The movie writers associated with MOVIE WALKER PRESS introduce three movies you should watch this weekend (using their own opinion and bias)!
“This Week’s ☆☆☆” is a serial project in which the MOVIE WALKER PRESS team introduces three video works they want you to see right now (in their own opinion and bias). This week, we’re featuring three exciting films: the latest in the Kingdom series starring Kento Yamazaki, a maritime crime action film starring Kim Hye Soo and Yeom Jung Ah, and a suspense drama based on an actual scandal.
Takao Osawa’s reproducibility has been raised to an even higher level… “The Kingdom: Return of the Great General” (in theaters now)
[Féach grianghraif]General Ouki, played by Takao Osawa, returns to the battlefield! (“Return of the Kingdom General”)[c]Yasuhisa Hara/Shueisha[c]2024 “Kingdom” Film Production Committee.
General Ouki is incredible! It was a work that could be called the peak of the “Kingdom” series. Previous work “Kingdom: Flames of Fate” (23 ) Develops a story that continues from the beginning. Although Shin defeated the general enemy Feng Yi (Ainosuke Kataoka), the real commander-in-chief of Zhao, Pang Xi (Koji Yoshikawa), known as the “God of War,” appeared in front of him and under siege Shinobu’s unit falls into a state of destruction in the face of that force. There is a bond between Pang Xi and Wang Ki, and the direct confrontation between the two is a major highlight.
With one swing of his giant spear, he can cut down a large number of enemy soldiers, and with just one word, he has an overwhelming presence that can lift the morale of his own weak soldiers. Although I knew he was a legendary general, there were almost no battle scenes in the previous three films, so when I saw him running through the battlefield vividly in this film, I thought, “Is he is this the High King I?” I’m sure the audience will be just as excited as Shin and the others. The battle with Pang Xuan is even more intense, and the vibrations of the horses are blown by the impact of the two shooting spears on each other on very realistic horses. No matter how many times he was injured, he stands proudly like a statue of King Niou, with a smile on his face, just like General Ouki in the original comics. Takao Osawa’s reproducibility in his role has been praised since the first film, but this work takes it to an even higher level. In addition to the battle scenes, he emotionally expressed his kindness and trust towards Nobu, his loyal people, and Teng (Tou/Kaname Jun), and perfectly summed up the size of the royal knight. I want you to see the biggest battle in the series, the bravery of General Ouki on the big screen! (Writer Yoshihiro Hirao)
A quick look at the twisted minds of people…”Smuggling 1970″ (now in theaters)
“Smuggling 1970” depicts a huge battle involving the smuggling business.[c] 2023 THE WORLD MORE ENTERTAINMENT AND FILMS R&K. All rights reserved.
This is a fast paced film that shows people’s conflicting ideas about primitive “smuggling” in their vintage Ama divers to collect foreign goods thrown into the sea from a ship parked off the coast of an abandoned port town. Drama.
Director Ryu Seung-wan continued to make energetic and meaningful social action films, such as “Veteran” (2015), in which a high-ranking detective confronts a wealthy conglomerate, and “Mogadishu: 14 Days to Escape” ( 22), which is based on a true story. But the solidarity of tough women is shown in a fun way, set to retro music. Do not miss the charismatic action of Jo In-sung, who plays the role of a dangerous and sexy smuggling tycoon who stands in front of actors such as Kim Hye-soo and Yeom Jeong-ah, who are known not only from movies but also from dramas.

A terrifying, arrogant battle… “May December: The Truth” (in theaters now)
“May Christmas” is based on a true incident between a 36-year-old woman and a 13-year-old boy.[c]2023. May December 2022 Investors LLC, ALL Rights Reserved.
“May Christmas” is a term used for couples and marriages to mean the age difference between parent and child. The film is based on the 1996 scandal known as the May incident between a female teacher and a 12-year-old student. Gracie, a 36-year-old woman who was sentenced to prison for having an affair with a 13-year-old boy, gave birth to a child with him while in prison. calmly However, it has been decided that the incident will be made into a film, and the town is in turmoil when the famous actor visits the model couple.
At first, the relationship between the woman being played and the woman playing the role seems to be conflicting, but the woman who doesn’t show her true feelings seems to be pretending to be a happy version to herself. The actress does not miss any of her little signs, and gradually both become. Julianne Moore, who pretends to be a small-town celebrity, and Natalie Portman, who embodies the acting ability to reveal a person’s true nature, create a terrifying and brutal disguise. Romance or crime? Today, the seriousness of sexual harm to young boys is finally being recognized as an issue. Director Todd Haynes does not bury the past and examines it from different angles. (Film writer Aki Takayama)
