Can't make tofu cake

At the beginning of the film, the response was different. A smooth waltz rhythm flows gently from the harpsichord, and a stream of blood spells out the title as the cello joins.
The heavy chords of the harpsichord are paired with the cello theme with the most tension and thickness in the strings, and it even surpasses the pale and almost treacherous bread-making hands in the camera, and the red liquid that is blood or jam. The terrifying black vines and dazzling red flowers are interspersed with blood and saws, suggesting violence and gore, but the shaken flour and sliced ​​cakes, and the white cream are overwhelming. We won't be sure of the movie's revenge theme until the black leaves transform into beautiful, terrifying eyes of red eyeshadow, leaving a meaningful tear.



Outside the women's prison wall in winter, the released prisoners and their relatives hug each other warmly. The singing of the church choir also filled this touching moment with joy. Every former female prisoner immediately found the figure of her relatives, crying and laughing. In the middle of the heavy and dark winter clothes, there was only a figure with long white light and long hair, looking around in a calm, dazed color. Needless to say, she is naturally our heroine.

The director used the pastor's memory and female voice narration to tell the reason why Jin Zi was imprisoned thirteen years ago. After a situational dialogue, Jin Zi's very pretentious confession appeared, matched with the picture of her angelic behavior. Her praying face, especially the crying face of the victim boy, was indeed sincere.

Several female prisoners held Jin Zi and cried bitterly, but Jin Zi's face was indifferent and blank for no reason. In the face of every person she has helped with all her heart, she has shown a kind and kind smile to everyone, outside the prison, she is not interested. She now has stunning curly hair and red eyeshadow. Her blue trench coat and red high heels are exceptionally beautiful. A few strands of lonesome black hair hung on her pale face, her eyes were sadly swollen with red eyeshadow, and her eyes were cold and unsympathetic.

Everyone said to Jin Zi, who was released from prison, that you have changed, and you are not as amiable and understanding as before. Has she changed?

Of course not, since the beginning of everything, the gold has not changed.
When she was convicted, she wore a polka-dot dress, and when she was in prison, there were pictures of the little boy and a wanted portrait of herself on the walls. When she walked into prison, she was still wearing a polka dot dress. Outside the prison, there are still pictures of the little boy and a wanted portrait of herself by the mirror of her residence. None of this has changed. Thirteen years ago, when I was not in prison, the years in prison, until now, when I walked out, all the hatred and all the hope have not changed. The white tofu was knocked to the ground by gold. The sound of copper slamming to the ground made the doubts in everyone's hearts come true - yes, everything is not over yet. On the contrary, everything has just begun.



My favorite scene in the whole film is that after Rong Xi asked Jin Zi, "Your plan has begun," Jin Zi, with an expressionless face, turned around with a cigarette in his mouth, Verdi's violin melody, with a bit of Dangerous and provocative sounds sounded.

Li Jinzi's real life is about to begin - at least, she thinks so. However, a weak woman, what weapons does she have to deal with her enemies? This is nothing to worry about, dear viewers. She's beautiful, she's smart, she can make cream cakes of unparalleled delicacy, and she can do her best to help everyone who needs her. Women's friendships and camaraderie are tenacious and great, and those women—except for the dead ex-witch—have single-handedly tried to repay the gold. She has magic powers.

Gold does have magic power. I don't know why, but my daughter Jenny's adoptive parents who don't speak two languages ​​can also drink and drink so happily with her. And Jenny didn't know why she wanted to go to Korea with Jin Zi. As for her relationship with the little boy Yushu, it is very strange. The little boy asked her, can I call you eldest sister? She looked to the side very boringly and said, call me Jin Zi. Maybe it's because he's the same age as the dead Hong Mu. To him, Jin Zi told the story for the first time. So we know the object of revenge: sinner white. The director treated this man with contempt, and he didn't even have a name. It's just Teacher Bai, or Bai.

When Jin Zi forced Bai to translate for her, explain to Jenny why she abandoned her. This monologue explains her inconsistent words and deeds-why she said "pray for redemption", but she secretly planned a well-planned revenge. For small sins require small redemptions, and large sins require large redemptions. At this point, we can understand where the split personality of Kaneko came from. In fact, it should be said that we have found a consensus for her split. Revenge is redemption.

