 PANDORA
This heart captivating film is considered as the first local film dealing with a nuclear disaster which is a
widely known topic in Korea. It’s none other than “Pandora” directed by Park Jung-woo.

The motion picture, featuring veteran entertainers Kim Myung-min, Jung Jin-young and Kim Nam-gil,
highlights a disaster at a nuclear power plant following a monstrous seismic earthquake.

It is a story about something that could occur if an earthquake strikes nuclear power plants in the
southern piece of the nation. In the motion picture, there is no emergency course of action set up. The
president is inept to such an extent that he has no clue about how to react to the disaster even with the
forceful executive. The No. 2 man is the genuine force and controls the Bureau. The leader and Bureau
individuals endeavor to conceal the episode and stress more over money related misfortunes than the
lives of regular folks.

The police are self-serving, as well. They care more for their own security and disregard the wellbeing of
the general population, putting the lives of the individuals who are secured in the calamity hanging in
the balance. But as you watch the movie fear and panic are the most evident emotions that people
express through their actions in which may be the reason why the police acted that way. These
situations would surely corner us in a thinking that we should first save ourselves and our love ones
despite our duty.

"Pandora" isn't a simple motion picture to watch. It loans an agonizing patina of this present reality
Sewol disaster that killed more than 300 individuals in 2014 which is also considered a disaster that
killed hundreds of innocent students and passengers just with a wrong decision of the captain of the
ship.

The egotistical commander and his team on the ship boarded a salvage pontoon, while advising
travelers to remain quiet. Thusly, they sat around idly for the travelers to be cleared from the ship.
President Park (past president of Korea) missed the brilliant time to safeguard the several travelers who
lost their lives.

"Pandora" helps the crowd to remember the troublesome difficulty the country suffered more than two
years back. Through the voices of individuals depicted in the movie, the directore doesn't avoid
condemning the government. The lines that embedded on my mind is what the prime minister said, "We
cannot risk the whole nation in order to save just a few lives." While a plant worker says, "They (people
in power) make the mess and now we have to clean it up."

In any case, this film shrewdly blends components of electronic illustrations and human stories, driving
the watchers to feel that the 136-minute running time isn't that long.
The catastrophe comes full circle right when the president, played by entertainer Kim Myung-min,
admits in a broadcast message "The country has no way to spare itself from the calamity," and requests
volunteers, who are fearless enough to hazard their lives to fix the splits in an atomic reactor, to help.

Conversely, power plant specialist Jae-hyuk, played by Kim Nam-gil, is a customary resident who fears
demise yet gets together the mental fortitude to spare his own family. The scenes, including the one
where Jae-hyuk is crying and saying, "I didn't do anything incorrectly to endure this sort of mishap,"
when he addresses his mom via telephone, are disastrous.

Toward the end, the movie reminds the crowd that Korea is first nation on the planet to have its
populace living close to nuclear power plants yet even at that, the country is going off course since it is
conflicting with the worldwide pattern in nuclear energy.

Different countries are shutting down nuclear power plants yet Korea intends to assemble more.

The film is important in that it brings cautions up in depicting the peril of calamity in incredible detail. It
likewise shows that even the individuals who live inside 100 kilometers from the calamity hit region will
be influenced once an atomic catastrophe strikes.

As in the Greek story of Pandora, the executive opens Pandora's container and discharges death and
numerous different indecencies to the world. With the exception of there is trust and hope that lies at
the base — for this situation Jae-hyuk's sacrifice.

In the end the movie is a big eye-opener for everyone. That there are limitations to our resources and
we should not exceed their limits for it will only place us in great danger. Second, greed for power and
money will not only lead us to our own downfall but also other innocent lives too. And the most
important of all is that it’s a human-made disaster, what we thought would be a big help to us can
someday be the one that would destroy us.
