A door in everyone's heart

As an amateur amateur of movies, I pay little attention to the names of directors and actors, and my main focus is generally on the storyline. Korean movies are even less exposed.


When looking for information, it seems that this is really the work of a big director, but it makes his fans a little disappointed. It's just amazing for a rookie like me. All literary and artistic creators are struggling with whether they can be accepted as popular and novel and can express their ideas, but in the few Korean films I have seen, they are indeed full of their own vitality and vitality.


Oriental movies, in fact, all have a heavy comic color. Japanese comics developed early. There are bloody hardcore stories, and urban romantic tender stories. Some are suitable for children, and some are adult-level. Comics seem to be movies. A preview of the show also made everyone from a very young age, consciously or unconsciously, hold hands with the luxurious imagination. This story is also, the biggest difference between it and Western stories is that although it wants to express a deep and serious content, its format is comic-like, innocent and romantic, and the two people living in the mental hospital put it together. The world looks like a fairy tale house painted with light, with huge imaginations, so that they have no odious or morbid alienation. Although there is blood and hatred in it.


Can people get rid of gravity? A mental patient invented a pair of socks, which can fly when wearing triboelectricity. In fact, who does not live in the world of their own imagination to protect themselves and follow their own set of philosophy?


The girl's grandmother is a mental patient who thinks she is a mouse. She eats radishes all day long. After being sent to a mental hospital by her family, the girl rides a bicycle to chase her, but the girl who can't catch up with her dear grandma also has an abnormal spirit. , She felt that she was a robot, and the reason why she couldn't rescue her grandma was that her power was low, and the girl who didn't eat or drink was taken care of by her accustomed to thinking that she was a hidden companion, and a door was drawn on her back, She opened her heart and installed a device that could turn rice into electricity, so the girl finally began to eat.


The story does not focus on the critical point of view, but deliberately explains the intolerance of the family or society towards the mentally ill, and it lacks a lot of preaching. The female doctor in it has been thinking about it, trying to save them. The female doctor's explanation about electric shock is very interesting, that is, electric shock is still widely used because it is still a short-pain and effective method. Electric shock is opposed by people because of pain, but, in life, where can people really avoid pain? So does it make sense to be against electric shocks?



So I think in the eyes of the director, all kinds of problems between people are often a key with a door. Sometimes, caring and caring, but not necessarily fate can find the right key, this is also a very oriental philosophy Well - "Fate".


The movie uses a lot of details about getting along with people, such as why she stretches out her hand, but doesn't like shaking hands (desire to communicate, but feels that the communication is not warm?) Why does she seem exhausted when she does not do much?
Sometimes I really feel that I have lost my memory, isn't it bad, it's because I have some heavy memories on my back, so I'm so unhappy.


There are seven essentials in the story to become a robot: no empathy, no sorrow, no panic, no indecision, renunciation of empty fantasies, no guilt, and gratitude for people.


Each patient represents the unique conflict and struggle of human beings. Losing those sensitive feelings, what is the difference between humans and robots? Or often many people are too sensitive to the world, and those who are addicted to these thoughts live too painfully, like carrying a heavy burden on their backs, hoping that someone can take away these emotions and even memories on them . At this time, medicine, comfort, and telling have no effect. From this point of view, it seems that there is a new Eastern philosophy. Compared with Western stories, Chinese stories generally show less obvious love and hate or Black and white, such as Infernal Affairs, such as Chinese martial arts stories, things that are not kind are sometimes needed, just like giving the world some balance. So in this, the hero played by Rain, the habitual thief, played a more critical role. Compared with traditional medical methods, his method was an alternative, and he could steal those mental stress away from them.

The only disadvantage is that there are too many things to think about, the center is not clear, and it lacks a little shocking effect :)

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

  • 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.
