A 9-member team is on a mission, but there are 10 soldiers in the photo! A detailed explanation of Korean horror film "R Highland"

Ghost movies have abused me all over Qian Qian. I treat ghost films like first love. Hello, everyone. I am a fork who only dares to watch horror movies during the day.

Korean horror movies have always been an embarrassing existence in Asia. They are not as classic as Japanese horror films and as bloody as Thai horror films (much better than domestic horror films, of course). For Korean horror movies, people generally have the impression that the actors are good-looking, the pictures are beautiful and the stories are not very strong. Although there are some good-looking horror films such as Ask the Fairy, The Mystery of the Woman, etc., they have made small achievements, but they still can't reach the height of horror films such as Midnight Bell.

In traditional cognition, many horror movies take place in hospitals, schools and abandoned villages, and the protagonists of the movies are weak women.

Soldiers have always been synonymous with masculinity and ruthlessness, and seem to have no intersection with ghosts. So what will happen if soldiers encounter paranormal in the marching mission?

Before talking about movies, the fork will tell you a real event that science can't explain:

R Highland is located on an island 80km southwest of Hu Zhimin. During the Vietnam War, the French army established sanatoriums and military hospitals here.

During the first Vietnam War, all the 12 French soldiers who fought alongside the Hu Zhimin army disappeared, and the reasons for their disappearance were unknown. After that, until the second Vietnam War, the number of missing French and American troops was as high as 650.

Time has come to the second Vietnam War. Nine members of the South Korean Tiger Force who fought in Vietnam disappeared in R Highland. In the following six months, the communication radio waves continued to receive rescue signals from the missing members.

In 2004, a Korean horror film adapted the real events in the R Highland into a movie, throwing a group of masculine soldiers into the "R Highland" in the supernatural restricted area. Among them, there is an extra soldier for no reason, which makes the plot of the film very scary. Fans have been arguing about the authenticity of this film. This film has also become the representative of the horror film in the military camp. It still makes people stand tall to mention it now.

Before it's too late, let the fork fork bring you this Korean classic horror film "R Highland" (also known as "romeo point").

1972 Vietnam War. Headquarters always inexplicably receives the distress signal from the wild donkey 3 team, but the only survivor said that all their troops had been killed in R Highland a few months ago.

The superior assigned Tie to investigate the whereabouts of the Third Wild Donkey Team. He led nine soldiers to land on the island where R Highland is located. Because the task is relatively easy, these men also took photos with great interest. Captain Tie called this team "vole team".

But it didn't last long. They were ambushed by Vietnamese soldiers. After a firefight, they found that the other party had been dead for many years, and the enemy with a sigh of relief was actually a woman, so they couldn't bear to do it and let the woman go. This woman's bracelet caught the attention of Captain Tie.

At the entrance of R Highland, they found a tombstone that read "People with blood on their hands will never return", and soldiers who were originally careless also peed on the tombstone.

Corporal Zhao, who is engaged in the funeral industry at home, told everyone that there is something wrong with R Highland, which is more like a place where ghosts live.

They finally found R Highland, an abandoned house. Captain Tie divided the team into two groups and searched around R Highland, but found nothing. The captain also accidentally saw a woman in a white tie.

The American soldier who came to replace the battery told Captain Tie that R Highland was very strange, and many French soldiers were missing here before and after. When he left, the US military told Captain Tie that he was not sure whether they would still be alive when he came back four days later.

Just after the American soldiers were sent away, the telegram suddenly received a strange message from the French army. A French soldier was looking for his younger brother. Captain Tie quickly told the signalman to hang up the signal.

The next day, everyone found a soldier hanging from the roof of the apartment. Captain Tie called to report to his superior, but his superior refuted that the soldier who had just died was one of the missing persons. Tie explained that there were 10 people coming here, but the superior told them that there were 9 people on the same line.

The dead soldier, they can't remember his identity details and appearance, and the communication equipment at this time can't contact the headquarters. They are all shocked.

Captain Tie found the woman in white again in the pouring rain. In the process of chasing, he suddenly found a tombstone with the name of his French brother he had heard in the telegram before.

Another soldier had an accident. Before he died, he grabbed the front and finally said "I'm sorry". Captain Tie saw the bracelet of the former Vietnamese woman on the brim of his hat.

Chen Hetie, the deputy team leader, divided into two teams to search for the missing troops again. Staff sergeant Chen finally found the wild donkey team members who sent the distress telegram, but they were already dead; Captain Tie also learned that the American soldiers he had seen before were already a group of shriveled bodies.

The two teams couldn't get in touch, so they had to go back to the apartment in R Highland.

R highland can't stay any longer. The communication equipment suddenly returned to normal, and a helicopter will be sent by the headquarters the next morning. All we have to do now is close the door and stick to this last night.

Chen suddenly knocked at the door, and a soldier, regardless, dissuaded Chen from entering. Before everyone came to their senses, Chen raised his weapon and hacked to death a soldier. Iron killed Chen, who was possessed by a ghost, on the spot.

