Director Cho Sung-hee’s new work Was released worldwide on Netflix on February 5th. A Korean science fiction film that packs the whole movie in space Is the first time. It means that this movie is not a movie theater, but a movie in which virtually everyone who will see it on a living room TV, monitor, or smartphone will suffer. In the first place Is a blockbuster film made for the purpose of gathering and screening numerous audiences in front of a large screen. All the elements that make up the film, such as story, character, music, shooting, style, and special effects, are aimed at a huge scale that is the first Korean film to try. Whatever unfolds in front of you, I recommend taking the first starting point of this film into consideration and viewing it. This is the first reaction of reporters.

It took a long time to meet a science fiction movie set in space in Korea. The reason that Seung-ho runs through space and collects trash from the beginning of the movie is very touching because it is set in a universe that has never been properly embodied in Korean movies. The universe depicted on the screen, such as the direction and movement of light in weightless space, the spacecraft floating in the vast universe, and the movement and speed of’satellite garbage’, is realistic and highly complete. By the way The advantage of is not just how spectacular the universe is implemented. ‘Cho Seonghee World’, which has been built for a long time since shorts such as humanity, paternal love, and solidarity, has been further expanded by meeting outer space. It is interesting to find the seal of Seung-ho Seung-ho and director Cho Sung-hee planted in every corner of outer space. Above all, the warm message of thinking and caring for future generations is still touching and has a long lingering effect. However, it is very regrettable not to see this magnificent and wonderful story in the theater. Cho Sung-hee’s world is too big for OTT to contain.

Series The generation who grew up watching the same 1980s-90s Hollywood blockbusters will most likely enjoy it. The vitality of the video movie (or’weekend’s masterpiece’) was perfectly implanted into the worldview of director Cho Sung-hee at that time, when watching a movie easily fueled the full and innocent aspiration. Various races and languages emerge and break down national boundaries. The main story is far from’Kookpong’, but I wonder if a production that makes space movies with this production cost is possible other than Korea.
You can just enjoy it as an entertainment movie, It is not difficult to read socio-political texts in. In particular, the direct contrast between James Sullivan’s’Good World’ and Taeho (Song Joong-ki)’s’good person’ promised to his daughter, Soon-i, reminds us of the landscape of a time obsessed with growth first. If you are willing to share your journey on a journey that is impressed by the birth of an alternative family using the excitement of adventure water as a driving force, you have no choice but to nod at the voice proposing the symbiosis of humanity. And what adds cinematic persuasion to stories that can only be heard innocently (though anyone who knows Cho’s previous work can guess) is the two children who rarely appear in trailers. “In space, there is no top and no bottom. From the mind of the universe, there is nothing to throw away and there is nothing precious,” said Kkotnim, which has a stronger power than’Nanobots’, and in particular, the lyrics of a song written by Cho Sung-hee and composed by music director Kim Tae-sung (also appearing as the last cookie) is included. Some scenes that appear are compelling to shed tears. Maybe karma-dong will cry too.

The long legacy of the Korean film industry was in fact realism. To be lowly, to be violent, to obsess over sex, to torment women, to seek salvation alone in confusion. Is a work that deviates completely from here. Commercial film debut From that time on, director Jo Sung-hee was far from this kind of realism. His cinematic world should be found in old Hollywood.
The clarity of the narrative, the emotional empathy, the pleasure of listening to familiar stories. The three aesthetics spoken by critic Otis Ferguson, who was active during the birth of the Hollywood studio system. It can also be applied intact. Is clear. In 2092, the earth was devastated, and the transnational company UTS completed a beautiful alternative space near the earth, but no one accepts it as a citizen. The composition of the good and evil confrontation is clear, and a sharp contrast is revealed from the screen to the crew of Seung-ho and the side of UTS Sullivan. Unlike the warm yellow sailors, Sullivan is in charge of cold blue. More than anything Is an emotionally easy to relate to. As the child appears, I want to confess that the hearts of the audience and Tiger Park also open up quickly, and that the moment Kkotnim, who accidentally boarded the space cleaner Seungri, bowed with the crew on his face in surprise. Is also a familiar story. In Korean movies, the universe is still an unknown space, but for nearly half a century, movie fans It is a space opera genre that has been familiarly seen in the series. Even the music is familiar. The xylophone-sounding movie music heard when Taeho first appeared is the same way Hollywood expressed the mystery of the universe with sound in the past.
Considering the process in which Cho Seong-hee, who showed a cruel fairy tale in his early work, has transformed into a universal and impeccable story, it seems that the recognition in the Korean film industry was soon in the cruelty. The world that Director Cho Sung-hee wanted to make true, he honed for 10 years, was a universal and familiar story. The reason I don’t want to disparage the world of his film is that the Korean film world needs at least one such writer. Cho Seong-hee may be the most prominent writer in the Korean film industry, where a large-scale movie fills the screen with hard people.

Romance fantasy, The final station of the world of Cho Seong-hee, following the noir fantasy of’Sci-Fi, is also the universe. I saw it with admiration. It is a visual of space science fiction that has never been seen in Korean movies. It is probably the best cost-performance movie ever in Korean cinema. I can’t believe that I managed to get this kind of output on this big budget. It’s just a pity that we can’t meet at the theater. The completeness of the video set in the universe is so outstanding that it is hard to find a precedent in Korean movies, and the sense of speed moving through the space is cheerful and fluid. The crew members who operate the space garbage sweeper Seungri are full and affordable, and the actors’ acting is cute and lovely. Above all, this movie is very easy, kind, and kind. As always in Cho Sung-hee’s movies Never forsakes faith and goodwill in humans. However, the story itself is familiar and safe. From the worldview to the way of development, adventure plays in numerous space backgrounds emerge. Pursues proven fun. Rather than a realistic representation of It is more of a cheerful and optimistic adventure story. It is not a story of heroes who protect the earth. It is a story of people who do not let go of hope even in the trash life, trying to become good people. Another fairy tale that contrasts clear values such as environment and development, girl and capital, innocence and desire. The result of amplifying the light and shadow of Cho Sung-hee’s film, not only the merits but also the regrets. The situation and concerns have become much simpler, the story has become even lighter, and the way of reproducing becomes more popular. An optimistic dystopia depicted by characters with children’s minds on an adult’s body. Honestly, it’s hard to like it or hate it like you watch it while enjoying it. There are moments that are transcendentally lovely, between the stories we always talk about and the visuals we haven’t before. If the end of the story was transcendentally cute The flower is transcendentally lovely. And Soon. Just thinking about it makes me cry.

It is very easy to look for movies or cartoons that show similar materials, characters, images and actions. You can name ten related movies within 10 seconds. A good genre movie can create fun and excitement by breaking and destroying certain forms and characteristics, but rather, it is made by repeating and keeping the given constraints and conditions well. That’s how many of the Hollywood genre films we love are made. The virtue of is that it has made good use of the characteristics of many sub-genre concepts of science fiction, such as space opera or cyberpunk, and the characteristics of movies (only at this level of production cost!) The world of director Cho Sung-hee’s work is a medium Starting from (2009) (2010), (2012), (2016), and has dealt with messages such as the minds of adults who want to protect children and the values that must be preserved in a broken world. this time Regarding, I would like to pay attention to the fact that the world of director Cho Sung-hee’s work was made solid by using solid and sophisticated devices such as VFX and SF. And the world audiences who will come into contact with Netflix will be obsessed with the fight.
