From 'The Witch's' Monster to a Mother in 'The Great Flood': Kim Da-mi's Latest "Crazy Acting" Is Here!

 


From 'The Witch's' Monster to a Mother in 'The Great Flood': Kim Da-mi's Latest "Crazy Acting" Is Here!


Do you remember the high school girl laughing innocently while covered in blood in the 2018 film 'The Witch: Part 1. The Subversion'? The arrival of this "monster rookie," Kim Da-mi, was nothing short of shocking.


Seven years have passed since then. Kim Da-mi, who has consistently swapped faces from a sociopath to an ordinary office worker, returns with her most unfamiliar look yet. It's the Netflix film 'The Great Flood,' released today, the 19th!


Born in 1995 and turning 30 this year, Kim Da-mi chose not a sweet romance, but 'motherhood' amid a disaster where the Earth is submerged in water.


1. The Cold AI Researcher Becomes an Instinctive 'Mother'

The film traps the audience in a narrow space: an apartment building slowly being submerged on the last day of Earth, struck by a great flood. Here, Kim Da-mi plays 'Anna,' a cold AI researcher who evaluates everything in the world based on data and logic.


The film throws her a very difficult task:


"The most rational scientist must exercise the most instinctive motherhood to survive."


The mother Kim Da-mi portrays is not the finished mother figure we often know who unconditionally sacrifices for her child. She is a person who learns what love is, piece by piece, as she struggles desperately to save her child in the rising waters.


2. The Sociopath from 'Itaewon Class' Learns Love Again

This aspect of Anna strangely resembles Kim Da-mi's past filmography. Just as the sociopath who didn't know emotions learned love after meeting Park Sae-ro-yi in the drama 'Itaewon Class,' she once again portrays the waves of emotion delicately in 'The Great Flood.'


A disaster situation with more rough breathing than dialogue. Yet, Kim Da-mi's uniquely subtly trembling eyes resonate louder than a hundred words.


The process of her gaze, which seems dry on the outside, gradually changing to desperation as she looks at her child in moments of crisis. Kim Da-mi shows the pinnacle of acting, hiding emotions behind a poker face.


3. From a Destructive Force to a Saving Force

The survival instinct from her debut work, 'The Witch,' has also revived. If back then she fought to kill enemies, this time she swims and tumbles in the water to save her child. The force that used to destroy has transformed into a force that saves someone.


The telekinetic girl who smashed out of the lab ('The Witch') passed through the youth shouting at the world ('Itaewon Class') and has now become a mature adult who knows how to shoulder the weight of a life ('The Great Flood').


Actress Kim Da-mi's True 'Coming-of-Age Ceremony'

As she said, "I hope the audience's hearts also become stronger watching Anna grow," 'The Great Flood' is not a simple disaster escape story. It is a growth record of actress Kim Da-mi, breaking the shell of a girl and being reborn as a true adult.


How about checking out Kim Da-mi's "crazy acting" unfolding on a submerged Earth on Netflix today?