There are more and more abnormal soldiers, spreading among the rest like infectious diseases, and everyone doesn't know who is a man and who is a ghost in the team. Captain Tie asked the soldiers to report their names and ranks one by one to confirm whether his men were still himself.

Several of them leaked clues and shot other members. One of them detonated the gunpowder and everyone was injured. The youngest soldier was even blinded by the explosion.

Just as Tie got rid of the soldiers possessed by ghosts, the woman in white suddenly appeared in front of Tie. Captain Tie knew that he would be possessed by female ghosts like other members. Before he lost his mind, he ordered the young soldiers to shoot themselves. With several gunshots, only the injured young soldiers were left in the big room.

The mission of the vole team failed, and the signal of the vole team asking for help from the superior came from the communication radio wave. They are calling the next wave of troops to R Highland. ...

This is the case.

1. Is there 9 people in the railway line or 10 people?

This is the most horrible source of movies. It is also the most controversial part of this film. Several photos of the vole team appeared in the film. As soon as several people landed on R Highland Island, they took a photo first.

After that, the director gave a lot of close-ups to the whole staff, and it has become 10 people.

The first person who died, even if it was revealed that he was a missing soldier, everyone once again recalled the scene of him taking pictures on the island, but there was 10 person in the film, and it was the inexplicable soldier who took pictures.

It can be clearly seen that this soldier is the fuse of the director's terror, and the long-dead soldier is the root of the team's mutual suspicion of each other's ghosts.

2. Is the sudden American soldier a person or a ghost?

It can be clearly said that the American soldiers seen by Tie and his party are ghosts.

When American soldiers met Captain Tie and others, they explained that they came back every four days, which was actually a psychological hint to Captain Tie and others, and also provided the last bottom line for the voles to expect to be left behind by the US military when they met ghosts.

After that, the voles found the bodies of American troops who had been dead for many years, and combined with suspicious lines such as "We can only come at night, but we can't fly in the fog during the day", it was tantamount to crushing the camel's last straw, and it was meaningless for the ghosts of American troops to reappear.

In fact, except for the US military, the protagonist and his party saw ghosts. The Vietnamese woman who fought fiercely when landing was Honky who later took her life.

At the end of the film, when the young soldier was found at dawn, why did the iron and other people's bodies disappear?

We can understand that the voles died in the gun battle with the Vietnamese army, but they just don't know it.

There is such a detail in the film that people find that the Vietnamese soldiers who fought with them have been dead for many years. The only surviving Vietnamese woman is also a ghost in white.

The final war between man and ghost is actually the reincarnation of a young soldier who experienced the death of his comrades and became a ghost again. When the next team comes to R Highland, they will also find the bodies of voles.

4. Are the wounded at the beginning of the film and the only young soldier who survived at the end the same person?

Actually, it is not. The wounded at the beginning of the film are the survivors of the wild donkey team; The young soldiers, as can be seen from their injuries, were injured in a large area and could not see anything, which also confirmed from the side that the soldiers who became abnormal died because they saw unclean things and finally died out of control.

When the voles entered the entrance of R Highland, the tombstone that read "Blood Stained People Don't Return" was telling everyone that anyone who killed anyone should stay here, and the young soldier who was an impostor was an egg-shaped recruit with unstable guns and had never participated in the battlefield to kill the enemy.

He really survived because he didn't kill anyone, which is also evidence that the director expressed the anti-war theme in profile.

Different from other female ghost movies, the most attractive part of R Highland lies in the setting of ghosts in the military camp. In the traditional impression of the public, soldiers have always been the patron saint of ghosts because of their masculinity.

The director has been creating suspense about whether the team is 9 people or 10 people. The protagonist's vole team is actually the tragic reincarnation of the victim's wild donkey team in the last round. During this period, no matter the communication radio waves broadcast for no reason or the sudden appearance of American soldiers, they are concrete manifestations of the supernatural phenomenon in R highland.

R Highland is a demon that induces soldiers to kill each other, and the director also attacked the destruction of human nature by war.

Different from other horror films, the film does not blindly pursue bloody and horrible sensory stimulation. It's more like a mystery novel, and it's really an excellent horror movie, because it's more relevant to the portrayal of characters and surrounds the fog in the R highland.

Of course, R Highland is not without its shortcomings. Because the characters are all dressed in military uniforms, the audience needs to carefully distinguish the differences between the characters.

The film ended early, and many details of the film were not decrypted, which made many viewers confused.

Compared with "Cruise of Terror" and "Silent Hill", which can completely express the parallel setting and the story frame of the outside world, the horror of "R Highland" lies in the difference in the number of people, and whether the protagonist and his party are really haunted has always been the focus of debate among the audience.

If you like this kind of haunted work involving "the shadow soldiers crossing the tunnel" and "the difference of the number of people", Chen Wenjing suggests that you watch similar movies "506 sentry" and "War Ghost".

A movie and a story, I am a fork, see you next time! ! !
