When I first saw this movie, its strong stylized shooting technique, cold and rational and beautiful black and white color scheme, the deep red scarlet used in a large area to symbolize sin, and the religious warm and clean soundtrack are all my great loves, so I have no hesitation. 's pit. Kind Gold This movie is like a collection of "The Count of Monte Cristo" and "Murder on the Orient Train", like a story told by an old grandmother in front of the fireplace, the whole story is very old-fashioned, through There was an air of dust. But we can also say that this kind of revenge is an eternal proposition. After all, love is also the eternal muse of inspiration for poets and writers. What attracts me most about this film is that he did not make the process of revenge highly mythical, artistic, and idealized like the Murder on the Orient Train. In the new life journey, the protagonist is not designed as a completely innocent innocent person like the Count of Monte Cristo, who can be regarded as a lamb on the altar, and is not ignored in an idealized background environment or isolated space. Get rid of the invisible eyes of society, and easily erase the moral and legal worldly weight from the scale of revenge. On the contrary, it is a story of extreme reality written in a highly artistic brush, full of satire on the "sacred" religion, and fully reflecting the tension of human nature. The discussion part of the film is my favorite, although it's often criticized for being slow and moaning. But in my opinion, this kind of indecision, cowardice and guilt, hatred and intolerance, desire and restraint, the conflict between strong love for losing a child and helplessness under moral constraints is the highlight of human nature. As the old grandmother said, "Who doesn't have a story in life?" However, under the constraints of social morality, the needs of interests, and the multiple oppression of the desire for bloodthirsty revenge, people are often selfish and helpless to live. Compared with the neat and refreshing earlier stage, at the end of the movie, the part of homomorphic revenge is extraordinarily restrained and calm. The director did not focus on the room where malice and hatred were strongly released, but on the crowd waiting outside. In the book, each person's reaction is shown delicately, and a group of ordinary and real Avengers are portrayed. This space is completely human, people's nervousness, throbbing, people's depression, guilt, relaxation... They did not forget to be miserable in the process of waiting, and before taking revenge, they had to exhort each other to be a little bit more restrained and leave a breath for the people behind. This kind of treatment is both artistic and extremely real. The humanity of those who waited on the benches had long since lost its purity and sanctity, but it had not been completely overshadowed by sin.
After the feast of revenge, people hurriedly left the table, and Jin also took off his crimson eye makeup, and plunged into the snow-white cake under the embrace and gaze of the figures symbolizing the angel and the redeemer. But are these Avengers really redeemed? At the end of the movie, Jin, who had just eaten the cake of human blood, rejected the creamy fingers that his daughter extended, which has proved it all. The vengeful people are already soaked in blood, how can they live pure and white?
In the Christian concept, crimson is a symbol of sin, a wound in the human soul, a deep sin that cannot be washed away. But let's not forget, whether it's the shining gold like god in the prison, or you and me in front of the big screen, in every minute and every second of our lives, there is that crimson thing that never stops in us The blood in the heart is flowing hot. There is a pair of interesting contrasts in Greek mythology. One is Prometheus, the saint who looked down on the world and endured the bite of eagles on the Caucasus Mountains, and the other was Sisyphus, who was endlessly pushing stones up the mountain in the abyss of hell. One of them is holy and the other is sinful, but they are all guarded by endless torment and suffering. The extreme setting of the ancients seems to tell us that life on earth is nothing but a combination of the two. Every day we live is just to let our human nature oscillate between divinity and animal nature, carrying everything and moving forward. The human world is like a piece of cicada's wings that is repeatedly twisted between the fingers of heaven and hell. It is fragile and has the ultimate beauty. As Shelley said in his poem: No liberty! Endless! Hopeless! I insist!
