The trailer of South Korea’s latest anti-Japanese blockbuster "Harbin" was released for the first time. This is Hyun Bin’s look in the film.





The film is directed by Woo Min-ho, who has directed the highly rated films "Insider" and "Ministers of Namsan", and is considered to be a film with a highly anticipated theme and a strong cast.South Korea's blockbuster movie of the year.

The film recreates the event in 1909 when Ahn Jung-geun, a famous independence activist in the modern history of the Korean Peninsula, killed Ito Hirobumi, the President of the Japanese Privy Council and the first "Governor-General of Korea", here.

Hyun Bin plays the role of Ahn Jung-geun.



The film is scheduled to attend the Toronto Film Festival in September this year for its world premiere and will be released in South Korea in the second half of the year, but the final release date has not yet been determined.

Director Woo Min-ho is an expert at bringing political themes to the big screen.



Woo Min-ho, who had previously successfully filmed the crime action film "Insider", single-handedly helped Lee Byung-hun, who was also labeled as an idol at the time, become the best actor.



Afterwards, the two successfully collaborated again in the political film "The Ministers of Nanshan".

The film's story is set in 1979 and tells the story of an assassination. The film only captured a part of the documentary work, telling the story 40 days before the incident, but the names of the characters in the film were changed, and ideal imagination was incorporated into some of the plots.

Lee Byung-hun played Minister Kim in the film, and because of this role, he once again won the title of Best Actor.



Hyun Bin probably wanted to follow Lee Byung-hun's path of transformation by taking on this movie and this role. He wanted to completely bid farewell to the label of idol at the age of 41 and embark on the path of being a talented actor, which is the best choice for mature male actors.



The movie "Harbin" tells the anti-Japanese story of a group of independent heroes who left their hometown and went to Harbin in 1909 to fight desperately to regain their homeland which was about to fall into the hands of the Japanese Empire.

This time, from the role to the appearance, Hyun Bin can be said to have been reborn.





In the trailer, Hyun Bin is the absolute protagonist, and many scenes and shots are related to him:

A lonely figure in the snow, a serious look on his face wearing a top hat on a train, and a figure hiding among a group of soldiers, ready to take action...







In addition to Hyun Bin playing Ahn Jung-geun, other leading actors include Park Jung-min, Cho Woo-jin, Jeon Yu-yun, Jung Woo-sung, Lee Dong-wook, Park Hoon, Kim Hae-sook, etc., bringing together a group of well-known actors.

The film was shot on location in Latvia and Mongolia. In addition to a large number of snowy shots, the trailer also includes shots of train bombings, giving it a blockbuster feel. It is reported that the film's director of photography is Hong Kyung-pyo, who has directed "Parasite" and "Snowpiercer."







According to relevant information, on October 26, 1909, An Jung-geun (Picture 1 below) sneaked to Harbin, disguised as a Japanese, sneaked into the train station, and waited for the special train carrying Ito Hirobumi (Picture 2 below) to arrive at Harbin Railway Station.

Afterwards, Ahn Jung-geun rushed out of the welcoming crowd, raised his pistol and shot at Ito Hirobumi. At that time, there were 8 bullets in Ahn Jung-geun's pistol, and he fired 7 bullets, including 3 shots at Ito Hirobumi, causing him to die.





Ahn Jung-geun was arrested on the spot and later handed over to Japan by Russia. He was sentenced to death by hanging by the Japanese court the following year. Ahn Jung-geun was called a "patriotic martyr" and a "righteous man" by North Korea and South Korea respectively.

According to media reports, on January 19, 2014, the opening ceremony of the Ahn Jung-geun Memorial Hall located at the Harbin Railway Station in China was held.



Korean films have always been sharp and daring. In recent years, they have been keen on political themes, and many historical events have been brought to the big screen.

This anti-Japanese film "Harbin" will also premiere at the international film festival. I wonder if Hyun Bin's transformation this time will be recognized?



Look at the line in the trailer - "I must kill the old wolf."

Dare to shoot, and you have taken the first step towards success.
