This film was a little incomprehensible at first, maybe, we can watch it very simply. . .

The whole film is basically mentally ill from the protagonist to the supporting characters. All of them live in their own fantasy world. In that world, impossible things happen for granted, just like Yingjun thinks he is a robot , and Yishun is always worried that he will become a dot and disappear, some people want to become singers, some people want to fly by rubbing socks, all things are very unreasonable, but there is a reason for it . . . They cling to their world because they believe. .

At the beginning of the story, there are many people like robots making radios step by step, Yingjun is one of them, but in fact Yingjun already thinks she is a robot, she likes those wires, antennas and so on, because she thinks that It was her necessities, so she naturally plugged the wires into her body. Since then, she was sent to a mental hospital. There are many people who live in their own world like her. There, she will talk to the vending machine. , say hello to the electric light, know how common it is in a mental hospital. . And all this was seen by Yishun, who is also mentally ill. Yishun is a person who loves a mask. He wants to cover himself up so that no one can recognize him, because someone said that he will disappear into a dot,,, Yingjun's arrival aroused Yishun's curiosity. He was observing this girl who thought she was a robot. From then on, Yishun often appeared by Yingjun's side, and Yingjun was willing to share his own affairs with Yishun. . Yingjun and Yishun talk about their beloved grandmother, and Yishun berates her parents to Yingjun. . Yingjun thinks he is a robot, he doesn't need to eat, his body loses weight, Yishun will try his best to make Yingjun eat, when one fantasies use fantasies to make another fantasies eat, You know what kind of scheming it took, and what a sweet scene it was when that little mechanical world started to come back up and running. . . . . .

Maybe there are still many things in this show that I don't understand, but why bother to pursue these, I know that there are two people who are trying to live in their own world, two people who seriously cross into each other's world and warm each other. .

    I don't like it at all, especially for the heroine who looks like that

    It's not fresh, it's still dark and cruel Park Chan-wook's style, behind the innocent and simple robot girl is the shadow of a painful childhood, and the hospital full of elegant colors also looks a bit depressing under the symmetrical composition. In the face of "different people", society always wants to erase their existence or change them, but it has never thought of admitting their existence, let alone reflecting on the harm society has caused them. It's just that this time Park Zanyu was more warm, and he gave a way out. "Aliens" support and care for each other, and may be able to live out their own world and heal their pain.

I'm a Cyborg, But That's OK quotes

  • Cha Young-goon: Please steal it. My sympathy.

  • Park Il-sun: I did all kinds of things in jail. Because I felt I was vanishing. I stole other people's clothes to wear. And I brushed my teeth diligently. Once your teeth start to go, there's no turning back.

    The mythomaniac: That's true.

    Park Il-sun: I had a psych evaluation and they said I'm schizophrenic and anti-social.

    The mythomaniac: Anti-social?

    Park Il-sun: Like stealing and fighting for no reason. And not having any sense of guilt or sympathy. But I don't know why they call me anti-social. I have my reasons for stealing. I'm afraid I'll vanish. I'm anti-vanishing.
