Hollow "Stockholm Syndrome"

The hole-filled "Stockholm Syndrome"
article/Xiao Gu

is helpless, because it is more and more dangerous to explain Kim Ki-duk, and he has too many metaphors (actually too many traps).

Many people see "The Empty House" as a romance film, and some people tend to see it as a psychological film. Of course, love is generally an imitative behavior of eccentricity, so I am more inclined to the latter, thinking about people's psychological limits through this movie. Although, its cover, it is easy to be understood as a fragrant ghost story (how similar to "Human Ghost Love"!), or a direct three P story.

This is the limit of vulnerability and loneliness. The heroine's man is a neurotic, possessive middle-aged man, who often beats the pretty pretty girl to the point where her right cheek is red and swollen, and then makes out with her. She shivered as soon as she appeared, hid in a corner, refused to speak, and refused to answer the phone. The sharp and barbed spear of domestic violence smashed her heart with holes, and the psychological basis of "Stockholm Syndrome" has been formed.

So she met a handsome young man who broke into the door, and watched as he swaggered into the house, opened the refrigerator, washed his clothes, and cooked. Brother, you must have thought of "Sunny Days". Why do young people with empty hearts always like to enter an unfamiliar empty house? "Stockholm Syndrome" is also perfect: young, strong, handsome, lonely eyes.

The general story and emotions are clear, women follow men. Vulnerability and loneliness are rescued.

After the male protagonist beat the woman's husband with a golf ball, he liked the hard little ball. So, I found a hole in the middle of the ball with the iron wire, and tied it to the tree trunk to play, so that I can play repeatedly, without worrying about the ball being thrown out and not being picked up. Women are always reluctant to fight him, bringing back uncomfortable memories (this deliberately arranged prop is associated with aggression, a woman's husband, and other evils). In such venting and blocking, the small ball accidentally flew out, pierced the glass of an oncoming car on the street, and killed the other wife of the co-pilot.

It is not surprising that a ball of injury kills a person, but the fate of being killed by a flying catastrophe makes people feel embarrassed. The general story is dramatic and reasonable. However, the accidental death of the wife in the car was sudden, accidental, and impermanent (although this is also an inevitable fate). This impermanence shocked me at that moment. Because it is the limit of impermanence. Adding this limit to the fragile limit is the limit of "the house leaks when it rains overnight".

As for the last male protagonist who has reached the limit similar to an invisible man (hidden behind you in a dazzling way, becoming your shadow, making your heart flutter but not finding him), we cooperated with voyeurism to push the film to the height of three Ps, All I have is admiration and doubt.
