When it comes to Korean school violence movies, which one comes to mind?
An adaptation of a true story directed by Hwang Dong Hyuk, the sensational "Melting Pot" that has caused you to suppress it all day long.
The movie "Princess Han", which is based on the real incident of sexual assault at school, makes people helpless and desperate.
There is also the classic Korean horror film "Sopranos Talk" series, which is both a critique of the high-pressure education system and a depiction of the problem of campus exclusion.
The above are all classics of Korean school bullying, and what we want to recommend today is a school "cold violence" movie. Sometimes a rumor is an invisible knife.
Title: "Elegant Lies"
The heroine of the film, Hyun-sook, works in a supermarket and raises her two underage daughters on her own with a meager salary. The eldest daughter, Wanzhi, has a rebellious personality and is cold; the younger daughter, Qianzhi, is well-behaved and sensible, and has a delicate and sensitive mind.
The family is incomplete, but it is also quite cozy. But what Hyun-sook and Wan Zhi did not expect was that Qian Zhi actually hanged himself and ended his life.
Hyun-sook and Wan-chi did not find Chi-ji's suicide note, the only clue is that In the morning, Chi-chi suddenly asked his mother to buy MP3s, and at noon he asked his mother to buy a beanie hat.
After Qian Ji's death, Hyun Sook and Wan Ji moved out of that place and moved into another neighborhood. The new home is close to the home of Qianzhi's classmate Hualien.
Wanzhi's classmate Meilan has a younger sister Meiluo who happens to be a classmate of Chichi, and Wanzhi inadvertently learns some information about his sister's life and begins to trace the cause of his sister's death.
It turns out that Qianzhi is isolated in school, and the only friend who can't be called a friend, Hualien, often bullies Qianzhi in the name of a friend.
The accidental death of Chichi's father and the spread of rumors are described as suicide.
Every year, the birthday party time is 2 o'clock, and it is deliberately written as 3 o'clock, so that other students can make fun of her.
The last MP3 that Qianzhi wanted to buy before he died was also a birthday gift that Hualien asked for.
With the exception of Hualien, Mei Luo used to be her true friend, and the two often happily drank afternoon tea and chatted together in the school garden. But because of a misunderstanding between adults, their innocent friendship was broken.
Later, through the mouth of the neighbor's uncle Qiu Shangbo, she learned that Qianzhi, who had excellent grades, did not like to read, but she knew that if her grades were not good, no one would believe what she said, and she would have a harder time walking.
She also often read books to overcome depression, so that she could do it the other way around, and others wouldn't find out she had depression.
There's one setting in the film that I really like:
- The secret hidden in the Red Thread Regiment.
Chichi wrote five copies of the testaments given to different people in five yarn balls.
The film is very realistic in the portrayal of character relationships.
For example, Her mother, Hyun Sook, who always looks indifferent, always inadvertently reveals her inner pain.
Sister Wanzhi, who has a high-cold posture with her hands in her pockets, whether it is her indifference, touch, or guilt, is so real.
There is also Hualien, who is always bad to Qianzhi, but is extremely lonely in her heart;
Qiu Shangbo, who has long hair, is a male version of Qianzhi who survived, and the large burn scars from his neck to the neck made him excluded, and he crossed this hurdle after transferring schools and growing long hair. And he is also the only "stranger" who can listen to qianzhi's psychological words.
After watching this movie, I really like the way my mother Hyun Sook and my sister Wan Zhi cope with life.
Hyun Sook: When fate leaves you with no choice, silently move to the neighborhood where the person who killed your daughter lives and go to her house to eat a bowl of fried sauce noodles. Two people have to live as fully as three.
Wan Zhi: My sister left, only to find out that she was an incompetent sister. Grow up in self-blame, and then guard his sister's reputation and prevent Hualien from becoming a second sister. Originally, I chose my sister to work and decided to go to a good university.
The film also has a few very classic lines:
1. "A potential murderer uses language to slander others, which on the surface seems to be praise, but the key word is slander. Invisible gossip becomes a murderous weapon, are you a potential murderer? ”
2. "An apology expressed verbally is only used when one can be forgiven." Accept an unforgivable apology, and your heart will not be able to stand it. For those who don't want to forgive at all, it's not okay. ”
3. "Even if you have the best cookie in your hand, as long as others are not interested in cookies, you are nothing." ”
Editor's note: There are too many hardships in life, face it positively, and after surviving it, you will find out how insignificant the straw that was about to crush you was.
