But when it comes to the content, it can be summed up very simply: In the name of blackmailing Jinzi's daughter, Mr. Bai forced a 19-year-old flower girl Li Jinzi (played by Li Ying Ae) to confess the crime (kidnapping and killing children) on her behalf. During her 13-year prison life, Jin Zi decided to take revenge and help everyone with all her heart, which provided a good material and spiritual foundation for her revenge plan after she was released from prison. After being released from prison, she finds Teacher Bai and the families of all the victims and begins her revenge plan.
"Kind Gold" is the last part of director Park Chan-wook's "revenge trilogy". After the extreme cruel narrative style of the first two "I Want Revenge" and "Old Boy", the director replaced the revenge protagonist with a beautiful and gentle The woman, her long-running plan of revenge, takes every step of the way, the murderous and resentment emanating from her bones due to hatred are all shocking, and the director shows these details one by one through gorgeous images. For example, the red eye shadow and high heels, coupled with the tension and oppression that the narrow space gives the audience to the actor's performance, all show Jin Zi's determination and decisiveness. But when you look at her, it actually reveals the tenderness that a woman should have, but that tenderness is no longer something that can be bullied and played with.
That teacher Bai, taking advantage of Jin Zi's weakness, the only reason a single mother has left to treat the world tenderly, saves her 13 years in prison. So at first you feel that she is very controlling, you will consume her apology to you at will; you may feel that she likes you, and you will vent your grievances at will; you may feel that she has a virginal obligation to you, She has no scruples and pushes all the responsibilities that can be pushed to her; you may also feel that as a male representative of the society, you have more social resources in your hands, and you should be the leader and planner of her life. , in order to better set off your existence.
For the past 13 years, Jin Zi has been silent in prison, not because of his forbearance towards Teacher Bai, but because he has been silently planning everything carefully, and he has even arranged for Teacher Bai's wife. If you say that this woman is not smart and does not have strong willpower, I disagree; because he even killed another woman with a powerful threat in prison in order to "buy people's hearts" (so to speak?); this Sometimes you may think, in this case, Jin Zi is actually no different from Teacher Bai; if it is different, let’s first analyze why it is different from Teacher Bai: because the objects they hurt are different in terms of original sin; - Bai Jin Zi, who was hurt by the teacher, was originally pure and innocent, without sin. The woman who Jin Zi hurt was bullying other colleagues in the prison. At the same time, there was no "prison law" to supervise and sentence. Invisible "gangs" have no institutional and legal constraints (similar to the American drama "Orange Is the New Black"~ I recommend you to watch this American drama, which explains the small society very well!), and there is no "golden bell" that can protect itself. , this time is to see their own ability.
You see, what Teacher Bai consumes is the purity and youth of Jin Zi, and Jin Zi responds to him temporarily with gentle obedience; but what is really handed over to Teacher Bai is not the actual freedom from prison, but the feeling that he will not be punished. To the chill and murderous.
