When I was too sensitive in my childhood, I would feel unhappy because of the little things. So, I told myself to shut down my feelings. I was really slow as I thought, and I also lost the ability to fantasize along the way. And in this movie, those feelings seem to come back to life all at once. The world of the mentally ill turned out to be so full of vigor and vitality.
Psychopaths, as generally thought, are dark, weird, unhealthy, abnormal, and deserve to be sympathized with, even disgusted. But each of the patients here is a person who is very persistent in life, and should be respected for this. There is a man who thinks that all the faults are his, and he keeps apologizing to irrelevant people. There is a person who falls in love with a cow and takes care of it. Someone, fantasizing about being able to float, made a pair of socks, just put them on and rubbed their feet, and they could be lifted into the air. There are many more... Each of their lives is not a mess, but full of enthusiasm and dedication. Although what they do is so absurd and funny to normal people, they are very serious and feel from it. Infinite fun. In fact, don't they live more wonderfully than us.
I hardly ever thought about the question of why people live. But the hero and heroine, as two mentally ill patients, are obsessed with it. Yishun was afraid of disappearing, so he went to steal things to feel his existence. He was still busy doing a lot of things, such as brushing his teeth. When he was 15 years old, his mother left him and took away the electric toothbrush at home. Brushing his teeth made him feel the existence of teeth. . Yingjun and grandma have a very good relationship. Grandma has always regarded herself as a mouse. This mental illness makes family members look at grandma with weird eyes. When grandma was taken away by ambulance, she didn't have time to put on her false teeth. She had dentures, and she only heard her grandma say to her that the purpose of existence is... The fast car, the isolated car window, made her unable to hear grandma's words, and her bicycle could not catch up with grandma. She has a secret, she is a robot. Don't eat, lick the battery, hold the battery with both hands, charge. She often nags about the unfinished words of her grandmother, the purpose of existence...
Every patient has a knot. Yingjun's grandma's dentures, Yishun's toothbrush, and the rest have table tennis, socks, cows, and so on. Yishun is a key person in it, because he likes to steal, and he is handy at everything from stealing things to stealing people's thoughts. He can also steal things that don't exist, such as the rubber bands on his pajama pants that one patient said was born. What he stole was not only what people were attached to, but also what people wanted to get rid of but couldn't get rid of. It is because they are too serious that they can't take it easy on these things, but they are entangled in their own diseases. In this sense, mental patients are actually people who are too honest with themselves. Their conscience is too strong, and others can easily Neglecting in order to keep their heads held high and continue living, they can't, can't self-coach, and become mentally ill. To steal their chronic diseases is to heal them. Yishun consciously played the role of the thief. He stole the sympathy from Young-kun, he stole the courtesy of the man who was always apologizing. When he did this, he was like a wizard, masking them, painting them with watercolors, and clapping their hands and saying, "Take it." Really stole their knots.
Stealing is not so bad. Do you even wish something about yourself was stolen.
As for the purpose of existence, in fact, every existence has its own unique purpose. The purpose of nuclear weapons is to wait for the end of the world. Yingjun wrote this sentence, which is what her grandmother understood with the help of Yishun.
Park Chan-wook said that we must realize that existence itself is the purpose, and not think too much about it. Then accept yourself, try to understand yourself, accept yourself with the help of others, and what could be more exhilarating. Existence is existence itself. each unique individual. Learn to accept it with joy. Don't get depressed.
Many times we are unhappy, we just can’t accept this self, we always look to others, but forget that our uniqueness is also valuable, and looking at others will just make us lose ourselves.
Yingjun starts to eat because Yishun has made her a converter that can convert rice into electricity—first existence, then acceptance, and that process, that is, the purpose.
The dead knot of the mentally ill, or many people, is to tie themselves up. Opening a gap and welcoming others to steal is the best way to liberate yourself. After acceptance, there is abandonment, and it is in this kind of abandonment that constitutes the most beautiful existence.