She was originally a lovely and kind woman who helped so many people in prison. However, when she walked out of the prison, she changed into a demonic face, and hatred burned in her heart, making her unable to care about other emotions. She was wearing a crisp white dress, prayed in front of the photo, and fell asleep. However, in her dream, she was wearing a black leather coat and shot the enemy who turned into a dog in the snow, blood spraying all over the ground. In her sleep in the white dress, she showed a sweet smile. All these divisions and contradictions are because revenge is atonement. Killing is originally evil, but she has her beliefs, and killing Bai to atone for her sins has become a great good. In this story, the angel in white and the nemesis in black are the same.



Everything has to be beautiful. Yes, Kim's revenge plan is like her cake, like the title, beautiful and startling, everything is clean and beautiful. Because this revenge was originally a baptism.

Following this principle, Jin Zi basically encountered no resistance, except for the episode of Bai Hire People to Kill and Kidnap. It is said that if a woman is a mother, she is stronger, and Jin Zi, who was clearly covered by ether, was able to stand up again. She ran towards the thugs holding her dual-barrel pistols, her black trench coat bulging, her eyes blood red like the goddess of nemesis, and her black trench coat and pale face, like a messenger of punishment. Stronger than any image.

The audience who waited for more than an hour saw the white quilt poured on the table, and they were already impatient for the last feast of revenge. The last moment of revenge is coming, but facing the tightly bound white and pale gold, he can only whimper and cut his hair, use a beautiful pistol to his head again and again in vain, and then put it down helplessly. . In front of this unarmed and bound man, Jin Zi looked like a weak person.

Not only gold, but when the silent parents lined up outside the door, ready to kill their enemies, they also looked like a group of weak, not strong. The logic of the parents is simple and strange - he has no children, what does he need so much money for. When Kim said he was going to buy a sailboat, we don't know if she was telling the truth. Yet the parents' reaction was also bizarre, not so much outrage at the answer as relief. I also don't know why one of the children's sisters is almost paranoid about telling their story to Yong-soo's grandma. As for the old lady, she was indeed a ruthless character. When she saw the scene of her granddaughter being tortured and killed, she gritted her teeth and said nothing. In the end, she couldn't stand the couch and the chair fell to the ground. When killing Bai, I don't wear plastic clothes, I walk in coldly, and go out coldly.

It seems that at such a time, no matter how tortured this villain is, it will not be able to live up to the audience's expectations. However, when the old lady walked out and the picture was cut to a pair of handmade scissors with a round head stuck around his neck, the audience seemed satisfied.

After deliberately arranging everything, all the weak Jin Zi can do is to fire two shots at Bai's corpse.
When Bai was buried, Jin Zi cried uncontrollably, as if announcing the end of her half-life mission. The peculiar expression of tears and a twisted smile seemed to be the fulfillment of an avenger's wish. But that's not the way a person who wants to make atonement has fulfilled his wish.

The parents sang birthday songs, and around the beautiful cake made of gold, a frantic vent, revenge, and mourning ended. From watching the video, to discussion, to murder, to the aftermath, this is a grand ceremony of revenge. The gluttonous food after the grand ceremony is a perfect and appropriate ending. Of course it's a birthday song, because the parents seem to be reborn. The girl asked about returning the ransom, but in fact, it was everyone who returned to reality and untied the burden and returned to life. Everyone held the last souvenir left by the children in their hands, and felt that their souls were finally freed from the anger of being tortured and killed, and they returned to heaven.



What about Hongmu?

Gold wiped off the red eyeshadow, she felt that she could be her "gold of kindness", maybe her sins had been washed away. However, Hong Mu's little ghost was smoking a cigarette, and for the first time appeared in front of her as she wished, in a way she didn't expect. She was about to speak, but 19-year-old Hongmu put a numb core in her mouth and looked at her with a complicated expression - she still wasn't forgiven.

Yushu followed her, but she refused to look back. The attachment of such a pure soul to her is like the attachment of her daughter to her, let her be unbearable. "She never got the redemption she longed for in her heart." She finally made a snow-white cake in the shape of tofu by herself. She felt that the day of revenge was the day when she was truly released from prison, the day when she could get out of the prison in her heart. But did she really get the redemption she wanted? Jenny and Yushu opened their mouths happily, tasting the falling snow, but she never opened her mouth. Jenny dipped her finger in the cream and put it in her mouth, looked at her mother's face, and replied, "more white," with a naive expression. Li Jinzi looked at her daughter with long hair and bare feet in a white dress, without tasting her work, she just buried her face in the tofu cake and whimpered loudly.
