Watching Bong Joon-ho's movies first requires patience, because he never does the usual three-step walk, but is happy to surprise people by accidentally setting off a climax. Secondly, it is well known that he prefers close-up of facial expressions for a long time. This is the time when an actor's skills are tested the most. I am afraid that only a national-level actress like Jin Huizi can easily control it. Finally, he always likes to leave countless details foreshadowing in the reasoning plot. Some details echo before and after, and some are not mentioned until the end, intentionally or unintentionally leaving the viewer's imagination space and triggering discussion. This is not just a What is sorely needed for a successful suspense-themed work?
Obviously, this film has been greatly influenced by the previous work in terms of creative ideas and expression techniques, but this is not a simple copy. The mother's acupuncture box is mentioned many times in the film. She said that if you stick it on a certain acupuncture point in the thigh, you can forget the unforgettable memory, and she did so in the end. The dancing figure at the end is both real and vague. All beings in the world can do this, so presumably their short and painful lives will be a little happier.
