Review:
Zombies are a familiar subject in film history, even for Asian countries like Japan, Hong Kong or India. However, Train to Busan is only the first major Korean work to take the mainstream.
At this time, a normal train leaves from Seoul to Busan. The passengers on it were unaware of the danger approaching them, until infected people suddenly appeared and attacked from passengers to flight attendants.
The film focuses on the journey of a group of passengers on the train of death, when they must find a way to survive before the zombies can only bite and kill, spread the disease.
If expectations of Train to Busan are a new step, a breakthrough compared to the many zombie movies ever produced worldwide, then the audience will be disappointed.
As the first blockbuster movie of the Korean film on the theme of zombies, director Yeon Sang Ho decided to choose a safe path when making a zombie movie that is most loyal to the early ideas of the body. this kind. He is not greedy to find ways to include the breakout factor but focus on promoting the very basic traditional values.
The story in Train to Busan is very simple and familiar, based on the classic zombie motif: focusing on an isolated group of people, having to find ways to survive when the zombie pandemic strikes. The film is set primarily on a rolling train, with passengers and flight attendants trapped inside with moving zombies.
The story in Train to Busan is relatively simple, not picky, but very effective.
Choosing a simple story is a wise decision by Yeon Sang Ho. From that basic foundation, he built a coherent, detailed and concise script.
Every event, every action of the characters in the film takes place naturally, rationally, not in a hurry, lengthy or lengthy. There are almost no redundant details in the film and the whole script is calculated very carefully.
This is the most outstanding advantage of Train to Busan if comparing the movie with the works in the same line in the world. From the sure script, director Yeon Sang Ho continued to create an even, engaging and dramatic rhythm continuously until the end.
The audience will be forced to focus on watching every second of the movie, because every moment is worthwhile and closely connected with each other, creating a continuous emotional circuit.
Another feature of the zombie movie series that Train to Busan focuses on is the darkness inside each person in the battle for survival.
Passengers on the death train gathered many different objects: Seok Woo (Gong Yoo) - a busy father, and his young daughter (Kim Su An) are on their way to Busan to meet their wives. separated.
A funny couple with his wife (Jung Yu Mi) who is pregnant. A group of innocent high school students with their two students (Choi Woo Shik and Ahn So Hee) are in love with each other.
An arrogant director (Kim Eui Sung) is always bossy to others and only takes care of himself. An old woman who always helps others, is accompanying her sister to visit relatives ... All create a miniature social picture with all kinds of people inside the narrow train.
The inner darkness of every human being is exposed when they are present in the battle of life and death on the zombie-filled train of death.
The focus of the film is not only on fighting the crazy zombies, but also the battle between people. When disaster strikes, human nature is clearly revealed. Train to Busan has been very successful in expressing the psychological nature of each character, thereby creating necessary and reasonable conflicts.
In the movie, it's hard to judge who is the complete villain. Each person has his own reasons for his actions. No matter how selfish or cruel it is, they are just trying to survive.
Viewers understand and sympathize with each character, each action, each of their changes, even with the most cruel. That helps create the maximum authenticity for the film, helps viewers stick closely to the character, maintaining the attraction until the end.
Train to Busan has a very interesting and dramatic action. The action scenes are mainly chasing scenes, fleeing swarms of zombies. They are made meticulously, although not as monumental as the Hollywood blockbusters.
In addition, director Yen Sang Ho also sought to increase the reality by minimizing the fighting ability of the characters in the film. They are just ordinary people, bare hands, almost no significant defensive skills.
The action and psychology are cleverly integrated in Train to Busan.
Therefore, when faced with the army of aggressive zombies, they can only flee, or find ways to deceive them with cunning. The stages when the character seeks to pass the carriages flooded with zombies with cleverly executed and clever tricks, making the audience unable to hold their breath.
But not only the action scenes, Train to Busan also brings many emotional moments. Not only is it stressful to watch the character group trying to escape, viewers also see many humorous details that are skillfully installed in the lines.
In particular, the tragic feelings appeared at the time of separation, when the audience had to witness the characters they were watching carefully turn down in the battle of survival. Those sacrifices can be to protect others, it can also be to protect one's beliefs or humanity. But they all leave special impressions and emotions to the audience.
Another highlight of the movie is the impressive character system. Each character in Train to Busan is built very honestly and skillfully, with unique features, only through a few brief description. All have a certain acting ground, no one is inferior or exhausted than anyone.
The most successful thing is that director Yeon Sang Ho has been able to connect the emotions of the audience with all the characters. Audience empathetic with each person, watching them through each challenge until the end of the film.
The characters in the film are very cleverly built by the writing team with different striking personalities.
The audience will surely remember the funny, fat San Hwa (Ma Dong Seok), afraid of his wife but full of bravery and gentleness, and his pregnant wife, but very strong and tough.
Or the main character Seok Woo (Gong Yoo), from a heartless, somewhat selfish father, now becomes a responsible and reliable person when death is near. Each character is a memorable little story in the film's overall storyline, closely linked and in tune.
It can be said that Train to Busan is an excellent work of Korean cinema in 2016. It is not surprising that the film won big in the domestic market with more than 10 million moviegoers after nearly three weeks of screenings.
Social class satire is shown near the beginning of the film, when the director expresses contempt for the poor, only to receive the innocent but conscientious answer of a child. Or as in another scene, Seok Woo said to him, "At times like this, you should just take care of yourself.", But then slowly he realized that it was wrong. The protagonist himself also experiences a psychological development along the way, from a selfish investor to someone who dares to give himself up for others.
Not so noble, most of the others let their greed live out of reason and humanity. The movie seems to portray the truth: zombies are not monsters, people are monsters. The way the characters scare away their fellow men makes us even more afraid of the cowardice in their minds. The emotional suppression can make the audience burst into a scene later with the bold handling of director Yeon Sang Ho. In fact, social conflict is also the subject of many of his previous works such as The King of Pigs, The Window or Seoul Station (considered an unofficial part of the Life and Death Train).
Besides Gong Yoo, actor Ma Dong Soek is equally impressive. In the main role, Gong Yoo depicts the image of a father who is always engrossed in work, until the disaster shows his full love for his children. The actor of the Prince Coffee Shop has the look to play a businessman and his acting is also round. Meanwhile, Ma Dong Soek impresses when he transforms into a loving husband and wife, depicting conflicts to protect his family. The experience of a real-life martial arts master also helps the actor show his punches. Not handsome but certainly his character is the type of man that women will love more than any "marshal".
Besides, must also give many compliments to the actor playing the villain. How to build this character leads the viewer emotions from beginning to end when arrogance pales, then instinctive greed for life leads to infinite cruelty. The supporting roles create many colors for the film such as two older sisters, beggars or a student couple. The minus point of the film lies in the character of the child who is somewhat blurred, passive throughout the duration.
Many details are quite cheesy in the movie. As a product of kimchi cinema, the Song of Life and Death does not lack situations for crying. This style is typical and appears in both historical and dramatic films (Time Renegades, Snowpiercer). With the Train of Life and Death, sometimes it made the rhythm of the movie dragged and the ending was not broken. The motif "sacrifice to save each other" has been repeated many times, so the end of the movie is more predictable. Even so, overall the scenario remains fairly tight from start to finish.
