넷플릭스 흑백요리사 미슐랭에 대해서

넷플릭스의 비영어권 콘텐츠 순위에서 한국 콘텐츠가 1위와 톱텐 안에 드는 것은 이제 놀라울 일이 아닌데, <흑백 요리사>는 또 다른 티핑 포인트가 될 수도 있다는 생각이 들었다. 일단 수치를 보면, 지난 9월 마지막주 시청수가 490만 뷰로 비영어 TV 콘테츠 1위를 기록했고, 영어 콘텐츠까지 합치면 TV 콘텐츠 중 4위를 기록했다. 사실 요리 경연대회는 한물 간 아이템이기도 하다. <아이언셰프>를 비롯한 무수히 많은 요리 콘텐츠가 쏟아졌던 미국에서는 더욱 그러하다. 넷플릭스는 오히려 데이비드 장과 같은 셀럽 셰프를 내세운 라이브 쿠킹 프로그램을 진행하면서 새로운 실험을 하는 중이라고 볼 수 있다. 근데 <흑백 요리사>가 그럼에도 잘 되는 이유는 일단 K푸드의 위세가 아주아주 크다는 이유가 있다. 직간접적으로 K푸드가 소셜미디어를 타고 얼마나 큰 인기를 얻고 있는지를 자주 이야기 해왔고, 얼마 전에는 친구분의 포스팅에서도 다음 K푸드는 순대국이라는 말씀에 곱창/막창 BBQ가 되지 않을까 농담 섞어 이야기해왔는데, 틱톡과 인스타그램에서 한국 음식의 무한 진화를 보고 있으면 이게 농담이 아닐 수 있다는 생각을 하게 된다. 이렇게 큰 인기를 얻는 흐름은 이미 늦어도 재작년부터 시작되었다고 볼 수 있다. 2023년에 특히 더욱 커졌고. 제작기획팀과 넷플릭스의 콘텐츠 기획자들은 이 흐름을 보고 있었을 것이라고 추정한다. 그리고 새롭지 않을 포맷을 있는 대로 스케일을 키우면서 화제성을 갖추게 만들었다. 미슐랭 쓰리 스타 셰프와 백종원 그리고 사람들이 그렇게 좋아하는 한국 (음식)의 대표적인 셰프들, 그리고 무려 아이언셰프에서 우승한 에드워드 리와 같은 요소까지 깨알처럼 챙겼다. 자, 보면 소셜미디어에서 온갖 이야기가 한국뿐만 아니라 한국 콘텐츠를 좋아하는 비영어권 국가들 그리고 심지어 미국 시장에 까지 퍼져나갈 수 있는 준비가 된 것이다. 사실 넷플릭스는 올해 들어 본격적으로 '가성비 콘텐츠'...

Maggie Q, Is it or ?

Maggie Q's One-Shot One-Kill <Killing Kind> Female action genealogy 



Organizing the genealogy of the action genre is not an easy task. Some film scholars refer to the first film shown in the world, The Great Train Robbery (1903) as the first action film, while others use the swordplay films popular in the silent film era starring Douglas Fairbanks as the beginning of action. also see Some define Bruce Willis' Die Hard series as the beginning of a full action movie. To this day, the history of the action genre is not fully aligned.

The same is true for 'heroine action' movies with women as the main characters. Female action movies appeared later than male-centered action movies, and their genealogy is a bit messy as they started with female heroes who worked in different genres. For example, there are records that consider Ripley in Alien (1979) as the beginning of a female action hero, while some scholars read Quentin Tarantino's Kill Bill as the birthplace of a full-fledged female action movie.


The way to select the most effective and reasonable 'sol' from various viewpoints is based on which movie (or series) has become a trend or phenomenon. In that sense, 2000 is a significant year for the female action genre. In 2000 alone, <Resident Evil>, in which Milla Jovovich plays an active role as a female warrior fighting zombies, <Charles Angel> with female agents as the main characters, and <Tomb Raider>, in which Angelina Jolie roams the jungle, were released. The franchise signaled. All of these films have been successful at the box office, continuing as a series to this day or reborn as remakes.


