Recently - Escape - has just been aired, and after a period of airing, the audience's response to it was beyond imagination.The storyline of the play is extremely attractive, full of various plot turning points and emotional lines of the characters, which makes people unable to stop following it. Recently, there has been a discussion on the Internet about the movie - Escape - Plot Highlights: Escape from Purgatory in a Last StandIt can be said that there is a lot of discussion. Here are some relevant contents compiled by the editor for everyone.

《Escape》Escape is a Korean action drama film released in 2024. It is produced by the team of I'm Just a Taxi Driver + the screenwriter of Narcos Saint. The plot is described on the other side of the iron bars.The North Korean soldier Kei-nan, who dreams of a better life, and the security officer Xianxiang, who must stop him, desperately run away and pursue each other.The film is 94 minutes long and will be released in theaters in Taipei on August 2, 2024. The film has done well at the box office in South Korea. In the past, Lee Je-hoon has long expressed his desire to work with Goo Kyo-hwan, so it is very important to invite the two this time.I will be confirmed to star in this work soon.

“It is better to fight to escape from purgatory than to live a life that is worse than death!” is an important slogan of "Jedi Escape". It also tells about Kun Nan's desire to escape from North Korea and his last fight. The main point of the whole story is that Kun Nan has been looking for opportunities to escape from the many obstacles and thrilling difficulties in South Korea. This is alsoWhat makes this work so exciting and tense is that I think the team’s combination of Goo Kyo-hwan and Lee Je-hoon is really great!The acting skills add depth and interest to the plot ~ the whole movie is satisfying just watching the two actors play opposite each other!I have to say that - Escape - the naming of these two characters is really special. I think the screenwriter and director have used special ingenuity:

Let me talk about the conclusion first, - Escape from the Jedi - it is very beautiful and I highly recommend it to everyone!This is a completely different direction and story from the North Korean defection that I thought at the beginning. I really enjoyed the acting skills of Lee Je-hoon and Koo Kyo-hwan in this film, especially Koo Kyo-hwan's interpretation of the role of Xianxiang.It is very layered and deep. Like an onion, he will reveal the inner world of this character in every scene, and will not throw all the thoughts of this character to the audience to digest at once. Therefore, this special character never fails.The charm at the beginning, the rescue in the middle, and the pain at the end are all layered on top of each other, until the scene between him and Lee Je-hoon at the end is super emotional!

The whole movie has a moderate rhythm in the story, and the action scenes also have good camerawork and atmosphere. Although Escape is a typical North Korean defection story, it also includes the pull of friendship and emotional tension.Intertwined, so the movie is not purely about running and chasing, but rather an exploration of character relationships and past stories, and it will become very touching in the end!If you are already watching this movie, I would recommend watching it!I guarantee you will be deeply impressed by this chase story!

As for whether Escape is a real incident, I don’t think it’s anyone’s movie in particular. However, out of curiosity, I actually found out that a North Korean DMZ soldier, No Chul-min, really defected to North Korea, and thenExposing the hell and corruption of military life in North Korea ~ This is one of the [news] I found. Anyone who is interested can read it.Although this movie is not about anyone, the screenwriter and director accurately depict Ren Kunan's mood and situation in the plot, which is very cruel and realistic, and will shock the audience to the fact that this is really the case in the real North Korean army.~

Through the "Jedi“" in the title of the film - Escape from the Jedi, the director buried some plots between the lines and the plot to portray the sense of "purgatory on earth" here, the simple living environment, the trapped life, andThat sensitive dividing line that cannot be crossed, even the taboo topic of ”escape“ and the cruel consequences, the unscrupulous officers who did not care about the nutrition and lives of the soldiers (the officers also enjoyed all the wild boars caught by Ren Kunan).The screenwriter and director's portrayal of Ren Kunan's desire to escape is delicate. The director described ”human hell“ as a suffocating feeling of being imprisoned in life. Compared with the scene where Ren Kunan heard that he was from Korea and could eat fried chicken with his family,The situation that Ren Kunan is in is a kind of hell where life is worse than death. After all, even if he wants to eat meat, he is restricted by his superiors (compared to the freedom in Seoul where you can choose whether the fried chicken is original or spicy), this lack of freedom is very harmful to him.For a person, it is no different than death, so ”Escape“ may not be 100” successful, but in this environment full of restrictions and lack of freedom, if he lives for one more day, it is a kind of death.

In the plot, Ren Kunan’s persistence in escaping is a desire to save his life. Ren Kunan’s motivation for escaping is his “dream”, but I think it should be explained that this is a kind of pursuit that “doesn’t want to see the future”. As portrayed by the director,It is not only the torture and purgatory in the North Korean army, but also the "psychological desire for freedom" to escape. The director of the film content and scenes specially presents Ren Kunan's childhood wish was not to be a football player or to become rich, but to have adventure%.Ren Kunan's character in this film is an important core concept that threads the needle, and it is also the main discussion topic between him and Li Xianxiang in the plot. Ren Kunan's escape to South Korea may not necessarily make him happy, but at least he can be happy because of hisChoose to fail rather than be directly determined to fail.

