“Killer: the girl must die” (The Killer: A Girl Who Deserves to Die, 2022, 18+)
- Kinopoisk: 6.6 .
- IMDb: 7.0.
Asians make films as well as Americans. Unfortunately, it rarely rattles the whole world like Hollywood films. The film “Killer: A Girl Must Die”, also known as “Killer Guardian”, is the creation of a film company from South Korea. The protagonist of the film is the handsome Ui Gang. He was once the most dangerous and famous killer, but this is long in the past. Now he leads a measured law-abiding life. However, everything changes after one request. It comes from his wife. She asks him to look after his girlfriend’s daughter while they are away.
The hero is not particularly pleased, but he fulfills the request. He will have to look after a seventeen-year-old schoolgirl for three weeks. It would seem that things could go wrong. The main character thinks the same way. Without further questions, he lets the girl go to spend the night with a friend. This is where the trouble starts. She is kidnapped by slavers. Ganga has to remember the past years and deal with the bandits. He prudently planted a tracking beacon on the girl, so it would not be difficult to find the lair of the kidnappers. He could not even think that a boring request at first glance would result in such an adventure.
The Quiet Girl (2022)
- Kinopoisk: 7.2.
- IMDb: 8.2.
As mentioned earlier, Hollywood is not the only supplier of new movies. “Quiet” is a film straight from green Ireland. The story is about a shy girl named Kate. She comes from a large and poor family, so she is extremely modest. Her parents sent her to stay with distant relatives for the summer. This is an elderly couple. They own a farm and have no children. The contrast between the atmosphere in the native walls and in the house of relatives strikes the girl. She is clearly very vulnerable, in need of love and support. But an exhausted mother and an irresponsible alcoholic father are certainly not able to give her this.
Throughout the film, the viewer observes what is happening through the prism of perception of a little girl. She understands what it means to be loved. How does it feel to feel warm, cozy and cared for. Before the eyes of the audience, the main character changes and gradually opens up like a most delicate flower. There is no dynamic plot development in the film, and there is almost no musical accompaniment. The atmosphere is created by the sounds surrounding Kate: birdsong, everyday noise, the voice from the radio – all this literally immerses you in this unhurried, kind and calm world. A great film to take your mind off the hectic reality.
