As a director's debut, it is already perfect. The rhythm in the first half is a bit slow, and the tone of the movie is still low. It is destined to be a tragedy, and there is still a desire to watch it. The scene of shuddering, especially cutting off his brother's head and hanging directly on the tree, is unforgettable for a long time. My favorite scene is the scene where Jin Funan was sweating like rain in the field digging potatoes before the murderous intentions sprouted. It is the only sunshine in the whole film, which is obviously a symbol of hope, but vaguely feels the despair that is hard to hide. The director's camera sense is very good, and it really got the true biography of Kim Ki-duk, and the styles are very similar, but the downside is that the main visual of the film is a bit messy, who is Hae-won who is the bystander or Kim Bun-nam? The story is also a bit messy, but fortunately, the theme expressed is very clear, and the audience feels it is a success.
Secondly, I want to talk about the theme that the director wants to express. Is it the resistance and sorrow of women's rights under ignorance? Or the indifference of human feelings in the tense and oppressive real life? Maybe if the old women on the island were more concerned and understanding as women, if the brutal men were more respectful, if Haewon was more warm and kind, or everything would be different, the stark reality is doomed to the end, the burning of jade and stone seems to be the best. good ending.
Finally, let me say that the actor Xu Yingji is really invincible. The whole film is a lot better with her performance. I will continue to pay attention to her works.
