Politics used as a cinematic device, Kingmaker deals with the relationship between two men with vastly different values and asks the audience questions about moral dilemmas.
The movie is set in the 1960s and 1970s, following a group of people who attempt to replace the dictatorship with democracy. Kim Woon Beom is a politician who insists on doing what is right, but he faces constant challenges due to his moral decisions. Seo Chang Dae, a naturalised North Korean, appears in front of Woon Beom and offers him help. With his great strategy, Chang Dae makes Woon Beom a congressman and then a presidential candidate. However, their relationship begins to falter as they clash with their ethical and moral values.Kingmaker 2022 full Movie Download.
The basic premise of Kingmaker’s plot is based on historical events. Kim Woon Beom and Seo Chang Dae are characters inspired by the late former President Kim Dae Jung and his PI agent Um Chang Rok, also known as the “fox of the presidential election.” The political tensions between the two and the people around them are like what I’ve read in my history textbooks. However, this movie takes a step further into what is beyond Korean history. While it draws the audience with the well-known historical events, it freely tells its story by altering the names of the actual figures who lived through the turbulent times.
This artistic freedom can be seen in the message Kingmaker wishes to convey. The conflict between Woon Beom and Chang Dae raises the question as to whether it’s acceptable or not to commit unjust acts to achieve justice. Throughout the movie, the director intentionally puts Woon Beom in bright light to visualize how he tries to do the right things with good intentions. On the contrary, he describes Seo Chang Dae using shadows and dark tones to bring out his personality, who does whatever it takes to achieve his goal. Just like the old saying, “the brighter the light, the darker the shadow,” Chang Dae’s desire to shine engulfs him and drags him into the darkness while Woon Beom ascends to a higher place and becomes more powerful.
