          If the body art park, or the blankness of emotions and the fear of it, all represent the dissatisfaction of erotic desire, then the plastic surgery of modern people, and the appearance of the body art park after plastic surgery, is the extreme expansion of human desires, and the inability to The identified self conducts an impatient search.

      "Time" Movie Notes


         I want to think carefully about whether the plastic surgery before and after in Ji Woo and Seung Hee's love relationship brings them happiness or pain.
        Obviously, Seung Hee was very happy when he had plastic surgery after leaving Ji Woo and appeared in front of him with a new face, because he saw that Ji Woo was very interested in her. After they started dating, Seung Hee wanted to know if Ji Woo still had any nostalgia for his former self, so he wrote a note to leave Ji Woo....

      cosmetic surgery

      After reading it, there are two big points I want to express:
      1. The first one: echoing the beginning and the end. Now the directors seem to use this method~~~~ but they are still surprised by this ending method.
         The second one: Although the emotional expression of men and women is very good, I always feel that something is missing from the film.

      2. Regarding plastic surgery, the emotional story in the film mainly tells us that it is better not to have plastic surgery,...

      The ruthlessness of time, the change of personnel

      This one has the amazing feeling of Kim Ki-duk at first sight.

      This is about plastic surgery, it is about the change of people, he has changed, she has changed, and the two can never find each other again. I can no longer find the former eachother who loves and is loved with all my heart and soul. Missed forever, became two strangers and disappeared in the vast sea of ​​people. It is also the change of people over time. Time annihilates all freshness, fades all feelings, and turns all...

      Finally, there are more lines, but this is actually just a "plastic surgery" that Jin Ji De did for himself. It seems that Jin Ji De is also facing his confusion about "time" behind the high...

      I always admire directors who play time like a god. Maybe Kim Ki-duk is such a director who likes to make a fuss about time. This time, the name of the whole movie is simply called "Time", but the main content of the story is about love and plastic surgery, which is very ironic in Korea. Shixi actually has a psychological problem, and she must have paranoia, but Zhiyu really took revenge later. Shixi was looking for Zhiyu who had undergone plastic surgery after 6 months. It was crushed to...

    Evaluation action

    The theme of "Time" is the most basic love and humanity. Director Ki-duk Kim described in detail the conflict between time and interpersonal relationship, as well as the different stages of a relationship at different times, from a consistently unique and surprising perspective. The film has more dialogues and roles than Ki-duk Kim's previous works, in order to better explore and question humanity (International Online Review)  .
