黑色共和国

Charged with leading demonstrations for the democratization movement, student activist Kim Gi-young (Moon Sung-keun) is a fugitive from the law. He sneaks into a mining village on the verge of being shut down, with a fake ID in hand. Feeling frustrated with the current state of activism, which centers around the intelligentsia, he gets a job as a man-of-all-work at a coal factory and meets the motley inhabitants of the mining village. Dae-sik (Yang Jin-yeong) works to support his family in place of his father, who is in prison for instigating a strike. Detective Kang (Lee Su-chan) always keeps a sharp eye on everything that goes on in the village. Then there are strike organizer Cheon Do-seong (Kang Neung-won), fellow worker Jeong (Hwang Hae), Taek's mother (Kim Kyung-ran), and Sun's mother (Jo Ju-mi). Sung-cheol (Park Joong-hoon), whose father is a local bigshot and the owner of the coal factory, lords it over the neighborhood bars and cafes. Angry at his father (Park Kyu-chae) for leaving his mother and marrying another woman, Sung-cheol vents his resentment on the cafe girls and factory workers. Meanwhile, Young-sook (Shim Hye-jin), who works as a prostitute at the local cafe, is becoming fed up with Sung-cheol's violent and demeaning treatment of her. When she meets Gi-young, who is reserved but warm, she begins to have feelings for him and stops selling sexual favors. As the impending miners' strike darkens the horizon, Gi-young and Young-sook fall in love and enjoy each other's company. Then one day, Sung-cheol receives news of his mother's death and wreaks havoc at the cafe. When Young-sook refuses to satisfy his demands, he starts to beat her up. Gi-young tries to stop him, but his intervention brings him to the attention of Detective Kang and he is hauled off to the police station. Gi-young undergoes torture at the hands of the police, but he is eventually cleared of all charges and released. When he finally comes to through Young-sook's devoted care, he tells her that he is a wanted fugitive. His identity is soon exposed and he is forced to run once more. Young-sook decides to leave the village with him, and heads to the cafefor her things. While making her last coffee delivery, Young-sook runs into Sung-cheol, who tries to stop her from leaving. She ends up killing him, and is dragged off by the police as Gi-young waits for her at the train station.

自由在同一片天空下传播，美好伴随着灾难，灵魂无处可逃。火种随闪电在黑色之中旅行，未来的人才看得见那道光亮。卓越的创作意识，文本与影像中都露出了锋芒，拍摄水平实在跟不上。文根英平淡中预示着风暴。那段消音的逃亡记忆是压抑忧郁的蓝色，在荒芜现实中格外扎眼。完整但是草率。三星半

煤炭是黑色的，却能带给人类光明和温暖；可生活是黑暗的，明天就会变得光明吗？或许那只是个难以实现的希望。底层人民的生活在什么时代都是悲苦的。片子的感觉很原生态、现实主义，有点像贾科长电影的感觉。

这时的韩国电影可以很深刻，但拍摄能力还没到井喷期。

贾樟柯类似的场景 拍摄手法 实在不是我的菜 昏昏欲睡

“不管我们今天叫什么，变化已经开始，消失的是今天的黑暗，更灿烂的明天是活着的人，今天的黑暗就是希望”。韩国新浪潮，朴光洙现实主义力作。“光州事件”的余伤，反抗国家支配的意识形态，捕捉底层劳动人民的现实

逃亡者和风尘女的悲凉人生，彼此的相拥止如萍聚。在乌烟瘴气颓败堕落的现实之中，对真善的渴望沦为奢望进而幻灭于无望。结尾处的警灯和站台，生生框定了两人的结局。让人慨叹。

因為這部片知道了韓國八十年代的那場民主運動... 片末那句革命特征的口號 讓不同階層的人們混集在動蕩的魔爪之下

“消失的是今天的黑暗，更灿烂的明天是活着的人，今天的黑暗就是希望”；矿工、妓女、弃儿、凶杀、政治运动，韩国的现实主义。
