The King of Dying Smoke Episode 158

Interlude Masterpiece and the Last Companion (19)

When Director Penelope saw it, was truly problematic.

More precisely, it was an item that had nothing but problems.

When she saw the final roughbone, she wanted to faint.

“Who the hell likes movies like this!!”

First of all, there was a problem in dealing with Saladin.

The setting is that the hero, who is considered one of the three greatest heroes of Islam along with Muhammad and Ali, burned the holy sites and massacred hundreds of thousands of people. There must be a reason in the story, but of course there is no way Muslims will like it.

It was like starting by cutting the audience into pieces.

Is it just that? There were also problems with the handling of Richard I.

At first, he is portrayed as a dependable adult who helps the young man who is the narrator, but he begins to show strange foreshadowing, and eventually reveals his face filled with madness, revealing him to be an even more crazy person.

His faith is straight because it is twisted. The madman, who has spent his entire life on the battlefield, considers the glory of the new ‘crusade’ to be God’s grace and proof that he cares for him.

Both heroes are crazy.

But the ending goes even further.

The self-destruction of the countries that participated in the crusade and the secret plans and plots of the countries that did not participate ultimately resulted in a real war, not a crusade in name only.

And, in the midst of all this, Rupert, a young man who was supposed to gain enlightenment through his role as Richard I’s mentee, dies in vain.

The reason New York burned was not the temple.

It is a simple war of desire.

But—what is the difference between them in the first place?

[You are holy! Holy is He! Holy is He!

Lord God of all worlds!

The glory that fills heaven and earth!]

Rupert sees his hometown as if it were hell and hears sounds that are close to hallucinations.

Then he asks Richard. Why do you think New York was the first place you arrived?

The madman chuckles and answers.

[Are you asking for words? Isn’t York the new name? York originated from the Kingdom of Yorvik, and its previous name was Evoracum.]

[Don’t you know? Where was Galahad looking for the Holy Grail?]

[The Lord has given this Richard a new Holy Grail!]

With those words,

Rupert eventually closes his eyes, visioning the world burning.

“So who likes movies like this!!!”

Inside the studio on opening day, Penelope hit her head on the table.

Penelope felt like she was about to burst into tears.

That too, boom boom.

“Why did this happen! But it was okay until the middle part!!”

It wasn’t bad!

The actor captured your attention well, the action scenes were still worth watching even though they were a bit crazy, and although the setting was a bit off-putting, it could have been just like a normal action movie!

Why do you have to come up with such a crazy ending!!

And, the idiots’ answer to that was very simple.

They shrugged and looked at each other.

“… “How did it happen?”

“… … .”

“Well said, actor! That’s exactly what I wanted! Breaking away from Hollywood’s suffocating factories that standardize down to every single screw, you can move the wheel just because it’s fun! “This is the real thing!”

“The interpretation that Shim Yu-hyeon is Richard I, a faithful and just collaborator, is somewhat different… .”

Second, you can just go shoot an independent film!

Lastly, you can tackle the Robin Hood story first!

And the first one dies!

But time passed whether she fussed or not.

Basil Papadopoulos began his broadcast gloomily.

“The critic review was just updated. Tomatoes… “It’s rotten.”

“ah… .”

“The posted rating is… They are 2 and 3 out of 10, respectively. Yang and Grant… They are all famous critics… .”

“iced coffee… .”

Penelope lowered her head in despair.

finished.

It’s all over.

The movie has already been released, and there is no way to turn back. Now, the reward for recruiting Kang Min, who took all kinds of unreasonable measures, will come.

CAE’s board of directors would not leave her alone right now.

She lowered her head and waited for retribution to come… .

“huh… ?”

It was then that Basil made a sound of confusion. Everyone turned their heads, wondering what was going on.

He rubbed his eyes with a puzzled expression.

And then the broadcast continued with a stutter.

“Two… More updated. 8 points and 9 points in that order… .”

“… ?”

“Bradley and Kelly… These people are also famous critics… ?”

Penelope looked up and had a confused expression.

But he didn’t look as embarrassed as Basil.

Before long, his phone started buzzing as if he had a tic disorder.

“Gilbert and Hopkins… “1 and 2 points.”

“Ah, it was a miracle after all… .”

“Watt and Schultz, 9 and 10… .”

“… yes?”

“1 point, 1 point, 10 points, 10 points.”

“… ?”

“9 points, 1 point, 10 points, 1 point, 10 points, 2 points… .”

“???”

what.

Is the site broken?

Basil and Penelope blinked and exchanged blank looks. Maybe I was still in a dream.

But that escape from reality didn’t last long.

Soon, reactions started pouring in from all directions.

* * *

(Something ugly that can’t be called a movie)

(Can’t even call it a story)

(Experiment, Impact, Deconstruction, and God)

(Severe criticism of self-proclaimed believers)

(Would it be a masterpiece if only the last part were pedantic?)

(At least, we cannot help but acknowledge that Richard I, played by the actor, is great, violent, evil, and heroic at the same time.)

(A very, very intense action scene. I’m not sure about the rest, but wouldn’t smart people judge it on their own?)

