The name of Yeon Sang-ho<\/strong> It may not say anything to many, but surely things will change if I tell you that it is the director of ‘Train to Busan’. Lately he has been more focused on television – he was in charge, for example, of the staging of all the episodes of the first season ‘Rumbo al infierno’ -, but now he returns to the cinema with ‘Jung_E’.<\/strong><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Written and directed by Sang-ho, ‘Jung_E’ is a film that fully enters into the juicy theme of artificial intelligence, also being Netflix’s first great commitment to science fiction in 2023. Of course, this is a work that bets more on the emotional by placing the story of a mother and her daughter at the forefront of everything. The result is an acceptable tape but that never finishes squeezing the ingredients it uses.<\/strong><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

a bleak future<\/h2>\n

‘Jung_E’ transports us to the distant future, more specifically to the year 2194,<\/strong> in which artificial intelligence is being used to try to create the perfect soldier. What complicates everything is that the memories of a war heroine are being used for this and that her daughter is one of the scientists in charge of the project.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

This stimulating starting point serves as a way for Sang-ho to present us with a future that sounds more likely than any of us would like to admit, since there are already certain questionable aspects of today’s society that could lead to something like this. Out there he has a lot of cattle to catch the viewer’s attention, also raising some moral dilemmas that add more sauce to the movie.<\/strong><\/p>\n

However, everything related to science fiction interests Sang-ho more as a basis to explore the relationship between the characters played by Kang Soo-yeon and Kim Hyun-joo<\/strong>, with the particularity that ‘Jung_E’ was the great return to the cinema of the first after more than a decade away from the big screen. And I say it was because in the end it has become his posthumous film, since he died shortly after finishing filming after suffering a cardiac arrest when he was barely 55 years old.<\/p>\n

‘Jung_E’ never quite takes off<\/h2>\n