If we refer to these films as a genre (with women as the subject of 'action'), the female action genre has shown remarkable growth both in quantity and quality over the past 20 years. Since the 2000s, the number of female action films produced has been steadily increasing, and the intensity of the action has increased noticeably (remember Charlize Theron's one-take action scene in Atomic Blonde!). Another trend worth noting is that films with female killers as the main characters are predominant. <Kate> (2021), <Anna> (2019), and <Red Sparrow> (2018) all feature a skilled female killer as the main character, and show the process of tracking down the conspiracy behind their mission.


The movie <Killing Kind: The Killer's Disciple>, which was recently released on Netflix, is also a movie that was born in the trend of female killer movies. The movie follows the process of 'Anna', who became the disciple of the killer 'Moody', to avenge her teacher.


'Anna' (Maggie Q) loses her parents in a brutal way to a Vietnamese gang. A belated killer, 'Moody' (Samuel L. Jackson), arrives at her scene and decides to help Anna, who has nowhere else to go. Moody recognizes her natural talent as she sees Anna once mastered with her eyes and fully assembled with her guns to deal with the rest of the gang. Since then, he has raised her to be her best killer. One day, Anna witnesses the death of her only family member, Moody, and learns that his death has to do with the last mission he has done. The closer she gets to the case, the more she learns that Anna and she are behind a huge force. Her mysterious man 'Rembrandt' (Michael Keaton) appears in front of her Anna, and she is curious about her. However, in her unexpected place, he meets her Anna again as an enemy, and blocks her revenge.

<Killing Kind: The Killer's Disciple> (hereinafter referred to as 'Killing Kind') is produced by Martin Campbell, who specializes in action genres such as <007 Casino Royale> (2006), <The Foreigner> (2018), and <Edge of Darkness> (2010). This is the first female-led action film he has directed. It is also the second action film starring an Asian actor after <The Foreigner>. As a director who devoted most of his career to the action genre, the story structure of <Killing Kind> is 'skilled'. In the movie, Anna and Moody go beyond the employer-employee relationship and are seen as a 'daughter-in-law' relationship. Explain. Therefore, revenge at the risk of Anna's life does not put any strain on the story's development.


However, the relationship between 'Anna' and 'Moody', which can be said to be the most important setting in this film, must be said to be banal rather than savvy. As in the aforementioned female killer films, such as <Kate> or <Nikita> (even <Leon> if you consider Matilda as the main character), a 'similar father' character saves a girl without parents and turns them into killers like herself. The setting of nurture has been constantly repeated and reproduced for the past 20 years. The strong 'femininity' shown by the protagonists of these films was created and nurtured by a male master. What makes <Killing Kind> different from her previous works is the fact that Anna has an interdependent relationship with her father, Rembrandt, in addition to her absolute relationship with Moody. Rembrandt, who she encounters as enemies, constantly courts her Anna, recognizing the situation in which they must deal with each other. Anna also falls in love with Rembrandt while she fights for her life.


As a result, <Killing Kind> is heavily armed with an exotic background in Vietnam and quite impressive action sequences, but it does not deviate from the narrative frame in which Anna is subordinated (moody) or almost subordinated (Rembrandt) to two men. Starting with <Nikita> (drama version), <Mission Impossible 3> (2006), <Die Hard 4.0> (2006), <Divergent> (2014), <Fantasy Island> (2020), etc. have been in the action genre for a long time. It's even more disappointing that Catfish Q, who has been active, took on the lead role. In the film, Maggie Q shows a tough and sober side that is rare for her Asian female character, but she also symbolizes the key figures in the patriarchal relationship linked by the 'like father' and 'like husband' characters.


Nevertheless, <Killing Kind> is a work worth noting. Whereas in the past Hollywood movies used the Asian background to the level of exploitation or exploration with a white protagonist, this film adds 'fairness' by setting a Vietnamese girl as the main character beyond the background. This is true even if the scope is narrowed down to the female action genre. If Cambodia in <Tomb Raider> and Japan in <Kate> are reproduced as fantasy places where strangers, ‘Lara’ and ‘Kate’ roam, Anna’s Vietnam is the space to which she belongs and the practical space to restore her identity. will be. This is also a small step forward for this film considering the number of Asian (action) films that may be made in the future.
