One of Kim Ki-duk's "Prostitute Trilogy", the other two are "Bad Boy" and "Young Prostitute". For Kim Ki-duk's films, sex is an inescapable thing. Coupled with the director's personalized performance, the weakening of narrative, the deep depiction of inner emotions, the expression of heavy symbols, etc. make the film more obscure and entertaining. Greatly reduced, and challenges to various ethics and taboos, I have never been able to have much interest in him. In contrast, I prefer Park Zanyu, Feng Junhao, Luo Hongzhen and the like who can tell an interesting story and are not lacking Must be of artistic level.
In the first half of the two girls' hazy awareness of sex, they regard it as a pure way of communication. In order to fulfill the plan to travel to Europe, the idea of being a assisted dating girl has sprung up. In the eyes of ordinary people, prostitution and whoring are both dirty and indecent activities, and they are ways of communication that are spurned by the mainstream of society. But in front of two innocent girls, sex makes them understand what people are hiding, and the communication between men and women in a closed room is also extremely equal, and they have fun with each other in the exchange, and they do not feel this in the depths of their souls. It is a shameless thing. In the eyes of young girls who have not yet entered the society, it is free and has no taboos. They escape from the constraints of ethics. For simple purposes, one is to raise money for travel, and the other is to make up for mistakes. Aided dating is no longer purely physical satisfaction or a desire for money, but is just a stick to self-belief. The second half of the film is about the redemption of the daughter and the father. The father is a policeman and knows the serious consequences of prostitution, so for the purpose of protecting his daughter, he secretly punishes those clients. He is the defender of ethics, the guardian of morality. He bears huge pain and struggle for his daughter's fault. When her daughter completes her mission, the pain and despair in his heart will become more and more difficult to calm down. He has two choices: either kill her daughter for complete redemption, or let her grow and self-redend. He chose the latter, forbearance, the care of holy souls, and the catharsis of sinners, is the blossom after forbearance.
