'Witnesses' Jung Woo Sung took on the role of the human rights lawyer

A human rights lawyer who enters the voices of those who are utterly unharmed within the bounds of the law enters a large law firm. This time, you have to represent the person who has the maximum in the frame of law. In a critical trial where he was promoted, he became aware of the autistic child, Kim Hyang Ki, who witnessed the truth, and shook again. I thought I had abandoned my beliefs, but I have confirmed my conscience. In this sense, the film Witness is also a work that asks about the beliefs and directions of life.   

Actor Jung Woo Sung took on the role of the human rights lawyer. Is a symbol of manhood slip between good and evil, I say the individual who threw himself on the grand narrative of violence and power ohrotyi he met with the audience. <Wandeuk a> <lie elegant> such as a hand held warm and distinctive visual look at the people and the world as a whole Han supervision. "I felt I was healed just by reading the script," he confessed.

"Janna is the starting point of the movie sunho compromise. People can live comfortably heart with its settlement will not ask yourself, meet the child that clear, like the fate eotneunde. Yet I grow geotyiji that. Prior to compromise himself saw at the world It is interpreted as a person who realizes through Zie and returns to his original life. " 

"I wanted to feel the warmth"

The main background of the film is the court and the whole area of ​​Gwanghwamun in Seoul. There is a large law firm with a lot of jobs. Though it is not directly exposed in the film, it is possible that the main absurdities of our society will come to light. Large law firms that defend consumers who have betrayed consumers, and lawyers who represent the interests of specific groups. The virtue of <Witness> is that such absurd reality elements permeate well into the human character niche. Jung Woo-sung also said, "I wanted to feel the human warmth."

"When I watched the previous work of director Lee, I thought that I was touching the prejudice of the underprivileged person in a small routine and sharing it without imposing a heavy topic. I think that it is really good and I want this society to change warmly Many bishops challenge themselves with their curiosity about the genre, and this bishop seems to be in pursuit of something entirely within his inclination.  

  
It is disadvantageous to the object to which he defends, but Sunho feels the truth through Ziu and even begins to support Ziu. The world may be advised to face the reality and point out that he is stupid. It was because of such a real problem that Shinho left his beliefs and entered the law firm. In the end, <Witness> can be defined as a human drama depicting the change and growth of a human being by wearing a court drama. Jung Woo-sung emphasized, "It can change if you are a person."

"It can be a story of growing up, thinking that a grown person can not change his values, but he has to grow up and lead himself in. We have been through an era in which we often compromised the social atmosphere and lost legitimacy, and that was taken for granted. I think we can ask questions about the legitimacy of the decision. "  

About adults who try

Effort, yes, Jung Woo-sung mentioned the possibility of shaking but at least trying to go to the right place. In the movie, Ji-woo's "Are you a good person?" Is also a fundamental question that can be thrown into the audience of the movie. We would have been a good adult in the Korean society where it was natural to live for profit. What is the condition of a good adult? He said, "The most basic ones, so it seems to me that a man who keeps words that would lose money if he gets out of his mouth at any moment is a good adult."

  
I decided to ask more specifically. In the media, Jung Woo Sung expresses the individual's values ​​and public opinion in the word "consciousness." In recent years, it seemed to openly reveal his own thoughts, but he was in fact trying hard not to deceive himself but to deceive himself.

As I mentioned in several interviews, there was a time when I was worried about the star that I got in my debut movie, Beat and afterwards. After starting to realize that it could have a bad influence on someone with his or her own work, he started to watch for indiscriminate violence and crime. 

"(Beat) (1997) is a work that gave me a lot of work, but the impact was so great, I told a lot of students that they saw it when they were not there, and there were 100 clubs that saw 100 times. (Cigarette brands)! ​​Motorcycle! ' There were a lot of students crying like this because I learned to smoke because of me and when I heard that I was hurt by a motorcycle because of me, I was not comfortable. 

The child had borrowed a high school building. I shot a cigarette while shooting, but in the darkness far away, 'Wow! That sounds cool. I do not know where to put my hand in the moment. Since then, I have not thought about filming anything, and it is still valid. When describing the wicked, I can think of human compassion, but I do not think it is good. As an actor, when I was worried about my work, it seemed like I had enough to worry about which direction the character and the story are heading. "

"Important changes are originally slow"

Enough worry is inevitably followed by time. Until recently, his usual philosophy of refugee problem, which has been a social and cultural aspect, has been obscured and consumed politically or as a one-off issue. They wanted a rational discussion room, but the criticism that had been skipped was poured out. He was dumb.

"If you have a hurdle in a conflict with society, you are often hurt, and it takes a lot of time to solve a big problem, especially if it is a social problem, you need to look at yourself with a little distance at first to change it. The Yemen refugee issue that came into Korea in May last year is not good or bad for the objection, it is a conflict of understanding, a difference of consciousness, and there is a part that I want to use it politically. 

A movie that is quiet but small but resonant. <Witness> Jung Woo-sung was not ashamed. It is time to meet his sincere heartedness through the film.
