On this remote island, a man means labor, and if you have a man, you have everything, at least that's what the aunt said. She also said, here, you have to pretend you don't know if you know it (implying that you can't resist man), presenting a numb and hateful image of being dominated by patriarchy. The irony is that there are several scenes of men working in the film? On the contrary, what we see is that Jin Funan has always worked hard and worked hard every day, and constantly endured the humiliation of her husband bringing prostitutes home and being raped by his brother-in-law at night.
Jin Funan also wanted to run away, to go to Seoul, and to live a different life. All she could count on was her childhood friend Hae-won. She kept writing letters to Hae-won in clumsy handwriting, but from Didn't get any response. Hae-won finally came to the island because of a vacation. Years have passed, and the appearance and life of the two have become very different. From the beginning, Jin Funan naively thought that their friendship had never changed. This was probably when he was a child. When Hae Won gave Jin Funan a kiss, the seeds were planted in her heart. I don’t know how many days and nights of bullying Jin Funan relied on this weak belief to support her.
Jin Funan could endure the insults and even beatings and scoldings of her husband and villagers, but when she found out that her husband was conspiring against her biological daughter and finally killed her own daughter, the angry Funan finally woke up in severe pain . After harvesting potatoes frantically, Funan looked up at the sky. The dazzling sunlight seemed to dispel all the fear and compromise in her heart. Funan raised the sickle and slashed at the villagers. Ironically, the last farm work of the whole village was completed by Jin Funan's labor. Jin Funan was in despair, she could no longer feel any kindness in this world, and some were just torture like hell.
Let's talk about Hae-won, as an ordinary office worker who works hard in Seoul, she also has a lot of troubles. It is undeniable that Hae-won is selfish and timid, which is also the epitome of many current urbanites, everyone only cares about their own door In the former one-acre and three-point land, no one took the experiences and friendships they had as a child in their hearts. In order to protect herself, Haiyuan's actions are understandable, and this is the choice most people will make, but in Funan's heart, Haiyuan is her only hope. When outsiders inquired about the cause of her daughter's death, Funan knew that Haiyuan had seen the whole process and hoped that Haiyuan could speak for her, but out of her own protection and cowardice, Haiyuan chose to remain silent. When Hae-won saw what Funan looked like after the murder, she immediately chose to run away, and the gleam in Funan's heart went out. Exhausted, Hae-won escaped from the island in a speedboat, but fell unconscious on the boat.
After that, Funan changed into Hae Won's clothes and took on the flute they used to play together when they were young. She wanted to fulfill her dream and went to Seoul, as if she wanted to experience Hae Won's life, but everyone could see it. The Funan is nothing more than a walking dead, everything that the island has experienced has completely destroyed this woman. But Funan found out in an accident that Haiyuan was rescued by the police and sent to the police station, so Funan came to the police station and wanted to kill his former close friend Haiyuan. As for why Funan wanted to kill Haiyuan, at this time, Funan was in despair. This childhood playmate did not provide any help to his tragic situation, and even refused to say a word for his unjustly dead daughter. In desperation, Funan raised a sledgehammer at Hae-won, and Hae-won stabbed the flute into Funan's throat in a hurry.
As he was dying, Funan leaned against Haiyuan's lap and moved his hands, as if he wanted to play the small flute tune from his childhood.
After returning home, Hae-won bravely identified the criminal she had witnessed but did not have the courage to identify before. She opened the letter and saw Funan’s clumsy handwriting on her expectations. Hae-won lay down, as if she had transformed into a tragic island. This can finally protect Funan, but it's too late.
The film not only satirizes the deformed society of serious male superiority and inferiority between men and women in remote rural areas of South Korea, and the people's thinking is backward and ignorant, but also shows the indifference and alienation in human nature. Hae-won can slap her colleagues indiscriminately, and villagers can trample on the industrious and honest Funan. Human nature seems to have been completely distorted and ceased to exist. In fact, there was never hope in Funan's life. Perhaps her last thought before her death was that you people are so unkind.
