“Arang”--有趣但存在不足
转自宋允儿吧
新电影“Arang”的主题取材于韩国民间最盛传之一的“阿娘传说”，并用现代人的方式将其发展为惊骇和恐怖的混合体。电影保留了原有传说中关于悲伤鬼魂的冤情这一要点，这个被大家熟知的传说很适合改编后搬上屏幕。而电影在一系列悲惨的意外事件的背后给观众提供了一些线索，它试图引起他们对侦探游戏的兴趣。
但是，电影在故事发展上存在一些缺点，对于惊骇与恐怖情节的衔接，处理得并不是很成功。
传说故事发生在North Kyongsang省Milyang的一个小镇上，当地的地方长官一个接一个离奇死亡。这一系列的事件发生之后，一位年轻而勇敢的地方官被派遣到这个小镇任职，他调查出这些地方官接连死亡是因为一个女鬼常常出没去折磨他们。并且他了解到这个女鬼其实是想要找人帮助她。她是一个贵族家庭的女仆，被贵族家的一个儿子强奸并杀害。这位年轻的地方官最终抓获并处罚了凶手，同时也将女鬼的尸体安葬好。
在电影里，这位勇敢的地方官由暴躁的女刑警舒英（宋允儿饰演）取代，她负责调查这一系列的杀人案。在与她的助手一起调查这宗案件时，她发现那些被谋杀的人在死前都收到来自同一个寄件人的邮件。舒英和她的助手点开这个邮件进入到一个名为“Min-jung的食盐仓库”的网页。调查显示，这些受害者是相识的朋友，而且他们都涉嫌十年前的一起强暴案，他们中只有一个人被监禁。这四位朋友在一间食盐仓库强奸了一位叫“Min-jung”的女孩，女孩的男友想阻止他们，却被打死。但是这个神秘的连环杀人案仍然未能完全解开，Min-jung的鬼魂总是伴随着另一位小女孩的鬼魂出现。电影进入到一个全新的阶段，舒英自己被强奸的悲惨回忆与Min-jung的悲痛总是交叠的出现。
总的来说，这部电影本身是一个有趣的尝试，在惊骇与恐怖的电影氛围上，它营造得较为成功，也有一个令人满意的结果，但是，如果它能更细腻更有组织的架构并得体的揭开事情真相，也许会更好。

‘Arang’ Interesting But Falls Short
By Kim Tae-jong
Staff Reporter
A new movie ``Arang’’ takes its main theme from one of the most popular Korean folk tales, ``Arang Tale,’’ and develops it into a mixture of horror and thriller with a modern touch.While maintaining the gist of the original tale, about the agony of a sorrowful ghost, the familiar tale is suitably changed for the present. As the film offers its audiences clues behind a series of tragic accidents, it also attempts to invite them to an interesting game of ``whodunit.’’
But, as the film has a few flaws in story development, it ends up getting stuck somewhere between an unsuccessful horror and thriller.
In the original tale, county governors die strangely, one after another, a few days after taking positions in a town in Milyang, North Kyongsang Province. A young and brave governor who is newly dispatched to the town after the series of mysterious deaths decides to investigate and finds out that they were killed by a female ghost who haunted them. Yet, he learns her visit was to ask for help in settling a grudge.A maid for a noble family, she was raped and killed by one of the sons. The governor catches and punishes the murderer and has her body buried properly.
In the film, the brave governor is adapted into a tough female detective, So-young, (played by Song Yun-a), who investigates a serial murder case. While tackling the case with her partner, she finds that those murdered received e-mails from the same sender before they were killed. So-young and her partner link the mail to a blog, `Min-jung’s Salt Storehouse.’ The investigation reveals the victims were friends and involved in a violent death 10 years ago, but only one of them was jailed. The four friends raped a girl named Min-jung in a salt storehouse, and when her boyfriend tried to stop them, they beat him to death. But the mystery regarding the serial murders is still unsolved as Min-jung’s ghost is always accompanied by the ghost of a little girl. And the film enters a new phase as So-young’s tragic memory of being raped is revealed and overlapped with Min-jung’s sorrow.
Overall, the film is an interesting attempt in itself and it could’ve produced a successful result satisfying both horror and thriller film buffs, but only if it had a slightly more well-organized buildup and tactful revelations.
