Searching for a Korean movie that was accidentally found in the film list, The Pearl of the Sea. It is the work of South Korean director Kim Ki-duk. I searched for the director and starring information on the Internet, and found that he is a ghost, a geek, a genius, and he has produced many, many good works. However, at the end of 2020, he died of the new crown. The film I watched was from 2003, and the director actually died of the pandemic that has spread in recent years. This bizarre world. BTW, let's talk about the movie itself. Before I opened it, I thought it was a movie with Zen and literature and art coexisting. After reading it, I didn't feel it at all, but felt the slightest coldness in the quilt. Although the entire film is narrated through the outer shell of religion, what is expressed in the film is not at all the way to the blissful world advocated by Buddhism. Reincarnation, redemption and forgiveness are the three major themes of this film, but after watching it, only the motto "human nature is inherently evil" pops up. From the young monk playing with animals at the beginning, to the young monk pulling the girl into the water for lust, then to the adult monk killing people because of jealousy and anger, to the unconscious evil of the middle-aged monk who killed the masked woman in order to dig ice and fetch water, and finally another. A little monk stuffed a stone into an animal's mouth for an even more brutal game. There seems to be evil in every season and every stage. Evil deeds are everywhere, regardless of age, whether they are natural or unconscious. From another point of view, the little monk grew up in a temple in the deep mountain. He should have been the purest and purest mind, but he repeatedly committed evil deeds. In the end, he even committed murder by mistake because of his inner anger, which all proves that human nature is evil. argument. Until the end of the film, another spring comes, but the little monk treats animals in a more brutal way. This has to be said to be creepy. No matter what kind of redemption or self-forgiveness, human nature is full of desire and cruelty, and there is no so-called way of redemption or forgiveness. So-called religion, people often regard it as the only way of salvation, like a person who falls into the water grabbing a floating straw as firmly as they believe. But in the movie, the cloth covering the front is torn open for people to see: the story takes place in a temple, the protagonists are monks, and they are monks of different ages: old monks, young monks, young monks, middle-aged monks and other monks. A little monk. But the sins committed did not diminish or die out because of age or the change of seasons. It was so depressing to watch. "It's as if the birds are thrown into the forest after eating, and the white land is really clean." It is like this poem by Cao Xueqin in a dream of red mansions. At the end of the film, the monk continued to practice with stones on his back for self-salvation, and when he climbed to the top of the mountain, he could see the temple where he was before Yu is just an inch of land. Most of life is just like that. All prosperity is simply a dream. In all life, in all life journey, those power, wealth, love, all are empty. It is difficult for people to completely detach themselves from their own nature, so it is inevitable that they will do evil, and they will lose themselves and their original hearts because of their pursuit of desires. And the last shot in the film pushes the thought-provoking meaning to the apex, no matter how reincarnation, there will always be a "Buddha" watching you from a farther and higher place. However, it may be difficult for people to understand throughout their lives, what exactly is a Buddha? Where are you? All in all, it was the first time I watched a movie that was still in the clouds. Maybe when you have a different experience and mood, you will have a different feeling. Words are difficult to express my thoughts, I have always been reluctant to make life and life so negative and pessimistic. Of course people have original sin, but it is important to have thoughts. I think, therefore I am, the ultimate skepticism will only make people lose themselves, and eventually give up the desire to live and lose everything.
