will have more and more people interested thanks to the creativity of the production team. This is a very good premise for the third installment and hopefully it will be the last to close a journey that has brought too much emotion of the Guardian Gods.