(It looks like Saladin will resurrect from Limbo and try to grab the director by the collar.)

(The purpose of this movie must be to criticize the idiots who think Saladin is in limbo.)

(Perfect actors, heart-pounding action, and ‘What the fuck is this!’>

(There is no such thing as a holy war. Humanity is still not free from this natural proposition>

(Fuck you, outdated nihilism, destroy more tanks!)

(I didn’t understand even half of it. It’s a great movie.)

(I don’t even know the half of it. It’s a mess!)

(The moment the actor raised his eyes, I realized he was none other than the old Lionheart King)

(A great movie that will offend Christians, Muslims, and people of all other religions)

“?”

“???”

“uh… .”

“Uh, friends? “What kind of situation is this?”

It only took half a day for the world to fall into chaos.

As always, the public who tried to reserve tickets after seeing the critics’ reviews were perplexed.

As always, the people who were planning to hold the festival were even more embarrassed, thinking that it had all been ruined.

That’s right, there was absolutely no middle ground in the evaluation of this crazy movie.

The distribution table provided by the site was filled with scores between 1 and 3 and 8 and 10 in real time.

Conversely, it meant that the area between 4 and 7 was empty like Muju Gongsan.

It was literally an unprecedented situation.

Everyone couldn’t help but be embarrassed.

“Uh, so… So what are you talking about? It’s neither a masterpiece nor a failure… .”

“There is a big difference in likes and dislikes?”

“In what world are likes and dislikes like this?”

“Well, if you count it, which one has more bad reviews?”

“Critics like Bradley and Schultz gave it a 10? “Aren’t they very picky people?”

“Uh, um, so… .”

The public was devastated.

However, I can assure you that I would not have been as devastated as the critics who put my name forward.

Their score was literally full of all kinds of agony.

To the extent that people who live in such a good taste put their heads together and even held small gatherings in various places.

“First of all, so… . First of all, the story development is a mess. “There is no disagreement there, right?”

“hmm.”

“Well, there was no answer… .”

One thing is that the story development and twists and turns are a failing grade.

Up to this point, all critics were in agreement.

“Next, the actor is like a monster. “I’m sure there’s no disagreement here, right?”

“hmm.”

“I got a little goosebumps… .”

Two things, the scene where Richard I reveals his true colors and the subsequent appearance of a maniacal warmonger, leave no room for bad reviews.

Up to this point, all critics were in agreement.

… The problem was as follows.

“Then the next question. “Did this movie intentionally try to dismantle the story, or did it just fail?”

“Electronic paper.”

“Anyone can tell it’s the latter.”

“… … .”

“… … .”

The situation where we could glare at each other with lobster eyes did not last long.

All the self-respecting critics started slamming the table and yelling.

“Is ‘that’ what you meant? “You have to sound like a horse!”

“What can’t be said?”

“Ha, as a senior critic, I can say this! “This was just a case of filming and failing!”

“You mean we filmed ‘that scene’? Look, Henry Fyan is not a moron! “He knows that if he just adds something similar to the story to the mid-game anti-tank action, he’ll get a lot of positive reviews!”

“I know, but why didn’t I do it!”

“That’s why I didn’t do it!”

“That’s it!”

Big and small disputes broke out everywhere.

And in the meantime, the ‘common sense’ that Penelope once cried about only made the confusion even greater.

Really, if we look at common sense, it would have been more profitable at the box office to crush the story before and after and emphasize the battle between the chariot and the human horse as a spectacle.

Of course, the ratings would have been much better. Because there is no critic like an idiot who criticizes the story of because it is nothing special.

However, went that way and created that ending.

That was the reason why opinions were so wildly divided.

“If that’s the interpretation in the first place, is the mid-action scene necessary?! If ending like that is the theme, then this scene is as good as not having it! “It’s just a shallow ploy to grab the audience’s attention!”

“No! When we think of a crusade or a holy war, what do we think of? Richard and Saladin, the Pope and some bishops, and a few knights like Renoni Balian and Guinea, right? “I’m being sarcastic about that, this!”

“I agree 100 times! On the contrary, we can finally connect because that scene existed. The heroic war continues, people die, and what a great holy war has been fought—isn’t this the ending?”

“Oh, by the way, dream interpretation is creative at this point! Take action!”

“There is no such thing as dream interpretation! Isn’t that why I mentioned the ‘Star of Bethlehem’ in the first place?”

“I bet they just put it in because it looked cool!”

“If you’re going to call it a critique, put it out there under your name! “It’s a relief if you don’t get scolded or treated badly!”

“what?!”

Moreover, when it came to the reason for including the young Rupert, the interpretation of “The Star of Bethlehem,” and the various signs that director Shim Yu-hyeon simply added for fun, it was rare to find a consensus.

There was nothing to say about what happened next.

Not only were ratings polarized, but fights began to break out everywhere online.

SNS was suffering from fight broadcasts all day long.

and,

When things got to this point, people started to think blankly.

“Uh, I don’t even know what it is… Shall we take a look first?”

“huh… … .”
