The movie 'Negotiation', which deals with the Taliban's worst and unprecedented abduction of Koreans in conflict-affected Afghanistan, is about to be released. Let's go through the main points of 'Negotiation', a work that depicts the story of people running to save the hostages, not the story of the hostages. <Editor's Note>
[The Fact｜Reporter Won Sena] A kidnapping incident occurred in which Koreans who came to Afghanistan in groups became hostages of the Taliban.
Jae-ho (Hwang Jung-min), a diplomat who specializes in negotiations but is new to Afghanistan, arrives in the country and meets Dae-shik (Hyun Bin), an agent of the National Intelligence Service. A principled diplomat and a NIS agent well versed in local affairs. Although their positions and methods are different, they work together to rescue the hostages.
Based on the abduction of the Saemmul Church missionary group in Afghanistan in 2007, the theme of the movie 'Negotiation', which begins with the worst kidnapping in history, may seem provocative at first glance. However, 'Negotiation' focuses on the stories of those who went to Afghanistan to rescue them, not the kidnapped hostages.
The movie The Negotiations begins with the existence of those who are busy in Afghanistan to rescue the hostages and the question 'what process and difficulties did they go through to reach the negotiations?' Director Lim Soon-rye's quote, "The story must save lives because you are a citizen," explains the movie 'Negotiation,' focusing on the story of those who save lives rather than the dichotomy between the good and the evil.
The timeline of the 'negotiations,' from the kidnapping to the hostage rescue, became increasingly tight, starting with the 24-hour deadline first announced by the Taliban shortly after the South Korean hostage-taking.
Immediately after the kidnapping, the Taliban issued a statement demanding that the South Korean army withdraw from Afghanistan and release the number of Taliban prisoners equal to the number of hostages. Faced with the unprecedented situation, the response team, which includes the Director of Foreign Affairs Jeong Jae-ho, arrives in Kabul, the capital of Afghanistan, with the sole mission of rescuing the hostages before the deadline.
At first, they tried to release the Taliban prisoners through the official channel of the Afghan Foreign Ministry. Still, they could not seem to get their cooperation, which was more important than the Korean hostage issue. Diplomatically, none of the possible defeats worked, and the negotiation was a string of difficulties that could not be foreseen even an inch.

Faced with dilemmas such as the fact that the Taliban are unsure of what they want and the State Department's uncompromising principle that it cannot negotiate directly with terrorists, the negotiating team led by diplomat Jeong Jae-ho and NIS agent Park Dae-ho in the lead. sik only saves hostages, we try to negotiate by all methods and routes that can be found locally.
The deadline to kill is again extended, but the alternative they find is canceled and the hands of the clock spin mercilessly. The remaining time for the hostages is the time for the negotiating team to risk their lives to find the answer.
During the continuation of the 'negotiation' operation, how will they rescue the hostages, 'negotiation' is the final negotiation scene where they risk their lives for the hostages' lives in an unpredictable situation, where they had to make the impossible possible. It captivates the audience's eyes and ears with extreme suspense that makes you unable to take your eyes off it even for a second.
The story of the movie 'Negotiations,' fills the main skeleton of the details and characters of the negotiation operation based on the beginning and the end of the kidnapping and hostage rescue case, with a sense of their rescue mission lives like an engine.
And it promises a touchy experience for those who struggle to save hostages by adhering to the principle that they must save hostages. It also makes us rethink the reason for the existence of the nation and the value of life.
'Negotiation' is the first Korean film to show a strange land of chaos, Afghanistan, where people live. To set the movie 'Negotiation' as completely Afghanistan, except for some Korean scenes, the production team had to work hard to recall the negotiation activities in the film.
It was not possible to film on-site in Afghanistan, which was inaccessible, so we decided to go to Jordan, which has all the areas that fit the characteristics of Afghanistan and we succeeded in filming the following while overcoming many difficulties and obstacles. As a result, 'Negotiation' finished Afghanistan with a realistic production design that made it impossible to distinguish which part was Korean and which was foreign.
In this way, 'Negotiation' guides the audience through its duration to Afghanistan, which is desolate and rugged, but still has its vastness and beauty. The realistic richness of 'Negotiation' created by the coexistence of heterogeneous cultures and backgrounds is expected to become another viewing spot for moviegoers arriving in theaters on the 18th. next>
