Kim Ki-duk's symbol is very straightforward. The words "Believe in Christ and have eternal life", the red cross in the dark night, the animal internal organs in the bathroom, and Li Jiangdao's masturbation are all direct contrasts between animality and divinity, death and faith.
The name, Jiang Shanmei, Jiang Dao to Li Jiang; kindness is kindness, from hatred to revenge to forgiveness, and the final fall comes from exhausting the energy of life to pursue a lover, not revenge; Mei only feels middle-aged beautiful women. Regarding Li Jiangdao, the Jiangjing that the old man talked about and the Jiangjing that the monk saw were the same. Personally, Jiang refers to people's sins, kindness, hatred, and forgiveness. human beings are evil. Li Jiangdao lifts the disabled monk to look at Jiang. I think that monks can't see these things in the world, but what about people in the world who can see them. I think Kim Ki-duk has a pessimistic attitude towards human nature.
Also, the eel with the name of Jiang Shan-mi was caught by the heroine herself and had its head cut off, and the released rabbit was hit and killed by a car on the road. , Maybe this pair of mother and child will not have a good death. I didn't expect this to be the case. Jiang Shanmei gave up her own life, and Li Jiangdao crossed the city with blood. Like Jesus, he died for the sins of the world (abandoned baby, economic, violent payment ), but can he influence the world like Jesus?
Sin and Forgiveness:
Li Jiangdao's sin is violence derived from money. The first few scenes are shocking, but in the second half, he completely incarnates as a filial son and gets along with his mother. Clumsiness makes people look at it with warmth and pity. In the end, the "mother" also forgives the poor man with the audience.
Jiang Shanmei came to take revenge, in order to let the enemy experience the loss of a loved one, but in the middle of the process, she forgave the other party out of sympathy. This revenge turned into a favor for Li Jiangdao, which injected a soul into an empty shell. Since this favor allowed Jiang Shanmei to let go of the hatred in her heart, it also became her self-redemption. The final death was tragic at first glance, but for the two protagonists, it was a gift.
Finally, let me complain, the president of a small loan is good enough. He said it as if he didn’t know the rules of tenfolding the contract in three months and the policy of paying back the money with insurance premiums if he was disabled. out of water? God logic. Are you so bold as a city administrator?
