"calm"

"Burning" is very "cool and quiet"! Three empty and lonely characters, a deeply chilling story. After watching the film, there are only two words "cold and quiet" in my mind. Standing on the sidelines, as if everything has nothing to do with you, the indifference is chilling; watching the changes, letting everything develop in an unknown direction, but still deadly quiet. The irony is that at the end, when the cold knife, the hot blood and the messy snowflakes are intertwined, the only tenderness appears! The switch between virtual and reality, the struggle between human nature and desire! 8.5 points! ps: The plot of the whole film is open-ended, you can interpret it freely!

    Rather than calling it a film masterpiece, it is more appropriate to call it a literary masterpiece. Li Cangdong's talent is obviously that text is greater than video. He is not sensitive to the camera, but he can make use of his strengths and avoid weaknesses. He has a keen sense of smell by relying on words, images nest images, and metaphors link together. Metaphors, hard splits create chisels, virtual and real coexist, ambiguous and ambiguous, constructing an open modern labyrinth. In the visual soil of the lack of Korean literature genes, he is lonely and defeated.

    As stupid as I am, after reading a circle of comments, I don't understand whether the metaphor of social class is intentional by the director or whether the audience is over-interpreting it. I only saw an ignorant boy falling into lust, and the emptiness of the meaning of life, like burning plastic, and after a puff of black smoke, everything was invisible.
