The screening, which took place at CineQ Sindorim branch at 7 p.m. on the 2nd, was successful with members of the Lawyers for a Democratic Society, a progressive legal expert group, and Lee Joon-taek, CEO of the film production company Papas Film, and Jang Jin-seung, CEO of Oscar 10 Studio.
After the movie's screening, Minbyun Chairman Yoon Bok-nam seems to be impressed by the people who did not hesitate to play their roles as soldiers or lawyers even in the era of barbarismIn the play, Jeong In-hoo (Cho Jung-seok), who argued with all his might to save Park Tae-joo (Lee Sun-kyun), and Park Tae-joo, who kept his faith as a soldier, drew sympathy. In particular, lawyer Cho Young-sun, who is in charge of the retrial of the late former Central Intelligence Agency head Kim Jae-kyu, a social concern, attended the site and added meaning. Lawyer Cho Young-sun introduced himself as "One of the lawyers in charge of the ongoing retrial case" and compared the actual case with the movie to convey the meaning of the work and his impressions on viewing it.
At the same time, Lee Joon-taek drew attention by explaining why he put Colonel Park Heung-joo (Park Tae-joo in the drama) ahead of Kim Jae-gyu, the head of the Central Intelligence Agency, in the movie, saying, `We focused on informing that there was a person like Colonel Park Heung-joo.' CEO Jang Jin-seung was also interested in the history of characters we didn't know, just like the movie's line that means `No one remembers the name Park Heung-joo.'He revealed the behind-the-scenes story of the plan, saying, "I wanted to draw people who were unfairly tried for other purposes of the new military, and were recorded in history as 'Kim Jae-gyu and a few others.'"
Finally, Lee Jun-taek recalled the time when he planned 'land of happiness'"About 15 years ago, a letter written by Colonel Park Heung-ju was circulating on the Internet. When I saw the letter, I began planning it." In addition, when asked why he gave the title 'land of happiness', I hope it will serve as an opportunity to think about what happiness we are pursuing. It meant to think in irony what kind of country the society we live in should be in order to become a country of happiness, and ended the screening by creating a meaningful time to think about the country of happiness we want.
In addition, the feelings of law school students who watched the movie at the group screening for Ewha Womans University Law School students on August 23 are also drawing attention. Students at Ewha Womans University Law School who watched the movie realize once again that democracy is not a given. I'll always think about what a real lawyer should be like", "It was a time to realize the importance of a fair trial againHe also gave his commitment as a preliminary legal professional, as in ", and I think the meaning of a movie based on the real story is not to edit only pleasant events like other movies, but to bring up things that the public did not know well, even if it was a truth that they were not proud of. It was touching to see the two professionals living according to their beliefs, and shared their views on the meaning of the movie.
'Land of Happiness' is a story of a secretary accompanying the intelligence chief who was involved in the assassination of the president by orders of his superiors and a lawyer who entered Korea's worst political trial by defending him. This film depicts the true story of Army Colonel Park Heung-joo, who was involved in the murder of former President Park Chung-hee on Oct. 26, 1979, and lawyer Tae Yoon-ki, who defended him. Cho Jung-seok, the late Lee Sun-kyun, and Yoo Jae-myung appeared, and director Choo Chang-min of 'Gwanghae, The Man Who Became King'7 Years' Night' took the megaphone.
