hatred is a burden

Actually, I don't watch Korean movies very much, and it's limited to Kim Ki-duk, Park Chan-wook, Song Kang-ho, and Choi Min-sik. I was even ignorant enough to see Pei Doona thinking it was Stefanie Sun.

But "I Want Revenge" did not live up to a friend's one-year rant and recommendation, and it is a good film. I don't understand the use of the camera lens, the language of the film, and I don't talk about the coherence or non-linear progression. It's just that there are several vines of hatred rising from the ground. It's too natural and too supernatural.

The only villains who are truly evil are the organ dealers, mother and son. They are the origin of all hatred, and their end is worthy of their status. However, the deaths of all the other important characters are due to some hatred that should not exist but is very natural. Everyone died, and they all died horribly.

When we secretly questioned in our hearts whether Ryu's girlfriend should have died so miserably, we suddenly saw a very dark ending, which vaguely threw the outline of a political trap.

There is a supernatural scene in the film that almost brought me to tears. Dad, why don't you teach me to swim?

There is a line in the American X-Files: Hate is a baggage. Life is too short to be worth living with a burden. In that film, this kid just threw out this bullshit line (it seems to be still quoted) and died, and he didn't have time to live his life without the burden. The same is true of "I Want Vengeance". Everyone is burdened with hatred, but in fact, they have not figured out who they should hate, so they say funny lines such as "You are a good person". In fact, is hatred a burden or a spiritual pillar? Those who carry this burden must have a very short life. Unless it's a deliberate 15-year-old one like in Old Boy. Of course, after that gorgeous revenge, his life came to an end.

There is a small detail: Director Park found the body of Ryu's sister by the river, and then the fool who was looking for smoke appeared, wearing a necklace made by Ryu. Park finds the necklace and the photo have in common. But when I recall that when Ryu took the photo, in order to make the little loli cry, he took the necklace away and didn't give it to her. After the photo was taken, he also exchanged the necklace for a doll. Ordinarily, there is no reason for the crying little loli wearing a necklace in the photo. . However, even supernatural jokes have come out, what's this?

    The young Park Shi Chucheng, the long mirror and the boring scene are not the same, which does not make people lose patience. However, Shengzai Park's style of parenting has a charming gravitational pull. The violent scenes are calmly tiled, with the foil effect of clear soup and water, and the performance art of each round of revenge appears solemn and banter. From this film, we can see Director Park stepping in the footsteps and trails of the master step by step, and feel the insensitivity of the mixture of sadness and joy brought by the sneering thinking about order logic.

    Personally, I think it's good to cut off the extra shots. For example, in "Severe Cases Six", it is much better to narrate the past plot like a fool. Movies are video products, followed by sound. After all, it's not cross talk. Pei Douna is quite distinctive; you must not work with people with disabilities for too long and your children will fall into the river; the last four heroes should be from a school for the deaf. When Bae Doona advised Uncle, I felt that she was not the only one in her organization.
