This movie was also picked up by Amway on Douyin. I forgot why I wanted to watch it at the time, but after a long time, I finally finished watching this movie. Although I have always liked Korean movies, I really don't know anything about Korean directors. I saw that this is Kim Ki-duk's 18th film in the introduction, and it has a high evaluation of him, and it is an excellent film at the Venice Film Festival. How should I put it, I think this film is really the style of participating in the film festival, that is, the literary film contains the distortion of human nature and the loss of morality. Lots of details and a deep plot. It's not that kind of fighting or love, but more of a discussion of human nature. When I started watching this movie, the latest feeling was that the main character was really, really cold and cruel. Many, many cruel things, he almost always did it with a cold face. Until the woman who thought it was his mother appeared, she was like a piece of ice, refusing the approach of others, but when a flame or sunlight approached him, the ice cube gradually melted and could no longer be frozen. This is what this movie means, because the ice cubes are always ice cubes because they are in a cold environment, but when he goes to the sun, he can no longer continue, but turns into a pool of clear water. In fact, for the plot of the story, it is nothing more than the wicked who do evil things and get revenge. Just like the dog blood plots often seen in novels, you did not fall in love with me in the past, so I will abandon you after you fall in love with me when I grow up. "Let you taste the feeling of losing a loved one" has almost become a classic line in the movie, and is widely used, but in this movie, it is different from such a kind of revenge, in fact, it is more about Jade all burnt. The mother who avenged her son gave the murderer a taste of losing her mother. I think the director's innovation and ideas are actually really good, and he tells the story in a very calm, almost brutal way. Especially at the end of the hero, when his psychological defense line completely collapsed, all he wants to pursue is a kind of compensation. A trace of blood dragged out by the truck is to return his life to the vastness. The ending really surprised me, when the male protagonist put on the sweater that he thought his mother only gave him, and lay side by side with two corpses. In fact, more of the emotion I understand the director wants to show is. If life has no meaning, then death is the best destination. Some people die alone, while others die happily and die with their loved ones. And what the protagonist longs for is such a happy death, if only a self-deceptive one.
