Politicians and lies are regular subjects in films and plays.
Recently, the film ‘Honest Candidate 2’ was released based on this.
Actor Ra Mi-ran, who plays the role of Joo Sang-suk, the main character in the film, can no longer lie.
I can’t say anything like polite words, so whenever I open my mouth, my honest feelings come out.
However, a politician saw the film and left a comment, which became a hot topic.
Kim Jin-tae, governor of Gangwon-do.
Governor Kim evaluated that the story of the protagonist who was defeated in the National Assembly election and was elected governor of Gangwon-do was similar to his situation.
He also said that the setting where the main character, Joo Sang-sook, cannot lie is just his story.
Governor Kim In such a film review, film officials could not hide their embarrassment.
Person A, who identified himself as a film distribution manager, said that he was being attacked by terrorism because of Kim Ji-ji’s job and complained of the pain of death.
He added that this film was filmed while he was a former governor, and that there are people who get caught up in the success of the box office.
After Governor Kim’s review was posted, netizens complained about the connection between the film and Governor Kim in the film’s comments.
There was also a backlash from the audience, such as leaving comments that they would not watch the film and would give it a low rating.
As for the controversy, the film distribution company acknowledged that the employee who wrote the message was the distributor, but took the position that it was only the employee’s personal opinion.
He also said he hoped the film itself would be enjoyable.
Was the promotion of Governor Kim’s film a good thing or a bad thing?
He seems to have taken an interest in the film.
The honest nominee, which started with number one in the audience on the first day of its release, still takes the highest position at the box office today.
Audiences who have seen the film show reactions such as ‘The comic index is great’ and ‘The actors have good breathing’.
People who have seen the film have this idea.
“Reality is more of a comedy”
“A timely film at a time when an honest politician is needed.”
Although it is a caricature of a politician, this film presents the necessary qualities of a real politician.
Shouldn’t real politicians think seriously about the meaning of laughter felt by the audience?