Kunan: “Why do you decide my future?”Now think: “Is it you who decides your own future?”“For the freedom and happiness of the people”The slogan here in North Korea is both ironic and sad, but what Ren Kunan feels is heavy “restrictions” and “no future”. The appearance of Li Xianxiang actually subverted my expectations of the plot., because he and Ren Kunan knew each other (the two were actually good friends when they were young), but Li Xianxiang's current status and official position are higher than Ren Kunan's. It can be seen from his words that Li Xianxiang's every word and every sentence is “Pride and control, contemptuous words, he saved Ren Kunan's life and even made Ren Kunan a hero in the eyes of others. In fact, this move not only conveyed his past love for Ren Kunan, but also satirized the corruption in the North Korean army and the ability to determine a person.The unshakable status of life and death (because Li Xianxiang had already known from the pen that the escape map was made by Ren Kunan).

Although Ren Kunan was promoted, it seems to be a kindness to Ren Kunan, but this is a kind of irony of the country using military power to oppress the people and the people at the bottom of society. Totalitarianism is what Ren Kunan wants to escape most in the desperate escape.Blind loyalty to the leader and the party is a paradise only for those who can enjoy good fortune and good fortune, but such a power position is ironically a position stacked by those poor people at the bottom (just like Li Xianxiang can only be loyal to those at the bottom)Ren Kunan's defection is handled according to the case, so that he can continue to be appreciated by his superiors and father-in-law and improve his status). This is the contrast between Li Xianxiang and Ren Kunan in the plot. Ren Kunan's desire to eat meat and be free is actually very small and ordinary., but it is also the most difficult to be ordinary.

《Jedi Escape》The climax of the whole movie is the last thirty minutes. Li Xian wants to command the pursuit with elegance and calmness, and the pursuit becomes increasingly out of control. It is revealed that Li Xian's desire to hunt down Ren Kuinan is not as simple as a deserter!From the scene when Song Jiang called Li Xianxiang, it was revealed that Li Xianxiang actually likes boys?!But in fact, I am not very sure, - Escape from the Jedi - In fact, this is just the end of the list, because the two may have a friendship, or just a relationship based on the piano and have a memory ~ So Li Xian wondered if it was because he once likedKunan, that’s why you want to dissuade Kunan from going to South Korea?Judging from the ending, I would be more inclined to think that the two are bound by a true friendship.

Therefore, the whole plot is pulled forward, and the representative significance of Li Xianxiang helping Ren Kunan in Ren Kunan's defection case is completely reversed. It also deconstructs the fact that Li Xianxiang was tortured in this militarized living environment with only rules and classes.The imprisoned one, because he actually knows that his future in North Korea is very limited. In order to survive, he can only become the son-in-law of a military commander so that his life here can be better and more dignified, but in his heartHe was never free.

Li Xian would like to tie Ren Kunan to his side. From my interpretation, I feel that he is very fragile and does not want to lose this dependence. Whether it is his love for Kunan or brotherhood, he isRen Kunan's move to get promoted and his words to persuade Ren Kunan to quit and not escape and go to South Korea were actually the love he couldn't say out loud.Li Xianxiang initially felt like he was chasing a little mouse that he could completely master. This drama is definitely the one where I saw Goo Kyo-hwan's acting skills explode. His acting skills are very much like sowing onions, and he is becoming more and more popular.When he couldn't catch Ren Kunan, he fell in love with Ren Kunan more and more. Li Xian obviously wanted to have many opportunities to shoot Ren Kunan, but he seemed to hesitate and even avoid fatal injuries.

Even in the ending of Escape from the Dead, I think Xianxiang's shooting skills were very accurate, but several shots missed, and they didn't hit Ren Kunan's fatal position. This was all Li Xianxiang hoped that Ren Kunan would change his mind.Hint, because in a certain part of his heart, I think he also agrees with Ren Kunan's dream of doing whatever he wants. It is just because he does not have the courage to follow Ren Kunan due to his status, so he is unwilling to do so.I want to catch Ren Kunan back.The character of Kim Dong Hyuk sets off the loyalty and kindness of Ren Kunan. Ren Kunan will never abandon Jin Donghyuk because of his backwardness. Of course, in the ending of "Escape", the death of Jin Donghyuk was also the result of the director letting Ren Kunan see him.Possible endings. I really like the scene in the final minefield where Ren Kunan ran away without looking at the map he drew. According to my own interpretation, this symbolizes that he has no time to hesitate. It should be said that thisIt shows Ren Kunan's determination to go to the south. Furthermore, Ren Kunan said "I decide the way I die". This sentence shows that he would rather die because of the path he took than to be killed.Decide” that he is a loser.

In the ending, we can actually see that the original idea and desire for “adventure” was what Li Xian wanted to give to Kunan. From another perspective, it means that Li Xian actually agrees with Kunan’s arguments and ideas, - Escape from the Jedi -Li Xianxiang's mind in - is complicated. Compared to Li Je-hoon, I think Goo Kyo-hwan is a more difficult character to interpret in this work. The whole hunting process is full of his inner drama, which left a deep impression on me.There is a scene where the troops in Shangli failed to catch Kun Nan, and then Li Xian wanted to explode and become the captain of the army. In this scene, Li Xian wanted to be in tears but angry. Such complicated and intertwined emotions are very common in this movie.Great mood!Therefore, I also admire Goo Kyo-hwan's performance in this work, and I also appreciate the screenwriter's ability to portray this character with such depth and richness. It also shows that the reason why Xian desperately wants Kun Nan to stay in North Korea is because he has no courage in his heart.I also don’t want to lose the kind of support that Kun Nan brought to my heart in the past.
