After reading it, I wanted to write something, and I looked through the film reviews, but I couldn't find anyone who expressed my thoughts, so I just wrote something.
Hae-won, is an indifferent person to the old man, to the beaten woman, to his childhood friend.
(The perfunctory evasion of Funan in every possible way)
The threat of gangsters to her may have made her more firm in her belief in "less trouble".
Wanzong's mother - "under one person, above ten thousand", she actually rules the island that has tormented her for fifty years. The tragic experience in the past made her a complete abuser and enslavement, with a hint of relief and self-righteousness: she had finally made it through, she had suffered all these hardships, which was a matter of course for her, so what about the "daughter-in-law"? already?
Wanzong went fishing with his daughter, but he never caught any fish. When "wife" muttered, he became angry. Perhaps, this is him covering up his incompetence, perhaps,...
Three bystanders, numb spectators. The words they said the most were "Women have to live with men", "There must be men." And this is the order on the island. Even if they are dead, all they want to do is: go with the mud, continue their previous life, and play the role that is not a vested interest, but not a victim, yes, that's enough .
Brother, I still have good intentions, but one person cannot change the whole environment, nor can he overcome the resistance of kinship. He may have doubts, but after Hae-won gave an answer that had nothing to do with him, he completely let go of the morals in his heart, as if all the responsibilities had been left to Hae-won.
(Wan Zong moved his son for Funan and touched his daughter's job)
(Perhaps the girl sees her mother as her rival)
(Obviously doing the most tiring work, but still being scolded for "what's so tiring in a woman's life")
In the whole article, the only love she got was a plate of miso that she kicked on after being beaten. It's nothing, there's still hope that Hae-won might be able to take them away, at least, with her daughter.
But the bigger the expectation, the bigger the disappointment, and Hae-won's perfunctory became "the last mountain to crush the camel".
Seeing that the only meaning of her daughter's life has gradually become the love of a "man", she knows that she can't wait any longer, she can't let her daughter become the second she, and she can't let her live in this order.
Finally, after looking at the sun, she finally woke up: not dying in silence, but erupting in silence.
She may not want to kill her: appearing just in time to rescue her from Tie Zong's clutches; killing Wan Zong's mother just knocks her out. Because she once gave her the only warmth in her life, although that time, she immediately abandoned her and fled alone.
And after she obstructed her from killing her husband and boatman, she was motivated to kill: if you can't get it, then destroy it.
In the end, she died in her arms, and I thought: this is the ending she most expected.
(Islands also exist outside of islands)
The island is a symbol of feudalism, or the prejudice in people's hearts: patriarchal society, women are only men's appendages...
The nameless island is just the highlight of the contradiction.
And the director's blurring of the final shot also tells that the island also exists and beyond the island.
At the beginning of the film, women are beaten to death every day, and those women may be Funan who has not escaped from the island...
