At the beginning of the film, a driver who was transporting goods was stopped and his staff said it was only a "foot-and-mouth disease" inspection. The driver accidentally killed a deer that suddenly ran off the road. As a result, the deer stood up in a strange posture, with white eyes and divergent pupils. Then the deer disappeared.
This should be the virus carrier who first appeared in the film, but the film did not explain why the virus was transferred from animals to humans. How did the virus spread to the car of the hero Xu (Kong You) and his party? Before the train to Busan leaves, a young girl (Shen Enjing guest, the star of "Sunshine Sisters Amoy") gets on the bus in a hurry and hides in the toilet, acting strangely and talking eloquently. Then the girl completed the "transformation" and bit the people around her. From her transformation, the whole train went to the abyss of perdition. ......
Why do zombies always give people thrilling experiences? This is about to talk about the "horror valley theory":
Horror Valley Theory: When the similarity between robots and humans exceeds a certain degree, human beings will suddenly become extremely disgusted with them, that is, even if there is a little difference between robots and humans, they will be very conspicuous and harsh. So the whole robot has a very stiff and horrible feeling, just like facing the walking dead.
There are many excellent elements in applying the "horror valley theory", besides zombies, there are dolls and ghosts (for example, the thriller directed by James Wan played dolls and ghosts to the extreme). Compared with the zombies in other movies, the zombies in A Trip to Busan are excellent. At that time, they were even selected as "the five most difficult zombies in the world" by online viewers, and tied with the zombies in World War Z. The zombies in A Trip to Busan made people feel unprecedented oppression because they acted very quickly and did not give the protagonists a chance. From the failure of The Walking Dead, it can be seen that zombies seem to be more popular with the audience if they run too fast.
Korean movies always seem to make people cry, and this trip to Busan is not unexpected. Although the film focuses on thriller and action, in the end, the hero jumps into tears before becoming a zombie to protect pregnant women and their children. Here comes the scary part: what would happen if the protagonist entered the tunnel with pregnant women and children instead of being infected?
If three people walk into the tunnel, all three of them will be shot by soldiers as zombies! Because if the hero is not dead, the girl won't sing because she misses her father, so the soldiers can't tell if they are zombies. I have to say that A Trip to Busan is an irreplaceable work in terms of overall situation and details, and it is no wonder that it can now maintain a high score of 8.3 in Douban.
