Saying a pill is always right

I’ve watched the third film, Park Chan-wook, which is probably the most serious and direct. Although the film is about showing the collapse of Korean society after the financial turmoil, this story has universal symbolic meaning anywhere in the world. The poor have no money and the rich In the middle of the uneasy conscience, there is also the unstable factor of reselling organs and deceiving the top and bottom. A seemingly very stable and very realistic story then becomes incomprehensible in a series of revenge killings. After the revenge is over, you can't even think of the story. In addition to revenge, can people do other solutions to solve it, especially the extremist massacre that suddenly appeared in the last scene, which makes people feel the horror of the society in the movie. This sudden and unprovoked evil force does not know when it will come. Go to the protagonist's side to slaughter everyone and endanger themselves because the protagonist is deaf and mute, so the lines are really very few. Most of the plots are carried out in silent & sound effects. Except for the modern electric shock, the killing pictures are all cold weapons, which will make people very uncomfortable. The damage to the human body is much more terrifying than the average cult movie. In order to highlight the absurdity and evil of the story, many plots have been deliberately removed, but it does not affect the continuity of the story at all. Although I haven't watched "Old Boy", it should be Park Chan-wook's sharpest and most original movie

The absurdity of revenge, the sadness of the bottom, the impermanence of fate, the violence of politics. The translation is not clear, who are those people in the end? What was written on the note? A lot of very concise sequences of shots, almost disorienting. But the metaphors are also obvious.

Jin Ji De's imagery expression (performance art), the core proposition of Li Cangdong's style (fate reincarnation). The source of sin is good, and the end is death.
