Actually, I still like this one with a lighter taste

I've seen both the Korean version and this version, and I was really vomiting when Cui Minzhi swallowed the octopus. To be honest, I still like the American version. It has a fast-paced and clear narrative. The Korean version has a strong personal style. It can break through the theme after layers of puzzles-indecent love. It is really not easy to accept, this kind of unconventional. The point of view is definitely more favored by literary and artistic awards, but the US version can still be accepted by most people. Since the incest is unintentionally, don’t continue this mistake. The male protagonist chooses self-imprisonment, which is also a kind of self-salvation, and ends with his daughter. His letter even more embodies warmth.
Everyone has their own answer to what is called love. Anyway, when I watched the Korean version, I really couldn’t see how deep the love the brother and sister had, the sprout of adolescence, and the secretion of hormones. Just because they were discovered, my brother would All this is regarded as loyal love. Many people use the name of love to do things that are not worthy of the name, as if a word of love makes everything sublimated, but I think this is a blasphemy of love, or it is a chain that binds love.
Finally, let’s talk about the actor. The Korean version of Uncle Cui Minzhi really didn’t say that he and the character are combined, and there are so many scenes in one eye, which is really admirable. As for the American version of Josh Brolin, this uncle’s expression is really small, so I won’t tell you the expression in his eyes. I can’t see his eyes at all. I always think that he looks like Nick Knot in the horror corner, always with facial paralysis. It would be much better if Edward Norton or Richard Gere were to play this film.
